Double Classics, Flat Lashes, W Lashes & YY Lashes: What's the Difference?
With so many lash options available, it can be tricky knowing which style is right for your client. While they all create beautiful results, each lash type offers its own unique finish, making it easier to customise every set.
Here's a quick breakdown of the differences and when to reach for each one.
Double Classic Lashes
Double Classic Lashes feature two ultra-fine lashes joined together at the base, allowing you to apply them just like a classic lash.
They create a fuller, fluffier appearance than traditional classics while maintaining the clean, defined look clients love.
Best for:
-
Clients wanting more coverage than classics
-
Filling small gaps in the lash line
-
Soft, natural-looking enhancement
-
Faster application compared to creating handmade fans
What’s the difference between double classic and YY? 
Flat Classic Lashes
Flat Lashes have a flattened base instead of a round fibre. This allows them to sit closer to the natural lash, creating improved contact and the appearance of a darker lash line without adding extra weight.
Best for:
-
Classic lash lovers
-
Better retention
-
Dark, defined lash lines
-
Clients with finer natural lashes
Think of them as your everyday classic lash—with an upgrade.
W Lashes
W Lashes are made up of multiple fibres joined together in a distinctive W shape, instantly creating soft volume and beautiful texture.
Our W lashes come in 3D (3 strands in one lash) 5D and 6D and also in brown!

They're ideal for achieving a fuller look while still keeping your treatment time efficient.
Best for:
-
Wispy styling
-
Light volume sets
-
Clients wanting more fullness than classics
-
Faster appointments
YY Lashes
YY Lashes feature two fibres that cross over one another, creating a lightweight, feathery finish with added texture.
They sit beautifully between classic and volume lashes, making them perfect for clients who want something a little fuller without committing to a full volume set.
Best for:
-
Natural textured sets
-
Soft Hybrid-style effects
-
Fine natural lashes
-
Soft, fluffy finishes
