Eyelash Extension Training

Eyelash extensions are a hot trend in the beauty industry right now. Once reserved for the Hollywood elite, they have become a popular luxury for women who want to look naturally glamorous. The look has become so popular, in fact, that many salons are booked up months in advance for the procedure.

About Eyelash Extensions

In contrast to the full sets of faux eyelashes that women commonly wear for special occasions, eyelash extensions are individual, synthetic eyelashes that are individually bonded to your natural eyelashes to create longer, thicker and more dramatic lashes. As a semi-permanent method of achieving long, glamorous lashes, eyelash extensions can be worn daily and nightly and will last for upwards of a year with proper care and maintenance.

Depending on the experience of the cosmetologist applying the extensions, eyelash extensions may take anywhere between 45 minutes and 2 hours to apply. During the application process, clients will lay comfortably on a massage table.

About Eyelash Extension Training

If you are a licensed cosmetologist and want to broaden your skill set (and increase your business), you might consider enrolling in an eyelash extension training course. These courses are important for aspiring eyelash extension professionals, as the process of applying eyelash extensions requires a great deal of technical expertise. These online and in-person workshops are offered directly through the various eyelash extension manufacturers and will train you in the art of applying eyelash extensions properly. Training courses also include information on:

  • Health and Safety
  • Preparing the client for extensions
  • After care
  • Extension removal
  • Cost of service
  • Marketing

Eyelash extension training courses are generally only one day in length. Advanced training courses may also be available for learning techniques such as how to decrease the application time, how to apply extensions to the lower lashes and how to apply candied lashes. Candied lashes are those with a reflective or glittery appearance.
