WHY GEM LASH ACADEMY?

 

 

 

 

     Gem Lash will set you apart as an artist. Our student success rate and our curriculum shows that. Our beginner courses are 2 days long with day 1 lasting 8 hours and day 2 lasting 6 hours. This is a total of 14 hours of training. Our courses are a balance between hands on and theory. GemLash students are given and taught the foundation of classic eyelash extensions in this 2 day course. Our courses are very intimate regardless if its a private training or a group class, and each students concerns are handled patiently. 
 

        I believe what makes me a great educator and sets GemLash apart are the mistakes I made in the beginning as a lash tech. I took these mistakes and researched them, resolved them, and applied them to be able to offer the quality that I do now to my clients, customers, and students.

​

        Many of our students are able to charge $100+ for their work within a year (or less) of training with Gem Lash. This is because they are taught QUALITY above all, and customers are going to pay for quality. 

​

        We do not train volume and classic eyelash extensions in these 2 day courses and we NEVER will. Classic lashing is difficult for someone whose never picked up a pair of eyelash extension tweezers before. This is why we do not believe in overloading our students with information and techniques that will overwhelm them and that they will not retain after class. Classic eyelash extensions are the foundation of this industry and in order to be successful students must master them first.

CLASS SCHEDULE

​

       

        On Day 1 students hear a bit about GemLash and how Gem started in the industry. We elaborate on whats above and work on our mannequin heads for 5 hours. Students will apply and remove eyelash extensions, and are given a short written certification exam. LUNCH IS ALSO PROVIDED on day 1. On day 2 students take everything that they learned from day 1 and apply it to their LIVE MODELS for 5-6 hours. At the end they are given a class survey to let us know how we can improve our training.  On both days I am always near giving my undivided attention to each student to be sure that EACH eyelash extension is placed PERFECTLY. 

​

 

Gem Lash Training is designed to help our students create a strong foundation in the industry that way they can be successful.

REFRESHER COURSE FOR STUDENTS NOT GEMLASH CERTIFIED

        This is a refresher course geared towards those who have been trained but haven’t lashed since class, haven’t begun taking clients, or feel like there’s some sort of error in what they are doing. Keep in mind that this is a refresher over classic eyelash extensions ONLY. This course is very hands on and is not recommended if you were certified 3 or more years ago and haven’t been actively lashing. If this description fits you, I recommend taking a beginners course.
