Home-Based Lash Extension Studio

Women and men who want a low-maintenance look, plus clients preparing for weddings, graduations and holidays.

• Steady hands and fine detail work
• Patience and attention to hygiene
• Friendly, personal customer service
• Booking and time management

• Check whether your municipality requires a home-based business licence or allows client visits at home
• Check with your provincial or local public health unit about hygiene and sanitation rules for esthetic services
• Commercial general liability insurance that covers lash services
• Allergic reactions or eye infections, so do patch tests and keep client consent records
• Check your home insurance and any lease or condo rules before seeing clients at home

Estimates suggest startup costs typically around $1,500 to $4,500, depending on lash supplies, how you set up your treatment room, equipment, and insurance. Price your own setup carefully before you buy.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $1,000 to $5,000, depending on how many clients you book, which services you offer (extensions, infills, lifts) and your prices. The estimate assumes at least about 10 hours a week.

Check whether your municipality requires a home-based business licence or allows client visits, ask your provincial or local public health unit about hygiene and sanitation rules for esthetic services, and confirm commercial general liability insurance covers lash services. Also check home insurance and any lease or condo rules.
