Turn your love of beauty into a licensed career. BlueWave Lashes offers a hands-on, 270-hour eyelash extension license apprenticeship in Sandy — taught one-on-one by a licensed cosmetologist with over a decade behind the lash bed. Your professional kit is included, and you can start as soon as you’re approved.
Open to anyone · No prior license required · Kit included
Utah now licenses lash professionals through the Eyelash & Eyebrow Technician license — a 270-hour credential the state created to raise the bar on training and client safety. It’s separate from a full cosmetology or esthetics license and built specifically for people who want to specialize in lashes and brows.
You can earn those 270 hours through an approved apprenticeship, and that’s exactly what BlueWave offers. You’ll train hands-on in a working studio, then sit for the state’s written and practical exams. Pass, and you’re a fully licensed Eyelash & Eyebrow Technician in Utah — free to work anywhere in the state or open your own space.
One tuition, no surprise costs. Here’s what’s built into your apprenticeship at BlueWave.
Real training on real clients in a working Sandy studio — classic, hybrid, and volume sets, plus brow work — not a weekend crash course or an online video.
Your $5,000 tuition covers a full professional lash kit. You leave equipped to work — no scrambling to buy supplies before you can take a client.
Once you’re working on your own clients during the apprenticeship, the tips you earn are yours to keep — you’re building income while you learn.
Written and practical mock exams that mirror the real DOPL boards, so you walk into test day already knowing what it feels like to pass.
You learn directly from Nancy — a licensed cosmetologist with 10+ years of lashing — not from a rotating room of assistants.
Most apprentices finish in about six months, but the schedule flexes around your life. Utah allows up to two years to complete your hours.
Four straightforward steps from where you are now to a license in your hand.
You’ll file a quick apprenticeship registration form with the state (about $20). Approval usually comes through in around two weeks — then you’re cleared to start.
Learn the craft hands-on at BlueWave — application, fills, safety and sanitation, consultations, and brow services — building real speed and confidence on real clients.
Before test day, you’ll run through written and practical mock testing so nothing about the state boards catches you off guard.
Sit for Utah’s written and practical exams. Pass, and you’re a licensed Eyelash & Eyebrow Technician — ready to work anywhere in the state.
One flat tuition for the full 270-hour apprenticeship. No separate supply bill — your professional kit is part of the price.
This apprenticeship is open to anyone — no prior license or beauty background required. If any of this sounds like you, you’re a fit.
Ready to leave the job that drains you for work that’s creative, flexible, and yours. Lashing lets you set your own hours and your own income.
Drawn to the beauty world and want a real, licensed specialty — not just a certificate from a weekend course that Utah no longer recognizes.
Planning to build your own lash business. A state license is the foundation that lets you work legally and grow with confidence.
No. The Eyelash & Eyebrow Technician license is its own credential, and this apprenticeship is open to anyone. You do not need any prior license or beauty experience to begin.
Once you file your state apprenticeship registration (about $20), approval typically takes around two weeks. As soon as you’re approved, you can begin your hours at BlueWave.
The license requires 270 hours. Most apprentices complete them in about six months, but the pace is flexible — Utah allows up to two years to finish.
Your tuition covers the full 270-hour apprenticeship, one-on-one mentorship, written and practical mock testing, and a complete professional lash kit. There’s no separate supply cost to get started.
Yes. Once you pass Utah’s written and practical state board exams, you’re a fully licensed Eyelash & Eyebrow Technician and can work anywhere in the state or open your own studio.
Spots are intentionally limited so every apprentice gets real one-on-one attention. Because of that, we can only enroll a couple of apprentices at a time — so it’s worth reaching out early.
Enrollment is limited to keep things one-on-one. Call to ask questions, tour the studio, or start your apprenticeship registration.
