There has never been a better time to enter the business of beautiful eyes, which includes brow and lash services. Lash enhancement services have enjoyed an ongoing demand for many years, as has brow waxing. These two services will always enjoy a timeless, sustained clientele. However, the advent and exploding focus on perfect brows is taking the world by force.
Celebrities and social media have made impeccable brows a non-negotiable and basic beauty essential. Improved lash extension technology and interest in alternative enhancements have also contributed to the demand for services that are all about eyes. As if the top half of our face wasn’t taking enough of the spotlight, the current pandemic has further put eyes on the centre stage as the only visible part of our faces when wearing masks.
Where should I start with creating my All About Eyes beauty business?
Many people don’t realize that you can become a lash and brow specialist without any prerequisites! In fact, this is a popular career pivot, the starting point for a side business, or an opportunity for parents re-entering the workforce.
A full Brow Artist Program requires two days of in-class training while an entire Lash Technician Program requires five days. However, we have found that not all beauty professionals want to start with the full programs. This may be because of time constraints or because they want to start a little smaller with specializing in a specific technique. If finances are a concern, you should know that we offer financing options to make sure this doesn’t stand between you and your goals! A trademark of our courses is that you get to practise on live models to ensure you can confidently start offering these services immediately.
Similarly, the Lash Technician Program covers the most commonly requested lash services:
CAN I START SMALLER?
Yes! In fact, many of our students have started their home business or salon career by specializing in just some of the above services. When it comes to lashes, a great place to start is by taking the Classic Lash Extensions course which includes two days of in-class training. As for brows, learning how to map, sculpt and wax includes one day of training with the Brow Sculpting & Waxing course. With this one lash course and one brow course, you are on your way! As a result, you can be ready to open your business for both lashes and brows within a few days of training.
LASHES
Lash Technicians currently and typically charge between $45-$240 per appointment, depending on the type of service and their experience. We have calculated earning potential based on an average cost of $45 for a bi-weekly lash fill maintenance service and an average of $100 for a new set.
BROWS
At the starting end of your Brow Artist career, services range from $22-$85, with an average of $55 per appointment. This does not include micropigmentation, which is the ultimate brow revenue generator, but we’ll expand more on that!
WHAT IF I START SMALLER?
If you begin with only one area of brow and lash expertise (by taking one course in each), you will have a smaller expected client base size, as you would only be offering basic services. However, even if you simply offer Classic Lash Extensions and Brow Waxing, you will be well on your way. As time goes by, you will be energized by your growing expertise and return to take more brow and lash courses which will grow your client base and boost your earning potential.
