There has never been a better time to enter the business of beautiful eyes, which includes brow and lash services. Lash enhancement services have enjoyed an ongoing demand for many years, as has brow waxing. These two services will always enjoy a timeless, sustained clientele. However, the advent and exploding focus on perfect brows is taking the world by force.
Celebrities and social media have made impeccable brows a non-negotiable and basic beauty essential. Improved lash extension technology and interest in alternative enhancements have also contributed to the demand for services that are all about eyes. As if the top half of our face wasn’t taking enough of the spotlight, the pandemic further put eyes on the centre stage as the only visible part of our faces when wearing masks. This has resulted in an ongoing desire for beautiful lashes and brows, even without masks.

Where should I start with creating my All About Eyes beauty business?
Many people don’t realize that you can become a lash and brow specialist without any prerequisites! In fact, this is a popular career pivot, the starting point for a side business, or an opportunity for parents re-entering the workforce.
A full Brow Technician Program requires two days of in-class training while an entire Lash Technician Program requires five days. However, we have found that not all beauty professionals want to start with the full programs. This may be because of time constraints or because they want to start a little smaller with specializing in a specific technique. If finances are a concern, you should know that we offer financing options to make sure this doesn’t stand between you and your goals! A trademark of our courses is that you get to practise on live models to ensure you can confidently start offering these services immediately.
In the Brow Sculpting class students learn how to measure and map brows for excellent symmetry.
The Brow Artist Program covers all the main brow services currently in demand. You will learn:
- Brow Mapping, Sculpting, & Design
- Brow Tinting
- Brow Waxing
- Brow Lamination
- Brow Henna

Similarly, the Lash Technician Program covers the most commonly requested lash services:
- Classic Lash Extensions
- Volume Lashes
- Lash Lift & Tint
CAN I START SMALLER?
Yes! In fact, many of our students have started their home business or salon career by specializing in just some of the above services. When it comes to lashes, a great place to start is by taking the Classic Lash Extensions course which includes two days of in-class training. As for brows, learning how to map, sculpt and wax includes one day of training with the Brow Sculpting & Waxing course. With this one lash course and one brow course, you are on your way! As a result, you can be ready to open your business for both lashes and brows within a few days of completing your certification.
Thanks to the amount of practising you take part in, you will feel confident taking bookings as soon as you get your W.B.A. certificate in brows or lashes.
What is the earning potential of an eyes beauty specialist?
LASHES
Lash Technicians currently and typically charge between $45-$240 per appointment, depending on the type of service and their experience. In 2022 earning potential for a newly-certified lash service provider is based on an average cost of $45 for a bi-weekly lash fill maintenance service and an average of $100 for a new set.
Lash extensions need regular fills due to the natural cycle of lashes. This makes this service excellent for creating a loyal client base with a high re-booking rate.
BROWS
At the starting end of your Brow Technician career, services range from $22-$85, with an average of $55 per appointment. This does not include brow micropigmentation, which is the ultimate brow revenue generator, but we’ll expand more on that!
WHAT IF I START SMALLER?
If you begin with only one area of brow and lash expertise (by taking one course in each), you will have a smaller expected client base size, as you would only be offering basic services. However, even if you simply offer Classic Lash Extensions and Brow Waxing, you will be well on your way. As time goes by, you will be energized by your growing expertise and return to take more brow and lash courses which will grow your client base and boost your earning potential.
YEARLY INCOME POTENTIAL WITH A LA CARTE TRAINING:
What next?
So you’ve now taken all the lash and brow services. You are a fully-fledged Lash Technician and Brow Artist. Well done! Have you experienced some of these common outcomes?
- The current fluffy brows trend has made Brow Lamination popular.
- A whole new segment of clients who wouldn’t get lash extensions love the natural curl of a lash lift.
- You’re ready to move on from starter brow and lash services to challenge yourself.
- You want to add a “big ticket” item to your service menu to boost your earning potential.
- Your clients are asking about more semi-permanent brow options.
It might be time to step up your All About Eyes career!
We teach brow measuring, mapping, and symmetry in our Brow Micropigmentation courses to make them accessible to both beginners and current brow technicians.
Enter Microblading! Not only is this a fun and rewarding service to perform, but it brings a noticeable boost to your beauty business revenue. With only 1 client a day, you are looking at a microblading gross income of up to $90,000 a year. Revenue aside, this service signals to your clientele that you are relevant and in touch with the rising demand for practical and effortless brows. It is a wonderful feeling to be able to offer advanced services to your loyal clients. Having microblading on your service menu not only helps keep existing clients from sourcing their eyes beauty elsewhere, but it expands your client base to include people who are specifically looking for this popular service.
Have you heard of Nano Brows?
A similar service to keep an eye on as it becomes more prominent is Nano Brows! This semi-permanent brow pigmentation service is fast and by all accounts, longer-lasting. The tip of the needle is dipped into pigment, and device-initiated vibration then pulls the pigment into the cartridge, dispensing it gradually down the needle and into the skin. This creates flawless hair strokes and a beautiful, natural-looking brow. This method involves less discomfort and lasts up to three years. Consequently, you can charge more for nano brows than you would for microblading. Consider yourself trend-alerted!
