Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash extensions can transform a look giving the effect of mascara without ever picking up a wand. Since the eyes are so central to expression and style well shaped brows and lashes carry real weight in beauty. 

HICI Go offers courses for professionals and non-professionals alike with live webinars, online, on-demand courses and select live in-person classes.

What Are Eyelash Extensions?

Eyelash extensions are individual lashes attached to a client’s natural ones adding volume and definition through a process called lash mapping. Extensions come in a range of materials including silk, mink, faux fur, synthetics like acrylic or plastic fibers and even human hair.

Through HICI Go, beauty professionals learn how to choose the right lash type and plan the finished look with lash mapping. Thickness, color and curve are all discussed during the initial consultation, then used as a guide throughout application ensuring the final result matches what the client asked for. Lash mapping keeps the process precise as each individual lash is glued into place.

Benefits of Eyelash Extensions and Lash Mapping

Eyelash extensions deliver fuller, darker lashes without a drop of mascara and they typically last six weeks to two months with light daily brushing to keep them separated. That means less time spent on makeup and a look clients can count on every single day.

After about six weeks extensions begin to shed naturally along with the lashes they’re attached to. Since natural lash growth doesn’t happen all at once, fills are recommended every two to three weeks to keep the look full and even. Eventually, a full removal resets the process from scratch.

Learn About Eyelash Extensions With HICI Go

Beyond the creative side, choosing the right thickness, planning a lash map and shaping the final look, there’s a technical skill set behind every great set of extensions. HICI Go courses cover which adhesives are safe to use and the careful, lash-by-lash process of application. It takes patience and precision and our students build that skill working alongside experienced instructors, in person or online. Non-professionals also come away with a much clearer understanding of what the process really involves.

Practitioners also need to guide clients on aftercare: swimming, showering and general upkeep to keep lashes looking full. Training covers sanitary technique and product choices that won’t irritate the eyes, an especially important consideration given how delicate that area of the face is.
