Who Is This 1:1 Training For?

This intensive training is not for beginners to the beauty industry. It is specifically designed for established professionals looking to add a high-value, low-maintenance specialty to their service menu.

Ideal candidates include:

• Licensed Lash Technicians: Artists experienced with traditional lash extensions who want to offer a healthier, glueless alternative and reduce client allergy concerns.
• Estheticians and Cosmetologists: Skin and beauty professionals seeking to expand their service offerings with a popular, results-driven treatment that complements existing services like facials or brow work.
• Salon & Studio Owners: Business owners in Orange County or Los Angeles aiming to differentiate their space with an exclusive, Korean-derived technique not widely available.
• Career-Changers with a Beauty License: Those with a valid license who are passionate about entering the lash industry with a focus on safety and innovative methods from the start.

If you are not yet licensed, I recommend first pursuing your state-required esthetics or cosmetology certification. This training builds upon that foundational knowledge.

The Complete Training Curriculum: Theory, Hands-On, Business

The 8-hour training day is divided into three comprehensive modules, ensuring you leave with both technical skill and business confidence. To help you visualize the day and reduce any anxiety, here is a typical schedule:

Typical Day Schedule

• 9:00 AM: Arrival, studio tour, and overview.
• 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM: Module 1: Foundation & Theory.
• 11:30 AM - 4:30 PM: Module 2: Practical Application & Live Model Work (includes a short lunch break).
• 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM: Module 3: Business Launch & Support.
• 5:30 PM: Q&A, certificate presentation, and next steps.

Module 1: Foundation & Theory (2 Hours)

We begin in the classroom, not at the bed. This module ensures you understand the why behind every step.

• Science of the Glueless Lift: Deep dive into the chemistry of perming solutions and the critical role of the keratin booster for lash strength and shine. We contrast this with traditional adhesive-based methods.
• Eye Anatomy & Safety: Mapping the lash line, identifying contraindications, and mastering client consultation protocols to ensure safety and set realistic expectations. We cover specific client objections, like fear of lash damage or skepticism about a "glueless" method, and the precise language to overcome them.
• Product Knowledge: An unbiased breakdown of tools, pads, rods (from small to large), and the solutions we use at Lashkin. You’ll learn how to select quality suppliers.

Module 2: Practical Application & Live Model Work (5 Hours)

This is the core of the training, conducted one-on-one with my direct supervision. Day-of logistics are fully handled; I provide all equipment, solutions, and two live models with different lash types to ensure diverse practice.

• My Hands-On Demonstration: I first perform a full Korean glueless lash lift service on a live model, talking through each decision in real-time.
• Your Hands-On Practice: You then perform the complete service on two different live models I provide. This is crucial for experiencing varied lash types and eye shapes.
• PermPoint Mastery: You will learn the integrated PermPoint technique, how to add LED-bonded point extensions on top of a lift to add length, density, or reshape the lash silhouette. This addresses the three main reasons clients choose PermPoint over a lift alone.
• Troubleshooting Live: We address common challenges like under-processing, over-processing, and rod placement for hooded or monolids as they happen.

Module 3: Business Launch & Support (1 Hour)

Your skill is an investment; this module helps you earn a return. We discuss the Southern California market in detail, where demand for low-maintenance, high-impact beauty services is surging, particularly among professionals and clients seeking "cleaner" alternatives.

• Pricing Strategy: How to price your glueless lift and PermPoint services competitively in the Southern California market, from Orange County to Los Angeles.
• Client Acquisition & Marketing: My playbook for attracting your ideal first clients, from social media storytelling to collaborating with local businesses.
• Post-Training Support: You don’t walk out alone. Graduates receive access to a private resource guide and can email me with follow-up questions.

Training Investment & Outcomes: What You Really Gain

The value of this training extends far beyond the day itself. As of June 2026, the investment for the full-day, private 1:1 training is comprehensive. Here is exactly what's included in your certification package:

Consider the tangible outcomes you achieve:

A graduate recently told me, "The biggest shift was learning to see the lash lift as a customized design, not just a perm. The consultation you taught me is now my most powerful tool for client satisfaction." This mindset is what creates repeat clients.

Let me share a few specific success stories from our graduates:

• Mia, an esthetician in Irvine, added the glueless lift and saw her average ticket price increase by 40%. Within three months, she had acquired 15 regular lash clients, directly attributing it to the "glueless" marketing angle we developed.
• Alex, a lash tech in Long Beach, integrated PermPoint. She reported that clients choosing this combo service increased her revenue per appointment by $120 on average, allowing her to book fewer clients for greater income.
• A salon owner in Costa Mesa sent her lead technician for training. They launched the service and filled their dedicated lash lift slots within two weeks, attracting a new client demographic interested in safer, innovative treatments.

How This Training Differs From Generic Courses

Most lash lift trainings teach a generic Western technique, often in a group setting. My 1:1 program is built on a specific, in-demand niche.

• Glueless Focus: The entire lift process is mastered without adhesive on the natural lash, which is our core differentiator for sensitive eyes.
• Korean Technique Nuances: From rod selection to solution timing, the methods I teach are refined for the aesthetic preferences and lash types of our diverse OC and LA clientele.
• Integrated PermPoint: You learn the combined lift-and-extension service as one fluid protocol, not as two separate skills. This is a premium offering few artists in the area can perform.
• Localized Business Insight: My marketing and pricing advice is specific to the competitive Southern California beauty scene, from Buena Park to Los Angeles, where clients are highly educated and seek both quality and innovation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What license is required?

You must hold a current, active esthetician or cosmetology license in your state. This is a non-negotiable requirement for both insurance and professional practice.

How long does certification last?

Your certificate of completion from Lashkin Studio does not expire. The techniques and business principles are foundational. However, as the industry evolves, we may offer advanced modules in the future.

Do I need to purchase my own equipment?

No. All tools, solutions, and live models are provided for your training day. You will receive a curated supplier list to purchase your own professional kit for launching your business afterward.

What is the typical ROI timeframe?

This depends on your existing client base and marketing efforts. Most graduates who actively promote their new service report covering their training investment within 5 to 10 appointments, given the service price point of $150 - $300+.
