How Y-shaped fans work
YY Volumen uses Y-shaped extension fans — small fans that split into a Y configuration — placed along your natural lash line. Each fan is positioned to build exceptional fullness while respecting the natural lash direction and spacing. The technique emphasizes layered texture and depth, producing a multi-dimensional finish without disrupting the overall lash line appearance.
Placement is precise and selective: stylists choose fan size and position to add volume where natural lashes allow support. That targeted approach creates bold, expressive eyes while balancing weight across individual natural lashes. The trade-off is that achieving dramatic volume requires careful skill, so placement prioritizes retention and natural lash integrity over sheer density alone.
What to expect at appointment
A full YY Volumen service is scheduled for exactly 150 MINUTES and begins with a brief consultation to confirm your desired intensity and check natural lash health. The technician then works methodically while you recline comfortably; placement is detailed and sequential. Note: Sunday appointments include an additional charge, which will be confirmed when booking.
Beverly BeautySkincare and spa sits in Portage Park, Chicago, convenient for commuters using the Kennedy or the Irving Park Blue Line station. Evening and weekend availability helps families and shift workers book before or after commitments. Walk-ins and neighborhood retail partnerships around Six Corners and Central Avenue make last-minute scheduling more feasible for local clients.
Care and long-term considerations
Retention and the look you get from YY Volumen depend on natural lash cycles, nightly habits and local conditions. Chicago’s four-season climate — cold, snowy winters and hot, humid summers — can influence scheduling and how long extensions last between check-ins. Fuller, textured sets may need more attentive daily care to keep the multi-dimensional finish looking balanced.
To protect the natural lash line, communicate any history of lash treatments, sensitivities, or allergies before service. Aftercare focuses on gentle handling: avoid rubbing, rough removal of eye makeup, and consistent exposure to heavy oils or steamy environments. Regular check-ins with your technician let them monitor retention and advise on subtle adjustments without compromising lash health.
