The lash artistry industry is booming and we’re not surprised why. More and more women are willing to invest in beauty services like eyelash extensions because they know that the treatment gives you voluminous and long lashes, with semi-permanent results that allow you to go makeup-free for a long time.
Great for those who aren’t good with eye makeup and those who prefer to sleep in and save time on their makeup routines in the morning, lash services are a must-have for many women in Singapore.
Whether you’re a beauty therapist looking to expand your repertoire, or a newbie to the beauty services industry looking to acquire a new skill for a career switch, you’re looking at the right article.
Where to learn lash extension?
Those who often look out for lash extension services would be familiar with Dreamlash. Hailing from Korea, Dreamlash is one of the most established lash extension salons in Singapore. But did you know that the lash salon also has an academy where they train and groom new lash artists?
It is called The Lash Academy, and it is helmed by Rachel Lye, the Principal Trainer of The Lash Academy International and Dreamlash Korea Eyelash Studio. The Lash Academy specialises in training eyelash-related services.
You know you’re in good hands because Rachel is also the chairman of International Eyelash Designer Association and Korean EyeLash Association, which are based in Seoul, Korea. Her professional skills are so well-respected that she has been invited as the Official Judge in Korean Beauty Contest 2016 – 2019.
The entire programme takes around one to three months to complete, depending on each student’s learning ability, and involves at least 34 hours of face-to-face training.
Students are provided with strong after-course support; they can attend refresher classes and revisions so that trainers can follow up with their skills mastery to help them improve further. The academy also encourages students to make use of the school’s facilities for their own practices at no extra charges.
