1. What qualifications do I need to start a beginner lash artistry course 
   Absolutely non qualifications are required to get started as a lash or brow technician. 
   
   
2. What techniques and styles will I learn in the course?
   You’ll learn the most common three application styles used by artists, globally. This includes classic application, hybrid application, promade volume application.
   
   
3. How long will it take me to complete my beginner lash artistry course!
   There are different ways you can study, each taking different amounts of time. We’re breaking it down for you:
   
   100% ONLINE COURSE
   There’s over 40 hours of learning in this course inclusive of written theory, video lessons, written activities and of course practical activities. Our online course is globally known to be easy to complete, while having the best education available.
   
   As you can complete the online course in your own time, it’s totally up to you how long it takes for you to complete. We’ve had girls become certified in a week (fully dedicated), we’ve had others become certified in a month or two. Some longer, depending on their schedules. We do however encourage you to finish it as early as possible, as this means you’ll be taking on paying clients and earning money.
   
   IN-PERSON COURSE (INCLUDING 1-ON-1 MENTORSHIP)
   While this is a full one-day course inclusive of theory and practical activities, you will need to submit 3-5 lash sets online for review by your trainer before you are certified. Most students complete this within one-three weeks. Upon completion, you will receive your certificate of completion, meaning you’re ready to walk away a confident lash tech, ready to slay the lash word and start earning those green bills - the fitties and hundreds!
   
   
4. If I do the online course, how do you know my work is good enough to pass me?
   You have practical assignments in your course, this also includes completing sets of lashes on models. You are required to submit videos and images throughout the course. Your dedicated online trainer will review and grade your work. If your trainer feels you need a little extra time, she may ask you to complete and submit another lash set.
   
   While we want our students to be certified lash artists as quickly as possible, we also want to make sure they’re applying lashes and using tools and glue appropriately. You’ll be doing it on real humans, after all.
   
   
5. What is the cost of a lash artistry course?
   Our Complete Lash Artistry course starts at $1,295, however is currently available for $995, saving you $300.
   
   It comes with a training kit with everything you need to get you through your course.
   
   There are no other direct expenses, or hidden costs or fees associated with the immediate purchase of this course.
   
   IMPORTANT TO KNOW - SAVE YOURSELF IN THE LONG RUN
   You may find online lash courses available for much cheaper, some even $150. We would like to emphasise that the quality of these courses do not meet industry standard. If you’re serious about becoming a lash artist, invest in great training from the get-go.
   
   We have A LOT of students come to us for training after paying for and completing cheaper training they found elsewhere, sometimes even after completing more expensive courses elsewhere. Invest correctly from the get-go to save you in the long run.

10. Can I work while taking the course?
    You sure can. You can do whatever you want to do. You fit this course into your life.
    
    
11. What are the common challenges faced by lash artists, and how does the course prepare me to handle them?
    While there aren’t major ‘challenges’ as such, we do have a lot of lash artists wanting to know how to get clients. That’s why we recommend that after you complete your Complete Lash Artistry course, you move right onto completing our Business Basics course, which will teach you how to get your business registered and up and running.
    
    We also suggest completing our Get Fully Booked in 30 Days course. This course will take you through a step-by-step on how to get clients, manage bookings and just be an overall marketing rockstar!
    
    
12. What is the earning potential for a lash artist?
    That depends on the work you put in. We have girls doing this as a side hustle earning between $300-$1500 per week. We then have fully fledged lash artists who are earning $2k+ per week.
    
    Read our piece ‘Is Becoming A Lash Artist Worth It?’. We breakdown your earning potential in this blog.
