Wispy lashes in Vancouver — the strip-lash look, without the strip
Alternating lengths and spike lashes create a feathery, textured finish — also known as Kim K lashes. This is Vancouver's most-requested lash trend right now: the look of perfectly applied strip lashes that feel weightless and last for weeks.
Each wispy set is handcrafted at our East Vancouver studio with custom spike placement designed for your eye shape.

What are wispy lashes?
Wispy lashes — also called Kim K lashes — use a combination of classic singles, volume fans, and intentional spike lashes placed at varying lengths across your lash line. The "spikes" are longer extensions placed at intervals to create a textured, feathery effect that mimics high-end strip lashes.
Unlike uniform volume or classic sets, wispy lashes are deliberately uneven. That's the design — the variation creates movement, dimension, and a modern look that photographs beautifully. This style became iconic through Kim Kardashian and has become one of the most popular lash trends worldwide.

Wispy lashes vs hybrid lashes
Both styles mix techniques, but the difference is intent. Hybrid blends singles and fans for a uniform textured look. Wispy adds deliberate spike lashes at intervals for a more dramatic, "editorial" finish with peaks and valleys in the lash line.
If you want texture but prefer a blended, even look, hybrid lashes are a better fit. If you love the look of strip lashes and want that Kim K effect permanently — wispy is your style.
Wispy lash aftercare
Keep lashes dry for 24 hours after application.
Brush gently with a spoolie each morning — helps maintain spike separation.
Clean daily with oil-free lash cleanser.
Avoid rubbing your eyes — spikes can shift if handled roughly.
Book fills every 2–3 weeks to maintain the spike pattern and overall shape.
