Meet The Educator
Hi, I’m Calypso Upham — Founder & Lead Educator at Arizona Eyelash Academy!
Born and raised in sunny Tucson, I started my career in retail leadership and business development, stacking up 13 years of experience before fully diving into my true passion- enhancing beauty and education. After falling in love with lash extensions over a decade ago (yes, that first classic set changed my life), I knew I had found my calling.
In 2018, I invested in my first lash course and quickly realized that the learning curve in this industry is real. It took trial, error, and a whole lot of perseverance to master the techniques I now teach — After investing in my own education taking 7 different certifications I learned a variety of techniques that helped me build a successful career as a licensed lash artist and accredited Arizona educator.
Today, I run Arizona Eyelash Academy and Muse Salon De Beauté, where I mentor future lash artists and provide them with the kind of hands-on training, guidance, and support I wish I had when I started. This isn’t just a school — it’s a community. A space to learn, grow, collaborate, and create magic together.
Because at the end of the day… what’s life without lashes?
With love,
Calypso
