Month 1: Classic Lashes (In-Person)
Launch your journey with the cornerstone of the lash industry. Training face-to-face with our expert educators, you will master the foundational mechanics of precision lash isolation, safe weight distribution, adhesive control, and flawless extension placement.
Month 2: Threading (In-Person)
Diversify your skill set by stepping into the lucrative world of brows. In this hands-on class, you will master the ancient art of precision hair removal and basic brow shaping, creating the perfect foundation for your upcoming advanced brow treatments.
Month 3: Volume Lashes (In-Person)
Ready to elevate your artistry? Now that your foundational lash skills are second nature, you’ll step into the advanced world of multi-lash fan creation and high-drama styling, cementing your status as a premium lash artist.
Month 4: Microblading (In-Person)
Welcome to the premium world of Semi-Permanent Makeup (PMU). In this intensive face-to-face masterclass, you will learn the exact manual hair-stroke techniques required to build hyper-realistic, long-lasting brows for your clients.
Month 5: Ombre Brows (In-Person)
Take your PMU business to the next level. Building directly on your mapping and blading knowledge, this practical masterclass introduces machine-shading techniques to give your clients that highly requested, soft, powdered makeup look.
Month 6: PMU Practice (Buffer Month)
Because permanent makeup demands absolute precision and a strict healing cycle, this month features zero new classes. Instead, you will focus entirely on running your intensive Microblading and Ombre Brow model touch-ups under the close, face-to-face guidance of your Educator.
Month 7: Dermaplaning (In-Person)
Diversify your business beyond eyes and enter high-end aesthetics. This hands-on skincare masterclass teaches you how to safely use a surgical-grade scalpel to exfoliate the skin and remove fine vellus hair, giving your clients an instant, radiant glow.
Month 8: Certification Completion
Your final month is your dedicated runway to greatness. Use this time on the academy floor to complete your live model assessments, iron out any fine-tuning questions with your Educator, secure your certifications, and graduate as an elite Stella professional!
