1. You’ve Mastered the Fundamentals—and Beyond You’ve spent months (or years) honing classic and volume techniques. Your fills are seamless, your removal is precise, and you troubleshoot without breaking a sweat. If other lash artist friends ask you for tips more than you’re asking them, you’re ready to flip the script and make teaching part of your day-to-day.
2. You Feel a Deep, Persistent Desire to Share
Every time you innovate a new styling tweak or discover a better way to prep natural lashes, you catch yourself thinking, 'I have to tell someone about this.' That itch to pass on knowledge—and see that spark in someone else’s eyes—is a core trait of great educators.
3. Your Client Roster Is Healthy—and Growing
Before you invite others into your chair for a demo, make sure yours is consistently full. If you’re comfortably booking out at least 70–80% of your available slots each week, you can carve out teaching days without sacrificing your own service income.
4. You’re Hungry for Additional Income Streams Lash services alone can plateau—especially if you cap your working hours. If you’re eyeing new revenue that doesn’t depend on adding more clients to your schedule, teaching and course-creation can multiply your earnings without burning you out behind the chair.
5. You’ve Developed a Signature Style or Niche
Whether it’s a unique mega-volume fan technique or a more eco-friendly lash line, having a recognizable specialty gives students a reason to enrol specifically in your classes.
6. You’re Comfortable Explaining Complex Steps Clearly
Teaching isn’t just doing—it’s breaking down each motion, tool choice, and troubleshooting trick in a way that makes sense to someone seeing it for the first time. If you regularly coach friends or junior techs—and they 'get it' quickly—that’s a sign you’ve got the communication chops to teach.
7. You’re Ready to Invest in Your Own Growth—Again Becoming an educator means new skills: presentation techniques, curriculum design, even basic marketing for your courses. If you’re excited (not daunted) by booking training in adult-learning principles or investing in a good camera and lighting setup for virtual demos, you’ve got the educator mindset.
