Lash Championships 2019
Seasoned pros and student lash artists battled it out over two days at Professional Beauty London to place in the show’s first-ever Lash Championships. Competitors put their skills to the test in three extensions styles – Classic, Russian Volume and New Volume – and each category had different divisions (Novice, Professional and Expert). Competition director Heather Hughes presented the winners with trophies, while second and third place were awarded certificates. This year’s standout lash artist was Maki Ishimori, who came top in the Novice division for Classic and scooped second place in the Novice division for New Volume.
Divisions with five or more competitors had first, second and third prizes, while those with four or fewer saw only an overall winner awarded.
