Whether you're starting out or starting over.
New lash artists. Start from the very beginning with a strong, safe foundation.
Artists who want a refresher. Sharpen your technique and rebuild your confidence.
Certified, but something's missing. You finished a course, but you still don't fully understand why lashes retain or fail, or why your products behave the way they do.
Artists who want the science. An in-depth look at the fundamentals: the natural lash, adhesive chemistry and product theory.
03 / Your path to certification
Four steps, about 66 hours.
Tap each step to see what's involved.
01 Eye Health course
Online prerequisite, included in your course.
Before you work near a client's eye, you need to understand it. Complete the Eye Health course on the Elusive Education online platform and score at least 85% before your practical. You'll earn your first certificate here.
02 Online lash theory
About 40 hours, at your own pace.
Access the theory anytime on the Elusive Education online platform. Work through reading, videos, photos and diagrams that build your foundation in lash science and product theory, and learn the why behind every decision you'll make at the lash bed. Score at least 85% on the theory exam.
03 At-home activities
About 10 hours, activity kit included.
Your activity kit lets you practise before you ever touch a model. Complete every activity from home, including sponge work, mannequin head practice, lash mapping and real case studies. Once your theory and activities are complete, you're ready to book your practical.
04 Hands-on practical
16 hours with Dianna in St. John's. Mandatory.
Two full days, or four half days if you'd like to split it up. Most students choose two days back to back. You'll move into supervised live model application with one-on-one instruction, and score at least 85% on your practical assessment to earn your Lash Extension certificate.

07 / Myth or fact?
Test what you know
Tap each one to see the answer. This is the kind of thinking we build in class.
"If extensions fall out early, it's the glue."
Myth. Often the adhesive never reached a clean lash. Oil, makeup, skincare, cleanser residue or moisture can sit between the glue and the lash, and the bond fails with it.
"Stuck-together lashes are harmless."
Myth. Natural lashes grow at different rates. When two are bonded together, the faster one pulls on the other, which can cause damage and early shedding.
"Fuller always means heavier."
Myth. Weight has to match what the natural lash can carry. Too heavy stresses the lash and follicle. Well-made volume fans give fullness without the extra weight.
"Humidity changes how your adhesive behaves."
Fact. Lash adhesive cures with moisture in the air. Too little or too much humidity changes how fast it sets and how strong the bond is.
08 / The finished result

10 / Our standard
A certificate that means something.
Our goal is for every student to reach their full potential, do beautiful work and keep their clients safe. That's why the Eye Health course, the online theory and the at-home activities must all be complete before your practical, and why you need 85% on each assessment to pass.
Come prepared. If a student isn't ready to meet the course criteria during the practical, they won't receive their certificate that day.
What happens if I don't pass?
You'll get feedback and clear instructions on what to practise at home, and we'll make a plan together for you to come back for reassessment. This can be a half-day session if that's all you need.
