i did my training for hollywood lash at liverpool beauty academy it cost me £120 i bought the kit from hollywood lash and it was £75 i got the student one and it has been ore than brilliant, has everything i need, the only thing is it has 8mm lashes which to be honest no one would ever ask for so bit of a waste.. and you can buy single items off there site.
i charge £30 per set... working mobile, and £20 for maintenance. i also work as a mobile hairdresser and started this as a side line, but as it stands at the minute i am busier with the lashes.. easy money too........£30 for aroung 50 mins work..... making around £27 profit on that. not bad eh??
good luck xxxxxxxxxx

There is no secret, a full set is not always a full set by some peoples standards. Some people will fit as many as possible, until there is no more to attach to.(even looking through a mag lamp!)

Some people do infill's in 30 mins, a clean-up and just apply some new ones, that is a bodge in my view.

Some people fully clean the lashes up when they carry an infill and rework any loose or strayed lashes and take a full hour, not just give them a little clean and topup for any that are missing.

There is different standards as you can see, we only have the best as you can tell from above. we dont have none of that criss cross stuff.

Dont be so hard on yourself, our lady dont tan or wax or do nails or anything, thats why others are faster or better.

hi i might of exaggerated a bit lol still its not much more than an hour though!!
definatly not two hours, i mean once there is a lash on every lash what more is there to do??
some people have loads of lashes and it still wouldn't take 2 hours.also my lashes are on a strip on my hand and my glue in a ring pot, this speeds it up a bit!

and i can assure you susanevian there is no criss crossing, maybe you would like to take a trip up to st helens and share your wisdom on the perfect lash application as you clearly don't think i'm up to the job??

I trained with marvel lash about 5 weeks ago and have the kit, not impressed by either by the way, no support afterwards, the glue is rubbish. Fine for training but I would not want to use with a paying client. I am thinking of having some additional training and have just ordered some products from another company.

WOW. So you only paid £195 for the course and the kit? I went to the beauty exhibition in London in April/ May and the courses were about £300 +, have they gone down that much already? I've been away for 6 months so im a bit behind in what is going on in the uk. I'm finding being a salon geek very educational!
