Eyelash extensions at MUA Salon are hand-isolated and applied one at a time to your own lashes by an artist trained in classic, hybrid, and volume techniques. Three tiers, one philosophy: weight-matched extensions that feel like nothing and read like the best version of your own lashes. 2D Hybrid Volume Set is $180, 3D Russian Volume Set is $200, and Volume is $250 — each a 1.5-hour appointment at 8336 West 3rd Street in Beverly Grove.
Eyelash extensions are individual synthetic or silk lashes adhered to each of your natural lashes with a medical-grade cyanoacrylate adhesive. Each extension is isolated, sized to the natural lash it sits on, and dropped into place. The result is added length, curl, or density — without mascara, without strip lashes, and without daily upkeep beyond a gentle morning brush.
At MUA Salon, every lash appointment begins with a short consultation about eye shape, lash density, lifestyle, and the look you want, then a custom map drawn directly onto a lash pad. We apply weight-matched extensions one at a time across both eyes, never knot multiple natural lashes together, and finish with a brush-out and aftercare walkthrough. For the full beauty menu, see our services index; for everything brow-related, head to the brow services hub.
The right tier depends on your natural lash density, the look you want, and how much daily fuss you are willing to do. All three are 1.5-hour appointments and all three use weight-matched extensions sized to your own lashes.
One silk extension applied to each natural lash. Reads like a soft mascara look — just longer and a little curlier. The right pick if you have medium to dense natural lashes and want subtle definition.
Book 2D Hybrid Volume Set →A mix of classic singles and lightweight 2D-3D volume fans across the lash line. Adds texture and a fluttery, lived-in look. The right pick if you want more drama than classic without going full volume — works for most lash densities.
Book 3D Russian Volume Set →Hand-made fans of three to six ultra-fine extensions per natural lash. The fullest, darkest, most defined finish. The right pick if your natural lashes are sparse, light, or fine, and you want a dense lash line that reads from across the room.
Book Volume →The honest version: there is no universally best lash tier. There is only the tier that fits your eye shape, your natural lash density, and the amount of upkeep you want.
Almond and round eyes carry every tier. Hooded and downturned eyes often look most lifted with a hybrid or volume map that places longer lengths off-center toward the outer third — never in the inner corner, which closes the eye. Monolid and upturned eyes typically suit a more even map with consistent length across the lash line. Your artist will sketch the map on the lash pad before adhesive ever opens.
If your natural lashes are dense, classic gives clean, mascara-like results without looking heavy. If your natural lashes are average, hybrid is the most forgiving choice. If your natural lashes are sparse or very fine, volume fans cover gaps and create a continuous, dark lash line that classic cannot reach.
If you swim, sweat, sauna, or rub your eyes daily, retention is harder in any tier — but volume tends to read better between fills because the fan structure leaves a fuller look as individual extensions shed. If you want a low-effort everyday lash, classic or hybrid is enough.
Plan for 1.5 hours start to finish across all three tiers. Come with clean lashes — no mascara, no eye makeup, no oil-based moisturizer anywhere near the eye area. Contacts must be removed at the door.
A full set of lash extensions stays full for about 2 to 3 weeks, then gradually thins as natural lashes finish their growth cycle and shed. Most clients book a fill every 2 to 3 weeks; the longest you should go between fills is 3 to 4 weeks before you cross from a "fill" into a full re-set. After 4 to 6 weeks, retention has usually dropped enough that we recommend a fresh full set instead of a fill.
Retention is a personal variable. People who sleep on their face, work out daily, live in dry climates, or take a lot of steam typically need fills closer to the 2-week mark. People who sleep on their back, avoid oils, and brush daily often stretch fills to the 3-week mark comfortably.

True allergic reactions to lash adhesive are uncommon but real, and they almost always involve cyanoacrylate, the active component in every professional lash adhesive. Mild irritation in the first 24 hours (slight redness, watery eyes, mild itch) is more common and usually resolves on its own; a true allergy presents as swelling, persistent itch, or burning that builds over days, not minutes.
Tell us at booking if you have very sensitive eyes, a history of contact dermatitis, or have ever reacted to acrylic nails or cyanoacrylate before. We can run a 24-hour patch test before your appointment, switch to a low-fume sensitive adhesive, or recommend a lash lift instead. If you develop swelling or persistent burning after application, contact us and your physician — we will remove the extensions free of charge.
Lash adhesive is engineered to bond, and the only safe way to release it is with a gel or cream remover and trained hands. Pulling extensions off at home — even gently, in the shower, even one at a time — almost always pulls natural lashes with them. We see the damage every week.
Removal at MUA Salon is a 30-minute appointment booked separately. The artist seals the lower lash line, applies remover along the upper lash band, lets it dissolve the adhesive, and slides the extensions off without stress on the natural lash. Book a removal by phone or pair it with a fresh classic, hybrid, or volume set.
All prices are in US dollars. A credit card on file is required at booking. For deposit and cancellation rules, see the policies page.
2D Hybrid Volume Set is $180, 3D Russian Volume Set is $200, and Volume is $250 — each a 1.5-hour appointment.
Classic is one extension per lash, hybrid mixes singles with fans, and volume uses hand-made fans of three to six fine extensions per lash.
The full set stays full for 2 to 3 weeks. Most clients fill every 2 to 3 weeks. After 4 to 6 weeks, a fresh full set is recommended.
Cleanse with a foaming lash wash, brush gently with a spoolie, avoid oils and rubbing, and sleep on your back or a silk pillowcase. See the Davines shop for compatible cleansers.
Not when sized correctly to your own lash and isolated one by one. Damage usually comes from extensions that are too long or too heavy, or from picking them off.
You will not need it. If you want extra definition for an event, use only a water-based, extension-safe mascara on the tips. Avoid waterproof formulas.
1.5 hours for all three tiers. Volume sometimes runs slightly longer for very dense lash lines.
True adhesive allergies are uncommon. If you have a history of sensitive eyes or contact reactions, we can run a 24-hour patch test or switch to a low-fume sensitive adhesive.
Always have removal done professionally with a gel or cream remover. Pulling them off at home pulls natural lashes with them.

Real answers to the questions our Los Angeles PMU artists get every week. If yours isn\
We recommend rescheduling if your appointment falls on the first two days of your menstrual cycle. Estrogen and progesterone levels affect skin sensitivity and clotting — you'll feel more pain, bleed more, and pigment retention drops. Days 5–14 of your cycle are ideal for PMU. This applies to microblading, nano brows, lip blush, and permanent eyeliner.
No. We do not perform microblading, nano brows, lip blush, or any PMU procedure on pregnant or actively breastfeeding clients. The concerns are stress on the immune system, hormone-driven pigment shifts (your color heals unpredictably), and the very small risk of blood-borne pathogens crossing to baby. We book you a consultation for after weaning.
Yes. Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo, ginseng, and alcohol for 48–72 hours before your appointment. These thin the blood, cause excess bleeding during application, and dilute the pigment — resulting in patchy healing. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is fine if you need pain relief. Never stop a prescribed blood thinner (warfarin, Eliquis, Plavix) without your doctor's approval.
No. Accutane makes skin extremely fragile and delays healing. You must be off Accutane for a minimum of 12 months before any PMU procedure. This is non-negotiable — attempting PMU on Accutane skin can cause scarring.
If you get Botox in the forehead or between the brows, get it either 2 weeks before microblading (so we can see the settled brow position) or 4 weeks after. Getting Botox right after PMU changes brow position and can distort the new shape while healing.
Often yes, but not always. Bring photos of the original work and current state to a free consultation. If pigment is heavily saturated or an unwanted color (blue-gray, orange), you may need a saline lightening session or laser removal before we can layer new work. Nano brows sometimes cover old microblading better than fresh microblading does.
Most clients describe it as a light scratching. We use topical lidocaine cream before and during the procedure, so pain typically stays at 2–3/10. Pain tolerance is higher on days 5–14 of your menstrual cycle and lower right before/during your period.
Days 1–3: color looks 30–40% darker and brows feel tight. Days 4–7: light flaking or scabbing lifts naturally. Days 8–14: color appears very light ('ghost stage') as new skin covers the pigment. Weeks 3–6: color re-emerges to its true tone. Week 6–8: perfecting touch-up session (included). Full heal at 4–6 weeks.
Oily skin holds microblading less well — hair strokes can blur into a solid look within 6–12 months. For oily skin we recommend nano brows (machine method with single-needle strokes) or powder brows — both hold sharper detail and last longer on oily skin types.
Yes to both. On darker lips we use neutralizing pigments to lift the natural color 1–2 shades and even out tone. If you have lip filler, get filler either 4 weeks before lip blush or 4 weeks after — never on the same week. We do not perform lip blush during an active cold-sore outbreak; if you have a history of cold sores, take valacyclovir per your doctor 3 days before and 3 days after.
That's exactly why we design carefully before the tool touches your skin — every session starts with a 20–30 minute brow-mapping process where we draw the shape and get your approval. The 6–8 week perfecting session lets us adjust density, shape, or color once you've lived with the result. If a full remove/redo is needed, we offer saline lightening at a discounted rate.
