How Do I Become A Lavish Lashes Professional?
Lavish Lashes Requirements for Certification |
State Regulations
State licensing requirement for the application of lash extensions vary from state to state, so it is incumbent upon you to research the requirement for your state and comply with any laws and requirements concerning the application of any lash extension products. Please be advised that since lash extensions are still relatively new to the U.S., you may not find a specific reference to “lash extensions” or “eyelash extensions” written in the codes. However some states may provide a definition that would include lash extensions, such as, “applying eyelashes to any person”. |
Lavish Lashes™ Policy
Although state licensing requirements may vary, the use of lash extension products is for Professionals Only. As an expressed condition of any sale through Lavish Lashes, you must submit proof of license as required by your state, or whereby licensing is not required you must submit proof of formal training. Beauty industry professionals and authorized medical professionals interested in learning this exciting new technique are encouraged to apply. |
You first as the professional
Applying lash extensions requires you to have steady hands, keen vision, good depth perception, great attention to detail and patience . Also, since you will be isolating eyelashes with your non-dominant hand, it helps to have good dexterity. |
Equipment and work environment
The Lavish Lashes™ kit comes with everything you need to get started. However, since applying lash extensions safely requires great precision, you may need to consider tools to enhance your vision such as a magnification visor, loupe, or reading classes. You will also need to evaluate the lighting in your work environment as it may be necessary to purchase additional overhead lighting or a lamp that reduces eye strain, through full spectrum lighting. Your client will need to be fully reclined such as in an esthetician chair, or massage bed to best view your client’s lashes and apply lash extensions comfortably. You’ll need to place your lash extension supplies on a table stand or counter within arm’s reach. And a quite, soothing environment is best, as most clients will fall asleep during this relaxing procedure. It is recommended that most lash removals be done with both you and your client sitting upright with the appropriate back and neck support. Doing so can prevent the highly viscous solution from accidentally entering the eye. For this reason, you will want to have an adjustable chair or stool with both back and head support for your client, and at least one other adjustable chair or stool for you. |

Once you purchase your kit and training, you will be provided an instructional booklet (Supplemental Instructional DVD coming soon!), and a free set of strip lashes and free supply of standard lash extensions, so you can begin practicing prior to attending class.

But don’t worry, we’re committed to helping you succeed . Ongoing basic training, technique review and consultation are free!

No matter your experience as a beauty professional, Lavish Lashes™ can help you develop the knowledge and skills you need to excel as a Lash Extension Specialist. When you receive a certificate from Lavish Lavishes™ you’ll be recognized among the best in the industry. |
For qualified industry professionals learning the technique for the first time:
Step 1: Choose and purchase either One-on-One training ($950) or a Small Group Class ($700 per person) in “ Lash Extension Basic Technique & Safety”. Classes are available at select cities nationwide. Onsite training is also available. You must successfully complete the course by demonstrating in class that you grasp the key concepts and can do the technique safely in order to receive your certificate. Step 2: Choose and purchase either an Essentials Kit ($525) or a Pro-kit ($895). Once you have decided on a scheduled date and location to take your training, both the course and the kit must be purchased at the same time and at least 2 weeks in advance of your training date in order to allow ample time for you to receive your kit and begin practicing the technique on a mannequin head prior to class. |
**You must provide proof of prior certification or training in lash extensions and/or receive internal approval before this rate will apply. Classes are available at select cities nationwide. Onsite in-salon training is also available. You must successfully complete the course by demonstrating in class that you grasp the key concepts and can do the technique safely in order to receive your certificate. Once you have decided on a scheduled date and location to take your training, both the course and the kit must be purchased at the same time and at least 1 week in advance of your training date in order to allow ample time for you to receive your kit and review the training material. |
If you have 3 or more people interested in training, you may wish to consider on-site training at your location . The same steps apply as above, however instead of incurring the travel cost and potential hotel cost of 3 people, you will simply incur the transportation and hotel cost for one Certified Trainer, ($100-400). Please keep in mind that for safety reasons, the ideal training environment requires that our Trainer have the ability to be within close and direct view of each student during the hands-on training segment with the model. This requires the massage beds or esthetician chairs to be in the same room, otherwise different accommodations may need to be explored.
