Why MOST Lash Artists Never Become Educators

Let me be real with you for a second — because you know me, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it.
If you’ve been dreaming about becoming a lash educator, launching a lash academy, or finally teaching your own courses… then you already know this truth deep down:
You should’ve started by now.
And I’m not saying this to make you feel bad — I’m saying it because I’ve watched too many insanely talented lash artists waste years waiting for the “perfect moment” that never comes.
So let’s talk about the real reasons you’re stuck.Not the excuses you tell people… but the ones you whisper to yourself.
1. You’re overwhelmed — not because you’re not capable, but because you’re doing it the hardest way possible.
You keep saying you “don’t know where to start,” but listen…Of course you don’t know where to start.
You’re trying to build an entire academy from scratch.
a curriculum
a lash manual
presentations
exams
lesson plan
student forms & templates
aftercare sheets
a professional website
All of it… by yourself… while still lashing clients all day.
And then you wonder why you feel stuck.
Of course you feel stuck. Anyone would.
Overwhelm isn’t a sign you’re “not ready.”It’s a sign you’re drowning in tasks you shouldn’t even be doing alone.
You don't need to “be better.”You need a shortcut. A system. A foundation to stand on so you can actually teach instead of constantly building.
👉 This is why our Classic, Volume, Retention Manuals, and the Ultimate Educators Bundle exist — to eliminate overwhelm entirely.
2. You’re not lacking skill — you’re lacking structure.
You KNOW how to lash.You’ve spent YEARS mastering your craft.
But teaching? Teaching is a whole different world.
You keep telling yourself,
“I’ll start once I finish my manual.”
“I’ll teach once everything looks professional.”
But let me ask you this:
When has “I’ll do it later” ever turned into “I actually did it”?
You’re not stuck because you don’t know enough.You’re stuck because you’re trying to teach with a blank Google Doc and vibes.
And that’s why you don’t feel confident.
Not because you’re a bad artist. But because you don’t have the tools that make you feel like an actual educator.
When you open a real manual — structured, visual, clean — something shifts.You finally feel like, “Okay… I can do this.”
That confidence is what gets your first student in the door.
3. You’re hiding behind perfectionism — and you know it.
“I’ll start next month.”“I just need to fix this one thing.”“I’ll do it when the timing is right.”
Girl… we both know that’s bullshit.
That’s fear. Fear of being seen. Fear of failing. Fear of someone asking you a question you don’t know. Fear of charging money. Fear of stepping into a bigger version of yourself.
You’re not waiting for the perfect moment —you’re avoiding the uncomfortable one.
And I say this with love: perfectionism is just procrastination wearing makeup.
You don’t need perfect. You need something solid to stand on. Something good. Something clear. And then you BUILD from there.
You grow as you teach. You refine. You improve. You evolve.
That’s how every real educator starts.
So let me tell you what you actually need — and why you can’t afford to wait anymore:
You don’t need another year of “planning.”You don’t need more notes, more ideas, or more reasons why “now isn’t the right time.”
You need the actual tools so you can finally stop preparing… and start promoting your course and pre-booking your students with confidence.
Because let’s be honest —I’m sure you’ve already had people ask you:
“OMG i love your work! Do you teach?”
“Do you offer training?”
“Are you doing any classes soon?”
🤨 And what did you say?
“No, not yet.”
“Maybe later.”
“I’m not ready.”
Not because you couldn’t teach. But because you didn’t have the materials, the manual, the structure —and without that, you didn’t feel confident charging money.
That hesitation?T hat “not yet”? That “maybe next time”?
That is money left on the table.And those students are most likely gone — booked somewhere else.
This is why you need the tools NOW.
So the next time someone shows interest, you don’t shrink. You don’t postpone. You don’t lose the opportunity.
You say:“YES — I teach. Here’s my course. Here’s what’s included. Here are the dates.”
That’s what the tools give you: readiness, credibility, structure, and the ability to finally step into the educator role instead of watching others take the students who should have been yours.
Whether it’s the Classic Manual, Volume Manual, Retention Manual, Website Template, or the full Ultimate Educators Bundle —these tools exist so you can stop waiting and finally start earning.
Here’s the part you might not want to hear… but need to hear:
🫵🏼Nothing changes until YOU do.
You will keep waiting…and waiting…and waiting…until one day you look up and realise another year went by and you’re still saying the same sentence:
“I want to become a lash educator someday.”
But “someday” isn’t a date. And “ready” isn’t a feeling that magically appears.
You create ready by taking action.
You create confidence by having real tools in your hands. You create your educator career by deciding you’re done sitting in the same place.
And honestly?
You deserve to be teaching already. You deserve to have students & make money. You deserve to build something bigger than being behind a lash bed all day.
So start. Pick one tool. Give yourself the foundation you’ve been missing.
This could be the moment everything shifts —but only if you take the first step.
Whenever you’re ready,I’ve built everything you need.
