Online vs Face-to-Face Lash Training: Which One is Best?

If you’re serious about becoming a successful lash technician, one of the biggest decisions you’ll make is how you train — online or face-to-face. On the surface, both options might seem similar. But the difference in quality, confidence, and support is massive.

At Megan Thomas Lash Academy, we believe that nothing compares to the power of in-person, hands-on training, especially when you’re just starting out. And here’s exactly why…

Face-to-Face Training: Where Real Lash Artists Are Made

Lash application is a skilled, delicate art — it can’t be learnt properly through videos alone. Our in-person courses offer far more than just a certificate — they give you the confidence, practical skills and personalised support that online courses simply can’t match.

✅ What Makes In-Person Training So Much Better?

• Hands-on model practice to build real-world confidence from day one

• One-to-one guidance from an award-winning lash educator

• Instant feedback and live technique correction

• Tailored learning pace — we adapt to suit your learning style, not the other way round

• Welcoming, friendly and relaxed environment — no pressure, just support

• Encouraging feedback, positive coaching and a personal connection

• Extra time and attention if you need it — we don’t rush your progress

“Our training isn’t one-size-fits-all — we work with you, side by side, until you feel confident and capable. You’re never just a number here.” – Megan Thomas

You’re Supported Long After Your Course Ends

Our training doesn’t stop when your certificate is printed. At Megan Thomas Lash Academy, we’re proud to offer ongoing support after your course to help you grow, practise and perfect your lash skills.

✔ Submit case studies to get feedback on your technique

✔ Send photos, ask questions, and get direct support from Megan

✔ We’re here to guide you every step of the way — no matter how long it takes

You’ll always feel part of our community — because your success is our priority.

Can Online Training Offer the Same Experience?

❌ Unfortunately, no.

• Online courses lack live feedback, practical supervision, and personal connection

• There’s no educator to spot mistakes, guide your posture, or correct your lash angles

• Most online-only certificates are not accepted by UK insurers or salons

• You may finish the course but still feel unsure or unprepared to take on clients

It’s a common story — students take an online course, then retrain face-to-face just to feel confident. Save yourself the time, money and frustration by starting with proper hands-on training.
