My favorite thing to hear are the stories of people using the lash skills to take themselves out of poverty and into a life of financial freedom. This profession transforms lives! Of course there is this awesome confidence boost for the client, but the lash artist turned business owner is the fastest growing sector of the beauty industry today. It’s an honor to help represent their interests.

Health & Safety Council

Our Safety and Health Council is dedicated to promoting practices and standards to protect our profession (and our client’s eyes). It’s not just about keeping a clean workspace, we research and share best practices for safe lash application with all our members — a crucial process for all the new products, tools, and techniques.

Researching & Communicating

Our health and safety council is committed to researching and promoting the safety and health standards that should be employed universally in our industry.

Promoting Best Practices

New products, techniques, and tools hit the market every month. That's why we research and promote new best practices constantly to protect our career and clients.

Defining Values & Ethics

As our industry expands, our conduct matters more than ever! We're researching and recommending standards around values and ethics, safety, integrity, and inclusion to ensure we can help each client look and feel their best.

Leading The Beauty World By Example

By defining a stringent professional code for our community, we can become true trendsetters and spread the love of lashing with passion and sincerity — all while building the most trusted beauty community in the world!

Accreditation Council

Through your training and experience, you have the skills to be a lash artist. But an ALA accreditation isn’t about validating your certifications.

Business Ethics & Social Responsibility

Our client’s needs are at the heart of everything, and we’re committed to creating a nationally accepted quality benchmark for lash artists built on the professionalism, integrity, and values our clients and the public expect from us.

Upholding High Standards For Lash Artists

We're identifying the minimum standards our members should provide their clients and colleagues while defining the values and ethics lash artists should uphold every time they step into their studios.

Recognizing Excellence In Our Industry

We're establishing a framework for certified lash technicians to have their qualifications recognized, consistently uphold the values and ethics of our industry, and be seen as the passionate professionals they are.
