How to Get a Lash License in Connecticut: What You Need to Know
If you’re an aspiring lash artist in Connecticut, you’re probably asking: “How do I get a lash license?” Great news—Connecticut has a clear path to becoming a licensed eyelash technician. As of July 1, 2020, the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) requires anyone applying lash extensions professionally to hold a Connecticut Eyelash Technician License.
In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know—from training hours to application steps—and how DFW Lash University can help you get licensed from anywhere in the state.
Connecticut Eyelash Technician License Requirements
To legally work as a lash tech in Connecticut, you must meet three key licensing requirements:
✅ 1. Complete a 50-Hour Training Program
You must finish a 50-hour eyelash extension course from an approved school. This school can be located in Connecticut or out-of-state, as long as it was accredited by the proper regulatory authority at the time of your training.
Pro Tip: Make sure your chosen program includes certification, sanitation standards, and techniques like Classic and Volume lashes to meet licensing expectations.
✅ 2. Follow Infection Control Guidelines
On your application, you must attest to following Connecticut’s infection prevention and control plan, in accordance with Section 19a-231 of the general statutes.
This includes:
Proper handwashing techniques
Safe tool disinfection practices
Sanitation of workspaces
Bloodborne pathogen protocols
✅ 3. Submit an Online Application
To apply:
Go to the CT.gov health portal
Upload your certificate of completion
Pay the $100 non-refundable application fee
Attest to infection control compliance
Once approved, you’ll officially be a licensed eyelash technician in Connecticut!
Scope of Practice for Eyelash Technicians in Connecticut
A Connecticut lash technician is licensed to:
Apply synthetic lash extensions (including PBT materials)
Perform Classic, Volume, Hybrid, Capping, and Stacking techniques
Educate clients on lash aftercare and lash health
Perform lash lifts (when trained)
❌ Not allowed: Waxing, skincare treatments, tinting, or other esthetic services
The license is specific to eyelash extensions only, and services outside this scope are not permitted unless you hold an additional esthetics or cosmetology license.
Why Infection Control Matters
Connecticut takes health and safety seriously. All licensed eyelash technicians must:
Wash hands thoroughly before every service
Disinfect tools using EPA-registered bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal products
Follow blood exposure protocols if any injury occurs during the service
Following these protocols protects both you and your clients—and it’s essential for passing inspections.
