All of our In-class Training classes are divided into two portions. The first portion of the class is called the “Theory” portion where our trainer will cover all aspects of lash application techniques, various styles, product options, client consultation, medical consultation, eye anatomy, and marketing and walk you step by step through the real-world client experience. Each student is provided with a detailed training manual that will walk them through the theory portion of the class and allow them to take notes and perform several practice assignments. Each student keeps their training manual and is encouraged to reference this guide as they continue to practice after completing the class.

The second portion of the class is the “Hands-on” portion. In this portion, each student will be required to bring a model (look in the “Do I need to bring a model” section of the FAQ) who will be with you for the second part of the day. During the hands-on portion, all students will be provided with a supply kit to use in class that will include everything needed to start working on your model’s eyelashes. Our trainer will help each student with one-on-one attention and consult each individually throughout the entire process.

Our Online Training information can be found here.

We understand that sometimes coming up with a full payment upfront might be challenging for most of us. For those reasons, we have implemented several convenient options for our students.

ZIP (formerly QuadPay) is a convenient payment plan that allows you to split nearly any purchase into 4 installments over 6 weeks*

PayPal Pay-in-4 is another convenient option for students unable to qualify for ZIP Finance! PayPal has recently introduced its pay-in-4 option that, just like ZIP, is interest-free and allows their customers to finance their purchases over 6 weeks. PayPal also offers a 6-month credit option.

Another option Pearl Lash offers is our in-house deposit option (not available for Online Training). Each student may register with just a $200 deposit to secure a seat to any of our classroom training events. The balance of the class will not be due until 7 days before your particular training date.

Unfortunately, at this time we do not offer any scholarships or training assistance. If something changes in the future we will surely let everyone know about it.

* For example, for a $335 purchase, you’d make four $85.25 payments every two weeks starting today, with a 31.11% annual percentage rate and a total of payments of $341. A $6 installment fee is charged at commencement – $1.50 of this fee is prepaid with your initial payment today, and the remaining $4.50 is included in future payments. Installment fees vary from $0 to $7.50 depending on the purchase price and the Zip product used. The exact fee will be displayed at checkout. Estimated installment payments and APR exclude potential tax and shipping costs. Zip Pay Anywhere and Zip Checkout financing through Zip are issued by WebBank. All loans are subject to credit approval.

Please be advised that every state has its unique regulations. In the state of Florida (Pearl Lash Headquarters), you are not required to have a special eyelash extensions license however the Board of Cosmetology does require a Lash Artist to have one of the following state licenses: Facialist (Esthetician), Cosmetologist, Full Specialist or a Medical License (including RN). For a detailed list of state regulations please follow this link.

After receiving the Pearl Lash Certificate of Completion you will be required to obtain one of the state-regulated licenses stated above before you can work professionally in the state of Florida. Pearl Lash Certificate of Completion does not permit performing eyelash extensions professionally until one of the above-stated licenses is obtained. According to the Florida Department of Professional Regulations, a person can obtain a Facialist (Esthetician) license without a GED as long as they have reached the age of 16 years old. For additional information please read our “How To Become An Eyelash Artist” or “Esthetician License Through a Trade School” article.

As of 2023, the following states do not require any additional licensing to perform eyelash extension services: Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Indiana, Maryland, Missouri, and Wisconsin. If you reside in one of the 7 states listed above, upon completing your Certification Training with Pearl Lash, you are ready to work professionally. Regulations for all other states can be found here.

Each state has its own regulations when it comes to practicing Eyelash Extensions for hire. Please visit our state by state guide by following this link for more information.

The state of Wisconsin does not impose additional licensing or prerequisites for Eyelash Extension Artists. Upon finishing any Pearl Lash training course, students can begin their professional careers. This includes the option to work from home, a salon suite, or a lash studio.

All Pearl Lash Training classes include a complete Starter Kit and a practice mannequin. Depending on the training level you register for, you will be provided with an appropriate Starter Kit to take home.

One of the key features that Pearl Lash offers is Free Refresher Training. When we say free, we truly mean free.

Every graduating student has an option to retake the class they already completed. There is no limit to how many times this option can be exercised.

To register for the Free refresher, a student must email our customer support team ([email protected]) preferably 4 – 6 weeks in advance of an upcoming class (you may monitor the class schedule online and find a most convenient venue) with their request. Our team will review your request and respond within hours to confirm the spot. Please note that even though we try to accommodate every single request, refresher seats are limited to 2 for each event and are filled on a first-come first-serve basis. To be sure and get a spot in the specific venue and date of your choosing, please reserve the spot as far in advance as possible.

If a spot at your desired location and time will not be available, our team member will provide you with several alternative dates for your choosing.

You are strongly encouraged to bring a model with you to the hands-on portion of the training.

Please note that models will not be allowed to sit in during the theory portion of the class.

If you are unable to bring a model please let us know in advance and we will help you find one.

If you are interested in being a model for one of Pearl Lash training events, please visit our Models page to sign up for the waitlist. We do not recommend using a mannequin head during the training, we prefer each student to receive an actual true-life experience during the class. Performing an eyelash extension set on a mannequin has a significantly different feel than working on a real person.

As fun as it would be to practice on each other, it would not be possible. Our hands-on portion of the class is conducted as a group which means all students will be working on their models simultaneously throughout the second part of the class.  Students will not have an opportunity to swap places during the class.

The main difference between Online and Classroom training is the live model hands-on experience. 

The theory portion of the training curriculum for our Classic Online and Classroom training is identical. The Certification level upon completing either course is identical. 

The hands-on portion of the Online class would consist of a series of detailed step by step presentations including full setup, gel patch application, isolation, application, and removal process. Our Master Trainer will provide ample time for each student to clarify any details before proceeding to the next presentation. Upon completion of the Online training, our students begin practicing to replicate each of the steps they learned on their own time while having a direct phone line access to our Master Trainer for follow-up questions and to review photos of their work.

In-classroom hands-on portion, a student receives 4 hours of live hands-on model training under the supervision of the Master Trainer.

The Lifetime Membership a student receives upon completing their training is identical for both Online and Classroom training.
