How to choose a lash academy in Australia

When it comes to choosing a lash extensions academy, it’s important to do your research to ensure that you’re making the best investment for your future career. With so many options available, it can be difficult to know which academy to choose. Here are some of the things to look for when when choosing the right academy:

Comprehensive Training: Does the academy provides a comprehensive training program that covers all aspects of lash extensions? Do they just teach you how to apply lash extensions, but also cover topics such as sanitation and safety, client consultation, and business management. Do they provide students with a well-rounded education that will prepare them for real-world situations?

Experienced trainer: Our trainer-Regina is the top expert in the lash industry with years of experience not just in lash extensions but also in how to run a successfully business. Best of all, she was a teacher before she got into the beauty industry! So rest assure she will be able to articulate and pass on the knowledge in a very comprehensive manner. Some trainers can be knowledgeable however they lack in professional teaching experience to really impart the skill to their students well. It is so important to have trainers who are passionate about the industry and dedicated to helping our students succeed.

Neglected Subjects: Many academies simply teach you how to apply but neglected a lot of potential issues that WILL occur when you are doing clients and this results in poor client retention and clients won’t come back. Make sure to ask for a comprehensive module checklist of what will be covered during your training and compare between each academy.Our academy offers training on subjects that are often neglected by other lash extension academies such as how to do a detailed infill/cleansing, troubleshoots on why extensions is falling out quickly (trust us, the reasons can be many and we will go through these one by one with you which other academies will not even touch on). We provide training on sanitation and safety practices, as well as business management, so that our students have a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to run a successful lash business.

Personalized Training: Our lash extensions course is not just about getting you in and out as quickly as possible. We offer a longer duration course that is very personal, allowing for heaps of hands-on experience and individualized attention. Our focus is on ensuring that our students feel confident and prepared before they graduate.

Affordable Pricing?: That’s basically a red flag if you see short courses that’s only few hours long or even 1-2 days (sadly there are way too many of these courses on the market and that is why eyelash extensions has such a bad reputation on being damaging-because there are so many so-called lash trainers giving out certificates to ‘lash technicians’ as long as the fees is paid and not qualified enough to perform the treatments!)

Lash extensions may look simple however there is so much details and chemistry that you need to learn going into this business. Trying to save and cut short on your education will only led to you spending even more money in the future to make up for knowledge that was supposed to be taught to you in the beginning. While our course may not be as affordable as some of the shorter courses out there, we believe that the investment is worth it. Our longer duration course allows for more hands-on experience and personalized training, which will pay off in the long run.

Class size: Class size is another important factor to consider when it comes to how much attention you will be getting from your trainer. Many academies hold huge classes of 10-20 students so as to get as much profit as possible. This, in our opinion is very unethical and ideally, trainer to student ratio should be kept at 1:3 for students with no prior experience with eyelash extensions in order to maximise learning experience. The application of eyelash extensions is extremely technical and every single step should be monitored and corrected closely and immediately to encourage proper application habit + correct muscle memory.

Honest and Transparent: We believe in being honest and transparent with our students. We don’t withhold any skills or information and strive to provide our students with everything they need to run a successful lash business.

In order to start a successful lash business, you’ll need to receive a comprehensive education that covers all aspects of the lash industry. If you happen to be in Sydney, our experienced trainer will guide you every step of the way and provide you with personalized training as well as much needed business advice. We believe that investing in a quality education is worth it, and we are committed to providing our students with the best training possible so we can better the industry.
