How Stylists, Cosmetologists, and Estheticians Can Boost Their Profit by Adding Lash Services

If you’re already a licensed cosmetologist or esthetician, you’re sitting on one of the biggest untapped profit opportunities in the beauty industry: lash services. From lash extensions to lifts, tints, and brow design, these add-on services are quick to learn, easy to implement, and extremely profitable.
Whether you rent a chair, own a salon suite, or are working behind the chair, expanding your menu with lash services can help you increase your revenue per client, attract new bookings, and grow your business without adding long hours or high overhead.
Let’s break down why every beauty professional should consider adding lash services—and how you can start.

Why Lashes?

The lash industry has exploded in recent years—and it’s not slowing down. Clients are looking for low-maintenance, high-impact services that help them feel confident and camera-ready at all times. Lashes fit that need perfectly.

Plus, lash services:
​
Take up less time per client than hair or skin services
Require minimal product cost
Offer repeat business every 2–3 weeks
Are in high demand in both urban and suburban markets
Complement your existing services beautifully
Services You Can Add and Profit

1. Lash Extensions

Offer Classic, Hybrid, or Volume lash extensions customized to your client’s eye shape, style, and desired look.

Price Range: $120–$250 per full set
Fills: $60–$100 every 2–3 weeks
Time per service: 1.5–2.5 hours
Profit Margin: 75–90% after product cost

2. Lash Lift + Tint

Perfect for clients who want a natural, low-maintenance look without extensions. A lash lift curls the natural lashes and a tint adds definition.

Price Range: $75–$125
Time per service: 45–60 minutes
Repeat business: Every 6–8 weeks
Profit Margin: Extremely high with low product cost

3. Brow Design & Tint

Brows are the frame of the face—and bundling brow services with lash appointments is an easy upsell.

Price Range: $30–$75
Time per service: 20–30 minutes
Combo potential: Add to any lash service to boost total ticket

How This Grows Your Income (Without Burning Out)

Let’s say you add just 2 lash extension clients and 3 lift + tint clients per week. That’s potentially:
$500–$700 in additional revenue with only 8–10 extra hours of work
And very low product cost (no expensive color lines or machines)
You can stack lash clients between longer hair or facial appointments, offer express services on slow days, or build a dedicated lash client base over time.
