Russian volume
Master the art of handmade fans.
Master the art of handmade fans.
A denser look, and a technique that sets you apart
You build every fan yourself. No pre-made fans: it is your technique that makes the set.
Hélène teaches you 3 methods to make your fans in under 3 seconds. After that, never again a box of pre-made fans.
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.
One month of launch coaching with her: two video calls and replies to your questions within 24 h.
What sets it apart, and why the technique matters
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.
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.
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.
Two eyelash extension techniques, two different gestures
| Criteria | Russian volume | Classic lashes |
|---|---|---|
| Technique | A fan of extensions on one natural lash | One extension on one natural lash |
| Diameter | 0.07 mm (fans of 2 to 6), or 0.10 mm (fans of 2 to 4) | From 0.10 to 0.20 mm |
| Set duration | About 2 h | About 1 h 30 min |
| Infill | About €60 · 1 h 15 min | About €50 · 1 h |
| Usual price of a full set | €90 to €150 | €70 to €90 |
These prices are observed benchmarks, never an imposed rate nor a promise of income: every technician sets her own.
One technique of your choice among four: here, Russian volume
The complete video training, three model sets corrected by Hélène on photo and video, and one month of launch coaching. The videos can be watched whenever you like.
From your first fan to your first clients
Hélène's 3 methods to make a fan in under 3 seconds.
0.07 mm in fans of 2 to 6 extensions, 0.10 mm in fans of 2 to 4 at most, depending on the natural lash.
Isolating the natural lash and placing your fan on it, never sticking two natural lashes together.
On a practice head first, then three sets on models of about 2 hours, corrected and approved by Hélène on photo and video.
Real sets on real people, charged at €50, the same price for everyone, while you are learning.
One month of coaching with Hélène: two video calls and replies within 24 h.
A real trainer, for real
The training is followed online, at home, at your own pace. 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 before approving your training.
You follow the training online, wherever you live. Would you rather learn by her side? Hélène also comes to your home for a one-to-one training day, from Saint-Tropez to Monaco (€790, outside the Fondations package).
The videos can be watched whenever you like, in the evening or at the weekend: you do not have to leave your job to begin.
Benchmarks, never promises
A Russian volume full set is usually charged €90 to €150, depending on the city, the costs and the level of each technician. The infill, every two to three weeks, maintains an existing set.
