Hi, Thanks for getting in touch. I trained in Elleebana myself after training in other lash lift brands. I loved it so much I am now a freelance trainer for the brand. I personally find the the shields much more flexible than most others so they shape around the lash line easier and therefore not hidding short little hairs underneath. The timings for the products to develop is much shorter than most other brands and the lifting products which normally have quite a strong smell are in this case quite pleasant. The adhesive for sticking the shields and lashes is fab too and you can retail (should you wish), the Elleevate Mascara which can be used immediately after treatment even though you won't really need it. The course is a 4-5 hr course. You will be assessed at the end of the day but if I feel you need further practise I can arrange for you to be assessed again or to complete case studies but most people are good to go after the 1/2 course. Included is a kit with everything you need to perform at least 15 treatments (tint is not included). It is recommended that Belmacil Tint products are used in conjunction with Elleebana to ensure the best possible result if you do wish to tint. This can be shown on the day too but additional cost is added if you wish kit to include tint and peroxide. The course costs £300. You can inbox for more detail. Hope this helps! x
