FAQs
How do I know which pathway is right for me?
If you are completely new to the industry and want to master one service with structured reinforcement, the Foundation pathway is appropriate.
If you are building a serious long-term career and want to offer both lash and brow services with stronger pricing power and client retention, the Complete Lash & Brow pathway is typically the most strategic choice.
The decision is less about experience level — and more about how committed you are to building a full-service, professionally structured business from the beginning.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes.
All certification pathways are structured to allow progression. If you begin with a Foundation certification, you can upgrade into a dual or complete pathway at a later stage.
However, many students choose the Complete pathway initially to avoid duplication of learning and to build full-service capability from the outset.
Does every pathway include the 12-Week Lab?
Yes.
Every certification at Capital Beauty Academy includes access to the 12-Week Artist Development Lab and Inner Circle professional environment.
Certification is not treated as an endpoint. Structured refinement, feedback and progression are built into every pathway to support confident service delivery beyond course completion.
