Did you know that most of the lashes we use in our industry are made in China, North Korea, and Vietnam?"Of course I know that Paul...I wasn't born yesterday. Tell me something I don't know". Did you know if I close my eyes, I only see clowns? Wait...let me try this again!Um...did you know that Bella Lash is making lashes in the United States at this very moment as I type this made-up conversation? "What? You crazy Paul. That's impossible". True I might be crazy (we can talk about that on another episode) but the truth is Bella Lash has accomplished something most lash artists and brands thought would never happen. We are honored to have Zach and Haley Chipman come on our show today to share details of this exciting development. They have spent the last few years spending millions of dollars with a dream of making lashes here in the states and bringing jobs back home...and after a lot of hard work, they've succeeded. One of the lessons from 2020 is that we rely on importing lash products from Asia too much. As long as we have to import most of our products, we will see shortages and delays in the availabilities of our lash supplies. Now that Bella Lash is making lashes stateside, there is hope now that this problem could be a thing of the past. BTW...if you have been wanting to start your own lash product line, this might be the easiest and most affordable way for you to start your own brand. You won't want to miss this episode. We hope you will be inspired as much as we were. What Zach and Haley have accomplished is a game-changer and we look forward to seeing how this will continue to evolve and push our industry to new highs.
