Semi-Permanent Mascara

This new treatment adds length, colour, curl and volume to your clients’ natural lashes.

It is 100% waterproof making it perfect for holidays, special occasions or just to save time if you have a busy lifestyle. It lasts from 2-6 weeks and natural wear and tear, loss of natural lashes will require the client to return for touch ups. Lash extensions fall out, tints fade and strip lashes need constant re-application so this may well be the perfect solution for many clients. Application time will vary from 30-60 minutes depending on the finished look your client desires, from natural to Glam! It can be applied to lower lashes as well. Clients are required for this course to allow you maximum practical time.
Course cost is £100
A kit is required for training. The costs vary depending on whether you are semi-permanent lash trained. They range from £79 to £149. Please call the centre to place your order.
