Borboleta Beauty Education with Nicole
Lash Be A Lady | Bellingham, WA
As a Borboleta Educator since 2018, I’ve had the honor of guiding artists through Classic, Volume, Lash Lift & Brow Lamination courses—and even deeper through personalized one-on-one mentorships. With over 15 years in the beauty industry and a whole lot of heart, I’m here to help you build a lash career that’s not just successful, but uniquely yours.
I keep my classes small—2 students max—so I can meet you exactly where you're at. My teaching style is nurturing and intuitive, rooted in truly seeing and understanding each student. I’ll offer structure when you need it, freedom when you’re ready for it, and the confidence to create a business that’s as bold and authentic as you are.
What you’ll walk away with
- Solid technique + strong muscle memory
- Confidence in your artistry and decision-making
- Business insight tailored to your goals and lifestyle
- Permission to break the rules—and the wisdom to know when to follow them
Whether you’re brand new or ready to level up, I’ll help you find what works for you. Because this industry isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is my approach to teaching.
This isn’t just a class—it’s a space to grow, to explore, and to be fully yourself. I’m here for the journey, wherever you’re at.

FAQs
Yes, you do need to be licensed in your state to legally perform eyelash extensions. Before registering for any Borboleta training, I recommend checking with your state’s Department of Professional Licensing to ensure you meet the requirements. If your state requires a license, please email me your state license at lashbealady@gmail.com when registering for the course. I’m happy to help answer any questions about this along the way!
Yes! If you’re enrolled in school, I’m thrilled you’re taking the next step in your journey. Just provide proof of enrollment when you register for your course by having your school’s admissions office email it to me directly at lashbealady@gmail.com.
No worries, your course fee includes a full kit, which has everything you need to get started and work with clients. The kit is designed to help you feel fully prepared and confident as you begin your lash journey.

I totally get the desire to practice on a mannequin, but to earn your Borboleta certification, you’ll need to work with a live model.
