TX Eyelash Extension Specialist case studies
TX Eyelash Extension Specialist · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Texas Eyelash Extension Specialist credential is a specialty license issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) that authorizes a licensed cosmetologist, esthetician, or manicurist - or a stand-alone specialty applicant meeting TDLR's requirements - to apply, maintain, and remove eyelash extensions for compensation. The exam confirms that a candidate can work safely and legally in a Texas salon or lash studio: it samples Texas cosmetology law and the specialty scope of practice, infection control and disinfection of tools and work surfaces, eye and lash anatomy, client screening and contraindications, adhesive and product chemistry, isolation and mapping technique for classic and volume sets, aftercare and removal, and recordkeeping and professional communication. The TX Eyelash Extension Specialist case studies are 5 cases and about 4,092 words.

An eyelash extension specialist rents a booth in a licensed salon.
