Lady Lash - Secrets of the Eyelashes!
18th Jan 2024
Late last year we were very lucky to have Kimberley Coleman from Lady Lash Studio and Academy spend 3 days with 8 young people, teaching them the secrets of the lash trade!
Day 1 had a big focus on the importance of Health & Safety, preparation and tools of the trade.
Day 2 saw our young people working in pairs and having turns to be the model and technician for eyelash extensions, removals and infills.
Day 3 was all about eyebrows - structure and skin tones, mapping, measure and shaping of eyebrows. Tinting, including allergy awareness and color correction.
Kimberley was a fantastic tutor and a great influence on our youth. She spent a lot of time making them aware of the things that could go wrong if they did not follow the correct procedures - the health and safety of the client is the first and foremost important consideration for beauty businesses. Kimberley had a huge drive towards positivity and gratitude and why this was an important part of business.
Every participant received a kit which would help them to practice what they had learnt, and they were also offered pastoral care for advice or product which some have followed through with.
