Lamination is the brow treatment clients now ask for by name. Unlike a tint, it works on the hair itself, softening and resetting it so the brow sits in a fuller, brushed-up shape. That makes it a higher price point than a standard brow appointment, and it is one of the few brow services clients will travel for.
It is also a chemical treatment, which is why this module is the longest of the brow courses. Two of its six units are given over to contra-indications, contra-actions, patch testing and consultation before you reach the procedure itself. The course is delivered online, with Victoria demonstrating each stage in step-by-step video.
Lamination sets the hair but does not colour it, so most therapists tint in the same appointment — Eyebrow Definition covers tinting, waxing and threading, and Henna Brows covers the longer-lasting alternative. Lash Lift uses a similar chemical process on the lashes and is a natural pairing.
You need a lamination system (lifting and setting solutions plus nourishing balm), applicators, a brow comb, patch test supplies and the usual consultation and hygiene items. Our Brow Lamination Kit supplies these together. It is optional, but stay with one system while you learn — timings differ between brands.
There are 29 units across four modules, and the lamination module is six units — the longest of our brow courses, because the safety and consultation side needs covering properly before the procedure. Practice sessions also have to be spaced out, since every model needs a patch test first. Most students complete their training within a few weeks to a few months.
Entirely online. The procedure unit is the one to watch closely: timings for the lifting and setting solutions are where most beginner results go wrong, and Victoria works through them at the pace you would use on a client. You arrange your own models.
All 29 units are assessed, with unlimited resubmissions. This is the one brow course where a large part of the assessment is about what you do before the treatment — patch testing, consultation, and identifying the hair and skin conditions that mean you should not proceed.
Yes — by ABT, IPHM and IGCT. The certificate is recognised by insurers including Towergate, Radius, Insync and Balens. Because lamination is a chemical treatment, insurers are particularly likely to ask about your patch testing procedure, and each sets its own requirements.
No, but this is the course where the kit choice matters most. The Brow Lamination Kit matches the system shown in the videos. If you use a different brand, follow that brand’s timings rather than the ones on screen.
No, though this is a chemical treatment, so the groundwork matters. The Anatomy and Physiology module opens with hair structure and removal, and the Skin Healthcare module covers skin types and disorders — both feed directly into the contra-indications unit.
The Foundation module’s 12 units cover business promotion, promoting products and services, reception duties, retail legislation and taking payments. Lamination sits at a higher price point than most brow work, so the pricing and promotion side is worth the time.
Tutor feedback on every assessment, our private student group, and lifetime access to your materials — so when you switch lamination brands you can go back over the procedure and aftercare units and adjust.
Your diploma is issued by Next Step Beauty and carries accreditation from the bodies below. Those accreditations are what insurers look for when you come to arrange cover.
Your login details arrive by email as soon as you enrol, and the platform works on a computer, tablet or phone. Each unit has tutorial videos and an eBook covering the theory, followed by a multiple-choice assessment you can retake as often as you need. Completing a module unlocks the next one.
Once you have worked through the theory, you submit case studies of your practical work. Your tutor assesses them against industry standards and gives you written feedback. If they ask for changes, you can resubmit as many times as you need, at no extra cost.
When you complete the course you receive a diploma certificate, available to download straight away and yours to keep. Your course materials stay available for life, so you can go back over anything later.

Victoria Arpels
Founder and Head of Training
Victoria started where most of our students start. She trained in beauty therapy while working as a therapist in a busy spa — learning the theory in one place and practising on real clients in the other.
Then she kept adding to what she could offer, building up treatment by treatment through intensive specialist courses, before going on to earn a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) and a Certificate in Education, and to lecture in further education. She has been the student learning an unfamiliar technique and the tutor assessing someone else’s work, which is a large part of why our courses are built the way they are.
She founded Next Step Beauty in 2008 because getting good training still came down to what you could afford and how close you happened to be to a college. More than 100,000 students have trained with us since.
She has stayed close to the teaching rather than stepping back from it. As Head of Training, Victoria works with the tutor team who assess the case studies you submit and write the feedback that comes back to you, and she is personally involved in the private student groups. Whichever course you choose, you are learning from people who had to practise it themselves first.
