5 Reasons to Become a Lash Technician
We all have individual reasons as to why we become a mum – either to fulfil a life long urge, to do your part for humanity, or some just by plain accident. Whichever way you look at it, we have kids and we want to be with them – for the most part anyway!
For many of us, when we become mum’s we feel like we’ve sacrificed our career, even if it’s just for a little while. Yes, being a mum is a full-time gig, but it’s 2022 and if we want to be a mum and have a career, it’s possible.
Sound too hard? It’s easier than you think. This is where getting into the lash industry comes in! There’s many reasons, but we’ve listed our top four favourite reasons:
1. Flexibility
One of the best bits about being a lash tech as a mum is flexibility; work the hours YOU want to work! We all want to be able to take our kids to daycare, or school and be there to welcome them home. We want to be available on public holidays, curriculum days and school holidays etc.. As a lash tech, you can book clients in during school hours and not book clients in during holidays and weekends.
But if you know your kids are going to a party for a day or the grandparents house for the weekend, then you can already plan to book clients in for that time – if you choose to use that time off to work anyway!
2. Work from home
Who likes travelling to work? Not many of us! Especially when you have to organise getting the kids to daycare or school, then be at work by a certain time, sit in traffic, pay for petrol etc not fun. Have your clients come to you! Set aside a little space, maybe in the garage, the back room or even a small section in the lounge room closed off with a room divider.
This is your work space to make your own and put your own creative juices into! Then throughout your work day your mummy duties are not being neglected. Get house duties complete in-between clients and even prepare dinner! #winning
3. Income
Let’s be honest, we all want to make a buck without too much effort – but as mums, we will be the hardest working person you have ever met! The lash industry is perfect for making income! If you have ever researched getting your lashes done, then you know how much you could be paying for a set.
Depending on your location, you can charge anywhere from $80-$200 for a Classic set of lashes and $120-$400 for a Volume set. Keeping in mind, you have only really spent maybe $40 to create that. Any financial planner will tell you that is a no brainer business gig! If you do 3 sets of lashes per day and charge $120/Classic set, you would be making $360/day – times that by 5 days per week – that’s $1,800/week; but you can EASILY be making more!
4. Learn in the comfort of your own home
Flexibility is mandatory as a mum. Thankfully, there are some incredible online lash tech courses available! Locks Lash in particular is a leading training facility with incredible beauty courses available, including an online Complete Lash Artistry course. In this course, you’ll learn three different lash application styles (classic, hybrid and volume). In fact, it’s the only online course available where you can learn three styles in the one course; and YES, it’s ALL online!
Study at your own pace, wherever and whenever suits you. Study from your laptop, tablet, even your phone! The course is made to be engaging and fun and includes a combination of theory and practical. You have access to an online trainer who’ll help guide you through your course and answer any questions you may have. You even receive a complimentary lash kit – ha!
Whether you smash the course out in a few days or a few weeks, it’s up to you. At the end of your course, you’ll receive your certification as a qualified lash technician. We highly recommend that you check out the course here.
5. Fun!
Everyone wants a job they love! A job where they feel comfortable in what they do. Can you imagine being able to spend your days chatting to clients about all the things we chat about as mums – kids, cooking, holidays, the newest Karen saga! That’s what you get to do while doing your clients’ lashes!
Most of the time, you’ll find that your client will turn into a friend who you cannot wait to come in for a refill because you want to just catch up on all the newest gossip! And if gossip is not your thing, then you can always just advise that you do a quiet session – and you and your client enjoy an hour of just peace and quiet…. BLISS!
