Are you ready to start or level up your lash journey?
The beauty industry is thriving, and a career as a lash artist can be fulfilling and a lot of fun!
But with so many lash extension courses available, how do you choose?
Whether you’re a beginner lash artist or an experienced lash tech, here’s everything you need to know to find the course that will truly support your dreams.
1. Know Your Goals
Before you start researching lash extension courses, knowing what you want to achieve is important.
Are you aiming to become a certified lash technician? Or are you already in the lash industry and looking to refine your skills?
Set your career goals upfront and ask yourself:
- Am I a beginner or looking for an advanced certification?
- What specific lash services do I want to offer? Do I want to specialize in Classic, Volume, or Hybrid Lashes or provide a range of styles?
- How important is continuous education and skill-building to me?
- Do I want guidance on client care, application techniques, or marketing techniques?
- What income goals do I have, and what am I willing to invest to reach them?
Clear answers to these questions will help you narrow your options and find the right lash course for your goals.

2. Check the Curriculum
Not all lash courses are created equal!
Researching the lash academy or training provider is an essential step in finding a reputable and trustworthy course.
Here are some tips to consider:
- Look for reviews and testimonials from past students.
- Check if the academy has qualified and experienced trainers who actively work in the lash industry.
- Find out if they offer ongoing support and resources for their students after completing the course.
- Consider their curriculum and whether it covers all the fundamentals of lash extension. You should learn isolation, application techniques, sanitation, and safety practices. Additionally, it should include client consultation and aftercare instructions.
- Look into the training materials and tools provided. A quality eyelash extension kit is essential for practical training.
3. Experience Hands-On Training
Lash artistry is an art that requires hands-on training to perfect the craft.
While online lash courses may seem convenient, nothing beats in-person training with an experienced lash tech beside you.
If possible, opt for in-person, where you can receive feedback and guidance from your trainer. Hands-on training provides the opportunity to practice on real models and prepares you for the experience of working with actual clients.
At Lashin' Out Academy, our students start each morning by practicing on mannequin heads before transitioning to working with real people. This approach helps you gain experience and confidence before working on live clients.
4. Research the Trainer
Your trainer can make or break your learning experience!
Take some time to research the instructor’s background and credentials. Ask other lash artists who they would recommend for training.
An experienced lash tech who has been in the industry for years can offer invaluable insights and hands-on training. Make sure they are certified and have a proven track record of success.
5. Community and Support Matter!
Starting out can be scary, but having a supportive community can make all the difference.
When choosing a lash course, look for one that offers ongoing support and resources even after completing the course. This could include access to private groups or forums to connect with other students and experienced lash technicians for advice and guidance.
