London Lash’s Spring/Summer Lash Trend Predictions of 2024
As the seasons shift from the cozy, bundled-up days of winter to the vibrant, lively vibes of spring and summer, the beauty industry undergoes its own kind of metamorphosis. This year, here at London Lash, we’ll be predicting the upcoming trends that will dominate the lash scene in spring/summer 2024. From the subtle sophistication of brown lashes to the opposite end of the spectrum with colored lash extensions, we've got the inside scoop on what's hot, ensuring that you, as a Lash Technician, are not just prepared but are leading the charge in what’s on-trend.
Brown Lashes
Gone are the days when black lashes monopolized the scene, so don’t ever assume that a client automatically wants black lashes. 2024 is all about embracing a subtle, softer look with brown lashes, particularly in more natural C, and CC curls. Brown eyelash extensions offer a delicate, yet equally captivating alternative to the classic black, making them perfect for clients looking to soften their features or for those with lighter hair colors seeking a more natural look. Our range of brown lashes is designed to cater to this growing demand, ensuring your clients can enjoy the complimentary tone of brown lashes with all the quality and durability you’ve come to expect from London Lash.
Classic Lashes
Classic lashes have stood the test of time for a reason, they are ‘classic’ after all. They are the epitome of elegance and provide a seamless enhancement to the natural lashes, offering a one-to-one application ratio that promises a look ranging from natural to semi–dramatic, depending on the lengths and curls chosen. Classic lash extensions are not just a trend, they are usually the first technique that a Lash Tech masters. As we move into the warmer months of 2024, we predict a demand for more natural looks; therefore, the demand for Classic lashes continues to soar, with clients seeking that timeless beauty that only Classic lashes can provide.
Wet Lashes
Since 2020, we have heavily advocated for the Wet lash extensions trend, as they are truly beautiful! Wet set lashes are, yet again, making a splash this season, pun intended. This trend captures the look of fresh, dewy lashes as if you've just stepped out of the ocean or shower. It's an edgy, glossy finish that's perfect for those summer pool parties or tropical getaways. Wet lashes are achieved through a technique that includes closed fans or spikes applied in layers. In terms of product choice, if you want a glossy look opt for Chelsea lashes, giving the lashes a sleek, saturated look that lasts. This trend is not dying down, and we completely get why – it’s all about feeling fresh, fun, and a tad daring. If you want the full lowdown on Wet eyelash extensions, check out our blog post here.
Angel Lashes
Angel lashes are exactly as they sound – light, ethereal, and absolutely divine. This style is all about creating a light and feathery look that's both subtle and impactful, giving your clients a fluttery appearance that's hard to miss but looks nearly as natural as your own lashes. Angel lashes are achieved by using small, closed lash fans blended in with light and wispy individual lash extensions – similar to a Wet lash set, but a more toned-down version. Like any lash style, it should be tailored to suit any eye shape, and with Angel lashes, similar to Wet look lashes, you can customize the lash set while using our Angel lash map as a base. To create this angelic look, we suggest using lash extensions in lengths of 7mm up to 11mm, with the addition of eye-catching spikes, either handmade or premade.

Colored Lashes
Don’t limit yourself or your clients by sticking to only a natural palette this season when you can play with a spectrum of colors! Colored lash extensions are the perfect way to add a pop of personality to any look, especially during the spring and summer months when festivals, parties, and events are in full swing. From a more subtle top line to a bold bottom lash layer in vibrant hues that scream summer, colored lashes are a fantastic way for clients to express their individuality. Your clients could even opt for a block-colored set if they’re feeling daring, or a few strategically placed colored lashes within a set of Classic extensions will add a lovely pop of color. This trend is about making a statement and having fun while doing it! Not to mention, colored lash content can be really striking in an Instagram grid.

Lash Lifts
Now, let's talk about lash lifts because, although we adore lash extensions, we definitely need to show appreciation for this lash treatment! Lash lifts are all about taking what your clients already have and elevating it to new heights. This technique, which is basically perming the lashes, offers a stunning curl and lift to the natural lashes, creating a more open, wide-eyed effect that lasts for up to 6-8 weeks. It's the perfect choice for clients who love a low-maintenance routine but still want to wake up every morning with perfectly curled lashes that are ready to go.
A lash lift works by reshaping the natural lashes from the base, making them appear longer and fuller without the need for extensions. It's a fantastic option for those seeking a natural look or for clients whose lashes are straight or downward-facing and can benefit from a little lift. The result? Beautifully curled lashes that enhance the eyes without the need for daily curling or mascara. Keeping with the popular natural-looking ‘clean girl aesthetic’, this is why we think that lash lifts are going to be a super popular treatment this spring/summer.
As spring/summer 2024 unfolds, these lash trends are set to dominate the beauty scene. By embracing these trends, you're not just updating your services, but you're also elevating your craft, creating bespoke lash looks that celebrate individuality, beauty, and the joy of transformation for every client who walks through your salon door. We're excited to see how these trends turn out and how you bring them to life!
