Russian Lash Course

(Pre-Made & Hand-Made Fan Techniques)

Our Russian Volume Lash Extensions Course has been designed to provide learners with the theoretical knowledge, practical competence and professional confidence required to safely create beautiful, lightweight and long-lasting Russian volume lash extensions using both pre-made and hand-made fan techniques.

This comprehensive programme combines evidence-based theory with practical hands-on training, enabling learners to master advanced volume lash application whilst maintaining the health and integrity of the natural lashes. Whether you are looking to expand your existing lash services or specialise in luxury volume lashes, this course equips you with the skills required to create bespoke, high-quality lash sets tailored to every client.

Throughout the course, learners will develop an in-depth understanding of eyelash anatomy, the natural lash growth cycle, consultation techniques, lash styling and treatment planning. Students will learn how to assess eye shapes, select appropriate lash curls, lengths and diameters, and create customised volume sets using both pre-made and handmade fans.

Practical training focuses on creating symmetrical, lightweight volume fans, perfect isolation, adhesive control and precision placement. Learners will understand when to use pre-made fans for efficiency and consistency, and when handmade fans offer greater flexibility and bespoke styling.
