For most students who want to offer a full range of lash services, the Lash Bundle is the better choice — it covers Classic, Russian Volume, and Mega Volume extensions in one package at a lower combined cost than buying each course separately. Individual courses make sense if you only want to add one specific lash technique to skills you already have.
Whether you're starting from scratch or adding to existing beauty skills, choosing between the Lash Bundle and individual lash courses comes down to what services you want to offer and how much you want to invest upfront. Here's a clear breakdown.
What's in the Lash Bundle?
The Lash Bundle combines three individual courses:
- Classic, Hybrid & Pre-made Volume Lash Course — natural through to pre-made volume sets
- Russian Volume Lash Extension Course — handmade volume fans (2D–6D)
- Mega Volume Lash Extension Course — extreme volume and mega fan techniques
Together these cover the full lash service menu that most clients expect from a professional lash technician. You also have access to 1:1 mentorship throughout and 12 months to complete the courses.
Individual Lash Course Prices vs the Bundle
Here's a cost comparison for the without-kit option:
- Classic, Hybrid & Pre-made Volume (individual): $1,440
- Russian Volume (individual): $1,440
- Mega Volume (individual): $1,200
- Total if bought separately: $4,080
- Lash Bundle: $2,880 (with kit) — significantly less per course when the professional kit is factored in
If you're buying without a kit, compare the current bundle and individual prices on the Bela website to see the exact saving — pricing can be updated over time. The bundle consistently offers a meaningful discount versus buying separately, especially with the kit included.
Should You Start With Classic Only?
The Classic, Hybrid & Pre-made Volume course is the natural starting point for any new lash technician, and some students prefer to complete it and start taking clients before progressing to Russian Volume. This is a perfectly valid approach — you start earning sooner, and you can add more advanced techniques once you're established.
The trade-off is cost: if you eventually want to offer Russian and Mega Volume (which most established lash techs do), buying the bundle upfront is cheaper than buying courses one by one. The bundle locks in the best per-course rate from the start.
When Do Individual Courses Make Sense?
There are genuine cases where an individual course is the right choice:
- You're already a qualified lash tech and just need one technique: If you already offer Classic and just want to add Russian Volume, buying the Russian Volume course individually makes sense.
- You only want to offer Classic lashes: Some technicians focus exclusively on Classic sets (natural-look clients are a steady market), in which case the full bundle includes more than you need.
- Budget constraints: If you can only afford one course right now, starting with Classic is a practical choice that lets you begin generating income before adding techniques.
What About the Lash Lift & Tint Course?
The Lash Lift & Tint Course is a separate offering from the lash extension courses and is not included in the Lash Bundle. Lash lift and tint is a different service (no extensions — it works with the client's natural lashes) that pairs well with brow lamination for a complete eye service menu. If you're interested in offering both lifts and extensions, you'd purchase these separately.
Our Recommendation
For students starting a lash business from scratch, the Lash Bundle is the clearest path to a complete, professional lash service offering. You'll learn in the right sequence, pay less per course, and have the skills to offer every major lash style that clients ask for.
If you already have some lash skills and just need to fill a gap, individual courses let you do exactly that without paying for what you already know.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to complete the Classic course before doing Russian Volume?
Yes. Russian Volume builds on the isolation and application skills developed in Classic training. Bela recommends completing the Classic course and practicing on models before progressing to Russian Volume.
Can I buy the courses separately and still get mentorship?
Yes. All individual courses and bundle courses include 1:1 mentorship and assessment submissions with personalised feedback.
Is the Lash Bundle available with a kit?
Yes. The Lash Bundle is available with or without a professional lash kit. The kit includes the tools and products you need for the practical components of the course.
What's the difference between Russian Volume and Mega Volume?
Russian Volume uses 2D–6D handmade fans for a full but natural-looking volume set. Mega Volume uses ultra-fine lashes in very large fans (8D–16D+) for an extremely dramatic, full effect. Most technicians learn Russian Volume first, then progress to Mega Volume.
How long does the Lash Bundle take to complete?
Most students complete all three lash extension courses in the bundle within 4 to 6 months studying part-time. You have 12 months of access from enrolment.
