Trends in eyelash styling are changing with the introduction of new cosmetic products and emerging fashion trends. As an eyelash stylist, you should make sure to keep your knowledge up to date and expand your skills. Even if you have years of experience, you can periodically participate in training and retraining that will help you maintain the services you provide at a master level. See how to prepare for training to get the most useful knowledge and skills out of it.

Beginning in eyelash styling, or where to start?

Each of us at some point started her adventure in eyelash styling. Books, e-books and internships in other salons are a good way to gain knowledge and first skills in this profession.

If you want to get started as an eyelash stylist, you need to find a real teacher-mentor to help you explore the secrets of attaching false eyelashes. Treat all kinds of online extracurriculars and tutorials on the Internet as a supplement to your existing knowledge.

So, start by finding your mentor, then attend onsite training sessions, and finally start offering your services, such as free training. This way you will build your first portfolio and show that you can create perfect styles.

Eyelash styling training and extensions - how to choose the best curriculum?

You need to know that the first training courses in eyelash styling should be held in a stationary mode - just under the guidance of a good teacher. These last on average from 8 to 14 hours. So much is enough to possess elementary knowledge and, in time, start creating masterful eyelash styling on your own.

When searching for an instructor to help you start your career as an eyelash stylist, consider several factors:

• reviews about the person online,

• the personality of the teacher,

• the mentor's approach to training newcomers.

You can also start by observing stylists who work in your area. Look through their work, social media, and even try to make an appointment for eyelash styling. In one visit, you can inquire about an offer for eyelash styling training. If the proposal meets your expectations - make an appointment for a one- or two-day instruction and start your career.

Before starting your education, it's a good idea to analyze the curriculum. The training should consist of a theoretical and practical part. After full substantive preparation, you should also take the first eyelash styling with the 1:1 method. This is where every good stylist starts. A good training course should include:

• a training script and a whole translation of the content,

• information on how to complete the starter package,

• a nice surprise will be a small gift for the trainees,

• a multimedia presentation.

Never choose courses that last even a few dozen hours. This way you will probably only get discouraged, and the education will simply be ineffective. It is better to bet on a training course consisting of up to 14 hours, for example, spread over two training days. This way you will gain fundamental knowledge that will allow you to work on your own later.

Preparation for training - what should you do?

Every experienced as well as novice eyelash stylist should first of all take care of a positive attitude. The better your mood and motivation right after you start training, the better the learning results will be. If you have made the decision that you want to work as an eyelash stylist - always remember that this work is incredibly fun and should be a pleasure for you.

When going for your first training or training in eyelash styling: follow all the instructor's instructions, do not give up too quickly and make sure you have the right dose of motivation to take action. Determination will help you fight against all odds.

Training for eyelash stylists - useful even for professionals.

Remember that participation in training and retraining should not end with two days. Your first course is just the foundation for you to start your career. You still have many years of practice and continuous retraining ahead of you. Only in this way will you reach a master level and be able to 100% satisfy all your clients.

Before you start the work that will bring you your first income, you should do about 10-15 trial (free) hairstyles. This way you will work out your working methods, reduce styling time and get your first clients, such as those who were satisfied with the trial service.
