Are you ready to become a lash artist? If so, please continue reading and learn more about eyelash extension certification requirements! Anyone from California who is preparing to offer lash extension once we are all back to normal?

According to the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, the minimal prerequisite for lawfully performing lash extensions is that your artist is a licensed cosmetologist or licensed esthetician.

Only licensed cosmetologists and estheticians are allowed to apply eyelashes, eyelash extensions, eyelash strips, and make-up to anyone.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LASH TECHNICIAN WITH A LICENSE AND ONE WITH A CERTIFICATION?

Certifications are typically obtained through days of sessions or online courses offered by a private lash business. A license can only be issued by a state. To obtain a license, you must first complete a certain number of hours at a recognized institution and then pass an exam.

The most widespread misconception is that certification equates to a license. A certification as a lash artist does not imply that he or she is licensed.

Lashes and Ultra Crystal Clear Bond are used in this set. To shop, please click here.

As stated in section 7316 of the California Business and Professions Code in part reads as follows:

Lashes, Color Lashes, Ultra Crystal Clear Bond and Lash Wand Tube are used in this set. To shop, please click here.

(c) Within the practice of cosmetology there exist the specialty branches of skincare and nail care.

(1) Skincare is any one or more of the following practices:

As stated in section 7317 of the California Business and Professions Code reads as follows:

Except as provided in this article, it is unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to engage in barbering, cosmetology, or electrolysis for compensation without a valid, unexpired license issued by the board, or in an establishment or mobile unit other than one licensed by the board, or conduct or operate an establishment, or any other place of business in which barbering, cosmetology, or electrolysis is practiced unless licensed under this chapter.

Board didn’t provide any training on this, any lash artist can look for training to further develop their skills.

IS BECOMING A LASH TECHNICIAN WORTH IT?

The lash extension industry is currently expanding. Your investment of time and money in lash extension training will pay off in the long term since you will have more time and money.  Because extensions are tricky to apply, it can take months before you're ready to start charging clients for them. If you don't get the hang of it right away, dedication is required, in some cases, more than one training course may be required.
