Eyelash stylist - how to become an eyelash stylist?

The ever-growing beauty industry has a growing number of followers. We like to take care of ourselves, our health and we care about our appearance. We are eager to enjoy the benefits of cosmetics, professional beauty treatments, including eyelash styling. More and more people are deciding to try their hand at the profession of eyelash stylist.

Only a decade later, legendary makeup artist Max Factor was creating the first cosmetic lashes used by Philis Haver for her role in the musical "Chicago." In doing so, he started an enduring fashion for eyelash extensions used by makeup artists. Artificial eyelashes appeared in widely available drugstores. Already many decades ago women wanted to imitate their idols such as Marilyn Monroe and emphasized their look with both eyelash and eyebrow styling.

However, it is only at the beginning of the 21st century that 1:1 eyelash styling and eyelash stylists are created.

How to become an eyelash stylist?

The adventure with eyelash styling should begin with professional training and courses. The first stage is a training course on the 1:1 method, where you will learn the basic theoretical issues, find out what the procedure is about, what products to use and perform your first application on a model under the watchful eye of an instructor.

It can be said that this is the most important training, because it is here that you will gain knowledge and skills in eyelash styling, thanks to which you will be able to start performing treatments.

In the field of eyelash styling, skill, experience and precision count, so beginners after completing the course are encouraged to perform training applications on models.

Once you become proficient with tweezers, it will be time to learn new methods of eyelash extensions.

The next stage is volume styling, the so-called light volume lashes. You will gain new skills on it, which are the creation of a clump, a slightly different work with glue and more advanced work on lashes.

The last fundamental training is the second level of volume. This is a training for those who have already practically mastered the techniques learned during the first level of volume. How long you can take it after depends on your skills and the work you put into practice.

Before signing up, it's a good idea to send some of your work to the instructor. This will let you know what you can still work on. Constant contact with your trainer is a good way to motivate yourself for continuous development.

At Rarity Academy, you can take all these trainings by choosing one of 25 instructors from all over Poland.

We also offer training for advanced people which are workshops such as

  • perfect tuck
  • pace of work
  • alternative modeling

After each training you will receive a certificate confirming your participation in the training. You will receive the certificate in Polish with a unique hologram confirming authenticity and in English.
