In today’s modern world it’s quite difficult to find a lash artist, who doesn’t aim to develop her/his skills and to get new knowledge. A true professional should always keep up with current trends and explore new techniques to stay competitive among others. The online platforms are overfilled with various courses/lectures/master-classes/tutorials… Btw, the certificates of such online educational programs are valued equally as the ones people get after traditional offline courses.
What are the advantages of online education for lash artists?
Online training is a convenient way for lash stylists to increase the level of mastery without extra cost! First of all, we should mention the mobility and the absence of a strict timetable. You can forget about the necessity to spend hours on the way to lash academy and to cancel your appointments just to visit a lecture. When studying online, you can choose any time and place that suits you best to watch a video lesson. A comfy bed seems much more pleasant than a classroom, doesn’t it?
Moreover, one of the main advantages of online education is the opportunity to see the teacher and her/his work closely compared to traditional offline lectures where you most likely won’t be able to always sit right in front of the teacher. A good online course (let's talk about the professional courses, not free streams by unknown girls on Instagram) offers you HD videos with detailed descriptions of master’s movements. And if you don’t catch all the information on the first try, you can always rewind the video back!
Furthermore, decent courses provide a constant connection between students and teachers that enables students to ask any exciting question without sounding a little sappy and also gives teachers the possibility to pay enough attention to every student.
How to choose the course?
If you search in Google “online course of lash extension”, you will drown in the variety of offers… How to choose the right one? The first thing that you should pay attention to is the reputation of the authors. Try to find all the information about the lash academy that offers the course: how long it exists, its strong and weak sides, how many students they have already educated, and the feedback from those students (if the lash academy or a lash trainer doesn’t show the feedback, it should lead to suspicion). You should also pay extra attention to the program of the course. It ideally contains theoretical and practical parts, corrections of mistakes, lots of video materials, and also a convenient connection between students and teachers. In the end, you can make a list of the best online courses and choose the most suitable for you!
