In this course, we will not teach you 4, 5 or 6 different techniques for making fans as that would be far too complicated and unnecessary.

Courses that teach multiple techniques we find can be overwhelming and you typically leave having mastered none of the techniques.

We will teach you the technique Joy personally created that is simple to learn and once perfected is able to be used to create 2D to 8D Volume Fans with ease.

This is the same technique that Joy has used to take out numerous local and international lash competitions and other awards.

It's also the same technique many of our past LashJoy Academy students have used to win countless competitions and awards as well.

Our training is best described as highly “Pracademic”, meaning we teach you not only expert practical application skills but also the essential theory to understand the "why" behind everything we do.

This is how true Lash Professionals are created, expert skill combined with in-depth knowledge.

Our classes are student-focused and capped at 8 students with multiple senior staff involved in the running of each and every course.

Upon completing the course you will receive a “Certificate of Achievement” certifying you as a Volume Eyelash Extension Specialist by Joy Crossingham of LashJoy Academy.
