On 27/03 you will follow a group lesson together with a maximum of three other students. This gives you the opportunity to learn and practice in a small-scale and personal setting. One month before the practical day: From 27 February you will have access to the theoretical part of the course in our online learning platform. Here you can already go through all the theory and prepare yourself. You also have access to a PDF document with all the exam questions and the corresponding answers, so that you can already study them.

On the practice day, March 27:

• We start the day with an hour of theory: Charissa will review the most important parts of the theory and take your exam. The exam questions are exactly the same as in the document available on the online learning platform.

• After the theory and practical exam, you will start working on a dummy: This will help you become familiar with the techniques.

• Then it's lunchtime: We'll provide a delicious lunch, so you don't have to bring anything!

• After lunch you will work on models: It is important to bring a model yourself. This is someone who is willing to be your model and on whom you can practice. Of course Charissa will guide you step by step and you will get a good hands-on training.

Certificate and extra support: At the end of the day we will conclude with the awarding of certificates. In addition, you will continue to have access to our online learning platform for three months, where you can find the following materials:

1. Theoretische Technieken:
Je start met een uitgebreide theoretische basis waarin je alles leert over:

• Hygiëne, gezondheid en veiligheid: hoe je werkt in een schone en veilige omgeving, en hoe je infecties en andere risico’s voorkomt.
• Contra-indicaties en aandoeningen: het herkennen van situaties waarin wimperextensions niet geschikt zijn, zoals bij bepaalde ooginfecties of allergieën.
• Inzicht in hechtmiddelen: welke lijmen je gebruikt, hoe je deze correct aanbrengt en hoe om te gaan met verschillende droogtijden en ingrediënten.
• Kameromstandigheden en wimpergroei: hoe temperatuur, luchtvochtigheid en andere omgevingsfactoren de hechting en duurzaamheid van de extensions beïnvloeden.
• Pincetopties en gebruikstechnieken: welk type pincet geschikt is voor verschillende technieken en hoe je deze op de juiste manier vasthoudt en gebruikt.
• Soorten wimperextensions: inzicht in verschillende materialen, diktes, lengtes en krultypes en hoe je deze combineert voor verschillende stijlen.
• Oppaktechnieken voor wimperextensions: hoe je wimpers correct oppakt zonder beschadiging, en hoe je ze nauwkeurig aanbrengt.
• Oogvormanalyse en styling: hoe je oogvormen herkent en daarop je styling aanpast om het mooiste resultaat te bereiken.
• Mapping van de wimpers: het plannen van de plaatsing van de extensions voor een symmetrisch en natuurlijk ogend resultaat.
• Aftercare voor wimperextensions: hoe je klanten adviseert over het verzorgen van hun wimpers om de levensduur van de extensions te verlengen.

2. Praktische Technieken:
Na het theoretische gedeelte ga je aan de slag met praktische oefeningen, zowel op een oefenhoofd als op een model. Je leert:

• Isolatietechnieken: hoe je natuurlijke wimpers zorgvuldig isoleert om te voorkomen dat meerdere wimpers aan elkaar plakken.
• Applicatietechnieken: het correct aanbrengen van wimperextensions met verschillende technieken, zoals de one-by-one techniek en het creëren van volume met fan lashes.
• Correct oppakken en vasthechten van wimpers: hoe je de extensions oppakt en met precisie aan de natuurlijke wimper bevestigt.
• Werken met verschillende oogvormen: aanpassen van je techniek afhankelijk van de unieke oogvorm van je klant voor een flatterend effect.
• Styling en het creëren van verschillende looks: van natuurlijke tot dramatische stijlen, afhankelijk van de voorkeur van de klant.
• Correctie- en verwijdertechnieken: hoe je wimperextensions veilig verwijdert of corrigeert zonder de natuurlijke wimpers te beschadigen.
• Gebruik van hulpmiddelen en accessoires: hoe je werkt met tape, microbrushes en andere tools voor een efficiënte en nauwkeurige applicatie.

3. Ondersteunend Materiaal:
Naast de praktijktraining krijg je toegang tot een gedetailleerde video-demo, waarin alle technieken stap voor stap worden uitgelegd. Dit materiaal blijft beschikbaar na de opleiding, zodat je de behandelingen op elk moment opnieuw kunt bekijken en je technieken kunt verfijnen.

4. Oefening op Modellen:
In de middag pas je alle geleerde technieken toe op een echt model. Onder begeleiding van een ervaren docent voer je een volledige wimperbehandeling uit, waarbij je directe feedback en persoonlijke begeleiding krijgt.

On the first day of practice we start with a practical exam, which will be taken during the first lesson.

We have deliberately placed the exam questions on our online learning platform in advance, so that you can study them thoroughly and fully focus on the essential knowledge to carry out a treatment in a safe and professional manner.

However, our online learning platform offers much more information than just the knowledge required for the exam. For example, you will find additional background information on techniques, materials and the history of certain treatments.

Although this knowledge is certainly valuable to further develop yourself as a beauty professional, we have chosen to limit the exam questions to the most essential aspects that you really need to know to perform a good treatment.

For example, you don't need to know the history of eyelash extensions or the anatomical names of the eyelid or eyelashes to apply a perfect set of lashes.

We focus on theory that is directly applied in practice to your work.

After the exam, we will go over all the questions and answers in class. This gives you the chance to clarify the most important points repeatedly by taking any ambiguities. This way, we ensure that everyone is fully prepared for the practical part.

At the end of the practical day you will receive a certificate in recognition of your efforts and as proof of the skills you have demonstrated.
