How To Start The Eyelash Business?

Research the requirements of the eyelash business

Eyelash extension is still a relatively new industry, so different states and countries have other requirements. Some states require you to have a beautician or beautician license to perform eyelash extension services. Some did not. Some will automatically grant you a commission based on the number of years you practice. There are no fixed rules: it all depends on the state you live in. The best way to understand your state requires to contact your state’s licensing commission or find their website. If you are still confused, be sure to seek clarification. 

Set income goals of your lash business

To start a successful business, you need to plan for income. When you don’t even have a business, thinking about income can be daunting, but having a plan will help you set realistic goals to ensure you don’t lose money on your new business.

1. Figure out your startup costs.

*Eyelash Course/Certificate: The prices of these vary greatly. You want to invest in quality courses that suit your needs from reputable educators. Please keep in mind that the price may be related to the quality of the course.

*Business registration and license: This fee varies depending on your state but is usually several hundred dollars.

*Commercial insurance: a must-have for all artists, especially because you provide caring services to people. The cost of commercial insurance may also vary, usually a small monthly fee.

*Equipment cost: You need to buy a lot of equipment to start, decorate your salon, buy tools, such as eyelash extensions, eyelash glue, tweezers, adhesives, etc.

2. Find out the income you may earn. To determine your estimated income, please consider:

*How much does the local eyelash grower charge for each set? 

*How many sets can you provide every day? How many groups per week? 

3. Calculate your ongoing monthly costs. These may include rent and overhead expenses, like electricity, advertising, subscription software, and supply costs.

*Look carefully at these numbers. Your startup costs can be as high as thousands of dollars. Ask yourself: Do you have the funds to start this business? If not, where can you get it? Can you borrow money or loans from your family?

*You also need to consider your profits to determine whether it makes sense to invest in startup capital.
