Lash Retention 101 Online Course
Master the Science of Lash Retention & Boost Your Client Retention.
Lash Retention 101 Online comprises 45 expert technique and theory-based tutorials spread over 7 modules covering the A-Z of lash retention.
Facilitated by award-winning educator Joy Crossingham, this course has been created to assist Lash Stylists of all experience levels to understand (and master) the science of lash retention, which ultimately means Client Retention.
During the course, Joy draws on her extensive experience to teach you what actually works, what doesn't, and how to troubleshoot like a professional so you're always in control no matter what the situation is!
No more jumping on lash forums asking questions like "Help! All my client's extensions fell out, and I don't know why?" To then receive 50 comments of advice (all contradicting one another) from people you don't know before the thread turns nasty as they often do on those forums.
No more giving out free refill after free refill when your products or techniques are not to blame for your client's poor retention.
After completing this course, you will know if a client's retention issues have been caused by you, by them, your products or something else.
Most importantly, you will know how to quickly correct it to prevent it from happening again and again and again!
Lash Retention 101 Online was created for:
- Lash stylists who want a deeper understanding of what truly affects their client's lash retention.
- Lash stylists who are tired of feeling forced into giving free refills for retention issues that aren't their fault, but they're unsure how to educate their clients correctly.
- Lash stylists who want to improve their lash retention to see a boost in their client retention.
By completing this course, you'll have a rock-solid understanding of all the factors that can affect your client's lash retention.
Most importantly, you'll know how to troubleshoot when things go wrong to identify the true cause of your client's lash retention disaster so you can prevent it from happening again.

Back in 2019, I attended Lash Joy's 2 Day Volume Lash Course. I travelled all the way from Canada to take the course and I am so thankful I did! Joy's training is thorough, inspiring and her technique, I still use to this day. Not only was the course itself life changing to my lash career, but the experience of meeting Joy has left a positive impact on my life. She really is Joy! I can't recommend this class enough, and I have attended many Master Lash classes over my almost 13 year long lash career- none have come close to Joy's teaching.

I'm so happy you got so much value from your time with me. I hope to see you again one day, perhaps if I get myself over to Canada we can catch up and talk about lashes and life :)

The 1 Day Lash Lift course was so much fun. Joy taught us the steps, application and differences in eyelash rods to achieve different curls. Having 3 models in 1 day helped me improve and remember the steps really well. Thank you Joy!
