ACCREDITATION DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

 

Updating the NALA Academy Accreditation requirements is a continuous process. The requirements are influenced by:

​

  • Global research into safe practice

  • On-going consultation with the NALA Board of Advisors

  • Feedback from lash professionals and the general public

  • Feedback from lash students

  • Changes in legislation and government policies

  • Demands for greater accountability

  • Targeted surveys about the new processes and standards

  • Evaluating the effectiveness of any new processes introduced

  • Making corrections in any necessary areas

​

​

Continued Development of Industry Standards

 

An updated version of NALA Accreditation requirements is developed and released every year to ensure the validity and on-going relevance of the standards. Necessary amendments are communicated via email to the accredited academy owners. Academy owners are expected to fully implement the changes identified by the accompanying timeline. NALA provides as much notice as possible, though the implementation period for legislative changes can be much shorter.

The requirements for NALA Academy Accreditation are developed and reviewed in consultation with the NALA Board of Advisors.

LASH ARTIST ACCREDITATION

Elevate your professional profile and gain industry recognition as a high-caliber lash artist committed to unparalleled quality and safety standards.

​Receiving NALA accreditation is a testament to a lash artist's commitment to meeting or surpassing the industry standards set by The Lash Association within their studio.

​

In an industry where lash certifications often lack standardized regulations, achieving NALA accreditation showcases not only professional integrity but also exceptional skills.

​

A lash artist seeking recognition as NALA Accredited Member must undergo a comprehensive evaluation of their expertise, daily operations, studio protocols, workspace standards, hygiene practices, and technique. Individuals who obtained their lash certification from a NALA Accredited Academy can contact their academy director to bypass the application process and enjoy exclusive membership benefits. That's right - we trust their education THAT much!

​

Upon successful approval, our Accredited Members adhere to NALA's Professional Guidelines, Code of Ethics, and Decontamination Guide, gaining visibility through inclusion in the prestigious NALA Global Directory.

ACADEMY ACCREDITATION

Empower the next generation of lash artists by showcasing your academy's commitment to excellence in education, curriculum development, and industry best practices.

Earning the NALA Seal of Accreditation isn't just an achievement—it's your academy's statement of dedication to changing the level of lash industry education. It represents your unwavering commitment to delivering the highest standards of education and professional credibility in the lash industry.

​

But let's be clear—it's no walk in the park. No academy breezes through the accreditation process on the first try. At The Lash Association, we partner with every applicant, guiding them through the necessary enhancements and adjustments needed to achieve accreditation status.

​

NALA Accreditation is an honor that must be earned through hard work and dedication. It's a testament to the countless hours of refining practices, fine-tuning curriculums, and aligning with NALA's requirements. Each Accredited Academy is a shining example of resilience, innovation, and commitment to excellence.

​

Once accredited, your academy shines brightly on the prestigious NALA Global Directory, a testament to your academy's dedication to providing top-tier lash education. Join the league of distinguished academies making a real difference in shaping the future of the lash industry.
