Hi Michelle. good answer. It is so true. I myself have corrected many and it is some technicians terrible work that gives us all a bad name.

You are entitled to your opinion but I learned from a training video and training manual through JB Lash, not a "youtube" video. I got certified through the internet and practiced on many people before I started to offer it as a professional service. If you would like to see my work you can see it here www.styleseat.com/samanthamaline
Not every person who does extensions gets it, trained by a "brand trainer" or not. You can't lump all people who are excellent self-starters and learners in with people who do shitty extensions with ebay products and "youtube" videos. And I was never suggesting doing that. I was questioning the wisdom of taking a $1500 training course because of being listed as a certified technician on their website is the sign on bonus.
I understand your point of view, I see bad work all the time. But I live in a small town and I know many "technicians" who took did expensive training and are still rolling out clumped, misplaced, poorly applied lashes. They're not doing so good. So, in my experience, it has less to do with the brand name of the training you get and the dollar amount you spent on it than it does the precision and practice level of the technician performing the lashes.
JB Lash offers a training course online for 150 dollars that includes a dvd training video, a training manual, and online quizzes you have to pass. You can then send in 3 example pictures of your lashes to get certified.

Hi Samantha, my apologies. Making a sweeping statement like that was not fair. Of course there are exceptions. I have trained for a couple of the larger companies and taught there one day courses and saw so many of the students left puzzled and unable to adequately work on clients. Congratulations for your dedication, you do a great job!

LOVE JB LASHES but I was trained in a school by professionals! I would never have learned from a "video" too scary! I agree with Michelle, as well! The hands on training is best! The new skin deep has a great article about starting with lash extensions. Read it :)

It definitely is worth it. They stand behind their products and are a great company to work with. Their glue is the best. I have experienced other glue and it does not compare. I am an advanced xtreme stylist and I am on their directory as such and it has helped my business. Consumers are educating themselves more and I have had several people comment on having educated people because it is their eye area and they want to know the person did training and not just online. I have corrected several sets that were very bad and knowing your stuff is an asset. Don't sell yourself short. Educate yourself and it will pay off. It is a big chunk of change but I felt was worth it obviously since I am continuing to educate.
Let people know you care about their lashes and inform them. Stay away from clusters. They damage and you don't want to be responsible for that. I could go on and on but I'll stop. good luck with your decision. Educating is never a wrong way to go.

Hi Tracy, I decided to go with extreme lashes I felt I'd rather pay the money and get educated for two days than take a 1 day class somewhere else. I've heard they have great products and if I'm going to get trained I might as well get trained by the best. I want the best for my clients

Glad to hear it. You won't regret it. Be patient. It is hard at first but then it clicks.

Have you taken the class yet? If so what did you think? I'm considering taking the xtreme lash training also in February but not sure if it would be worth it for me. I'm just wondering if I could get enough clients to make it profitable.

Hi Tiffany! Class is next weekend but before class you have to take a tutorial and get a 100% before attending training. (Don't worry it's easy as long as you pay attention to the tutorial) I received my kit and am very pleased with it. I'm excited for the training! I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the reply! I would love to hear how it goes!

So today was the first day and I can already say it's worth the investment. Your going to have to practice practice practice but xtreme lashes has a very informational training and you practice several times.

That's sooo good to hear! I signed up and received my kit Thursday! Looking forward to the class this coming weekend. Keep me posted on how it goes for you!
