How Much to Charge for Lash Extensions

Short answer

Classic full sets typically run $100–$200, hybrid $130–$250, and volume or mega volume $150–$350, with two-week fills at roughly 40–50% of the full set price and three-week fills higher. Foreign fills carry a $15–$40 premium, removals run $20–$50, and most artists hold a 25–50% deposit against a 24–48 hour cancellation window.

Your rate is hourly, whether you admit it or not

A $180 volume set in two and a half hours works out to $72/hour before supplies, rent, and the time you spend on messages. Time every service for two weeks and price from the result — most artists find at least one service that’s actually paying them half of what they thought.

Deposits are the price of the calendar

25–50%, applied to the service, with a 24–48 hour window. The deposit isn’t really about the money — it’s about whether the appointment is real.

Raise prices annually, on a date

Announce it, honor existing bookings through the date, and stop explaining yourself. This trade runs on skill that compounds, and an artist still charging first-year rates in year four is basically subsidizing clients who’d happily pay more.

Frequently asked questions

How do I price fills correctly?

By interval. Two-week fills at 40–50% of a full set, three-week higher, and past three or four weeks you're doing a full set — so charge for one. Flat fill pricing is the most common way experienced artists lose money without noticing.

Should I take foreign fills?

Only at a premium, and only after seeing photos. Another artist's set can take twice as long to correct as a new one takes to build, and the result still gets judged as yours.

How do I raise my prices?

Announce a date, hold existing bookings at the old rate through it, and don't apologize. Skilled lash artists are chronically underpriced and the clients who leave over a $15 increase are rarely the ones filling your calendar reliably.

What about the free 'fix' appointments?

Offer a short stated window — say 72 hours — for genuine issues, and charge after it. An open-ended fix policy turns into free fills, and the clients who exploit it are almost never your best ones.
