A Letter from Rachel:
Hello Lash Students!
I am so excited and greatly honored to be able to share my knowledge that I’ve accumulated over the years. Eyelash extensions were new to the beauty industry when I first started my career in 2010; The industry had very little options in education or quality products compared to today. I endured many hardships while training under the most extreme circumstances. With my early struggles, I hope to educate you clearly on the proper eyelash extension application techniques so you have a full understanding that sets you apart from others in the field.
We want to help you succeed. Including helping you build your portfolio and resume. It may seem trivial but it will become helpful when wanting to explain your craft in detail. The market is flooded with bad advice and uneducated professionals teaching bad habits and charging high prices to do so. I would love to make your life easier by covering a great deal of topics and techniques in the world of eyelashes. These topics aren’t usually covered in a class setting but now they are!
You will thank yourself for this much needed info to help you better understand the skills needed for success in the trade.
Warmest Regards,
R. R
