Classic Eyelash Extensions: The Foundation of Every Technique

In the world of eyelash extensions, there are countless styles, techniques, and effects – from volume lashes to hybrid and mega volume designs. Despite the wide range of options, one truth remains: classic eyelash extensions are the fundamental technique upon which all others are built. MONLIS School in Munich, one of Germany’s top institutions for lash and nail education, prioritizes in-depth training in the classic method from the very beginning.

1. What Are Classic Eyelash Extensions?

Classic eyelash extensions involve applying one extension to one natural lash – a 1:1 ratio. This method creates a natural, elegant look that enhances the eyes without being overly dramatic. It requires accuracy, sensitivity, and a deep understanding of lash anatomy.

2. Why Is the Classic Technique the Cornerstone of Training?

The classic method teaches all the fundamental principles of eyelash extension work:

• Isolating natural lashes properly

• Using the right amount of adhesive

• Applying extensions at the correct angle

• Understanding symmetry and design

These core skills are the technical and creative groundwork for advanced techniques like volume and hybrid styles. Without mastering the basics, it’s impossible to apply more complex methods safely or effectively.

3. Developing Fine Motor Skills and Precision

Applying individual lashes cleanly and evenly demands intense focus and well-developed fine motor control. Practicing the classic technique is the best way to build these abilities. At MONLIS, students receive structured hands-on training with close personal guidance to refine their precision.

4. Understanding Eye Shapes and Styling

Classic eyelash extensions are more than a technical exercise — they train the eye. In MONLIS’s foundational course, students learn how to analyze different eye shapes and create personalized lash designs. This design sensitivity is essential for customizing every set of lashes to the client's unique look.

5. Prioritizing Safety and Natural Lash Health

At MONLIS School, the health of natural lashes is paramount. The classic technique is the gentlest option, placing minimal stress on natural lashes and allowing them to grow freely. It fosters a clean and careful working style — essential for client satisfaction and long-term success.

6. A Solid Foundation for Career Growth

In the beauty industry, success is built on quality, consistency, and expertise. Mastering the classic method lays the groundwork for a professional lash career. From this base, students can confidently expand into creative designs, volume fans, and specialty effects. MONLIS provides this foundation with precision and years of proven experience.
