How to Become a Professional Lash Technician in the UK

Becoming a professional eyelash technician in the UK requires more than just a certificate. It takes a lot of practice and patience to strengthen your skills and master the techniques. To get started, it is important to attend a recognized training course that qualifies you to perform treatments. The fully accredited Lash Perfect courses offer training in classic individual, Russian and fast eyelashes, and allow you to get the right insurance.

Insurance is available through several agencies, including The Beauty Guild and ABT. When you train with Lash Perfect, you receive a special discount code for ABT. Many certification courses in the UK cover just one day of vocational training. However, even once you've earned your certification, you might not be ready to start charging customers for your eyelash services. You may even decide to take another intermediate training course.

Posh Look is a well-established nail brand and training school based in the United Kingdom with 3 training centers in the North West: Rawtenstall, Rochdale and Warrington. They specialize in four vocational degrees: nail technology, nail services, beauty therapy and artistic makeup. And they also offer a variety of one-day courses including semi-permanent eyelashes, tanning, eyelash tightening, waxing and brows. The new Russian eyelash extension, also known as 3D or Hybrid Lash, will give a new and smoother length and volume to your client's eyelashes. Eyelash lifting and tinting are a very popular treatment and a great success in the industry.

Train in eyelash lifting and tinting and improve your skills with us as part of a course package or just one. Lash Perfect's Lash Lift training course will cover everything you need to know to be able to perform eyelash tightening treatments for your clients. Lash Perfect's Russian eyelash course covers everything you need to know about offering eyelash treatments in Russian. On average, technicians need three to six months of practice before they can be called eyelash experts, although this depends on the person. In the United Kingdom, an eyelash extension treatment can cost between 85 and 100 pounds, depending on your experience and where in the country your beauty salon is located. Applying eyelash extensions can be complicated, and it can take months before you're ready to start charging customers for your service.

Once you've become a fully qualified eyelash technician, you'll need to take out insurance, especially liability insurance and product liability insurance. Whether you work in a beauty salon or plan to work from home, you'll need to get the appropriate eyelash qualifications.
