How to Get Your First 10 Lash Clients (Even If You’re Brand New)
Starting your lash career can feel overwhelming…
You’ve done your training, you’ve got your kit… but now you’re thinking:
“How do I actually get clients?”
At Saint Benedict’s Beauty & Lash Academy, we teach not just skills — but how to build a profitable lash business.
Here’s exactly how to land your first 10 paying clients 👇
1. Start With Your Inner Circle
Your first clients are closer than you think.
Start with:
- Friends
- Family
- Work colleagues
- School mums
- Gym friends
Offer a model price or discounted set in exchange for:
- Photos
- Honest feedback
- Social media posts
👉 This builds confidence AND content at the same time.
2. Post Consistently (Even Before You’re “Perfect”)
You do NOT need to be fully booked to start posting.
Post:
- Your training day
- Your kit
- Practice sets
- Before & afters
- Progress photos
💡 Tip: People love to support beginners — it makes you relatable.
3. Use Facebook Groups (This is GOLD)
Local Facebook groups are one of the fastest ways to get clients.
Search:
- “Norwich girls group”
- “Norwich beauty”
- “Norwich mums”
Post something like:
“Hi girls, I’ve just qualified as a lash technician and I’m looking for 5 models this week at a reduced price to build my portfolio 🤍 Message me for availability!”
👉 This works FAST when done right.
4. Offer Limited-Time Intro Prices
Create urgency.
Instead of:
❌ “Cheap lashes available”
Say:
✅ “5 spaces only this week for £25 full sets”
This makes people:
- Act quickly
- Take you seriously
- Value your time
5. Focus on ONE Service First
Don’t try to do everything.
Start with:
👉 Classic lashes
Master them, build speed, then move onto:
- Hybrid
- Volume
💡 This is exactly why our courses include case studies — to build real confidence before taking paying clients.
6. Get Content Every Appointment
Every single client = marketing opportunity.
Take:
- Before & after photos
- Close-ups
- Videos
Post:
- Reels
- Stories
- TikToks
👉 One client can give you content for DAYS.
7. Ask Every Client to Recommend You
This is huge.
After every appointment:
“If you love your lashes, please recommend me to your friends 🤍”
Word of mouth = FREE marketing
And it converts better than ads.
8. Don’t Wait Until You Feel “Ready”
Truthfully?
You’ll never feel 100% ready.
Confidence comes from:
- Doing clients
- Making mistakes
- Learning as you go
That’s why we require case studies on all our courses — so you leave actually ready to start earning.
