How Much Money Can You Make Doing Lash Lifts and Tints?

If you’ve ever wondered, “How much money can I make as a lash lift and tint artist?”, you’re not alone.

With the demand for beautiful, natural lashes booming, now is the perfect time to launch or boost your career in this booming niche of the beauty industry.

I’ll walk you through everything you need to know: from average earnings, pricing strategies, business setup, and most importantly—how LucyLu Lash Academy gives you the edge to make more money, faster.

1. 📊 Industry Earnings Snapshot

What’s the average pay?

• According to ZipRecruiter, the average eyelash technician in the U.S. earns about $21.81 per hour, or roughly $45,300 annually
• Glassdoor lists a median annual pay of around $52,600, though top earners can hit $60,000+ .
• In-state variations: California techs earn $26/hour, while other states may hover around $22/hour

But what about lash lift and tint specialists?

Data from GlossGenius points out that full-time lash artists average $40,000–$80,000 per year, depending on skills, reputation, pricing, and client capacity. And a Reddit thread shows lash techs earning between $1,100–$1,300 per week, that’s $57,000–$67,600 annually, working commission-based in salons.

🗝️ The takeaway? As a skilled professional lash artist specializing in lash lift treatments and lash tinting, you can earn far above average technician wages… especially if you price right, develop clientele, and reduce costs with a low cost educational foundation and the proper marketing strategy.

2. 💵 How Pricing & Volume Drive Income

Typical prices per service:

• Lash lift alone: $75–$150
• Lift + tint: $100–$200, depending on location and skill level

Potential weekly/monthly income scenarios:

With a weekly flow of 10–20 clients, you’re looking at $4,000–$12,000 per month, and $50,000–$150,000 annually—before tips and retail sales.

Low start-up costs = higher profit margins

Your lash lift kit—complete with silicone rods, lifting solutions, lash lift shields, and semi‑permanent tints—costs between $100–$300 for materials that handle multiple treatments. That’s a minimal investment compared to return: $4–$6 per client, and maybe $100–$150 in revenue per appointment. Scale that, and you keep the majority of your earnings.

3. 📈 What Influences How Much You Can Make

Here are the crucial factors that separate average techs from top-earning lash artists:

1. Location

High-traffic neighborhoods and major cities allow you to charge more. U.S. averages vary. California, Illinois and New York are higher; smaller towns may be less .

2. Training & Technique (Your Competitive Edge)

Great results come from quality training. The right professional lash lift training teaches you about lash anatomy, patch tests, avoiding oil-based products, using lifting solution correctly, and creating that perfect lash curl—leading to rave reviews, repeat clients, and higher pricing. LucyLu’s course gives you that expertise (and client trust) from day one.

3. Upsell & Add-Ons

Offer additional services like:

• Lash tinting
• Brow lamination
• Retail of lash serum, lash lift aftercare products
  These extra services boost your per-appointment revenue and enhance client value.

4. Client Retention & Referral

Educate clients on proper care: avoid waterproof mascara for 24 hours, stay clear of oil-based products, and follow post-lift aftercare. Good results mean loyal clients and word-of-mouth referrals.

5. Social Media & Marketing

A strong portfolio using before-and-after shots, tech demos, and client testimonials—especially for natural-looking, lifted lashes—builds credibility. As more clients share posts, your visibility skyrockets. LucyLu’s team teaches you how to post to social media with impact, including when to use lash lift kit shots and client stories.

4. 📋 Training Options & Fees

ROI Snapshot:
