Lash tech vs. lash artist

There's a difference between applying lashes and creating them.

We teach you the latter.

Lash Technician

Lash Technician

Masters the basics: making fans, working with different lash types, and following standard maps.

The work is executional — Russian volume, hybrids, classics by fixed patterns. But not driven by what the eye actually needs.

A good start, but there's more
Where we take youLash Artist

Lash Artist

You see the eye. Not the lash.

A lash artist reads the eye shape before a single lash is placed — which curl fits, and why. A set that truly belongs to the person. No copy, no standard map. A unique design, for each individual.

VS
Chiva Daams
A normal lash tech just copies and pastes. I look at eye shapes. I have knowledge about every face that sits in my chair.

Meet Chiva

Lash artist.

Founder.

I started doing lashes and felt it straight away: this is exactly what I want to do. But in my own way. What followed was a studio in Arnhem, a style of my own, and many students I've had the privilege to guide into becoming lash artists.

Our philosophy

Don't copy.Create.

In a market where Russian volume was the standard, I chose wispy — lighter, more natural, more “me”. People didn't always get it at first. But I stayed consistent, and now wispy is one of the most requested styles.

LXQ Academy is our way of passing on everything we've learned. Not just the technique, but thinking like an artist. My approach is simple: start with the why, not the how.

No standard maps.
Customized only.

Every eye shape is different and deserves a unique approach. We teach you to look at the eye, understand what it needs, and design a set that truly suits the person.

The mission

The lash industry deserves a higher standard.

Lash extensions have been booming for years — but the level of training has stood still.

Most courses teach you repetitive work: the same pattern, the same map, again and again. You learn technique, but you don't learn to understand.

The result? A market full of technicians, but rarely someone who truly makes the difference — for the client and for the craft.

The difference

What sets us apart

What LXQ does differently from other training programmes.

01

From technique to signature

We don't just teach you how to apply a set — we teach you to develop a style of your own. You leave the training not as a copy of someone else, but with an approach that's recognisably yours. That's what brings clients back.

We help you discover what your signature is: which sets suit you best, which looks you want to create, and how to make them consistent. In a market full of technicians who all deliver the same thing, a recognisable style is what makes you unforgettable — and what justifies your price.

Your style, your brand
02

Knowledge that goes beyond technique

We start with the why. Colour theory, facial proportions, eye-shape analysis — before you ever pick up a tweezer. So you understand what you're doing, not just how. And you carry that understanding to every client who sits in your chair afterwards.

Technique can be imitated, but insight makes the difference. If you understand why a certain curl suits a certain eye, you can handle any client — even the ones who don't fit a standard map. You become not an executor, but someone who makes deliberate choices.

Knowledge that lasts
03

Coaching by an experienced lash artist

Chiva trained — and then went further where others stopped. She experimented, refined and developed a style of her own that's now in high demand. What she teaches you, she's proven herself: in a real studio, with real clients, day after day.

That means no theory from a textbook, but lessons from practice: what works, what doesn't, and where you get stuck in the beginning. You learn from someone who knows exactly what it's like to start — and how to grow into work people come back for.

Knowledge

Every eye is different.
Every set too.

Most courses teach you one set for everyone. We start where it really starts: your eye shape. Because what makes an almond eye shine closes a hooded eye. That's why we design every set around the eye that wears it.

Almond

The all-rounder — almost any style works. Here the set gets to tell the story.

Round

Open and expressive. Length + lift give the eye direction and elegance.

Hooded

The lid steals space. Strategic curl & length open the eye back up.

Downturned

The outer corner points down. Lift with the right curl turns that around subtly.

Upturned

Natural lift of its own. Follow the line — don't work against it.

Wide Set

Space between the eyes. Inner-corner focus brings everything into balance.

Results

Before & After

Not a before-and-after to impress, but to show how a set is built around your eye.

I refill lashes up to 3 weeks after your appointment. The price for a refill is always €90, whether you come back within 1, 2 or 3 weeks. After 3 weeks a new set is applied.
Yes. Every set is fully tailored to your eyes. You can choose any style and shape you like, but it's always matched to your eye shape, your look and your natural lashes. Every set is a customized set and therefore has one fixed price of €130. For each new set I reserve 3 hours in my schedule, so there's enough time to create your set perfectly.
Appointments can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours in advance. In case of a no-show or late cancellation, the full cost is charged.
