Find a training provider in your area. See resources for some eyelash training providers in the United States. Opt for private lessons as this will ensure that the trainer is able to guide you step by step and watch you closely to prevent you from making any mistakes or from interpreting instructions in a wrong way. Ensure that the workshop program covers safety procedures, touch up procedures, practical training and provide you with information about products, glues and adhesives.
