Loana began her journey in the world of beauty by obtaining her Cosmetology license over 30 years ago and focused on the hair and nails industry. She witnessed for herself what joy this industry can bring to her clients and quickly knew she had found THE BEST job ever!

After years of completing various roles as a Cosmetologist, Loana decided it was time to focus her career in the areas of the industry she loves most, Lash and Brow Services.

Her main goal is to ensure that each and every student receives special attention, leaves her class with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed as a lash and brow artist.
She very much enjoys the daily interaction with clients, students, and customers alike.

Student Testimonial
I completed the Elleebana Online Lash Lift course with Loana. She explained and went over everything so well. I feel super confident! Is it strange for me to say I loved every minute of it? LOL! Honestly that was the best online training I’ve ever taken. I took my microblading course online too and it was nothing like this. I felt so lost after I took that and unfortunately had to seek additional information and another company to learn. But THIS lash lift course was amazing ❤

I recently took the brow lamination and lash lift course with Loana, she is AMAZING! Very thorough in explaining the processes, she made herself available outside of the course if I had any questions while doing my case studies. Highly recommend taking the course with her.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Elleebana training with Loana! At first all the information felt overwhelming but after getting through all the modules with her, I was very excited to get into the online portion of the training and then to start the actual case studies. What I really loved was Loana’s attention to detail!! I felt that she wanted me to be the best at the lamination services. Even though I did the course online, I felt that she was right here with me, as she saw all the areas that I could improve on, and she gently coached me into getting it right! She always found something positive to say for the case studies, and I always felt supported and encouraged. I appreciate the training so much, thanks Loana!!

I enrolled in the lash lift/lamination conversion course for the Elleeplex Profusion. I have been looking for a product that would deliver eye catching results with safe, conditioning, and strengthening benefits for my clients lashes and brows. This product checked all the boxes. To be honest though, I didn’t have any expectations in regards to the training. Often times these sorts of conversion trainings are very simple, short and basic and are predominantly product knowledge. I was pleasantly surprised! My trainer, Loana Barker, immediately contacted me. She made sure that I had everything that I needed and was fully supported through the entire process. The online portion of the course was time considerate, product thorough, technique enhancing and yet very understandable and relatable. The case studies portion had a clear definition of expectations. Study by study, Loana evaluated and provided feedback that was extremely useful. Following the completion of my case studies, she and I had a video call and the quality of service was consistent with everything else I had experienced. I highly recommend this product line and their training program to anyone who is interested in learning new skills or enhancing those that they already have. I’m sure I will be doing more with them! Thank you to Loana and the Elleebana team!

The detailed guidance was exactly what I needed to perfect my technique.

Jessica Larmore – Trained Student
Elleebana is a great brand with high quality tools and extremely in depth detailed knowledge of every aspect from application, performance, and the science. But what I cannot say more about is my educator Loana, she managed to keep me on track to make sure I was able to complete, understanding my incredibly crazy schedule behind the chair and managing a full salon. She gave tips and tricks and offered around the clock support in any questions I had. Highly recommend this company and their products!!
