Most international students book a single skill and go home. The ones who come back and tell us it changed their income booked the 5-Day Full Brow & Lash Package at $1,750 — PMU, brow lamination and lash extensions in one trip, with both kits and a dual international certificate. Buying those three courses separately costs more and takes three trips. Here is exactly what the five days hold and why the combination, rather than any one of its parts, is the thing that fills a diary.
Why three skills beat one
A brow artist who only microblades has one service, one price point, and a client who returns once a year. Add lamination and lash extensions and the same client comes back every six to eight weeks — and the client who walks in for a lash refill is the client you convert to brows.
Look at what these services sell for on our own international menu to see the shape of it: classic lash extensions at $60, volume at $95, hybrid at $90, lash lift and tint at $55. Those are recurring, high-frequency bookings sitting underneath a much higher-value PMU appointment. Your local prices will differ, but the structure does not: PMU is the margin, lashes and lamination are the rhythm.
The five days
Days one to three — PMU: nano brows, microblading and ombre
The full PMU intensive sits inside this package. Brow mapping and facial symmetry — measuring to the face rather than a template, correcting years of over-plucking, agreeing the shape with the client before you touch skin. Colour theory: undertone, skin type, and how pigment shifts as it heals. Hygiene, contraindications and consent, including the client answers that mean you do not proceed today.
Then technique on practice skin and on the machine: hair strokes that follow real growth direction, nano work with a single-needle cartridge, and ombre and powder shading — the technique most clients over thirty-five actually want once you show them healed examples. You cover when to stroke, when to shade, and when to combine, which is the judgement that separates a technician from an artist. The full day-by-day breakdown is in our microblading vs nano brows guide.
Day four — brow lamination and tint
Lamination is the quiet workhorse of a brow menu: a one-hour service, no needles, no healing period, and a client who books it every six to eight weeks. You learn the chemistry rather than a timer — what the lifting solution actually does to the hair, why processing times differ between coarse and fine brows, and how over-processing produces the frizzy, straw-textured result you have seen on social media.
You also learn brow mapping applied to lamination, tinting to match the client’s hair and skin, combining lamination with tint and shaping, and — importantly — which clients should be told no. Our brow lamination guide covers how it compares to microblading for clients who want a reversible option.
Day five — lash extensions: classic, volume and hybrid
Isolation first, because everything else depends on it — a lash tech who cannot isolate cleanly will produce stickies, and stickies damage natural lashes and end careers. Then classic application (one extension per natural lash), volume fan-making by hand (2D to 6D), and hybrid mapping that blends the two for texture.
Beyond application: adhesive behaviour and how humidity changes your working time — genuinely useful if you are returning to a very different climate — plus styling to eye shape, curl and length selection, safe removal, and the aftercare that determines whether your client comes back at three weeks with a full set or a patchy one. That aftercare conversation is worth reading in our lash aftercare and refills guide.
Live models, every technique
The package includes multiple model sessions — not one token model at the end. You work brows on skin, lamination on a real client, and lashes on a real eye, because that is the only way to learn pressure, timing, movement and the pace of an actual appointment. We do not issue certificates without model work, and you should not accept one from anyone who does.
Both kits, included
The fee includes the full brow kit and the full lash kit. As the authorized Goochie distributor for Nepal, we equip students on genuine professional equipment — a PMU machine from the range that includes the Goochie G6, premium pigments, and single-use cartridge needles such as the Goochie PRO range. You leave knowing what your equipment is, what refills cost, and where to restock. Exact kit contents are confirmed at enquiry.
A dual international certificate
You receive a dual certificate covering the brow and lash disciplines. Treat it for what it is: evidence of your training, techniques and hours for a local regulator, insurer or employer — not a licence. No private certificate anywhere is a licence, and PMU is regulated differently in every country. Tell us what documentation your market expects and we will make sure your paperwork matches it.
Fitting it into a trip
Five training days plus two days either side is a ten-day trip, comfortably. Nepal offers visa on arrival for most nationalities at Tribhuvan International Airport, which is why short training trips here are far simpler to arrange than in countries requiring a study visa months ahead. We can provide a letter of invitation on request, arrange airport pickup, and help you find accommodation near the studio at Sohrakhutte so you are not spending training days in traffic.
October to November and March to April are the most comfortable months and the best for travelling on afterwards. Training runs indoors year round. Visa rules are set by the Government of Nepal and can change, so confirm the current requirement for your passport before you fly.
Is the 5-day package right for you?
We would rather you booked the correct course than the biggest one. Choose the package if you want to open or relaunch a studio, if you want recurring bookings underneath your PMU work, or if you can only make one trip and want maximum return from it. Choose a shorter course instead if you already do lashes well and only need brows, if your budget is tight and you would rather start with the $220 lamination day or the $450 lash course, or if you cannot spare ten days.
Tell us your situation honestly and we will tell you which one fits — including when the honest answer is the cheaper one. You can see student and studio work on our gallery page.
Frequently asked questions
What is included in the $1,750 Full Brow & Lash Package?
Five days of training covering PMU (nano brows, microblading and ombre), brow lamination and lash extensions; both the brow kit and the lash kit; multiple live model sessions; and a dual international certificate. Fees are quoted in USD for international students, payment plans are available, and pricing is confirmed at enquiry.
Is the 5-day package better value than booking courses separately?
Yes, and it is one trip rather than three. Taken separately, the 3-day Nano Brows and Microblading intensive is $1,450, the 2-day Lash Extension Course is $450 and the 1-day Brow Lamination Course is $220. The package covers all three areas at $1,750 with both kits included.
Can a complete beginner take the 5-day package?
Yes. No prior qualification is required and training is in English. The five days are sequenced so that mapping, colour theory and hygiene come before technique, and technique comes before live models. Working beauticians take the same programme, weighted to what they already do.
How many live models will I work on?
Multiple sessions across the disciplines — brows on skin, lamination on a real client and lashes on a real eye. Model numbers are confirmed at booking. Tell us in advance if you are travelling with a friend who could model, as several students come in pairs.
How long should I stay in Kathmandu for the 5-day course?
Plan about ten days: five training days with two either side for arrival, rest and travel. Nepal offers visa on arrival for most nationalities, we can arrange pickup from Tribhuvan International Airport and help you find accommodation near the studio at Sohrakhutte Chowk.
Which services will I be able to offer when I get home?
Nano brows, microblading, ombre and powder brows, brow lamination and tint, and classic, volume and hybrid lash extensions. The value of the combination is that lash and lamination clients rebook every six to eight weeks, which keeps a diary busy between higher-value PMU appointments.
