You'll be asked about thickness when you getting lashes, hope will help you out if you are confused about it.

What Is Lash Thickness?
Eyelash Extension Thicknesses range from .03mm to .30mm. Thicknesses of 0.20mm or above are being phased out in the lash industry worldwide because they are too heavy for most natural lashes to support.
