Is Being a Lash Tech Worth It?

A common question for many interested in learning how to lash is “Will I make a lot of money?” The short answer is “It depends.” With the right training, technique, branding, and outlook, becoming a lash artist can be a very lucrative and fulfilling career.

Training and Technique

Look around and you will find lash technician training classes everywhere for varying prices. Buyer beware! Not all training or techniques are created equal. There are certain questions you need to ask yourself and the instructor:

Is the training method damage free?

What certification and experience does the instructor(s) have?

What all do I receive with the price of the classes?

Do you research. Look for reviews on social media and the instructors’ website. If you are not a fan of their work, do not become their student.

Branding

The lash technician market is STEEP with competition, but what market isn’t? Once you have received proper training and developed quality skills, you need to ensure you are properly promoting yourself. Figure out your target market and how to speak to them. Seek out a brand manager if need be. The key is to determine what makes you different and get that message out there.

Outlook

Personality is everything in this industry. Maintain a positive outlook and make sure your personality is present in everything you do, from how you promote yourself to the decor of your suite to the entire client experience. Things are going to start off slow, but everything does. With the proper outlook, things will take off for you in no time.
