How Our Lash Certification Program Works
Our lash training program in Edmonton follows a structured five-step process designed to take you from curious beginner, or experienced technician, to certified, confident professional. Here's what to expect:
Step 1: Consultation & Booking
Every program begins with a conversation. Because our training is entirely private, we tailor the curriculum to your current skill level before your first session begins.
- We assess whether you're starting from scratch or refining existing technique
- Session dates are scheduled directly through our Academy portal or by contacting the studio
- Program content is adjusted based on your background and goals
- Cost is approximately $500 per private session (prices subject to change)
Step 2: Theoretical Foundation
Before you touch a lash, you need to understand why every decision you make matters. This phase builds the professional knowledge base that separates trained artists from self-taught technicians.
- AHS sanitation and safety protocols: the non-negotiables of professional lash work
- Product knowledge: adhesives, lash trays, tools, and their correct applications
- Client consultation techniques and eye shape analysis
- Understanding contraindications and how to protect your clients' natural lash health
Step 3: Hands-On Practice
This is where technique becomes muscle memory. Under direct instructor supervision, you move from controlled practice environments to working on real clients.
- Initial practice on mannequin heads to build isolation and placement accuracy
- Live model sessions: students bring a model or one is provided by the studio
- Real-time feedback from your instructor on every application
- Focus on precision, cleanliness, and client comfort throughout
Step 4: Evaluation & Certification
Certification at Arch & Elevate is earned, not handed out. To receive your certificate, you must demonstrate a clear standard of professional readiness.
- Technical proficiency: clean application, correct isolation, no damage to natural lashes
- Demonstrated understanding of AHS hygiene and safety standards
- Completion of all required course hours
- Certificate issued upon successful evaluation: recognized as an Arch & Elevate Academy graduate
Step 5: Post-Training Support
Graduation isn't the end of your relationship with Arch & Elevate, it's the beginning. Our commitment to education with integrity means we stay available as you build your career.
