Hello, I just began a training course for a new eyelash extension salon that has just opened up and at first I was excited and figured I would get the technique down and that it wouldn't be too hard to learn. But boy was I mistaken. I know it has only been 3 days so far, but it has been the most frustrating thing I have ever had to learn in my entire esthetics career so far. Every day I go into training with a positive attitude, and when I leave I just am wondering if I will ever get it down and if it is even worth it. I am having a lot of trouble isolating the lash, and when I go to pick up the extension, the lash that i am isolating has somehow disappeared or other lashes have clumped on to it, if that makes sense. I am isolating the lash with my left hand and have the tweezers in my right hand (I am right hand dominant) and picking up the extension at a 1:00 angle and pulling the extension off towards me. I find this very frustrating and at times when i'm getting frustrated while doing the lashing, I just want to throw in the towel and just accept that lashing just isn't for me. In your honest opinion, is lashing even worth it? The time, money, frustration, etc? Can you make good money as well? ALSO, after I'm done with training, they want me to sign a contract saying I will be working with them for at least 9 months. If I quit(or also get fired, i'm not sure) before that 9 months they will take $1,000 something out of my paycheck. Does that mean that i'm guaranteed to be making that kind of money if they are saying that and making me sign a contract? Should I even work for a company that is making me sign a contract like that? I've personally never signed a contract like this before so I'm very skeptical about signing it right now. All opinions on this matter are greatly appreciated!
ALSO, i'm having trouble figuring out where to put the extension on the individual lash, is it more on top or to the side?
NOTE- They are offering this training for free, so that is probably what the contract is about. The training is through XTreme Lashes.
THANKS!
