Classic Eyelash Extensions Course

Lesson 1 • Industry Standards and Scope of Practice

Defines professional boundaries, licensing requirements, and ethical conduct. Anchors all subsequent technical training within a compliant practice framework.

Lesson 2 • Lash Growth Cycle and Shedding

Explains anagen, catagen, and telogen phases and their impact on retention. Students predict shedding patterns to set accurate client expectations.

Lesson 3 • Eye and Lash Anatomy Essentials

Covers orbital anatomy, follicle structure, and natural lash characteristics. Provides the biological foundation required for safe extension placement.

Lesson 4 • Contraindications and Client Screening

Identifies medical, allergic, and lifestyle contraindications that prevent safe service. Students conduct intake assessments to protect client and technician.

Lesson 1 • Tweezers, Trays, and Application Tools

Identifies isolation and application tweezers, lash trays, and ancillary tools. Proper tool selection directly affects isolation precision and application speed.

Lesson 2 • Under-Eye Pads and Tape Techniques

Covers gel pad and tape selection, placement, and removal to protect lower lashes. Correct pad placement prevents sticking and client discomfort throughout service.

Lesson 3 • Extension Fiber Types and Specifications

Compares synthetic, silk, and mink-style fibers by weight, sheen, and taper. Students match fiber type to client lifestyle and natural lash health.

Lesson 4 • Adhesive Chemistry and Performance

Explains cyanoacrylate chemistry, cure mechanisms, and environmental variables. Students troubleshoot adhesive performance before applying it to clients.

Lesson 1 • Adhesive Troubleshooting and Correction

Diagnoses poor retention, stickies, and blooming caused by adhesive misuse. Students apply corrective techniques without compromising natural lash health.

Lesson 2 • Environmental Control for Adhesive Performance

Teaches humidity and temperature monitoring and adjustment strategies in the workspace. Students maintain optimal conditions to ensure predictable adhesive behavior.

Lesson 3 • Placement Timing and Cure Windows

Explains open time, placement window, and polymerization stages for common adhesives. Students time placements to maximize bond integrity before full cure.

Lesson 4 • Adhesive Preparation and Dispensing

Covers shaking, nozzle priming, and drop dispensing onto jade stone or ring. Correct preparation prevents inconsistent viscosity and premature curing.

Lesson 1 • Single-Lash Isolation Mechanics

Practices the push-and-hold isolation motion that separates one natural lash cleanly. Consistent isolation is the primary factor preventing stickies and client discomfort.

Lesson 2 • Identifying and Selecting Natural Lashes

Trains the eye to distinguish mature anagen lashes from baby and telogen lashes. Students select only appropriate lashes to protect follicle health and retention.

Lesson 3 • Isolation Practice on Training Aids

Uses mannequin heads and lash strips to build muscle memory before live models. Deliberate practice on training aids accelerates skill transfer to real clients.

Lesson 4 • Tweezer Grip and Hand Positioning

Establishes ergonomic grip, wrist angle, and hand-bracing techniques for sustained precision. Correct posture reduces fatigue and improves isolation accuracy over long sessions.

Lesson 1 • Eye Shape Analysis and Classification

Identifies almond, round, hooded, monolid, downturned, and wide-set eye shapes. Accurate classification is the prerequisite for all design decisions in this chapter.

Lesson 2 • Consultation and Design Communication

Trains students to translate client inspiration images into achievable mapped designs. Clear communication prevents mismatched expectations and builds client trust.

Lesson 3 • Classic Style Variations

Covers natural, cat-eye, doll-eye, and squirrel-eye map configurations. Students select and execute the appropriate style based on eye shape and client preference.

Lesson 4 • Curl and Length Strategy by Eye Shape

Pairs specific curl and length combinations with each eye shape to enhance or correct proportions. Students apply strategic choices to lift, open, or elongate the eye.

Lesson 1 • Post-Application Inspection and Finishing

Applies a systematic quality check for stickies, gaps, and misaligned extensions. Finishing steps include brushing, fanning, and client aftercare briefing.

Lesson 2 • Completing a Full Classic Set

Guides students through a timed full-set workflow from first lash to final check. Structured pacing builds the speed and consistency required for professional service.

Lesson 3 • Client Preparation and Positioning

Covers bed height, client recline, lighting setup, and pre-cleanse protocol. Proper preparation creates the ergonomic and hygienic conditions for precise application.

Lesson 4 • Extension Pickup and Placement

Trains the pinch-and-slide pickup and the glide-on placement at the natural lash base. Correct placement 0.5–1 mm from the lid ensures safety and bond longevity.

Lesson 1 • Recognizing and Responding to Adverse Reactions

Identifies allergic reactions, chemical burns, and mechanical damage requiring immediate action. Students apply first-response protocols and refer clients to medical care when appropriate.

Lesson 2 • Lash Recovery and Conditioning Treatments

Introduces lash serums, conditioning coats, and rest periods to restore natural lash vitality. Students recommend appropriate recovery protocols based on assessed damage level.

Lesson 3 • Full-Set Removal Methods

Compares gel, cream, and oil-based removers for full-set dissolution and mechanical removal. Students select the safest method based on client sensitivity and extension age.

Lesson 4 • Assessing Natural Lash Condition

Evaluates lash density, length, and curl after removal to detect damage or thinning. Assessment findings guide recommendations for recovery and future service timing.

Lesson 1 • Fill Workflow and Time Management

Structures the fill appointment into assessment, removal, and application phases with time targets. Efficient workflow allows professional fill completion within standard service windows.

Lesson 2 • Retention Assessment and Documentation

Evaluates percentage of remaining extensions and identifies retention failure causes. Systematic documentation supports pattern recognition and service improvement.

Lesson 3 • Client Aftercare Education

Delivers clear aftercare instructions covering cleansing, products to avoid, and sleep habits. Educated clients achieve better retention and require fewer corrective appointments.

Lesson 4 • Troubleshooting Poor Retention with Clients

Guides collaborative problem-solving when clients report premature shedding or damage. Students identify root causes and implement corrective strategies without blame.
