This online eyelash extension course teaches you the classic technique: one extension applied to each natural lash for a fuller, longer look that still looks natural. It is the foundation every lash technician starts with, and the treatment most clients ask for first.
What you'll learn
- Safety, hygiene and lash health, including contraindications and when to refer a client to their GP
- The anatomy of the eye, the natural lash and the lash growth cycle
- Consultation, patch testing and record keeping
- Choosing the right length, curl and thickness for each client's natural lashes and eye shape
- Lash mapping, isolation and applying each extension safely
- Aftercare advice, infills and safe removal
There are 55 video lessons with quizzes along the way. To qualify, you complete three case studies and upload them for assessment.
Who this course is for
Complete beginners who want to become a lash technician, beauty therapists adding lashes to their menu, and anyone planning to work from home, from a salon chair or as a mobile lash tech. No experience is needed.
Why lash extensions are worth learning
Lash extensions bring clients back every two to three weeks for infills, so a small client list quickly turns into a regular income. In Ireland a full set of classic lashes typically costs €60–€100. Once you are confident with classic lashes, you can add a lash lift or Korean lash lift to give clients a lower-maintenance option.
Course and kit options
You can take the course on its own for €100, or for €250 with the full professional lash kit. Buying the kit with the course is the best value, as buying it separately later costs more once VAT and delivery are added.
Certification and insurance
The course is accredited by AIT (Associated Irish Therapists) and ABT (Associated Beauty Therapists). Once you complete the course and pass your case studies, you receive your accredited certificate and can apply for professional insurance. Requirements vary between insurers, so confirm with your chosen provider before you start treating clients.
