Technique and application method
YY Volumen builds noticeable volume by attaching multiple lightweight extension fibers to individual natural lashes, layer by layer, to increase density without adding bulk. Technicians evaluate natural lash strength and choose fan size to balance fullness with lash health; this tailored layering shapes the final look while respecting the client's existing lash set.
Because YY Volumen increases density, the stylist must match volume choices to each client's natural lash condition; heavier fans create more visual fullness but depend on lash thickness and retention. During consultation we discuss desired drama versus maintenance needs, so clients can decide if the trade-off of more frequent fills is acceptable for a fuller result.
Appointment length and scheduling
A full YY Volumen appointment is scheduled for 150 MINUTES, which covers consultation, mapping the desired shape, and the layered application process. That time allows technicians to work carefully on each eye for balanced density and to adjust placement for asymmetry, which matters when clients want consistent volume across both eyes.
Pricing for YY Volumen begins Starting at $145; please check for add-ons. Lash Sunday appointments carry an extra charge, so clients who prefer weekend slots should plan accordingly. Our Portage Park studio is convenient for commuters near the Kennedy and Blue Line, with evening and weekend availability to suit after-work schedules or family routines.
Aftercare and longevity factors
Retention of YY Volumen depends on individual lash cycle and local conditions: Chicago's four-season climate — cold winters and humid summers — can affect extension retention and client routines. Oil-based cosmetics, heavy eye rubbing, and frequent water exposure shorten extension longevity, so adjustments to makeup and cleansing habits influence how long the enhanced look lasts.
Most clients plan regular maintenance visits to preserve volume; frequency varies with natural lash loss, lifestyle, and activities. Families and commuters in Portage Park often book evening or weekend fills to fit schedules, while those with active kids or shift work may require tighter maintenance intervals to keep consistent volume between appointments.
