How to Start a Lash Lift, Tint & Brow Lamination Business for $749

how to start a lash lift, tint and brow lamination business guide
Quick Insight

You can open a full lash and brow business — traditional lash lifts, Korean lash lifts, brow lamination, and lash and brow tinting — for $749 all-in. That single setup performs roughly 50 lifts and laminations plus close to 400 tints.

Most artists think building out a full lash and brow menu means buying a separate kit for every service. It doesn't. With the right combination of products, one startup investment lets you offer every type of lift, brow lamination, and lash and brow tinting for every client — with almost nothing duplicated. This guide breaks down the logic behind the setup, what it can actually do, a starting menu with real prices, the money it can produce, exactly what's inside it, and the short list of things you'll actually reorder. This guide is about the products and the business, not the technique.

1. The Short Answer: One Setup, Every Service

This setup is built to be efficient, not just stocked. The easy way to build a full menu is to buy a separate kit for every service — but that means paying for the same rods, adhesive, and tools two or three times over. We curated this setup instead: Elleebana One Shot is your base kit — it gets you every reusable tool you need plus 30 traditional lash lifts, your first service. Everything else you add from there is pure capacity: sachets and specialty pieces, nothing duplicated.

From there, you add Elleeplex Profusion — not as another full kit, but as sachet refill packs only. Profusion handles Korean lash lift and/or brow lamination, and because your tools are already covered by your base kit, those refill packs are pure added capacity with nothing duplicated.

Here's the logic, before we get into the itemized list:

  • Your base kit (Elleebana One Shot) — every reusable tool your setup needs, plus traditional lash lifts, right out of the box.
  • Elleeplex Profusion — Korean lash lift and/or brow lamination, added as sachets only — no extra tools to buy.
  • Belmacil adds lash tinting and brow tinting — the easiest add-on revenue in the business.
  • A complete rod and shield collection (rods, flex shields, hybrid shields and flat shields) means you have the right tools for every lift, lash type and eye shape.
  • The Korean lash lift-specific pieces (Elleemix powder and flat shields) let you offer the Korean lash lift service as its own line.
  • Elleeplex ReGEN, included as its own add-on, gives either system an optional conditioning boost clients are happy to pay more for.

Because each product does a different job, almost nothing in this kit is repeated or wasted. Every dollar buys a capability you didn't have before.

One setup. Smart products, zero waste. A full service menu — that's a business.

2. What Your Startup Setup Actually Does

Before the price tags, here's what this setup produces in real service capacity — because this is where the math gets exciting:

Service Capacity, Day One
  • 30 traditional lash lifts — fast, consistent and reliable results, with Elleebana One Shot
  • 20 Korean lash lifts and/or brow laminations — any mix you want, from Elleeplex Profusion sachets, using the same tools your One Shot kit already gave you
  • ~400 tint applications — enough to tint about half your lift and lamination services, with hundreds left over for clients who come in for tinting alone, with Belmacil tints

So out of the gate you can perform 50 lift and lamination services — in whatever combination your bookings call for. Add a tint to roughly half of those, and you've still got more than 375 tint applications left for clients who just want a tint. That tint capacity is the quiet hero: at roughly $30 to $35 each, tints are nearly pure add-on profit, and you've got close to 400 of them sitting in one little kit.

3. Your Sample Service Menu

Here's a sample menu built from the services this setup unlocks, using national-average pricing. Adjust to your own market — but this gives you a realistic starting point and shows how the combos stack into bigger tickets. (The service combos include a $5 add-on discount.)

Service Price
Lash Lift $90
Lash Tint $35
Lash Lift + Tint $120
Brow Lamination $90
Brow Tint $30
Brow Lamination + Tint $115
Korean Lash Lift $120
Korean Lash Lift + Tint $150
Lash + Brow Tint $60
Lash Lift + Brow Lamination $175
Lash Lift + Lash Tint + Brow Lamination + Brow Tint $240

Notice the Korean lash lift sits as its own service line — it's not an upgrade or a fancier version of a traditional lift. It's a separate service for a different client, at its own price point, and it's an additional way to make money on your menu. The same goes for tinting: a quick service that lifts almost every ticket by $25 to $30 with add-on pricing.

4. The Money Math

Let's run the real numbers, because "it pays for itself" means nothing without them. Your all-in investment is $749. Here's what the setup can produce before you reorder anything:

What the Setup Can Produce
  • $30 traditional lash lifts at $90 = $2,700
  • $20 Korean lifts / brow laminations at $90 = $1,800
  • $Add a tint to about 25 of those services (roughly half) at $30 = $750 in almost pure profit
  • $Perform the remaining 375 tint applications at $30 = $11,250 in almost pure profit

That's roughly $5,250 in revenue from a single $749 setup — and that's a conservative read, before you stack any of the higher-ticket combos. Work through your tint kit's remaining ~375 applications and you add another $11,250, bringing a single setup to $16,500 in revenue — with tint as the highest-margin line in your entire menu.

Your entire startup investment pays itself back in a few services. Everything after that is profit.

Run the most popular combo on your menu — a $175 Lash Lift + Brow Lamination — and your setup covers its own cost in just over four appointments. The point isn't the exact figure; it's that the gap between what this costs and what it earns is enormous, and it closes in your first week of bookings.

The Quiet Money-Maker

Adding a tint to services you're already doing is about as close to pure profit as this business gets. The Belmacil Mini Tint kit is $165 and covers up to ~400 tint applications across four shades — it pays for itself in about five tints. After that, every lash tint at $35 or brow tint at $30 is almost all profit: a few minutes added to an appointment you already booked, with pennies of product cost. That one kit can produce up to $12,000 before you ever reorder it. It's the easiest "yes" you can offer and the highest-margin line in your entire service menu.

5. What's Inside Your $749 Setup

You already know what this setup costs and what it can do — here's exactly what's inside it. The table below shows every product, what it costs, and what it's for, priced from the individual pieces so you can see precisely where your money goes. Prefer to build it up at your own pace? Every item is also sold on its own, so you can add pieces one at a time if that's what works for you.

That's a complete, professional-grade setup for your full menu — all in one place. The indented lines above show exactly what's packed inside the One Shot kit, the Belmacil kit, and the disposables bundle, so you can see every piece you're getting — and exactly what it would cost if you bought it all separately.

The Value

This setup has a product value of $897.85 when priced piece by piece. You're getting it all for $749 — $148.85 less than buying each piece on its own. The Elleebana One Shot Full Kit alone is worth $317 in components, and the Belmacil Mini Tint Kit is worth $188.90.

6. Where to Go From Here

When your setup runs low, you don't rebuy the whole thing. The consumables — your Step 1 & 2 lotion refills (Elleebana One Shot and Elleeplex Profusion), the disposables bundle, and adhesive — are what you'll restock regularly. Leaning more into Korean lash lift or brow lamination as your bookings grow? Just add another Profusion refill pack — same tools, no new setup needed. Everything else, you simply sanitize and reuse. Your ongoing cost stays just a few dollars per service against a $90 to $175 ticket — that's what makes this setup one of the smartest inventory decisions a lash and brow artist can make.

What You Don't Reorder — Just Sanitize and Reuse
  • Rods & Shields — flex rods, hybrid shields, flex shields, flat shields
  • Precision lifter tool
  • Flat-tip Elleebrush (×2 — one from each kit)
  • Lift lockers
  • Kidney dish
  • Elleepalette mixing dish
Pro Tip

You may get more than one service from a single set of Step 1 & 2 lotions. With both Elleebana One Shot and Elleeplex Profusion, if there's enough left, you may be able to use one set for two back-to-back lash lifts. Elleeplex Profusion goes one step further — because it also does brow lamination, you may be able to use one set for a lash lift and a brow lamination done in the same appointment. It's not guaranteed every time — but when it works, it's two services for the cost of one.

And this is where a starter setup turns into a real, growing business. As your books fill and you find your rhythm, you'll start adding specialty and alternate adhesives, additional tools and accessories, and retail products you can sell to your clients for at-home care — one service and one add-on at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

You don't have to start with both, but together they cover every lash and brow lift service on your menu. The Elleebana One Shot Full Kit is your foundation — it includes every reusable tool you need, plus 30 traditional lash lifts. Adding Elleeplex Profusion sachets on top opens Korean lash lift and brow lamination, using those exact same tools — no duplicate equipment, just more sachets.
Yes. Launch with just the One Shot Full Kit if you want to start with traditional lash lifts only — every tool you need is already included. Add Elleeplex Profusion sachets whenever you're ready to open Korean lash lift and brow lamination, and add Belmacil whenever you want to start tinting. Brow lamination and tinting are the highest-margin add-ons, so most artists end up adding them sooner than later.
Mostly just your consumables. The big three you'll restock regularly are the Elleebana One Shot and Elleeplex Profusion refills, the disposables bundle, and adhesive — and over time you'll naturally reorder other consumables too, like tints, makeup remover, or ReGEN as you use them. But your tools — rods, the precision lifter tool, Elleebrush, palette, lift lockers, and kidney dish — are all reusable. You just sanitize and reuse them service after service. That's why your ongoing cost stays just a few dollars per service.
Yes — significantly. Bought à la carte, everything in this setup adds up to $897.85 in product, and you're getting it all for $749. The Elleebana One Shot Full Kit alone is worth $317 in components, and the Belmacil Mini Tint Kit is worth $188.90 — together, those two kits account for most of the $148.85 you're saving. New to Lash Lift Society? Joining the list gets you 15% off your first order, too.
Yes. These are professional services for trained and licensed artists. Licensing and scope of practice vary by state, so check with your local agency. New to Korean lash lift?
