After graduation from an aesthetic education program, many certified estheticians have a wide span of career prospects within salons, spas and entrepreneurship. Through Miss Priss Lash and Brow, continuing education courses and certifications equip licensed professionals with a comprehensive guide for starting or expanding a lash and brow business, with opportunities to gain additional hands-on practice in leading eyelash and eyebrow services.
South Sound Professionals Combine Business and Beauty at Miss Priss Lash and Brow Academy
The coursework available through the Miss Priss Lash and Brow Academy is geared toward aspiring business owners who have already earned an esthetician or master esthetician license, especially professionals who have had exposure to different roles and responsibilities within the beauty industry. Jin Mi Williams, instructor for Miss Priss Lash and Brow Academy, says this prior experience may be from spending time as a salon employee, or renting space from a salon, and through the academy, professionals can continue to build upon any prior familiarity with salon vocabulary and common beauty practices.
Williams has more than 20 years of experience in the beauty field, including as a licensed esthetician, makeup artist and owner of the Olympia-based salon, Miss Priss Lash and Brow. Williams created the Miss Priss Lash and Brow Academy to be a personalized guide and local asset for beauty professionals interested in building their business. And through a “small business to small business” approach, students receive relevant guidance and practical applications, information that Williams didn’t have on hand when branching out as a beauty entrepreneur.
The Miss Priss Lash and Brow Academy Offers Beauty Professionals a Comprehensive Online Curriculum
The Miss Priss Lash and Brow Academy has three learning package options that feature lessons, activities and downloadable audio tracks, in addition to individual and group meetings. According to Williams, first-time business owners may be interested in operating a salon, but might not know where to begin. The Miss Priss Lash and Brow Academy covers the necessary procedures for opening a business in the State of Washington, including an overview of relevant paperwork and licensing.
Williams adds that this course may help continuing education students to consider elements that many new business owners initially overlook and may help prevent common pitfalls that can sometimes plague young entrepreneurs. This may range from creating a proper client consent form, to establishing a hiring process for salon employees, to writing an employee handbook.
Online coursework includes a four-part online module with accompanying worksheets that explore day-to-day considerations, including a new salon’s workflow, layout ideas and tools necessary for lash and brow applications. Through these lessons, students can also build a solid foundation in fiscal matters, including how to set and reach financial milestones and crafting a marketing plan that can help students to build lasting relationships with clients.
Students will also be invited to a private Facebook group where they can build community with fellow aspiring business owners, ask questions and discuss the challenges and triumphs of starting a new business. Students can also select from packages that provide additional resources for aspiring business owners, as well as options for one-on-one mentorship to further discuss and review course concepts.
Through Miss Priss Lash and Brow, Professionals Can Refresh or Expand Skill Set
Adopting a diverse range of lash and brow techniques can help serve a larger client base, while also providing flexibility for business owners to tailor their services to the needs of the clients, or even certain times of the year. And through Miss Priss Lash and Brow, licensed professionals may choose continuing education courses and certifications for popular eyelash and eyebrow services, including classic lash extensions, volume lash extensions, as well as lash lift, lash tint and brow lamination. According to Williams, training for these services may act as a refresher for some students, or may help bridge learning gaps for students who did not get exposure to these services in their initial esthetician program.
Eyelash extensions are adhered individually to a client’s natural eyelashes to help accentuate the eye. The Classic Lash Extensions Course offers recorded lessons, supplies, a written manual, in-person instruction and mentorship to help aspiring salon owners refine their craft. The Volume Lash Extensions Course is ideal for continuing education students who want to learn more advanced eyelash extension practices.
Eyelash lifts and tints can help define the eye by creating a semi-permanent curl. This may be ideal for clients who have certain allergies, or those who are in search of a more carefree beauty routine, according to Williams. Through a chemical process, brow lamination forms brow hairs into a shape that suits a client’s unique facial structure and style. The Brow Lamination + Lash Lift Course also contains video lessons, supplies, a written manual, in-person instruction and mentorship that covers application and safety for these popular treatments.
Williams says continuing education courses offer an additional layer of trust for potential clients. Business owners can be certain in their skill set and clients can rest easy knowing that their esthetician is educated in the proper application tools, reputable products and application practices that were refined over time and through repeated practice. Williams adds that a combination of online and hands-on training provides added support for continuing education students, rather than learning from non-personalized online tutorials. Continuing education students will receive real time feedback, while also learning ways to manage any potential complications that may arise.
