LashCast

We are excited to have Winn Claybaugh join us in our LashCast studios. If you don't know who Winn is, you are in for a treat. We met Winn a couple of years ago at a conference and we're blown away by his talk. We were so excited by his presentation that we asked him to speak at LashCon this year and he said "yes"! So you won't only hear him here, you'll get to hear hi...

Do you struggle with having boundaries with your clients? Now I know some of you might say you have no issue, but over my 15 years of working with beauty pros, I'd say one of the biggest issues I see we struggle with are boundaries. We got into the beauty industry because we like to make people happy and because we don't learn anything about managing clients in beauty school, we tend to...

In the last five months, most of us have had to rethink our year as well as how we want to do business. While it's been a scary time, companies are being forced to think outside the box if they want to survive. While most of us don't like change, change is being forced upon us whether we want it or not. Mike and Shauna of LivBay Lash had to temporarily close their chain of lash salons as...

For many of us, when we got into beauty we dreamed of the day where Beyonce (or whoever your favorite celebrity is) would walk into your business and get lashes from you. To be able to serve high-end clients and charge top dollar is something we all hope to achieve one day. Today Sarah Maxwell, owner of Sarah Maxwell Beauty, joins us and gives us a peek of what it's like to serve an exclusive...

Tired of losing clients to the lash allergy? We have some good news for you!

Do you get stressed when a client arrives 15 minutes late? Do you get anxiety over wondering if a new client will like your work or not? What if someone comes with lashes that you never have dealt with before? Anxiety in the lash room is real and today the LashCast team shares how they have dealt with anxiety and stress over their careers. While there will always be stress when it comes to dealing...

Do you think it's possible to apply a full set of lashes in 30 minutes and actually charge over $100 for the service? I know it seems a little far fetched, but there is a new company called Vomor Lash that has taken on this challenge. Ada Polla Neill, the Executive Director, joins us in the studio to talk about this new service that she hopes will expand our lash industry to new customers who...

Do you feel like you belong to the greater lash community? If you are like most lash stylists I talk to you, it's hard to feel like you belong to this great lash family when you are stuck all day taking care of clients. We started LashCast as a way to connect all of us and to share ideas that would help us become better lash stylists. That said, Lauren Del Bianco has come up with a wonderful...

We get hit up all the time with questions on how you can improve your lash game or run your business better. We love to answer questions because when we got started in 2005, there was no one to ask. That said, we still run into lash artists who feel there is no one out there to help them...thus why we started our podcast. In this episode, we get through three questions...First, we answer the quest...

Tax season is coming up and this can be a scary time for many of us. And why is it scary? Because maybe you don't really know how to set up your business correctly, and you know that if you were to be audited, the IRS would most likely find out you still owe them money...and now with penalties and interest. Or worse maybe you have been intentionally cheating on your taxes and you know if you...

We saw a brave post by Ashlee Rouge of Lashout Xpress last year where she shared about how she and a friend don't see a lot of black lash artists being represented in our industry by lash brands. From there she explained how she has had doubts about her ability to run her own business because some clients won't want to see her because she's black. It was a brutally honest post that...

Have you ever wondered can I burn my client with my lash glue? Does my glue possibly cause cancer? If my client's lashes get wet, will that cause them to fall out more quickly? There is a lot of misinformation on lash glue on the interwebs and in today's episode, we cover 4 misconceptions lash stylists often have about lash glue. While you might be new to cyanoacrylate glue, this glue is...

Lash salons are slowly opening back up all over the world, but you are still stuck waiting for your chance to reopen. Since you have a lot of time to think about what's going to happen, your mind might have gone to the dark side and wondered, "Will all my clients return? Did a lot of them lose their jobs? Did they find a cheaper lash artist?" It can be dangerous to have a lot of tim...
