Lash Technician

Lash techs in Wisconsin are not regulated. The state’s barbering and cosmetology law doesn’t include or define lash services as regulated. Aspirants are still encouraged to train, however, in lashes to provide great results.

Spray Tanning Technician

Spray tanning in Wisconsin doesn’t have licensing laws as well. Like lash techs, aspirants in this industry should consider getting professionally trained.
