A half set of eyelash extensions is perfect if you want a softer look with fewer extensions, less time in the chair, and less maintenance. A full set gives you maximum volume and a more dramatic style. Subtle sets sit in between, offering definition while keeping the finish very natural. The right choice depends on your natural lashes, your lifestyle, and the style you want to create. At Edy London, we help you choose the best option so your extensions suit you perfectly.
What is a half set of eyelash extensions?
A half set of eyelash extensions, sometimes called half set lashes or a half lash, uses fewer extensions compared to a full set. Rather than covering the whole lash line with individual lashes, a half set focuses on either the outer corners or spreads across the eyes in a lighter way. This means only half of your lashes are extended.
The effect is more natural and subtle. You will see added length and curl where it matters most, often at the outer corners, without looking overly styled. For many clients, this is a great way to enhance natural beauty with semi permanent eyelash extensions that do not feel heavy.
Choosing a half set is also practical. It takes less application time, so you spend less time in the chair. It’s easier to maintain, and the price point is lower than a full set, making it ideal if you are on a limited budget. It also works if you are new to lash extensions and want to try them before committing to a fuller look.
What is a full set of lash extensions?
A full set lash extension treatment means applying individual lashes along the entire lash line. Every natural lash that can safely hold an extension will be covered. The result is a bold, dramatic style. You can expect maximum length, curl, and volume, depending on the style you choose.
A full set is ideal if you want your lashes to stand out without makeup. It gives you the polished, celebrity look that many clients ask for, because it creates a complete transformation. For special occasions or for those who love a more glamorous finish every day, this is the best choice.
The process takes longer than a half set because every lash is extended. Application time is usually around two hours, and the upkeep requires regular touch ups. But if you want the most striking result and do not mind the extra maintenance, a full set is worth it.
What is a subtle set of lash extensions?
A subtle set sits in between a half set and a full set. Think of it as a softer full look. You still get coverage along the lash line, but with fewer extensions than a full set. The aim is to create a style that looks natural, neat, and well balanced.
Subtle sets are perfect if you want noticeable definition but without dramatic volume. They add length and curl, but the result is closer to your natural lashes, just enhanced. This is often the best option if you want to look fresh and polished for everyday life while keeping your look effortless.
Subtle sets are also great if you do not want to commit to the higher upkeep of a full set but want more coverage than a half set. They give you the middle ground, and for many clients, this feels like the most versatile choice.
Why should you choose according to your needs?
When it comes to lash extensions, there is no one-size-fits-all. What suits one person may not work for another. Your decision should be based on your natural lashes, your lifestyle, and your style preferences.
If your natural lashes are fine, a full set may feel heavy. In that case, a subtle or half set could be more comfortable. If you are busy and want less maintenance, a half set might be the best route. If you want a dramatic finish for a special occasion or love a bold look every day, then a full set will give you that impact.
It is also worth thinking about application time. A half set takes less time to apply, which works well if you have a busy schedule. A full set takes longer but gives maximum coverage. Subtle sets sit somewhere in between.
Budget is another factor. A half set costs less because fewer extensions are used and the process is quicker. Subtle sets are mid-range, while full sets are the most expensive but also the most transformative.
By choosing the type of set that matches your needs, you make sure your extensions suit your lifestyle and feel easy to maintain.

A half set takes less time, usually about a 45 minutes. A subtle set is around 60 minutes. A full set can take around 75 minutes, depending on your natural lashes. All sets require some level of aftercare and regular touch ups if you want to maintain the look.
Which set is best for you?
If you want to test lash extensions for the first time, a half set is a gentle introduction. If you want polished everyday lashes, subtle sets are a safe bet. Or if you are after a striking, glamorous result, then a full set is the answer.
There is no wrong choice. It is about what suits your eyes, your lifestyle, and your personal taste. At Edy London, we help you find the balance so that your extensions feel like they belong to you.
