WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LICENSED AND CERTIFIED LASH TECHNICIAN?
Certifications are normally obtained through a private lash company's offering days of sessions or online courses. Only a state can issue a license. To become licensed, you must first complete a specific hours at an accredited institution and then pass an exam.
The most common misunderstanding is that certification refers to license. A lash artist certification does not imply that he or she is licensed.
