We will then practise isolation, and classic lash application on a mannequin head. The process of preparing the natural lashes, infills and removals will also be demonstrated and students will practise this.
In the second half of the day, there will be an in-depth focus on business and marketing skills to help you set up a successful lash business and attract your dream clients. We will go over how to set yourself up as a sole trader/limited company, taxes, identifying your niche and target audience, successful goal setting, branding, content creation, photo editing and videography, social media (Instagram/TikTok), how to read insights, engagement, followers, gaining and retaining loyal clients, setting professional boundaries, dealing with customer complaints, and other helpful customer service skills to ensure you create long-term relationships with your clients. There will also be time to create some unique social media content and short videos so you can start posting high quality content online as soon as possible!
Day 2: We will begin the day with a short quiz to test your knowledge from day 1. Gabriele will then go over anatomy and physiology of Volume lashes as well as any additional theory which needs to be revised. Gabriele will focus on customised lash styling techniques using different types of fans, curls and lengths to ensure you are able to customise lash sets to every set of eyes that walk through your door! You will also engage in a lash mapping activity to learn how to design lash sets which compliment clients’ unique features. The mapping of trending styles such as wet lashes, angel lashes, and wispy lashes will be demonstrated and practiced. There will be a demonstration of several fanning techniques such as fanning from the strip and the pinching technique. You will practise this and also learn how to make a spike to create a variety of lash styles such as wispy lashes. Additionally, you will learn secrets to speeding up lashing time as a beginner, such as crystallising fans.
In the second half of the day, you will complete a fullset of either hybrid or volume lashes on a live lash model, under Gabriele’s full supervision. You will have the option of choosing a wispy lash map to create a trending lash set! We will then assist you in taking the most amazing social media content to show off your work. There will of course be Q&A opportunities throughout the whole day, no gatekeeping around here. Upon successful completion, you will receive your certificate which will allow you to become fully qualified and insurable.
