Training

One-on-one VIP lash extension training. South Jersey. Bilingual.

A three-day intensive built around what you actually need to learn — not a generic mass class. Plus three months of post-course mentorship to keep you moving while you build your first clients.

Who this is for

Designed for two specific artists.

If you fit one of these, the curriculum will be built around what you're actually missing — not a generic syllabus.

Yes — this is for you if

  • You're brand new and want to skip the bad-habit phase that ruins retention
  • You're an intermediate artist hitting a plateau on retention or speed
  • You speak Portuguese and want a course in your first language
  • You want a mentor who answers your texts during the first 90 days, not a closed-out cohort

Not for you if

  • You want a one-day weekend certificate and a complimentary kit
  • You expect to leave with 80 paying clients booked — that part is on you
  • You want a generic franchise curriculum that ignores your hand and your eye
  • You're not willing to practice on mannequins for the four weeks before working on people
The curriculum

Six modules. Three days in studio.

Each module is built into the in-studio days, then revisited in the post-course mentorship period. You leave with a workbook, video references, and a pre-saved set of supplier links.

  • Lash anatomy, hygiene protocols, allergens, contraindications, and the consent conversation.

    We cover the parts of training most people skip: which anatomy decisions affect retention, why sanitation isn't optional, how to spot an allergic reaction in real time, and the script for the consent conversation that protects you legally.

  • What to buy, what to skip, and how to read humidity.

    A walkthrough of the eight tools that actually matter, the four common purchases that waste money, and how to read humidity in your studio so your adhesive cures predictably year-round.

  • Eye shape, set construction, and pre-set sketching.

    How to read an eye in 30 seconds, sketch your set before you load the strip, and explain your design choices to a client in language she actually understands.

  • Isolation, placement, and the retention principles that separate two-week fills from four-week fills.

    The mechanical fundamentals — isolation cleanliness, base placement, weight balance — practiced on mannequins until your hand stops shaking.

  • Fan-making, weight balance, and density logic.

    Both pinch and pickup methods, how to balance weight across the lash line, and the density logic that lets you build full volume sets without overloading the natural lash.

  • Pricing, booking systems, photography, client retention.

    How to price for designer-level work, set up a booking system that doesn't bury you in admin, photograph your work in a way that actually gets clients, and build a retention practice clients want to come back to.

What's included

Three days in the studio. Three months of texts.

The course price covers the in-studio intensive, a starter kit, certification, and three months of direct-text mentorship after you leave. Most graduates use the mentorship most heavily in the first 30 days as they take their first paying clients.

  • Three days in the Marlton studio

    9am–5pm with one hour for lunch. Maximum two trainees per cohort so each gets real one-on-one time.

  • Starter kit

    Tweezers (isolation + volume), adhesive, primer, gel pads, mannequin, and the supplier list for everything that wears out.

  • Workbook + video library

    Printed workbook plus access to the studio's recorded technique library — your reference for the first 90 days.

  • Three months of mentorship

    Direct text access for technique questions, set photos for review, and pricing/business questions as you take your first paying clients.

  • Certification

    Twenty Eight Studio certification on completion. Recognized by the studio for hire-back and referral relationships.

Training questions

What applicants ask before they commit.

  • No. The course is designed to fit either brand-new artists or working artists hitting a plateau. We tailor the in-studio time to where you're starting from.

  • Sim. The whole intensive — instruction, workbook, mentorship texts — happens in English or Brazilian Portuguese. We schedule cohorts in one language at a time.

  • We run small cohorts roughly every six to eight weeks. The application form is the fastest way to see what's currently available.

  • No — the starter kit is included. If you already own tools, bring them and we'll calibrate around what you're used to.

  • Yes — recognized by Twenty Eight Studio for hire-back and referral relationships. New Jersey does not require state certification for lash extensions, but most insurers accept course completion documentation.

  • Direct text access for 90 days. Send set photos for review, ask about retention or pricing problems, get unstuck on specific clients. Most graduates use it most heavily in the first 30 days.
