Small Class Sizes

Do their students have full books and returning clientele? Are their students award winning lash artists? This will tell you a lot about their training!
What certifications and/or awards does your educator have?

Do your research on the company you want take your lash training with! How long have they been in business and do they have previous student testimonials or reviews you can read? Is your educator certified? How many certificates do they have, and is their education current? The lash industry is constantly changing + improving! It is important to keep up to date on new trends and ways of doing things. Is your educator still active in the lash industry? You know what they say – if you don’t use it – you lose it!

What kind of support is offered after your training is completed?

At the end of the day, it comes down to doing your research! Look for a reputable lash education company, and ask a lot of questions. Find a company that holds similar values to you, and truly cares about seeing their students become successful industry leaders!
