February 21, 2024 03:15 - 19 minutes - 26.7 MB

Over the last year, there has been a massive shift in our industry. More and more people are trying UV light-curing adhesives, and it's ruffling some lash artist's feathers.

A week doesn't go by where someone doesn't ask us what we think about the light-curing adhesives.

February 15, 2024 02:43 - 43 minutes - 60 MB

It seems almost every day I go on IG I hear people talking about how important it is to have multiple streams of income as well as passive income. At first glance, this idea sounds great (and it is), but what bothers us is most people selling this idea are trying to get you to buy their classes, webinars, or ebooks...and I they tend to make it sound like it's easy to do. In today's episode, we share the whole picture of what it really means to have multiple streams of income. LASHCON T...

February 07, 2024 03:37 - 1 hour - 82.8 MB

We've spent a couple of weeks studying this new thing that's hit our industry called MRR (Master Resale Rights). What is an MRR...it's a digital course that someone can sell, and when someone buys this course, they are allowed to resell it to their followers. We recently got access to a class and checked out what it was selling. We also have done a lot of polling from our lash family to get what you think. In today's episode, we break down what we have heard from our followers, and we share...

Back in 2018, when we first came up with our lash business conference, LASHCON, we also knew we wanted to start a coaching program that was affordable and allowed us to help lash artists build a business they were proud of. Our plans were to launch LASHCON and then start our coaching program. Then covid hit and to our happy surprise, LASHCON, blew up in a good way over the last 5 years. We were not really prepared for how big LASHCON would grow and how time-consuming it would become. Whi...

December 28, 2023 23:15 - 29 minutes - 40.5 MB

December 01, 2023 22:29 - 1 hour - 84.3 MB

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.

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.

November 18, 2023 02:38 - 28 minutes - 39.5 MB

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 that is what everyone else is doing. If you choose to do Black Friday there needs to be an actual strategy behi...

We went from not knowing how to run a salon and losing money to implementing solid salon systems and being profitable. They were a business lifesaver. Because they helped us so much, we are partner...
