Eyelash extensions are more than just a 2-day class. They need to be learned and practiced just like any other skill.
That's why it's important that your education includes hands-on practice.
Lash extensions doesn’t have clear standards or regulations, so there's an overwhelming amount of education and courses out there, and it’s hard to choose the program that suits your needs.
What are your challenges when it comes to picking a course? Comment below
Although its was a long drive for me to get to Fredericksburg Virginia, but when i find my beauty artists, I don't let them go 🤭🤭
Thank you for putting up with my pickyness 😅 💕
When you’re looking for lash training, don’t just look at pretty photos or big promises.
- Look at the educator’s student results.
- Read testimonials.
- Ask what’s included.
- Ask if you’ll get real hands-on practice.
- Ask if the instructor will actually let you do the work yourself or if they will take over if you are struggling (instead of guiding you through it)
Lashing is a skill. And the secret to success is repetition, consistency, and feedback, not more information.
If you’re serious about building a lash career with real support, comment “INTEREST” and I’ll add you to my interest list.
I take some time during the week to go to Facebook groups and help lash artists if a can by sharing my experience.
I love sharing my knowledge to the new generation of lash artists 🙏🏼
If you have a question on finding models, comment below and let me know if this is helpful 🙏🏼
Happy lashing 💕
After getting “certified,” I quickly realized that a certificate did not mean I was truly prepared.
I was practicing, researching, watching videos, and trying to teach myself everything I could, but I was still missing real guidance.
I wanted someone to watch my work, correct my isolation, help with placement, and give me real feedback.
That experience is a big reason why I teach the way I do today.
Because students don’t just need information. They need guidance, support, correction, and mentorship.
Proper education matters. And the right teacher can change your entire journey.
Part 3 is coming 👉🏼 key questions to ask when looking for instructor

I still remember laughing, feeling embarrassed about how long I'd been walking around like this.
and at the same time,
confused about how it got there in the first place 😅
Did this ever happened to you? Did you catch it quickly or found out at the end of the work day? Comment 👇🏼

Make sure you check your state laws regularly so you can provide services with peace of mind.
Certification and licensing are not always the same thing.
Even if your state does not require a lash certification, you may still need a board license, like an esthetician or cosmetology license, to legally offer lash services.
Each week, I’ll be answering common questions from new and aspiring lash artists.
Drop your questions in the comments.
In 2016, I signed up for a lash extensions course because I was curious about where this industry could take me.
Our instructor printed information from online and had never done lash extensions before, and the practical training we were supposed to receive barely happened. We never practiced on a live model or learned the foundations of safe lashing.
And still, we were handed certificates.
Looking back, this experience is a huge part of why I teach the way I do today:
a certificate should never replace real education, hands-on practice, mentorship, and accountability.
Came across this video as I was scrolling and it felt relatable as a lash artist 😅 I've woken up many clients from sweet napping, over the years 😊
I see this more with newbies. And this is the best time to pay attention to your sitting position, and teach your body the correct posture so you don’t have to unlearn bad habits later in your career.
Save this so you can refer back to it. Part 3 is linked to this reel.
Happy lashing,
