Classic Lash Extensions Certification Course

Lash Extensions Course FAQs

Do I need prior lash experience

No prior experience is necessary. The course teaches theory and hands-on application from the ground up, and is also suited to practicing lash artists who want formal certification and refined technique.

Do I need to be a licensed esthetician or cosmetologist to take this course?

In the state of Colorado you need to be a licensed esthetician or cosmetologist to perform lash extension services. But you are able to take lash extension courses as a student esthetician or student cosmetologist. You can only practice lashes on the public if you are licensed. 

What will I practice on during the in-person days?

The first in-person day includes glue dipping practice on sponges, isolation practice on mannequin heads, and a full set application on a mannequin head. The second in-person day includes a full set on a live model. (You will provide your own model.)

Will I receive a certification upon completion?

Yes. Upon successfully completing all course dates within the same session, students receive a state-approved Classic Lash Extension Certification.

Is this course state-approved?

Yes. The course is approved through the Division of Private Occupational Schools through the Colorado Department of Higher Education.

I’m a current SBMA student. Can I take this course?

I’m a current student at another school. Can I take this course?

Does this certificate allow me to practice in other states?
