Key Takeaways
Explicitly labelled anime and manga full sets found in London listings range from £60 to £150 - but that spread reflects very different service structures, not simply different price tags.
Appointment time alone does not explain the price gap: two providers advertising a 2h30 appointment are priced £90 apart.
The 3-layer construction - spikes, a supporting base, and the density connecting them - means the whole set design drives cost, not simply the number of visible spikes.
Maintenance costs matter as much as the initial price: infill eligibility rules, timing windows, and whether removal is included can significantly change your 12-week spend.
At Eyelash & Eyebrow Haus by Glamorous Lashes London, pricing follows the underlying technique and density required, while the anime design itself is always custom-mapped to the client's features.
If you have searched for anime lash prices in London and landed somewhere between confused and frustrated, that is because almost every quote tells a different story. Understanding why the numbers vary so much - and what to actually compare - is the real starting point.
Anime Lash Pricing in London at a Glance
Question | Quick answer |
What do anime lashes cost in London? | In the live London listings referenced in this article, explicitly labelled anime and manga full sets range from £60 to £150. |
Why is the range so wide? | Because anime lashes describe a design, not one standardised treatment package. Density, custom mapping, base structure, and what is included all affect the final price. |
How much do infills cost? | Anime-labelled infills range from £60 to £109. Our relevant infill pricing runs from £80 to £155, depending on set type, timing, and appointment length. |
When do anime lashes usually need an infill? | For the crispest look, usually around 2 to 3 weeks. For our salon, infill eligibility runs up to 4 weeks if roughly 40 to 50% of lashes remain. |
What usually pushes the price up? | A denser base, more detailed spike work, more custom mapping, a longer appointment, and extras such as removal or lower lashes. |
What is the biggest mistake when comparing prices? | Looking only at the full set price instead of the ongoing 8 to 12 week maintenance cost. |
What do we charge at Eyelash & Eyebrow Haus by Glamorous Lashes London? | We price by the underlying lash technique and density required, with full sets ranging from £135 to £300. |
Every set is created by a Master Lash Technician, with personalised consultation, custom mapping, and individually handmade volume fans where required. We tailor the density and technique to your natural lashes and the anime look you want, so the result is designed around you rather than copied from a standard map. |

Great anime lashes are about more than adding a few dramatic spikes. The supporting density, placement, symmetry, and custom mapping all need to work together for the finished set to look sharp, balanced, and flattering.
At Eyelash & Eyebrow Haus by Glamorous Lashes London, every set is created by a Master Lash Technician and tailored to your features. We use personalised mapping and hand-make our volume fans individually, choosing the underlying technique and density needed for the anime look you want.
London Anime Lash Prices: £60 to £150 - But the Range Hides a Lot
In London 2026, explicitly labelled anime and manga full sets range from £60 to £150, with appointment times advertised anywhere from 1 hour 15 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes.
That sample is a researched snapshot of what is currently advertised - not a market average. Prices change, and not every London technician lists their anime work under a dedicated label. A July 2025 feature in The Times reported £100 to £200 as a typical range for a full custom anime set, noting that particularly intricate work can take up to three hours. That figure is useful context for specialist custom appointments, though it predates the booking data above by approximately one year.
Why No Single 'Anime Lash' Price Exists
The simplest explanation is that anime lashes is a design category, not a density or technique category. Understanding this distinction removes a lot of confusion.
Design Category vs. Density Category
Look at how London providers label these services: Manga, Wispy, Anime, Thai, Barbie, Fox. These labels clearly do not describe one standardised technical package. At some salons, an anime finish is one option within a broader styling appointment. At others, it is a fully dedicated, custom-mapped design session. The visual outcome can look similar; the workload and price architecture behind it can differ considerably.
At Eyelash & Eyebrow Haus by Glamorous Lashes London, the salon we do not currently publish a standalone anime lashes price. Appointments are priced according to the underlying lash technique and density required, while the anime design is custom-mapped to each client's features. That approach makes the pricing more accurate - and it means the right appointment needs to be matched to the actual look being created.
Appointment Time Does Not Explain the Gap
This is one of the most useful things to understand when comparing quotes. Two current London listings advertise the same 2h30 slot - one at £60, one at £150. A £138 appointment, meanwhile, runs at just 1h15. Chair time is clearly not the deciding variable. Service construction, technician method, density, customisation, and what is included all contribute. Reversing-engineering quality or product cost from a booking duration alone simply does not work.
What the 3-Layer Construction Actually Costs
Professional manga lash guidance describes the look as a multi-layer design: shorter wispy fans at the base, shorter closed fans in the middle, and longer isolated spikes on top. The deliberate spacing and directional placement of those spikes - combined with the supporting structure beneath them - creates the characteristic doll-like effect.
Spikes, Supporting Base, and Why Both Drive Price
The visual impact of anime lashes comes from the contrast between the spikes and everything underneath. That supporting base can range from a relatively light foundation to a dense, full-volume structure - and the density of that base changes the appointment time, the technique required, and ultimately the price. Pricing the style by counting visible spikes misses the real workload. The complete design is what matters.
More Spikes Does Not Mean a Higher Bill
There is no standard London price per spike. Professional product guidance suggests roughly 8 to 16 spike fans per eye depending on the desired effect, with shorter Classic or Russian lashes filling between them. A set with fewer spikes may still require a dense or complex base. A set with more spikes might use a lighter supporting structure. Spike count is just one variable inside a larger design decision.
Our Pricing: Technique and Density, Not a Fixed Anime Tariff
Our lash menu is structured around the underlying set and density required. The anime design sits on top of that framework - custom-mapped to each client - rather than being sold as a one-size-fits-all treatment.
Full-Set Menu: £135 to £300
Appointment category Max duration Price Classic Up to 1h30 £135 Light Volume / Hybrid Russian / Silk / Japanese Up to 1h30 £165 Medium Volume / Hybrid Russian / Silk / Japanese Up to 1h45 £185 Full Volume / Hybrid Russian Up to 2h £205 Mega Volume Russian Up to 2h30 £250 Ultra Mega Volume Russian Up to 3h £300
Fuller sets carry more appointment time and a higher price - and within our volume categories, we hand-make every fan individually. That is a confirmed part of how we work, not a general industry claim.
What We Include - and What Is Separate
We include a personalised consultation at every appointment, and our anime sets are custom-mapped to the client's eye shape and features. Removal is listed separately at £35 to £50. A £50 non-refundable deposit is required to secure a booking. Because we price by underlying technique and density rather than a fixed anime tariff, the right appointment for a specific reference look is best confirmed at consultation.
Anime Lash Infill Prices and Eligibility
London Infill Examples
Explicitly labelled anime infills are less common than full-set listings. Current examples found in live London data include ranges from £60 - £109. Many salons do not publish a separate anime infill price at all, absorbing maintenance under a general hybrid or volume label.
Our Infill Rules: 40 to 50% Remaining, 4-Week Limit
To qualify for an infill, clients need roughly 40 to 50% of their extensions remaining. We do not infill beyond four weeks due to natural lash growth. Our infill menu is structured by underlying set category, time elapsed, and appointment duration:
Classic infills: £80 (up to 60 min)
Light & Medium Volume / Hybrid / Silk / Japanese: £85 to £135 depending on timing (up to 2 to 4 weeks) and duration (60 to 75 min)
Full, Mega & Ultra Volume Russian: £95 to £155 depending on timing and duration
These are not published as a dedicated anime infill price. Which appointment applies depends on the underlying set booked.
When an Infill Becomes a New Set
If fewer than 40 to 50% of extensions remain, or if it has been longer than four weeks since the last appointment, a full new set is required. A cheaper advertised infill is only relevant if you actually qualify for one.
Real Maintenance Costs Over 12 Weeks
The headline full-set price is only part of the picture. Below are transparent illustrative 12-week scenarios, with the initial set at week zero and infills across the following weeks:
Little Girl anime and wispy, maintained every 2 weeks: £138 set plus five x £89 infills = £583 total, approximately £194 per four-week period
Little Girl, maintained every 3 weeks: £138 plus three x £109 = £465 total, approximately £155 per four-week period
Our Light Volume (illustrative only): £165 plus three x £95 (60-min, up-to-3-week infills) = £450 total, £150 per four-week period
Our Full Volume (illustrative only): £205 plus three x £115 (60-min infills) = £550 total, approximately £183 per four-week period
These are models, not quotations. Their purpose is to show that a £20 or £30 difference in the initial appointment cost can matter far less than the ongoing infill price, timing window, and whether removal is periodically needed.
One nuance worth flagging: our anime guide recommends infills around every 2 to 3 weeks to maintain the crisp spike pattern, while our price list permits infills up to four weeks where enough lash coverage remains. These are not contradictory. The first describes when the design looks its freshest; the second is the maximum eligibility window.
How to Compare Two Anime Lash Quotes Fairly
When a quote looks cheaper or more expensive, here is what to look at before deciding:
Design category: Is anime a dedicated custom appointment, or one option within a general styling service?
Underlying density and technique: What base supports the spikes - light hybrid or full volume? Hand-made or premade fans?
What is included: Consultation, custom mapping, removal, and lower lashes are frequently separate services. Our removal is listed at £35 to £50.
Infill eligibility rules: A lower infill price is irrelevant if the eligibility threshold is stricter.
Appointment time: Useful context, but clearly not a reliable price predictor on its own.
Anime Lash Pricing: Your Questions Answered
Are Anime Lashes Pricier Than Standard Extensions?
Sometimes, but not automatically. At Hehe Beauty Bar near Russell Square, anime lashes are priced at £90. At Little Girl Eyelash in Hanover Square, the anime and manga designed set sits at £138, above their Classic and premade Hybrid options, but below their higher-volume work. Anime can carry a design premium, but it does not automatically outprice every volume service.
Does Location in London Change the Price?
Geography plays a role, but it does not explain the market on its own. The £60 and £75 examples sit further from the West End, while one W1 listing reaches £138 - but there is also a £150 listing from N12. London prices vary by provider, service structure, complexity, and location. Some Central London specialist services sit towards the higher end, but location alone does not determine the price.
Is Removal or Lower Lashes Included?
Rarely as standard. Our removal is listed separately at £35 to £50. At Hehe, removal is £10 and lower lashes £20 as separate services. Little Girl Eyelash charges separately for removal depending on the scenario. Always check what a quoted price actually covers before comparing numbers.
How much do anime lash infills cost in London?
It varies widely. In the current London sample referenced in this article, explicitly labelled anime or related manga-style infills ranged from £60 to £109. In many salons, though, anime maintenance is priced under Hybrid or Volume infill categories rather than listed as a separate anime service.
Are anime lashes always more expensive than Hybrid or Volume lashes?
No. Sometimes anime lashes sit above softer sets because of the extra design work, but they do not automatically cost more than every Hybrid, Russian, or Mega Volume appointment. The real answer depends on the underlying set needed to create the look.
The Right Anime Appointment Depends on the Look You're Creating
There is no universal anime lash price because there is no universal anime lash set. The look is defined by the spike design, the supporting density beneath it, and how the map is tailored to the client's actual eye shape - all of which vary appointment to appointment. Rather than publishing a fixed anime tariff, the right approach is matching the design to the underlying appointment required to create it.
