After Your LASHGASM Lash Course: Building Your First Client Base

Your Mentorship Doesn't End on Day Two

Every LASHGASM course includes ongoing mentorship or post-training support after the live days, not just a certificate. The beginner course carries this forward as ongoing mentorship and support once you've finished your two in-person days, and the advanced course carries it forward as post-training support after its one customized day. That structure exists because Anna teaches as someone who holds her own formal credentials in the techniques she's passing on: she holds certificates in classic and volume extension technique from Innovalook Inc., and in RefectoCil lash tinting and lash lift and perm training issued by Rose Bella. The mentorship you get afterward comes from an educator who was assessed on the same fundamentals she's teaching you, not someone reciting a curriculum she's never been tested on herself.

What's in Your Kit When You Start Working

Graduates leave with the professional kit used in class, so the first client you book is worked on with the same tools you trained on. Both the beginner and advanced courses include a professional lash kit as part of what's provided, along with a comprehensive training manual and a certificate of completion once you've finished your live-model practice. That continuity between training and your first real client appointment matters more than it might seem: you're not learning on one set of tools in class and then guessing at replacements once you're on your own with a paying client in front of you. The manual stays useful past the training days too, as a reference for mapping and technique questions that come up once you're working independently and don't have an instructor standing beside you.

Pricing Your First Sets Safely

Course curriculum covers pricing and business fundamentals, but no course or article can promise a specific income. The beginner curriculum names business strategies, pricing, and social media tips among the topics covered during training, and the advanced course extends that into business growth strategies and pricing refinement for artists already working with clients. What that guidance gives you is a framework, not a number: pricing should start from your real costs, kit and product replenishment, the time each style actually takes you at your current speed, and what the local Montréal market supports, rather than a guess pulled from social media or a formula promising a specific outcome.

New artists sometimes look for a fixed starting price or a rule of thumb they can copy directly. That approach skips the part that actually matters, which is understanding your own costs and your own working speed well enough to price sustainably as both improve over your first months of client work. A starting price copied from someone else carries their costs, their speed and their market, none of which are yours, so it tells you very little about what your own work should cost.

Staying Stocked as You Grow

Graduates keep a lifetime 15% discount on LASHGASM products, so restocking trays, adhesive and tweezers doesn't mean starting over with a new supplier. That discount applies for both beginner and advanced course graduates and doesn't expire, which means the categories you trained on, lash trays, tweezers, adhesives and liquids, tape and spoolies, stay available at a reduced cost as your client list grows and your kit needs replenishing. For a new artist watching every cost closely in the first months of working, that ongoing discount is one less variable to plan around while everything else about running a new business is still being figured out.

Questions After the Course

Mentorship stays open for technique and retention questions, and once you're working with clients, the one-day advanced course is there for further refinement if you want it. It's built specifically for artists who already hold a lash certification and want a customized day focused on whatever is currently holding their work back, whether that's speed, isolation, styling or retention. Because the day is customized rather than fixed, it can be booked whenever a specific gap shows up in your work, not just as a next step immediately after the beginner course.

Graduating doesn't mean the learning stops; it means the next stage of it happens with real clients instead of a training model, with mentorship, and if you choose it later, a follow-up training day, still available to you as you build your practice and figure out where your own work needs the most attention.

Your First Weeks, Structurally Easier

Between the mentorship, the matching kit, and the pricing framework covered in the curriculum, the first weeks after a course are less about figuring out fundamentals from scratch and more about applying them under real conditions with a real client in the chair. That's the gap this structure is built to close.

Keep Building

If you haven't started training yet, see what's covered in the beginner lash course, and once you're certified elsewhere or through LASHGASM, the advanced training day is there when you're ready to refine.
