Step 1: Research and Education

Learn About the Job: Before you start, understand what a day in the life of a lash artist looks like. You’ll spend most of your time applying lash extensions, consulting with clients about their desired look, and maintaining hygiene and safety standards.

Get the Right Education: You need proper training. Look for certified lash courses that cover everything from lash application techniques to hygiene and customer service. Make sure the course is accredited or recognized by professional beauty associations.

 

Step 2: Get Certified

Why Certification Matters: Getting certified shows that you have the skills and knowledge to apply lashes safely. It also builds trust with potential clients.

How to Get Certified: After completing your training, you’ll usually take a practical exam to get certified. This might involve applying lashes on a model under the supervision of a trainer.

 

Step 3: Gather Your Tools and Supplies

Essential Tools:

  • Lash tweezers

  • Lash glue

  • Different types of lashes (silk, mink, synthetic)

  • Eye patches and tape

  • Disinfectants and hygiene supplies

Setting Up Your Workspace: Make sure your workspace is clean and professional. Good lighting and a comfortable chair for your client are also important.

 

Step 4: Practice

Build Your Skills: Practice is key. Start by practicing on friends or family members. Take photos of your work to see your progress and areas that need improvement.

Get Feedback: Ask for feedback from your models and mentors. This will help you improve and prepare for working with paying clients.

 

Step 5: Start Your Business

Legal Requirements: Check your local business regulations. You might need a business license or specific permits to start working as a lash artist.

Finding Clients: Start by offering your services to friends and family. Use social media to showcase your work and attract new clients. Special offers or discounts can also help in the beginning.

Set Your Prices: Research what other lash artists in your area charge. Your prices might be lower at first as you build a client base.

 

Step 6: Continuing Education

Stay Updated: The beauty industry is always changing. Keep learning new techniques and styles by attending workshops, online courses, and industry conferences.
