Do You Need a License to Do Lashes in Connecticut?
Yes.
As of July 1, 2020, no person may apply eyelash extensions professionally in Connecticut without holding an Eyelash Technician License issued by the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH).
Practicing without this license is considered operating outside state regulations and can result in penalties.
Connecticut Eyelash Technician License Requirements
According to the Connecticut State Department of Public Health, an applicant must:
1. Complete at least 50 hours of lash training
You must complete a minimum of 50 hours of study from:
- A state-approved lash school in Connecticut, or
- A school outside Connecticut that is approved by its own state board at the time of your training.
Your school must issue a Certificate of Completion, which you will upload during your online application.
2. Meet all safety & sanitation guidelines
Applicants must attest that they follow the state’s Infection Prevention & Control Guidelines, as outlined under Section 19a-231 of Connecticut statutes.
These guidelines cover:
- Handwashing procedures
- Sanitation of tools and workstations
- Disinfection protocols
- Bloodborne pathogen precautions
- Client safety standards
3. Submit the online application
All eyelash technician license applications are submitted online only.
You’ll need to:
- Create your CT DPH account
- Select “Initial Application” under “Appearance Enhancement”
- Upload your certificate
- Pay the $100 application fee
Authorities may request additional verification if needed.

Out-of-State Licensed Lash Techs
If you already hold a lash license from another U.S. state or territory, Connecticut may grant you a license based on:
- Your active, valid out-of-state license, and
- Proof of two years’ experience working as a licensed lash tech
If the state you worked in did not have lash licensing at the time, you must upload a written statement confirming that.
The application fee remains $100, and the application is completed online.
Scope of Practice for Lash Technicians in Connecticut
Licensed eyelash technicians in Connecticut are permitted to:
- Apply individual eyelash extensions
- Apply advanced lash techniques (Classic, Volume, Hybrid)
- Safely remove eyelash extensions
- Perform lash lifts (if trained)
- Educate clients on aftercare
- Maintain sanitation and infection-control standards
Eyelash technicians may NOT perform:
- Facials
- Waxing
- Brow tinting
- Chemical services
- Skincare treatments
Anything outside the allowed scope must be performed by another licensed beauty professional.
How Long Does It Take to Get a Connecticut Lash License?
Because the state requires 50 hours of training, most students finish in as little as 1–2 weeks, depending on the school’s schedule and online flexibility.
After submitting your application, license approval typically takes a few weeks, depending on processing times.
