Lash extensions have come a long way since their early-2000s debut. What started as a glam-only trend is now a beauty essential—and that makes lash courses in Winnipeg a smart, strategic move for estheticians and skin technicians looking to grow.

Why Lash Extensions Are Here to Stay

Lash extensions are no longer a luxury—they’re a staple. From busy professionals wanting to skip mascara to beauty lovers looking for low-maintenance glam, lashes are in demand across ages, lifestyles, and esthetics. And with more customization options than ever, today’s clients can choose everything from natural-looking classics to bold volume fans.

Want proof it’s not a fad? Just check the booking calendars of your local lash techs. Most are fully booked with regular clients every 2–4 weeks. Lash loyalty is real—and lucrative.

What You’re Wondering: Answered.

Can You Take This Program Without an Esthetics Diploma?

You must be an Esthetician or Skin Care Technician. Manitoba regulations require this to professionally offer lash services.

What Makes This Program Different?

Class Flexibility: Daytime and evening class options.

Start Working Right Away: You can start offering lash services as soon as you’re certified.
Add-Ons Available: Register for Lash Lift & Tint at the same time and we’ll align your schedule.
Real Practice: You’ll work on multiple live models over the course of training.
Practical Academy: We’re located near major bus routes with free parking, a student lunchroom, free lockers, and access to your favourite coffee and food options just steps away.

Is It Worth It If I’ve Already Taken Classic Lashes?

Yes. Many estheticians begin with classic lash training but quickly realize that hybrid and volume sets are where the real demand—and profit—is.

Fuller styles mean fewer visible gaps, longer-lasting looks, and more satisfied clients.

Even fans of classic lashes often request volume or hybrid for weddings, vacations, or photoshoots. Being certified in all three styles positions you as a trusted, versatile lash expert.

What Do I Need to Bring to Class?

We supply everything you need for lash training. Just bring:

A pen and notebook
A device (such as a smartphone) for online components
Closed-toe indoor shoes
Black attire (and a ponytail or hair clip) for model practice

Is Becoming a Lash Tech a Good Investment?

Definitely—and it’s a smart strategic move. Being an expert in lash extensions helps you stand out in a competitive beauty industry, while offering a high-demand service that clients come back for consistently.

Reliable Repeat Business: Lash clients are some of the most loyal in the beauty space. Once someone falls in love with how their lashes look, they usually return every 2–4 weeks for fills. That repeat business adds up fast and can give you steady income and schedule stability, even when other services are more seasonal.

Client Education & Cross-Selling: What’s more, lash appointments give you extended one-on-one time with clients—making it the perfect chance to build trust and introduce them to your other services. Whether it’s skin care, brows, or seasonal treatments, you can naturally educate them on how to care for their skin and meet their evolving beauty goals all year long.

Expansion Opportinuities: If you’re a licensed esthetician or skin tech and working at a beauty business, you may also have the option—depending on their non-compete policies—to run your own freelance lash extension side business on evenings or weekends, which is perfect if you’re saving for big life milestones like a house, travelling, wedding, or a car.

Jump Ahead: Plus, becoming really skilled at lashes boosts your credibility and makes it easier to raise your prices, increase referrals, or even mentor others. As a licensed esthetician (or skin tech), whether you want to work in a spa, rent a room, or eventually run your own lash business, mastering lash extensions gives you flexibility, income potential, and room to grow.
