Upskill this Spring
If you’re considering adding a new technique to your résumé for 2016, Baam Cosmetics are offering a host of training options this Spring. From the creators of Lash Perfect, LoLa Brows is a new salon and Spa treatment which sculpts and builds the brow with bespoke colour for three dimensional brows to frame and shape the face, lasting up to three weeks. “Waterproof and smudge-proof, LoLa Brows achieves a result akin to semi-permanent make-up without the need for needles, it’s totally non-invasive and takes around 30 minutes to complete,” explains Anne Woods of Baam Cosmetics. In addition, Lash Perfect has created an advanced new training course that provides therapists with the skill and theory involved in multi-lash techniques – Russian Layering and Tahitian Feathering. The course is only open to certified Lash Perfect technicians; however, assessment courses are available for certified trainers who are not Lash Perfect trained. For colleges interested in semi-permanent eyelash training, Lash Perfect has teamed up with Lash FX to offer a full day accredited course. The training consists of a starter kit with all products required by the students to become an expert. For more information, contact Baam Cosmetics on 01 4507 573.
