How to start a lash business
Hey Hun! Starting your own lash business can be super exciting and rewarding. You're able to become self employed and work your own hours or you could look for a job in a salon employed! There are so many positives to becoming a lash artist but when you have no idea how to get started it can become very confusing! So here are a few steps to help you get started:
1. Get trained: Look for a reputable lash extension course which is for beginners! This course can either be online or in person! This course needs to be accredited. An accredited lash course means the course has been checked and signed off by an insurance company, insuring you that you will be able to gain insurance for your lash business once you complete the course! You need to take a lash course so you learn the proper techniques and safety protocols. Including what products you need to use fo the treatment!

6. Market yourself: Spread the word about your lash business through social media, word of mouth, and local advertising. Show off your work with before and after photos to attract potential clients. This is so important to get your name out there! You need to be constantly taking photos of the lash sets you create and posting them daily! Wether this is done on a model or on a doll head!
7. Offer exceptional customer service: Provide a friendly and professional experience for your clients. Listen to their preferences and ensure their comfort throughout the lash application process. Never talk about something your client tells you with someone else! What's said in the lash room, stays in the lash room!
