When I first stepped into teaching, I was buzzing with excitement.I’d landed a position with an established lash company that promised me the world — they said all the right things. They’d show me exactly how to teach, guide me step-by-step, and help me become the kind of lash trainer I dreamed of being.
I believed them.
The Day Everything Changed in My Lash Educator Journey
I walked into my “teacher training” day full of hope. By the end of the day, I felt deflated.
I had just spent £800 for what turned out to be coffee, casual chatting, and very little I could actually use in my lash training courses.
There were rules that didn’t sit right with me:
I couldn’t promote or use other lash brands.
I had to sign a very strict contract.
They took a large cut from every lash student I taught.
Their lash training structure had massive gaps.
The worst part? I was left winging it during my own classic and volume lash courses — and my students deserved better.
The Common Struggles New Lash Trainers Face
If you’re a lash artist thinking about how to become a lash trainer, you might imagine it’s exciting and smooth from day one.
But here’s the reality many lash educators face:
Generic, outdated lash training curriculums that don’t match your standards.
No marketing support from the lash brand you’re working with.
Restrictive teaching agreements that limit your freedom.
High costs for “train the trainer” programs that underdeliver.
And the result? You feel stuck, uninspired, and unsure how to give your lash students the best experience possible.
Why Staying True to Your Lash Craft Matters
Becoming a lash educator isn’t just about passing on application techniques for classic, hybrid, or volume lashes. It’s about sharing your way of doing things — your artistry, your attention to detail, your client care.
When you’re forced into a one-size-fits-all lash training manual, your unique voice gets lost. And that’s a loss for your students too.
How I Created My Own Lash Training Curriculum
After that disappointing experience, I made a decision: I was going to do it my way.
I started from scratch, creating a lash course curriculum for both classic lash training and volume lash training that reflected my own standards.
But I didn’t just want it to work — I wanted it to look professional, feel premium, and be a resource my students would actually keep and use.
When I couldn’t find anything that matched the vision in my head, I taught myself how to design it.
Page by page, I built a beautiful, fully structured lash training manual that covered everything a beginner lash artist needs to know — and my students loved it.
The Turning Point for My Lash Educator Career
When I began posting videos and behind-the-scenes content from my lash training classes on Instagram, my inbox exploded:
"Where did you get your lash manuals?😮"
That’s when I realised — there are so many talented lash artists who want to start their own lash academy or run private lash training courses, but don’t have the tools to make it happen.
So I decided to share my lash training manual with the world.
From My Desk to 400+ Lash Trainers Worldwide
What started as my personal lash educator resource has now grown into a fully editable, beautifully designed lash training manual template loved by over 400 lash artists and educators worldwide.
It’s more than just a manual — it’s:
A complete, well-structured lash course curriculum.
Fully customisable for your own branding and lash techniques.
A professional-looking guide that saves months of work.
Tips for Lash Artists Who Want to Start Teaching
If you’re serious about becoming a lash trainer, here’s what I’ve learned:
Stay true to your lash craft.
Invest in your lash training curriculum early.
Don’t wait for permission.
Focus on the student experience.
Start Teaching Lashes Your Way
If you’ve been dreaming about becoming a lash educator but feel overwhelmed creating your own classic lash training manual or volume lash course curriculum from scratch, this is exactly what I wish I had when I started.
Professionally designed
Covers classic lash training, volume lash training, and beyond
Easy to customise with your brand, colours, and personal expertise
Loved by 400+ lash artists and educators globally
Looking back, that disappointing “teacher training” day was one of the best things that ever happened to me. It pushed me to stop waiting for someone else to hand me the tools and to create my own.
If you’re sitting there thinking about becoming a lash educator — maybe you’re already teaching but not in the way you truly want — I want you to know this:
You don’t have to follow their rules. You don’t have to use a watered-down curriculum. You don’t have to teach the way they say you should.
Your craft, your vision, and your way of connecting with students is what will set you apart. And with the right foundation, you can build a lash training experience that your students will never forget.
I created these manuals so you can start teaching with confidence, skip the overwhelm, and pour your energy into what you do best — inspiring the next generation of lash artists.
