4 Best Places to Get Your Lash License in Dallas and Kickstart Your Career

  • Expertise: We chose lash schools that meet Texas licensing requirements and employ licensed instructors with years of hands-on experience.
  • Flexibility: We considered schools that offer part-time, evening, or weekend classes for students balancing busy schedules.
  • Reputation: We looked at reviews, graduate feedback, and how many students passed exams and built successful lash careers.
  • Value for Money: We factored in tuition costs, included supplies, and payment plans to make sure students get the most bang for their buck.

A friend of mine wanted to get her lash license, but she was nervous. She’d heard all the horror stories about licensing scams, strict exams, confusing rules—you name it.

So, I offered to help her do some digging, and together we found the best spots in Dallas to get licensed. Fast forward a few months to when I stopped by her new beauty salon, and she gave me a gorgeous set of lashes—for free!

If you’ve been thinking about becoming a lash artist, too, here are some of the top Dallas lash licensing spots to check out.

Lash Rx has won Best Lash Extensions four times in Addison and has trained over 1,750 lash professionals. They’re led by Master Licensed Eyelash Instructor Zeina Turner, who brings over 14 years of experience to the table.

Their flagship program is the 3-Day Eyelash Certification Training Course. In just three days, students can become a Certified Lash Stylist while learning three lash styles—Classic, Hybrid, and Volume.

We love their flexibility, too, offering both weekday and weekend training options. They even provide 1 free follow-up training within 90 days of your course.

Now, for salon owners or teams, they have private group training. Their instructors will actually travel to your spa or salon if you register 4 to 6 people.

The only downside is that they’re a tad pricey.

    Wonderful learning experience

    “Wonderful learning experience. The teacher was didactic and logically presented the information, but also utilized applied learning by having the learner handle a mannequin and a live model.” — Linda Ford, Google Review

    Attentive and caring instructor

    “Zeina! What can I say about Zeina and the lash training class? I’ve never had such an attentive and caring instructor. She took the time to make sure you were well-versed in the care and maintenance of lashes. The training was very thorough. I was so intimidated by taking this class, but Zeina assured me I would be successful. And I was just that! Thank you, Zeina, for taking such good care of me and the others.” — Debra Polk, Google Review

    iLash Beauty University is another go-to lash license spot in Dallas, with expert instructors who will guide you from the basics to advanced lash techniques.

    Their 320-hour Eyelash Extension Program is TDLR-approved and covers it all—rules and safety, lash growth cycles, chemistry, eye shapes, and tons of hands-on practice. Most of your hours are spent actually applying, isolating, and perfecting lashes.

    You’ll also get extras like a starter kit, a mini course on hybrid and volume lashes, as well as marketing tips and tricks to help you build your business.

    Plus, full-time or part-time, day or night, they’ve got options to fit almost any schedule.

      Founded in 2018, 3D Lash and Brow Salon and Academy was designed with working adults in mind. Their biggest bragging right is their 100% State Board passing rate!

      We like that they’re pretty affordable. For instance, their Brow Lamination and Lash Lift & Tint Master Classes are just $159, and they include a training manual, tutorial videos, consent forms, an exam, a certificate of completion, and even product info.

      Beyond that, they offer a wide range of programs and certifications, like their Specialty Lash, Classic Lash, Volume Lash, and Lash Lifts and Brow Lamination. There’s even an online certification option for those who prefer to learn from home.

      Sadly, we heard reports of teachers giving unclear instructions. This might be a drawback if you prefer very structured, step-by-step teaching.

      Pros

      • Over 7 years of experience
      • Has a 100% State Board passing rate
      • Offers affordable classes
      • Has a wide range of lash programs

      Cons

      • Reports of unclear instructions

        Instructors are very thorough and knowledgeable!

        “Attending for my specialty Lash license. The instructors are very thorough and knowledgeable! I’m glad to be a part of the 3D LASH AND BROW FAMILY ❤️”

         — Lakeydra Rivers, Google Review

        Very knowledgeable about TDLR rules & regulations

        “I really enjoyed attending this school. My teachers were very knowledgeable about TDLR rules & regulations and provided great feedback when completing hands-on assignments. My lead instructor was very encouraging and helped motivate me to do my best. Miss Mae was very polite and helpful during the process of scheduling exams and responding to my email when I needed any assistance or had a question. This is a great school to attend, and it was a wonderful experience for me !!! I appreciate everything I learned from the instructors.” — S Jenkins, Google Review

        Learn.LASH.Repeat Training Academy’s name says it all—lashing is about practice, repetition, and perfecting your artistry over time. Since 2016, this cosmetology school has been educating beauty lovers and aspiring entrepreneurs.

        Their most popular program is the Eyelash Extension Specialty License, a 320-hour course that can be taken part-time or full-time. It combines plenty of hands-on practice with theory to help you pass your state exam.

        For those ready to level up, they offer LashMaxx Volume Training, which focuses on advanced volume techniques for fuller, more dramatic sets.

        Several related learning options are available as well—Ilumino Lashes, Maven Artistry Face Studies, and Lux Uncut Volume Artistry Training.

        Despite their wide range of course offerings, we heard from students that some of their equipment seems outdated. This could be a huge letdown for some.

        Pros

        • Over 9 years of experience
        • Offers an Eyelash Extension Specialty License
        • Provides LashMaxx Volume Training
        • Wide range of lash license courses

        Cons

        •   Reports of outdated equipment

          The best decision I made to get my license 🙂

          “I graduated in July 2021 and had such a good experience here at LLR. I did a hybrid program where the first few weeks are online and the remaining hours are in person. I’m an elementary teacher and felt the online homework was doable. I liked how the program is pretty self-paced. Milly was and continues to be such a great asset. Choosing LLR was the best decision I made to get my license :)” — Maria Adame, Google Review

          One of the best decisions I ever made!

          “The passion is real for lashes! I love love love how hands-on and informative Learn. Lash.Repeat is I couldn’t have picked a better school to get educated and licensed through one of the best decisions I ever made!” — josephine avina, Google Review
