How to Become a Lash Artist in the US & Canada (Even If You're Starting From Scratch) 💕👁️

You’ve fallen in love with lashes—and now you’re ready to turn that passion into a paycheck.
But where do you start?
If you’re in the US or Canada, the path to becoming a lash artist isn’t always clear. Do you need a license? Is online study accepted? Will clients trust your work without a traditional beauty school background?
Let’s break it all down—because yes, you can build a booked-out lash business starting with just an internet connection and the right online course.
💻 Can You Become a Lash Tech Through Online Training?
Absolutely. Thousands of lash artists are launching successful beauty businesses through flexible, at-home learning—and many of them are doing it right here at Bombshell Beauty Academy.

Whether you're in New York or Nashville, Toronto or Vancouver, you can access internationally-recognised certification, 24/7 course access, and a global network of beauty bosses.
🇺🇸 Do You Need a License to Do Lashes in the US?
In most US states, yes—you’ll need either a cosmetology or esthetician license to legally offer lash services. But don’t worry—many students still take our courses before or alongside their licensing education to:
✨ Build their skills
✨ Grow their confidence
✨ Start practicing safely at home
✨ Get a certificate that boosts their portfolio
🇨🇦 What About Canada?
In most Canadian provinces, you don’t need a government license to become a lash artist. However, to build a reputable business, clients will expect to see:
✔️ Professional training
✔️ Certificates of completion
✔️ Safe, hygienic lash application

Our online lash lift, tint, and extensions courses check all of those boxes—and then some.
