Mixed Lengths vs Single Length Lashes: Which Should You Choose?

When it comes to choosing your lash trays, one of the biggest decisions is whether to go for mixed length lashes or single length trays.

At Phatlash, we offer both options across a variety of lash styles, including Easy Fan Lashes, Russian Volume Lashes, Classic Lashes and Brown Teddy Lashes, so you can choose the option that works best for your lash sets and the way you like to work.

But what is the difference between mixed and single lengths, and which one should you choose?

What Are Mixed Length Lash Trays?

A mixed length tray contains multiple lash lengths in one tray.

For example, instead of buying a tray containing only 10mm lashes, a mixed tray might contain several different lengths, such as 8mm–14mm.

This gives you a selection of lengths ready to use without needing to purchase multiple individual trays.

Mixed trays are particularly useful when you're creating different lash maps, as you can easily switch between lengths throughout the set.

Why Choose Mixed Lengths?

More versatility – Having multiple lengths in one tray gives you more options when creating different lash maps and styles.

Great for beginners – If you're still building your lash collection, mixed trays allow you to try different lengths without buying a full tray of every size.

Convenient – You can keep a range of popular lengths together in one tray, making it easy to find what you need while working.

Perfect for experimenting – Want to try a new lash map? A mixed tray gives you plenty of lengths to experiment with.

What Are Single Length Lash Trays?

Single length trays contain one lash length throughout the tray.

For example, a 12mm single-length tray will contain 12mm lashes throughout, making it ideal if you regularly use a particular length in your lash sets.

Single length trays can be especially useful for lash techs who already know exactly which lengths they use most.

Why Choose Single Lengths?

Perfect for your go-to lengths – If you constantly reach for the same lengths, single trays make it easy to keep your favourites stocked.

Great for regular lash maps – If you have a signature lash style or frequently recreate the same maps, single lengths can be a practical option.

Easy to organise – Keeping individual lengths separate can make your lash trolley or storage system easier to organise.

Ideal for stocking up – If you get through a particular length quickly, buying a single tray means you have plenty of that specific size ready to use.

Mixed Lengths vs Single Lengths: Which Is Better?

There isn't necessarily a winner – it really comes down to how you work.

If you're new to lash extensions, mixed trays can be a great way to build your collection while giving you access to a variety of lengths.

If you're an experienced lash tech who knows exactly which lengths you use regularly, single-length trays can be a great way to keep your most-used lashes fully stocked.

And let's be honest – most lash techs will benefit from having a combination of both in their lash collection!
