This Is How Much Eyelash Extensions Will Cost You

Curling your lashes and applying mascara everyday can be a real drag. Not to mention that if you use waterproof mascara, taking off your makeup at the end of the day is not exactly an easy feat. Because we're all willing to try anything to make life just a little easier, there's no surprise that eyelash extensions are becoming super popular these days. You can get all the perks of having dark, dramatic, curled lashes without the hassle of application and removal on a daily basis! The only question is, how much to eyelash extensions cost?

Well, the cost really depends on the salon you decide to go to. There are some places that can charge as low as $10, but, as The Gloss points out, the quality will probably not be as good as if you splurged on pricier extensions. You really don't want someone inexperienced getting up close and personal with your eyeballs! More reputable salons could charge $150 or more for one application that lasts about 4 to 6 weeks, according to the Huffington Post.

So, it really depends how much you're willing to spend to forgo your daily mascara application. If you want to try DIY eyelash extensions at home, you could end up paying about $10 for a kit. The at-home version only lasts about 1 to 2 weeks, but at a fraction of the cost. So, if you trust yourself with semi-permanent glue, it might be the best option!
