Eyelash Extension Courses Can Kick-Start A New Career
If you are looking for something to supplement or change your career path, why not try one of the eyelash extensions courses that are available? There will always be a demand for eyelash technicians, as a lot of women are regularly on the lookout for ways to improve their looks, and the eyes are the number one feature for this. Although eyelash extensions are only one way to improve the look of your eyes, the products are improving all the time and are therefore becoming more popular.
You could put this new qualification to good use by either working in a salon or as a mobile eyelash technician. As people will pay good money for a beautician to come to their home and mobile technicians do not seem to advertise this service, you could easily be onto a winner as word gets around! You can of course offer this service from your own home if you wish. Working for yourself has advantages and disadvantages of course, and you will have to sort out your own insurances and taxes as well as finding your supplier and most importantly – clients. Some areas will have more competition than others, so keep this in mind if you go down the self-employed route.
So where can you find eyelash extension courses and how what will they cost? If you already work in a salon, ask them if they will fund you, if there is no one there who is qualified, they probably will be happy to help out.
It is always worth contacting the eyelash extension suppliers as they often run their own courses, although these may not be local. Naturalash for example run two of their own eyelash extension courses, Level 1 and Level 2. You can even get a course online, but obviously, you will need to practice on your friends to perfect your technique. If you need to stay local and want to see firsthand how to do things rather than watching videos, try your nearest beauty college.
The length and cost of your course will vary depending on the location and quality of the course in question. For instance, Naturalash courses begin at $325 and include everything you need, including a lash kit and a free refresher course. The courses can be completed at your own pace and will take a minimum of one full day while other online course can be completed in just half a day. Make sure your course is at least accredited by Associated Skincare Professionals (ASCP).
Above all, and as you may expect, to become a good eyelash technician and be recommended by your clients you will need plenty of practice! Do not just expect to get everything right straight away.
Whether you are looking for a new career or to supplement your current one, eyelash extension courses are a good idea. They are relatively fast, not that expensive if you do an online one, and can easily give your career a helping hand.
