About Accreditation Renewal

The lash industry is constantly evolving and discovering new, better, more-informed ways of doing things. Because of this, accreditation expires each year.

To maintain accredited status, review the annual accreditation requirement updates (sent to you via email every September) and update your curriculums accordingly before your expiry date.

Email your updated manuals to NALA within one week after your renewal date. We will not review manuals before the renewal date. More details available in the Accreditation Package online product under the accreditation section.

Your updated Certificate of Accreditation will be sent to you once your renewal fee has been successfully withdrawn. A digital copy of the certificate will be sent via email on the Monday after your renewal date.
