Training
Welcome!
I'm Monica—Owner of Private Eyes Studios LLC, Multi‑Certified Lash Technician, and Licensed Aesthetician. I bring over 20 years of experience training others across Hospitality, Law Enforcement, Information Technology, and Education. I’ve taught hundreds of students in settings ranging from one‑on‑one coaching to large classroom and auditorium environments. Over the years, I’ve invested in ongoing education focused on communication and instructional methods so I can share information clearly, effectively, and with purpose. I’m confident that the skills and techniques I’ve mastered can help you grow, too.
My Journey
I entered the beauty industry in 2017 after deciding it was time to pursue something I truly wanted—not something I felt obligated to do. My first lash extension course gave me a foundation, but it also opened my eyes to how much more there was to learn. From that moment on, I committed myself to continuous training in lash application, advanced techniques, product knowledge, and industry trends.
That commitment eventually led me to create my own lash extension curriculum—one that includes the deeper knowledge, structure, and support I wish I had when I started. I’ve developed my own methods, techniques, and training materials to give my students a strong, confident start in their careers
My Training Philosophy
I don’t just want to train you—I want to mentor you. When you take a course with me, you’re getting more than instruction; you’re gaining ongoing support from someone who genuinely wants to see you succeed. But success is a partnership. You’ll need dedication, practice, and a willingness to grow.
I believe our industry thrives when we lift each other up. Whether you’re brand‑new or exploring a career shift, now is the perfect time to enter the lash world—especially here in the Midwest, where the demand continues to grow.
If you’re curious, excited, or even a little unsure, reach out. Let’s talk about your goals and see if this path is right for you.
Training Schedule
Classroom training is held on Saturdays and Sundays, with occasional availability on Fridays and Mondays. All classroom sessions are dedicated solely to instruction—training is never conducted while I am serving other clients. This ensures you receive my full attention and a focused learning environment.
Why Train With Private Eyes?
My training goes beyond the basics. I take the extra time and steps necessary to ensure you’re truly prepared to perform these services with confidence and skill. You’ll complete additional model applications so you can fully understand and apply the concepts—not just rush through them.
Some training programs offer a quick practice session and then hand you a certificate. I don’t believe that approach sets you—or your future clients—up for success. My goal is to help you become one of the most skilled, knowledgeable artists in the industry, equipped with both technique and confidence

Your clients will immediately notice the difference in quality and longevity.
