In this episode, our very own Erika changes roles and allows us to interview her. We talk about what it was like for her as an employee to go through a salon closing and how her mindset really made this big change for her go smoother than one would expect. She also shares about her transition into being a business owner and how she came up with the new name for her business. Erika also discusses her change of scenery that is coming this February and how we will be moving forward with LashCast when we are no longer neighbors. Paul and Tussanee shared their side of the story when they closed Integrity Lash back in May and now you'll get to hear another perspective to this life-changing event that happened to us. We hope you'll find this episode to be encouraging and full of our helpful information and tips.
