Do you want to stand out as a lash artist in your area or blend in? In this episode, I dive into the latest trends shaping the lash world and, more importantly, how you can use them to set yourself apart.

Whether you're in a packed city or a tiny town, staying on top of education, techniques, and client preferences is what separates a good lash artist from a go-to expert. Let’s talk about what’s hot, what’s fading, and how you can position yourself for long-term success.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Are you unknowingly blending in with every other lash artist?
• What are the biggest lash styling trends right now—and should you follow them?
• How brown lashes and color matching are revolutionizing client customization
• Is the technique you learned a decade ago holding you back?
• The lash industry is in it’s in-person events era! (why that matters for you)
• Lash artists who are thriving prioritize THIS

These aren’t just “here today, gone tomorrow” trends. This is how you build a long-term career in the lash industry with clients who see you as the only option - and how you keep yourself having fun and thriving in your business!

Have you ever hit a point where your to-do list feels like it’s never-ending, your brain won’t turn off, and no matter how much you hustle, you’re still overwhelmed? Yeah… same. In this episode, I pull back the curtain and get real about the burnout I didn’t see coming, how I knew I had to make changes, and what I’m doing to make my business (and life) sustainable again. 

No highlight reels here—just an honest look at what happens when we push too hard and how to find our way back. If you’ve ever felt like you’re juggling a million things and still dropping the ball, this one’s for you.
