Beginning Lash Class

This class is for the student who is serious about learning the “art and science” of eyelash extensions. In learning the Occhi Method, the student will be instructed on:

• The Proper Hand and Body Posture – An important issue for many lash artists who experience discomfort while doing eyelash extensions
• Ocular Health – Understanding eye health
• Sanitation – Proper sanitation is essential for a successful business
• Basic Lashing Techniques – Handling double tweezers, isolation, pulling lashes, and placing lashes
• Importance of Proper Glue Usage – Most lash artists use twice the amount of glue they should use, leaving clumps, causing cross bonding of lashes
• Basic Eye Shapes and Design – Learn to artistically design and define an eye
• Removal of Existing Eyelash Extensions – Without damaging the natural lash
• How to Set Up an Effective Workstation

• Hands-On Training on Models
• Beginners Kit
• Training Manual
• Eye-Tec Audio/Video Feedback 
• Lunch
• Certification – Awarded to students who fulfill the requirement standards set by the Occhi Institute
• Continuing Education Units – Where applicable

We highly recommend that students completing initial training consider the Volume Lash class within a few months to continue honing their skills in creativity, artistry, and speed, while receiving personal feedback on their basic technique. From our experience, lash artists who don’t follow up with continuing training often find themselves looking to less-than-qualified sources for help and advice, and end up offering mediocre service, getting frustrated, and working very hard for little money. Initially, we encourage students to send before and after photos so that a member of the Occhi team can contact them and offer initial feedback and helpful hints on technique.
