What Does an Eyelash Technician Do?

An eyelash technician is a beauty professional who specializes in applying false eyelashes. They are trained to apply individual lashes to each eyelid, ensuring that they look natural and symmetrical. Becoming an eyelash technician usually requires qualifying for a beautician or cosmetologist license, as well as additional training in applying eyelashes. Depending on the laws where you live, you may also have the option of providing eyelash services in your own home or in your clients' homes.

An eyelash certification course will cover everything you need to start your career as a certified eyelash technician. Companies that sell professional-quality eyelashes and extensions also offer educational programs and certifications for those who want to become eyelash technicians. The work of an eyelash technician requires patience, sharp vision and firm hands, not to mention a good amount of training. Eyelash technicians are in high demand because they can combine the application of false lashes with other beauty services such as waxing, threading, or dyeing the eyebrows.

To work at The Lash Lounge Yonkers — Central Park Avenue, a relevant certification is required before a stylist begins training. Eyelash technicians can take pride in the results of their work and the satisfaction of their customers. They can also use technology to create marketing materials, design flyers, and update social media accounts. The U.

S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn't track the income of eyelash technicians.
