2-Day Beginner Lash Training Curriculum
​
Important Note: This 2-day training course includes hands-on practice with two real lash models. Working with real models is crucial as it presents unique challenges and differences compared to faux mannequins. This practical experience is designed to help you master techniques and prepare you for working with actual clients. All model sets will be supervised by Master Lash Artist Alice to ensure you receive expert guidance and feedback.
​
Option 1: Consecutive Days You can choose to complete the training over two consecutive days. However, for optimal learning and skill development, we recommend dividing the training into separate days. This approach allows you to practice the techniques learned in Day 1 before applying them to a real model on Day 2.
