We love hands on

EDUCATION




Many lash artists are visual learners (us included) which is why we have a huge offering of in-person classes. We believe in hands on, live lash model demos to practice techniques to give our students the BEST educational experience.




We understand online

EDUCATION



Online education can be a blessing (especially to those who are unable to attend live classes). We strive to make our online classes as straight forward and to the point as possible, so you're not falling asleep to our videos. We have a wide variety of short videos, technique demos, photography, lesson plans, quizzes, and much more to make our online courses interactive and NOT BORING! We also have a online educational forum to connect students with each other, and to have a place to search and ask all your lash artistry and business questions! Think the Reddit of Lash Artistry

Hi I'm Cristal!


I am the Owner of Origins Lash Pro

I've been lashing since 2017 after 7 years in the manufacturing QC industry. I have been obsessing over lash extensions since I was 22 years old.


With a QC Manufacturing Management background, I founded Origins Lash Pro - Lash extension products and resources, to bring to market ultra specific and custom lash variations with a high degree of consistency and quality.


Since the moment I started my lashing journey, I am been interested in custom styling. It's funny how I spent the first half of my professional career immersed in data, spreadsheets, and structured procedures. just to be taken hold by the Creativity of Lash Artistry


I am OBSESSED with creating custom sets, and I"m always learning new styling and install techniques. I have 15 styling certifications from North America and Eastern Europe. I am always trying new ideas, new styles, and I am SO SO blessed to be fulfilled in my professional career. Lash Artistry is truly what I love, and I feel so grateful to pass along my knowledge to others who share this passion


Thank you to Olivia and Tiffany for embarking on this educational journey as a team. I can feel their passion for helping others, and I know we are going to do everything we can to help as many lash artists as we can reach to accomplish goals in their lash careers!

Hi, I'm Tiffany!


I was lucky enough to escape the mundane corporate career by unlocking into my creativity side. In 2018, I enrolled in an eyelash extension course because I enjoyed the overall service and experience of eyelash extensions. It's peaceful, relaxing and you feel completely safe while asleep when you're at your most vulnerable state while being serviced. On top of feeling refreshed and rejuvenated from the lash nap, the feeling of eyelash extensions added a level of confidence and empowerment.
 
I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey and started XTFNYLASHES INC. My vision for XTFNYLASHES INC was to provide spa-like luxury eyelash extension services with the aim to empower women. 

With my niche being retention and styling I started to book 4-6 months out and became extremely burnt out. I quickly realized the lash industry needed lash artists that specialized in quality, retention and customized lash styles/sets.

XTFNYLASHES INC introduced in-person and online training eyelash extension courses. The vision was to deliver and create well-rounded Eyelash Extension Artists with technical and interpersonal skills with an unlimited resource of lash education. I wanted to help lash artists become confident and strengthen their business to its full potential. XTFNYLASHES has certified over 100 students and continues to provide training, mentorship and support.


The universe works in magical ways and have guided my lash besties, Olivia and Cristal to me. Our baby, Origins Education was born and we hope you love her as much as we do.

Hi! I’m Olivia!


I have been in the lash industry since 2018 and have loved it since day one. BUT! Before I took a leap of faith into the world of lash extensions I had bounced around university programs- between business, marketing, public relations and event management, all while working part time at a hair salon. However, none of it captivated me. 

I enrolled in a lash course in June of 2018 and I haven’t looked back since. Although it was the hardest thing I had ever tried, it lit a fire inside of me. I started Opulent Lash Artistry and knew this was the career for me. I loved the creativity, the beauty and the customization of lash extensions. I loved the connections I was building with clients and other beauty professionals. From the beginning I have valued community over competition (I like to think this is my motto). 

From these connections, I realized I had a passion for educating. It’s no secret that with lack of industry regulation, there was a lack of standard for lash education. I wanted to change that by creating lash courses unlike anything out there- one on one courses that include extensive theory, hands on application, demonstrations, ongoing support and all of the tools you’d need to set yourself up for success. I created a Classic and Volume lash extension course that included all of that and more. 

Since then I have added an advanced Mega Volume lash course, Lash Lift and Tint course as well as an online social media course to my education library. Over the last couple of years I have certified over 100 students in person and online. 

Most recently- I was lucky enough to cross paths with two individuals; Cristal and Tiffany, who share the same vision and passion for lash education, the lash community and the lash industry as a whole. Together we created Origins Education.
