What's An ALA
Membership Like?
A beauty career can be lonely at times, especially in a specialized field like lashing. It seems like hair stylists, nail techs, and makeup artists get all the attention.
We started the American Lash Association with one goal in mind: Connecting, inspiring, and supporting artists to evolve lash styling from “just a niche” to the most popular beauty experience in the world!
Have you ever met a group of friends with the exact same interests as you? Where they gave you space to discuss your thoughts, relate to your struggles, and share tips and tricks over brunch and bottomless mimosas? Your ALA membership gives you that feeling of belonging that the beauty industry desperately lacks when it comes to lashing.
- Like your .03’s are fanning like butter
- Your glue drop keeps the perfect consistency for the full set
- Like your client brought you Starbucks
- You found the perfect volume tweezer with just the right grip
- Like counting your cash at the end of the day
- Like that new client could be your BFF
- Or like all your clients have the BEST retention ever!
