Be Your Own Boss: Benefits of Becoming a Lash Extension Technician

Do you ever dream of becoming a lash tech? It’s an amazing way to work for yourself in a fun and profitable industry. Once you have your beauty license, you simply take an online or on-site Yegi Beauty certification class, and you’re ready to start working as a certified lash tech!

We’re here to mentor and guide you every step of the way. We also carry all of the professional salon essentials you’ll need to follow your dreams and keep your clients excited to come back. Sounds pretty great, right? It gets better! Here are the benefits you’ll enjoy as a lash artist.

Flexible Scheduling

One of the most common reasons people decide on becoming a lash tech is flexibility! You’re your own boss, so you can work as little or as much as you desire. Want to take a vacation? Don’t book any appointments for that week. Late sleeper? Schedule clients for the afternoon. You control your calendar!

Unlimited Earning Potential

As a lash technician, you can earn an impressive full-time salary if you work hard. You can also do lash treatments as a side gig. Most of our students are able to cover course fees with just four clients. Once you’re certified, you possess a valuable skill that will always be in demand. Even if you just want to earn a little extra spending money, becoming a lash tech is a smart move that keeps paying for itself year after year.

Growth Opportunities

Everyone starts somewhere. Take a look at Yegi. She started doing lash treatments when they were still considered a fad. She’s certainly come a long way since then! The amazing thing about offering beauty services is that your reach naturally grows over time. Word-of-mouth recommendations spread, and your little family quickly becomes a big one. Even if you don’t actively promote yourself, you’re probably going to have people seeking you out!

Again, follow Yegi’s example. Today, she’s an educator, YouTube personality, and business owner. It all started from becoming a lash tech! As an entrepreneur, it’s important to think long-term. That’s why we offer a variety of online courses and on-site classes that teach many other valuable skills, including how to become an educator. Being a certified lash tech is just the beginning—the possibilities are truly endless!

Fun Clientele

Finally, a career that lets you be yourself! Traditional job settings can be stifling for social butterflies. As a lash technician, you get to interact with friendly folks from all walks of life. You have a unique opportunity to get to know people, and many clients will turn into life-long friends. Becoming a lash tech opens a whole new world of social connections.

The job of a lash artist is, by nature, fun! Clients are treating themselves, so they’re almost always in a great mood. They also tend to be like-minded—they’re getting beauty treatments after all, and you’re a beautician! In this industry, there’s no such thing as a boring day.

Relaxed Atmosphere

As a lash technician, every day is casual Friday! You’re the boss, so you don’t have to report to anyone. If you feel like a relaxed outfit, you do you. Of course, professionalism is important (most of the time!), but the sense of freedom you get as your own boss is simply marvelous. Becoming a lash tech empowers you to live life on your own terms. Isn’t that the dream?

Work from Home

Once your client base starts growing, you may want to invest in an actual salon. In the meantime, you can work from anywhere! You can travel to your clients’ locations or even work out of a spare room in your house. Most self-starters have to jump through a million hoops to get started. To be a lash artist, all you need is your certification, lash extensions and other beauty supplies, and a roof!

Job Security

You don’t have to worry about robots taking over your job (at least not for a long time)! Becoming a lash tech may be a fun career path, but it’s also a smart one. People will always want to look their best. Even when the economy is bad, there are still plenty of people who are willing to pay to look beautiful. After all, when you look good, you feel good, and feeling good is priceless.

Fast Training

Becoming a certified lash tech requires hard work, dedication, and perseverance, but it’s still much easier to get started compared to other careers. For many self-starters, going to school for years just isn’t practical or financially viable. In contrast, becoming a lash tech is a relatively quick and affordable process. Instead of filling out applications and hoping for the best, why not take charge of your career path?

Personal Pride

Finishing a treatment just feels good. As a lash artist, you get to enjoy a sense of pride knowing you made someone’s day better. You get to celebrate achievements and watch your skills improve. There’s a magical feeling that comes with giving clients the gift of self-confidence. When you go to bed at night, you can rest easy knowing that you made the world a better place.
