In today's episode, Tussanee shares her best practices for talking to your clients during a service. This episode might seem super "basic" for some lash artists but the truth is what we are talking about today isn't something we hear many people talking about. No matter where you are in your lash journey, we feel this episode will help you improve your interactions with your cl...

Being a mom and building a business is no easy task. It's very difficult to give all your attention to your business and then turn around and give 100% to your little ones who call you mom. They both seem to need all your attention all the time. How does one balance work and family life? I see people asking this question all the time. In today's episode, Ashley Lopez of The Luxury Lash S...

Have you ever wanted to do something but everything in my body screams at you that you can't do it? If you are like me this happens all the time when I start dreaming about "what's next"?Pursuing things that seem to be impossible can really open up opportunities for you and help you learn lessons that can set you up for success in the future. In today's episode, Mindy Lam...

We've been hearing from lash artists, as well as lash brands that business has slowed down a lot in 2023. After talking to a bunch of "insiders" in our industry...we have thought of a new culprit that might be driving clients away from our businesses. In the past when the economy has been down, beauty seemed to be recession-proof...but that doesn't seem to be the case this time...

Are you running a Black Friday special with your business this year? Are you feeling the pressure that if you want to be a "real business," you need to jump into the Black Friday insanity? Black Friday can be a fantastic tool that can build your business, but for most businesses, I see out there, it's a horrible way to lose a lot of revenue because you give away the farm because tha...

In today's episode, we are featuring a podcast we were on a few months ago called "Behind the Lash Chair". The host, Alexis Weisenburger, was gracious to ask us to be on, and we had a blast. Please look up her podcast and give it a listen as she has a great lineup of guests on her show (there is a link below).We really enjoyed our time with Alexis as we got to talk about what option...

If you have listened to our podcast for a while, you know we love a coaching company called Strategies. This company has been around longer than the lash industry and, in humble opinion, offers the best salon systems in the beauty industry. We hired them back in 2013, and they changed our life. We went from not knowing how to run a salon and losing money to implementing solid salon systems and bei...

It's been a hot minute since we posted an episode. I think this might have been our most extended break ever! We wrapped up LASHCON four weeks ago, and it was amazing.

In today's episode, we are excited to introd...

We think the world of Jodi and Alecia, and we hope you'll go check out their YouTube channel after you he...

Every year we go to LASHCON, we run into people who share how our event has changed their lives. They met their lash bestie; they met a lash brand that wants to hire them; they got inspired to make a huge change in their life...and the stories go on an on. LASHCON can be quite emotional for us as we hear these amazing stories where people's lash careers are changed for the better. In today&ap...

A few years ago we saw Shannon Sin on Instagram making a lot of noise for a lash brand in a good way. Her Reels and videos were just so much fun to watch. We talked about having her help us out at LASHCON but due to scheduling issues, we weren't able to make it work. Now Shannon works at The Lash Shop as their development manager and still helps some with Instagram. In today's episode, S...

Tina and Annie are great friends, and together, they have built one of the UK's largest lash brands over the last 7 years.

We see on Instagram all the time trainers and lash companies tell lash artists to never settle for anything less than the best trainings and products. Sounds like good advice...but it falls a little short. Most of them assume my products and training are the best, so buy them...but often they don't explain why theirs is the best. We are just supposed to trust them. In today's episode, we...

Over the years, I have noticed most lash artists have no idea what is going on in their financials. As long as their bank account doesn't hit "zero" they are good. In today's episode, we have Cecilia Wiscomb of Elan Artistry joining us to talk about finances, CPAs, bookkeeping tips, as well as her favorite subject, Quickbooks. Cecilia is a lash artist with a background in accou...

The 3rd Annual Lashie Awards are here, and this is the year you are going to apply! Over the last two years, we've had a few hundred lash artists apply, and out of that group, 47 lash artists have brought home a Lashie Award Trophy. We started this award program because we saw so many competitions that awarded lash artists for great lash work, but no one recognized great lash business operato...

On June 25th Deb Bazzle, owner of Lash Story Studios, lost her whole business in just a few hours to a fire. What would you do if this happened to you?

Deb thought she was protected, but when she checked her policy, it turned out she was only covered for $5000 in damages...to get back on her feet, she needs over $30,000.In this episode, we tal...

This last week was interesting. We made a post saying that we feel it's okay to lash clients who have a stye. We had some very loving and kind lash artists contact us and inform us that they thought this was bad advice. At first, we doubled down and said that we didn't see what was wrong with lashing someone with a stye. It's been a while since we've given this issue some thoug...

We leave for IBS in a few days and our Las Vegas Lash Social is this weekend! We can't wait to hang out with you and have a blast at our penthouse suite at the Sahara Hotel. We thought today we'd share some tips on how to network when you come to industry parties and mixers. When I was young I hated networking and the main reason I didn't like it was that I felt I was being fake. I...
