Lash techs: Is becoming a lash artist still worth it in 2026?

I’m considering training as a lash technician, but before spending money on courses and supplies, I’d love to hear from people actually working in the industry.

  1. How long did it take to start earning?
  2. How much did you spend to become a lash tech?
  3. Is there still good demand for lash extensions in 2026, or has the market become too saturated?
  4. Can you realistically make a decent living doing lashes full-time, especially as an independent lash tech renting a room/bed rather than owning a salon?
  5. Would you choose this career again if you were starting today?
