Are you still unsure if becoming a Lash Artist is the right career choice for you?

 

I know getting into a brand new industry can be very daunting, so it pays to do a lot of research before giving up your current work to take on a new career path. Lashing looks easier than what it really is, so you'll never find out until you have done your training, and to see if lashing is something you want to pursue.

 

I have found the majority of Lash Artists are self employed working from home, or renting a room inside a salon. Many of them enjoy the idea of having their own business and the flexibility of working their own hours, but do expect in order to become a successful Solo Lash Artist, you are also required to learn about the marketing and business sides as well.

 

Highly skilled Lash Artists are very sought after around the world, and it is definitely a skill that you can travel with on your OE. Being an employee, your hourly wage would depend on your speed, skill, and experience level. But if you are after more flexibility, then you may want to consider contracting to a salon on a commission based structure.
