Today we get to interview Katie Gross owner of Lash Artist Box and Suburban Lash. We have known Katie for a while and finally got to sit down with her while we were at IBS Vegas Show this last June. Katie shares with us some of the struggles she has had in starting two businesses and goes into detail what the Lash Artist Box is all about. We also get to talk about one of her goals and that's getting her salon to be recognized by Salon Today as a Top 200 Salon. We discuss what this great honor is about and how setting this as a goal can be a great help to your business.
