Description

Although the State of Florida does not require a specific certification to provide the eyelash extension service, Florida does require a Cosmetologist, Esthetician, Full Specialist, Facial Specialist, or  Medical License as a prerequisite. This course then provides the added training necessary to become a master-level lash artist. Furthermore, superior results demand superior products and tools, so the workshop includes a high-end Professional Lash Kit.

Curriculum

We start by focusing on critical health and safety issues related to your client and you as a professional. Building on that foundation, we move into the fundamentals of lash artistry, covering everything from types of extensions to the skills required to create optimal results. You will receive step-by- step application training and learn the specific protocols for inner corners, outer corners, refills, removals, and more. We Finish the course by covering lash styling tips and tricks, client management, and photography. By the end of this course, you will be well versed on the appropriate professional tools and application techniques needed to complete beautiful Classic, Volume and Hybrid lash sets.

Admission Requirements

• Must purchase a Professional Eyelash Kit, Student Eyelash Kit, or pay a fee for supplies.
• Model is recommended for your final clinical practice.
• Must complete the entire eyelash extension training course and pass a written and practical exam to earn your eyelash extension certification.

VERY IMPORTANT: Trainees with a career in mind must be licensed in skin care, cosmetology, or be a student currently enrolled in a licensure program. While others may participate in the training as a hobby, please note that the State of Florida, as with most states, requires practitioners to hold a skin care or cosmetology license if they intend to charge a fee for services.

“Be prepared for a course that’s very hands-on, where we put the student’s eye and hand coordination to the test.”
