Light vs. Dark Brown Lash Extensions: Which Should You Stock?

In a beauty market where customization is key, stocking only black lashes may no longer be enough to meet client demands. More and more lash artists are offering brown lash extensions as a softer, more versatile alternative – and for good reason.

But when it comes to light vs. dark brown lash extensions, what’s the difference? Which should you stock for your lash brand? And how do you guide clients to the right choice?

In this post, we’ll break down the key differences between light and dark brown lash extensions – and how stocking both can elevate your lash business.

Why Are Brown Lash Extensions Trending?

Brown lash extensions are becoming a go-to for clients who want a more natural, subtle look. Perfect for fair-skin clients, brown lashes add dimension without the intensity of black and are ideal for clients who are after a natural looking lashes look.
