Most people who want to become a lash artist do not fail because they cannot apply a lash. They fail because they finish a one-day course with a certificate, no mentor, and no idea what to do when a client’s extensions fall off in a week.
Training at Astise is built the other way around. Here is what the courses actually cover, what they cost, and how to work out where you should start.
Beginner: Classic and Light Volume — $2,200
This is the full foundation course, delivered over three days: one day online followed by two days in person at the Rosebery studio. The blended format means the theory is done before you arrive, so your in-person time is spent with lashes in your hands rather than in a slideshow.
What is included:
- Blended delivery with hands-on experience
- Industry-recognised certification
- Personalised guidance rather than a room of twenty students
- Flexible learning around the online component
- A full kit
- 30 days of active mentoring after the course
- A final exam, completed in person or by submission
That 30-day mentoring window is the part that matters most. The first month after training is when everything you did not think to ask comes up, and it is the difference between a certificate and a working skill.
Advanced: Volume Precision — $1,100
A one-day, in-person course, and the natural next step once you have mastered classic and light volume work.
The focus is handmade fans: building them consistently, quickly and cleanly. Beyond the fans themselves, the day covers more complex styling, speed and efficiency, and troubleshooting the specific habits holding your own work back — which is only possible in a small-group setting where someone is actually watching how you work.
UV Lash Glue System — $1,100
Suitable at any level, in person. UV curing systems are a genuinely different way of working, and this course covers reduced sensitivity and reactions, precise application, and the efficiency gains that come with a cured adhesive.
If you have clients who react to traditional adhesives, or you want faster, more controlled application, this is the one to look at.
Eye Styling — $1,100
Advanced level. Technique gets you a full set; styling gets you a client who comes back.
This course covers designing customised looks for different eye shapes, building versatile styling skills, and the artistic side of the work — the part that turns a competent set into one that suits the face it is on. It is also the clearest competitive edge available to a lash artist in a crowded market.
Which course should you start with?
If you have never lashed before, start with the Beginner course. Everything else assumes you can already apply and retain a classic set.
If you are already working and your retention or speed is the problem, Volume Precision or the UV glue system will move the needle faster than another foundation course. If your sets are technically fine but your clients are not rebooking, Eye Styling is usually the gap.
If you are not sure, book a consultation call and talk it through before you spend anything.
Where you will train
Courses run from the Astise studio at The Cannery, 61–71 Mentmore Avenue, Rosebery NSW 2018 — Level 1, inside XO Brows, above Messina. Training is deliberately kept small, so what you get is personalised guidance rather than a lecture.
You can see the full course list on the training page, or book a consultation call to work out which one fits where you are now.
