Why train in Russian volume?

A denser look, and a technique that sets you apart

Handmade fans

You build every fan yourself. No pre-made fans: it is your technique that makes the set.

Under 3 seconds per fan

Hélène teaches you 3 methods to make your fans in under 3 seconds. After that, never again a box of pre-made fans.

Your sets approved by Hélène

You first practise on a practice head, then you do three sets on models, of about 2 hours each. Hélène corrects and approves each one on photo and video.

Coaching by Hélène

One month of launch coaching with her: two video calls and replies to your questions within 24 h.

Understanding Russian volume

What sets it apart, and why the technique matters

What is Russian volume?

Russian volume means placing a small fan of very fine extensions on a single natural lash, for a denser look. Where classic lashes place one extension per lash, Russian volume places a fan. A full set takes about 2 hours.

Diameters and fan sizes

In 0.07 mm, a fan has 2 to 6 extensions per natural lash. Russian volume can also be done in 0.10 mm, but then in fans of 2 to 4 extensions at most. Choosing the diameter and the size of the fan means respecting your client's natural lash.

Why make your fans by hand

Boxes of pre-made fans exist. Hélène does not teach them: making your fans by hand is what makes someone a lash artist, and not just someone who sticks on lashes. With the 3 methods she teaches you, a fan takes under 3 seconds.

All of this is taught in the Fondations Russian volume package, with Hélène's follow-up and coaching.
