Can you sell your own lash course as a lash tech?
Lash techs can sell their own lash extension course online with the Avana Academy. The Avana Academy is the course platform from Avana for salons and beauty professionals in the UK: you sell your own course with lessons online, a practical day in your calendar and a certificate with the learner's name on it, and no commission is taken from your course price. You sell your lash course under your own name, without a training provider behind you, in the same system as your appointments. The model day is an appointment in your calendar with two or three places, in between your full sets and infills.
Explain the theory once
Lash mapping, isolation, adhesive and retention are set up once as lessons. Learners watch them at home as often as they need, so the model day no longer starts from zero.
The quiz comes before the model
A few questions on hygiene, allergies and contraindications, with an explanation under every wrong answer. Make it compulsory and nobody books a model day without that knowledge.
A model day that fits your week
You choose the dates and how many places each one has, and learners pick the day that works for them. What the model needs to know goes with the day in the course.
How do you put a lash course online?
In the Avana Academy, a lash course starts from one of six examples, and you add your own lessons. Most lash techs have a first course up in an evening.
Turn your theory into lessons
Lash mapping, isolation, adhesive, bonding and aftercare: each topic becomes a lesson. Film your explanation on your phone, or write it out with photos. Your workbook and aftercare card sit underneath as files.
Plan the model days
Pick the days you teach and how many learners can join each one. Every day shows up in your calendar as an appointment that blocks the time.
Share your course page
Your course gets its own page under your studio name. Put the link in your Instagram bio or send it to whoever asked. Learners sign up and choose a model day.

Teaching a lash course: what goes in it and how to sell it
Plenty of lash techs start teaching because someone asks: an apprentice, a client who wants to set up on their own, a message on Instagram. The first time it runs on voice notes and a PDF. If it keeps happening, you want a proper course with a price, a model day and a certificate that means something. The Avana Academy runs it in the same system as your calendar.
Your own course or a brand educator?
As a brand educator you teach a brand's course, with their material, their products and their certificate. With your own course you decide what is taught, which products you recommend and what you charge, and your studio name goes on the certificate. Many lash techs do one first and the other later.
What goes into a lash course?
A classic course starts with the natural lash: the growth cycle, lash mapping and choosing length and thickness. Then come isolation, adhesive and humidity, bonding and retention, and finally aftercare and removal. Hygiene and allergies deserve a lesson of their own, with a quiz behind it. Make that quiz compulsory before the model day can be booked, so the basics are in place before anyone lies down on your bed.
How do you arrange the model day?
Add the day to your course as a practical day with two or three places. In the description, say what you expect from the model, such as no extensions and no mascara. Learners choose a day that suits them and can switch up to 48 hours before. On the day itself you tick off who attended; only then does the day count and can the certificate go out.
What should you charge for a lash course?
Work it out from the model day, the attention each learner gets, the kit and the questions that keep coming afterwards, then look at what training in your area costs. None of your course price goes to Avana, and if learners pay online, any service fee is included in the price shown from the start. People who sign up early can get an early-bird price.
From classic to volume
Anyone who has mastered classic will want to learn volume next. Duplicate your course, adjust the lessons and set it as the follow-on. As soon as someone finishes the first course, the volume course appears at the bottom and in the email with their certificate. If you already use the lash tech booking software, it all sits under one login.
Questions from lash techs who want to teach
Do I need to be accredited to become a lash trainer?
No, with the Avana Academy you sell your own lash course under your own name and decide what is in it. The certificate confirms someone finished your course, and it is not a regulated qualification. Say clearly in your course what learners can do afterwards, because that is what a beginner bases their choice on.
How do I sort out a model for the practical day?
In the Avana Academy you add what you expect from the model to the practical day, for example no extensions and no mascara. Learners read it in the course before the day. They bring their own model, or you find one among your clients.
What if a learner cannot make the model day?
In the Avana Academy, learners can pick another model day themselves up to 48 hours before. After that, you move them to another date with space in one tap. If someone does not show up, you mark it, the day does not count as done and the certificate waits.
Can I show a free lesson to people who are unsure?
Yes, in the Avana Academy you can open one lesson of your lash course as a free taster, so people see how you explain things before they pay. You can also offer an early-bird price, show reviews from earlier learners and keep a waitlist when your model day is full.
Can I offer a volume course after classic?
Yes, in the Avana Academy you set which lash course comes next, and once someone has completed everything, the volume course appears at the bottom of their course and in the email with their certificate. Add a discount code for people who already trained with you.
Am I insured when a learner works on a model?
Teaching lash extensions is a question for your insurer, because a standard salon policy does not always cover training, and the Avana Academy does not provide insurance. Ask in writing whether training is included, and whether you are covered when a learner applies a set to a model under your supervision. In the Avana Academy you note what the model needs to know with the practical day, so the consultation is handled beforehand.
How can I sell my lash course online and get paid?
With the Avana Academy you decide per course how learners pay. They can pay you by a bank transfer, cash or a payment link you already use, or online by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. With online payment, any service fee is included in the price shown from the start, and nothing comes off your course price.
What does it cost to sell a lash course through Avana?
You add the Avana Academy to your Avana plan for £8.99 a month, for courses such as classic, volume and lash lift. Without the booking system, it costs £9.99 on its own. Prices include VAT and there is no minimum term.
