In addition to written material, we also provide virtual, hands-on sessions that allow you to view and work alongside our expert stylist. From lash mapping and styling to application and after-care, we'll show you how to do it all.

Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to submit your work for review by our stylist, as well as your peers who are also in the class with you. With just a few clicks, you can communicate directly with your fellow learners, with online communities that allow you to ask questions, seek advice, and share your experiences on a communal platform. Not only does this give you a sounding board, but it also connects you with other industry professionals who could become a valuable part of your network!

In addition, you'll also receive direct, one-on-one guidance and personalized support from your instructor. This may include praise for a job well done, as well as constructive and helpful feedback to help you fine-tune your technique.

Step 4: Receive Your Certification

When you've successfully watched each lesson, participated in the interactive activities, and taken the module quizzes, you'll be finished with our online course! Next, the only thing left to do is receive your certification.

We'll send your certificate directly to your inbox, and that's all you need to validate your new expertise in everything related to eyelash extensions! We suggest printing and framing your certification and displaying it proudly in your salon space.
