Qualifications

What qualifications are needed for applying false eyelashes?

Due to strict Illinois Laws governing the application of eyelash extensions, a technician must PERSONALLY hold a professional license issued from The Illinois Board of Regulations. Since the procedure involves using pharmaceutical grade lash adhesive- the utmost care needs to be considered around the eyes.

A certified makeup artist or someone who only has a eyelash extensions training certification is not lawfully qualified to do individual lashes in Chicago, Illinois.  The same rules apply for anyone providing lash extension classes. Around 2012, the Department of Financial and Professional Regulations wrote our salon to explain that persons applying false eyelashes must be licensed.

As your Price Shopping for Eyelash Extensions think about this: it’s smart to look for a good deal on lashes. Unfortunately, a super low price does not always mean best quality . Our team always considers the safety of your eyes first.

We at Chicago Lashes, have noticed a significant rise in the number of people who have come to us for an emergency removal because an unqualified person did a horrendous job. We can fix your lashes if this has happened to you.

What’s the difference between a license and a lashes training certification?

Certifications are usually provided through a few day workshop offered from a private company. A license is only issued from a State. Gaining licensure means completing clinical hours from an approved school and passing the State Boards Exam.

Our staff also includes licensed nail techs to perform manicures, as well as nail services.

Many eyelash extension salons in Chicago and surrounding areas offer phenomenal services. When you get your lashes done, you want to make sure that the technician has the necessary qualifications, as well as the proper training. Contact our beauty salon to schedule an appointment.
