Listen Later

Ready to move from “practicing at home” to a booked-out lash business? In this episode of Full Time Lash Artist, we break down the real-world steps to leave your comfort zone, start charging confidently, and use simple Instagram/Facebook tactics to fill your calendar—without signing a risky long lease.

What you’ll learn

  • Validated risk, not blind risk: How to move from home to a professional space (short, flexible terms; rent a bed/room; avoid 3-year leases until you’re breaking even).
  • When to start charging (even with friends/family): The mindset shift, how to set expectations, and why professionalism and policies matter from day one.
  • Aftercare = retention insurance: What to explain pre- and post-appointment and how to send quick video/text instructions to reduce “my lashes fell out” messages.
  • Pricing that grows with you: Why you should price mid-market at first, then raise ~20% when you’re consistently booked (and why you won’t lose the clients you want to keep).
  • Offer ladder that converts: Lead with an aggressive Classic promo to get the booking, then educate in-chair to upsell to Volume at full price—ethically and transparently.
  • Simple ads that actually work:
  • Create a Facebook Business Page and connect it to IG so every post cross-shares automatically.
  • Boost before/after creatives to women within a 2–5 mile radius.
  • Objective: Get More Messages (no website required).
  • Start at $5–$10/day, scale if DMs increase; remember one full set can cover a week or more of ad spend.
  • Use neighboring cities if IG says your audience is too small.

Who this is for

New and growing lash artists who want a clear, practical path to paid clients, stronger retention, and consistent bookings—without overcomplicating marketing.

Resources/Next Steps

  • Turn on your IG professional account and link to your Facebook Page.
  • Prep a simple aftercare text/video and send it to every client.
  • Post a clean before/after today and boost it with the “Messages” objective.
