Lash Tech
Lash Tech Startup Guide
Launching as a lash tech means handling business registration, treatment-specific insurance, patch-test and contraindication procedures, GDPR for client medical history records, local council licensing where it applies, and clear booking and cancellation terms. This guide covers business setup, insurance, the practical realities of adhesive humidity and curing, pricing classic versus volume versus mega-volume, infill cycle economics, lone-worker safety in home and mobile settings, and the first-90-days checklist for moving from qualified tech to a full diary.

More for Lash Tech
Business Documents — Standard
Your lash tech clients expect a professional welcome — consultation cards, consent forms, aftercare sheets, patch-test records, GDPR notices. Cobbling these together from salon forums or generic templates wastes time and sends mixed signals before the first treatment. A consistent paper trail is what separates a professional from a hobby. This Standard pack delivers the 14 documents a lash tech actually uses week to week — Client Consultation Medical History, Treatment Consent Liability Waiver, Patch Test Record, Cyanoacrylate Allergy Declaration, Aftercare Instructions, Pre-Care Instructions, Photo Video Release, plus Treatment Record Card, Lash Mapping Style Record, Infill Maintenance Policy, Cancellation No Show Policy, GDPR Privacy Notice, Complaint Resolution Procedure and Service Agreement Terms. Each PDF carries a fillable header — type your business name and trading details once, then print or save. UK-specific terminology, A4 print-ready, no Canva and no monthly software. Built for sole-trader and small-firm UK lash techs who want one consistent paper trail across every job.
Business Documents — Premium
A lash tech works through a rolling book of infills, full sets and the occasional new client - and patch tests, consent and aftercare sit at the centre of a safe practice that won't get flagged by an insurer on renewal day. LaunchKit Premium for a lash tech covers all 13 business documents as interactive fillable PDF plus editable Word. Client consultation, patch test record, treatment consent and aftercare advice fill in on a tablet at the start of an appointment, and the salon policies, rebooking prompts, referral cards, feedback form and complaint procedure rebrand in Word with your lash business name, kit list and branding. Insurance declaration, gift voucher terms, marketing consent and GDPR notice match in tone across the set. Two formats from one download - the lash tech's admin side matches the aesthetic of the salon, and returning clients see a practice that runs cleanly.
Financial Forms Bundle — Standard
Your lash tech income comes in across cash, card, gift vouchers, deposits and retail product sales — each tracked (or not) in different places. Without a consistent weekly and monthly record, margins blur and tax time becomes a scramble rather than a 30-minute review. This Standard pack covers the core financial admin a lash tech business runs day to day — quote and estimate forms, branded invoice templates, till and card takings records, expense logs split between product, consumables, CPD and room or chair rent, a monthly income summary, a VAT log for those who are registered, and an annual accounts prep sheet. Each PDF carries a fillable header — type your business name and trading details once, then print or save. UK Self Assessment categories pre-aligned, A4 print-ready, no monthly software commitment. Built for sole-trader and small-firm lash techs who want a clean paper trail before year-end.
