Makeup and lashes at Cosmo Ann Arbor
Students, faculty and hospital staff from the University of Michigan corridor book differently. Students book around formals and graduation, while staff on long shifts often want low-maintenance lashes that save them time every morning.
Clients here research before they book. Explaining the adhesive you use, how you protect natural lashes and how long a set should last builds trust quickly.

What a makeup and lash suite at Cosmo includes
Every suite is a private, lockable room with floor-to-ceiling walls, so a lash client can rest with eyes closed and a bride can get ready without an audience.
- Room for a lash bed or a makeup chair, set up the way you work
- Something of equal value for your makeup or lash work, in place of the shampoo bowl hair stylists receive
- A design package with a full-length mirror, millwork, a workstation and a luxury light fixture
- Freedom to change the suite to suit your brand, from wall color to lighting
- Utilities, Wi-Fi and commercial-grade washers and dryers on site for towels and capes
- 24/7 keypad access, with exterior and doorway security cameras
- No extra charge to share your suite with another licensed professional
Makeup and lash work that suits a private suite
Lash extensions are a recurring service. Fills every two to three weeks mean a full book is built on regulars, and a two-hour full set is far easier on both of you in a quiet room than in a busy salon.
Makeup is often booked around an event, so the work comes in bursts: a bridal party on a Saturday morning, a photo shoot, a prom or a graduation. A private suite with 24/7 access lets you start before sunrise on a wedding day without asking anyone.
Lighting decides how your work looks in photos. You can change the suite to suit your brand, so plan for even, color-true light at the chair and a clean wall for before-and-after shots. Walls can be soundproofed and upgraded suites are available, so ask about both on your tour.
Licensing for makeup and lash artists in Michigan
Michigan treats lash extensions, lash and brow tinting, lash lifts, brow lamination and most paid makeup application as skin care services. You need a Michigan esthetician license, or a cosmetology license that covers skin care, from the Board of Cosmetology at LARA. Esthetician training is 750 hours for anyone who started on or after July 1, 2024.
Running your own business may also call for a cosmetology establishment license for your suite. Permanent makeup and microblading are different: Michigan regulates them as body art, so they are not covered here. Confirm the current rules for your services with LARA before you open.
Building a makeup and lash book that refills itself
- Book the next fill before the client leaves. A lash client on a two- or three-week rhythm fills your calendar for you.
- Use bridal and event work to find regulars. A bride’s party is a room full of people who just watched you work, so make it easy for them to book lashes or brows afterward.
- Photograph every set and every look in the same light. Clients choose a makeup or lash artist from photos.
- Sell aftercare such as lash cleanser and brushes. In your own suite you keep 100% of your service and retail revenue.
