From Student to Studio Owner: The Honest Lash Path to Success
At Honest Lash, we believe that beauty professionals deserve more than just a license—they deserve a clear, empowered path to success. That’s why we created a program that takes you from student to studio owner, combining world-class training with real business ownership. Whether you're brand new to the industry or looking to pivot your career, Honest Lash offers everything you need to grow with confidence.
Step 1: Learn the Craft at Honest Lash University
Your journey begins at Honest Lash University, our certified training program located in Austin, Texas. Students complete Lash Specialty Curriculum, learning the fundamentals of:
Classic and volume lash extensions
Lash lifts and tints
Brow design and shaping
Sanitation, safety, and client care
Business and customer service essentials
Our hands-on training includes practice with mannequins and live models, plus digital coursework through Milady’s industry-leading online learning platform. By graduation, you're not just certified—you’re confident.
"Honest Lash University gave me everything I needed to step into the lash world feeling prepared. The mentorship and structure made all the difference."
Step 2: Launch Your Own Honest Lash Studio
Once licensed, you’re ready to take the leap into business ownership with the Own Your Own Honest Lash program. For a one-time investment of $5,000, you receive a turnkey studio business, including:
Fully branded lash suite through our salon suite partners (Sola, Phenix, My Salon Suite, etc.)

Protected territory in your chosen market
We make it easy to go from graduate to boss with ongoing support and optional business memberships for inventory, tech tools, and advanced coaching.
"I finished training and had my own Honest Lash studio open within 90 days. The support & structure gave me a roadmap—& the confidence to follow it."
Step 3: Grow with the Honest Lash Community
Once your studio is open, you're never on your own. Our team provides continued guidance, marketing tips, and access to community events like the Annual Lashion Show, where you can showcase your skills, connect with peers, and even win awards for lash artistry and business excellence.
