Colors are omnipresent: in our reflection in the mirror, in nature, in clothing and make-up. But only when we understand their effect on people and know how they relate to each other can we use them consciously. This is exactly where color theory comes in.
To begin with, you will get to know the color wheel. It shows how colors are related to each other and which combinations have a harmonious or contrasting effect. Whether warm or cool, soft or strong - every color carries a certain mood . You will learn how these moods are used in make-up to create radiance, freshness or depth.
In the next step, you will focus on color analysis. You will observe the skin undertone, eye color and hair structure in order to recognize which color nuances make a face appear lively. It's about noticing differences that seem inconspicuous at first glance, but play a major role in the overall picture.
In the practical part of the type consultation, you will get to know the classic color types, such as the spring, summer, autumn and winter types. Step by step, you will learn how to clearly classify people and choose suitable make-up colors. The aim is to choose colors not just because they look "beautiful", but because they emphasize the natural personality. at the end of this unit, you will not only have theoretical knowledge, but also a trained eye. You will develop a feel for which shades harmonize in make-up and how you can use color in a targeted way to create a look that is lively, harmonious and expressive.

COLOR WHEEL & HARMONIES
COLOR ANALYSIS & TYPE THEORY
How does a face change when light and shadow are used in a targeted way? This is exactly where facial analysis comes in: it is about consciously perceiving proportions and understanding the influence of make-up on the shape of the face. You will learn to recognize and distinguish between different face shapes such as oval, round, angular, heart-shaped or long. This is the basis for working specifically with light and shadow later on.
The aim of any make-up design is to create harmonious and balanced proportions. In make-up artistry, the oval face is considered ideal, as its lines appear soft and even. With the help of contouring and highlighting techniques , you can visually approximate other face shapes to this ideal.
An important part of the unit is taking a close look at individual parts of the face. You analyze the distance between the eyes, the shape and height of the eyebrows, the proportions of the forehead, cheeks and chin as well as the lines of the bridge of the nose. The shape of the lips and jawline also play a role. All these details determine how a face looks: soft, striking, open or rather compact.
Train your eye for subtle differences and develop a confident, professional sense of proportion. The result is make-up that emphasizes your personality and shapes your overall appearance.

When we talk about skin , most people first think of skincare products, make-up or their own reflection in the mirror in the morning. But the skin is much more than just our outer covering. It is the largest organ in our body, our protective shield, a sensory organ and an expression of our health.
In skin science, you will learn about the anatomical structure of the skin and its individual layers. You will learn how it works, what tasks it performs and why it sometimes reacts sensitively to external influences. You will learn how to recognize different skin types and understand which skincare and make-up products are suitable for which skin type. Another important part of the course is how to deal with skin irritations and allergies. You will learn how to recognize allergic reactions, how to deal with them responsibly and how to select products that support the skin instead of burdening it.
This practical unit helps you not only to see the skin, but to really understand it. This will enable you to apply type-appropriate make-up that highlights rather than conceals - while keeping the health and well-being of your customers in mind.

In customer-oriented work, you will learn how to communicate professionally, respectfully and clearly with customers. You will learn how to recognize wishes, correctly assess expectations and find out what the other person really needs by asking specific questions. Language is a key aspect of this: technical terms are helpful in the classroom, but can quickly become confusing when talking to customers. You will therefore learn to explain content in a way that is easy to understand without losing your expertise.
One sensitive topic is how to deal with skin blemishes, scars or signs of ageing. Here it is important to remain respectful and empathetic. Instead of emphasizing problems, the focus is on demonstrating ways to accentuate existing beauty. You will practise how to give honest advice without offending and how to give customers a positive feeling .

Particular attention is paid to the natural protective mechanisms - from blinking to tear production - and how these can be influenced by extensions or adhesives. The eyelashes themselves are also analyzed in detail. Structure, thickness, natural curvature and the different growth phases (anagen, catagen and telogen phase) form the basis for a type-appropriate and gentle extension.
The subject is rounded off by an examination of the cranial and facial anatomy, as this is crucial for subsequent styling planning. You will learn to classify different eye and eyelid shapes and understand their significance for mapping, styling and application. The practical benefits are always at the forefront: the better you know the anatomical requirements, the safer, more precise and healthier your work will be - for you and your clients.

A safe and hygienic working environment is the basic prerequisite for professional lash styling and also your strongest quality feature. In this subject, you will learn how to minimize risks, prevent infections and reliably protect your clients.
You will deal with the basics of hand hygiene, the professional disinfection of tools and surfaces and the safe handling of products and materials. You will also learn when sterilization is relevant and how to correctly classify various hygiene measures. The aim is to provide you with clear procedures that you can apply consistently in your everyday studio life and that will significantly strengthen your professional image.
Using practical examples and clear standards, you will develop a feel for what a hygienic workplace looks like, how it is prepared and how you can ensure safety and cleanliness throughout the treatment. This subject lays the foundation for professional lash work: responsible, safe and hygienic.

A precise look at the biological basics will not only make your work as a lash stylist safer, but also much more professional. In this subject, you will deepen your knowledge of the structure of the eye and all the structures that are relevant to the application of lash extensions. On this basis, you will be able to make better decisions later on, recognize risks at an early stage and advise your clients competently.
You will study the anatomical layers of the eye, the eyelid apparatus and the interaction between the conjunctiva, cornea and tear film. Particular attention is paid to the natural protective mechanisms - from blinking to tear production - and how these can be influenced by extensions or adhesives. The eyelashes themselves are also analyzed in detail. Structure, thickness, natural curvature and the different growth phases (anagen, catagen and telogen phase) form the basis for a type-appropriate and gentle extension.
The subject is rounded off by an examination of the cranial and facial anatomy, as this is crucial for subsequent styling planning. You will learn to classify different eye and eyelid shapes and understand their significance for mapping, styling and application. The practical benefits are always at the forefront: the better you know the anatomical requirements, the safer, more precise and healthier your work will be - for you and your clients.

In this module, you will delve deep into the medically relevant diseases of the eye and eyelid area . This knowledge is essential for working safely and responsibly as a lash stylist. You will learn to correctly classify typical abnormalities such as inflammation, infections, functional disorders and structural changes to the eyelid, conjunctiva, cornea or lacrimal gland and assess their impact on possible treatment.
A central component is the recognition of clear contraindications. When should treatment not be carried out under any circumstances? When should caution be exercised? And how do you communicate this professionally with the client? You will develop a trained eye for risk factors, understand the underlying pathological processes and learn how to quickly identify warning signals.
Building on this, you will receive a practical decision-making guide that will lead you step by step through the assessment - from the first visual inspection to the decision as to whether an extension can be carried out or whether it makes sense to refer the patient to a specialist. This specialist knowledge strengthens your confidence, protects your customers and forms the basis for responsible work in everyday studio life.

In this subject, you will delve step by step into the technical basics of professional eyelash extensions. You will learn about the different materials, understand how glue is formulated and how it reacts, and develop a confident feel for the correct use of tools and products. A central focus is on the perfect preparation of natural lashes. Because only a thoroughly cleaned, correctly degreased and carefully analyzed starting base guarantees a long-lasting and gentle result.
You will practise the correct patch application, the precise isolation of individual natural lashes and the safe application of individual extensions. You will also learn about lash direction and the basics of lash mapping in order to create specific shapes, openings and effects. Using a practice head, you will apply what you have learned in practice and develop an initial feeling for the rhythm, stability and accuracy of your hand movements. This subject forms the technical foundation on which all other lash techniques are built. It is clearly structured, practice-oriented and perfectly suited to developing your skills cleanly and professionally right from the start.

For many, working on a Classic Full Set on a real model feels like the first real step into the professional life of a lash stylist. In this course, you will put your previously acquired knowledge into practice: you will work on a complete Classic Full Set on your own model for the first time - under professional guidance and with intensive supervision. The aim is to gain confidence in the application, to implement clean isolations and to achieve an even, natural-looking result.
At the beginning, you will see a complete demonstration by the trainer, in which every step is explained in a comprehensible manner - from preparation and correct alignment of the lashes to the perfect placement of individual extensions. You will then work independently on the model while you are continuously corrected, supported and individually coached. In this way, you will develop a feeling for speed, technique and precision that you will need for your future work.

After the first complete sets, the real art of eyelash extensions begins: neatly filling in, optimizing and touching up a wide range of results for clients. In this subject, you will learn how to safely remove outgrown extensions, professionally close gaps and correct incorrect applications. You will learn which factors improve durability, how to create clean transitions and why structured work processes are crucial for a lasting, high-quality result.
In the next step, you will deepen your practical skills: you will practise efficient refill techniques, learn to recognize typical problem areas and develop solutions for individual challenges in everyday studio life. At the same time, you will sharpen your eye for detail, as precise precision work is the basis for a natural, even and long-lasting result. This subject concludes the technical part and prepares you to work confidently, safely and with a focus on quality with regular customers.

A solid foundation is the key to a professional lash career - and this is exactly where this subject comes in. You will learn the most important theoretical principles that will make your future work precise, safe and customizable. You will develop a feel for how different lash types, lengths and curvatures work and how to derive coherent styling decisions from this.
Another key area is the anatomy and growth cycles of natural eyelashes. This knowledge will help you to work responsibly and optimize the durability of your sets. The module is supplemented by the basics of hygiene and workplace set-up so that you can work cleanly, safely and professionally right from the start. Customer consultation, style selection, contraindications and correct forceps guidance are also part of this comprehensive introduction and will prepare you optimally for the practice.

Great training and super nice people. You can tell how much emphasis is placed on conveying the necessary knowledge to the course participants in an understandable way. I was even kindly allowed to take a course completely free of charge after there were somewhat problematic and disruptive participants in my group. I will 100% take more courses with you in the future because learning is extremely fun, especially thanks to the friendly staff!

The best thing that could have happened to me is this academy. Access to participants is excellent. All employees are very competent, very professional and very friendly. A person can learn so much that it is indescribably good. I would recommend it to everyone. When I arrived in Austria I was looking for something like this and luckily I found this academy and signed up for the course without hesitation. Everything we get in return is worth 100 times more than what we pay. Indescribable experience, indescribable people, once again and 1000 times I say: Thank you for everything, thank you for this indescribable experience. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I was able to learn a lot of new things as part of my training at the Flexyfit Academy and was able to take on a new, demanding challenge with my chosen course. The structure of the training courses is very understandable and clear, so that you can master the distance learning course on your own without any problems. If there were any questions, ambiguities or isolated problems, the Academy team was always quick to help and we could always find a common solution. Here and there I would have liked a little more practical relevance. Nevertheless, I always felt very comfortable, had great speakers and with my degree as a qualified medical sports coach, many new doors are now open to me :)
