LashCast

In the last five months, most of us have had to rethink our year as well as how we want to do business. While it's been a scary time, companies are being forced to think outside the box if they want to survive. While most of us don't like change, change is being forced upon us whether we want it or not. Mike and Shauna of LivBay Lash had to temporarily close their chain of lash salons as well as their training program when Covid-19 hit, and they really had to think how could they continue to make money (while still paying their collective lease payment of $50,000 a month). While thinking of their options, they came up with the idea of offering virtual lash training using the Oculus Virtual Reality setup. Mike and Shauna posted this new development on their social media feed a month ago, and I immediately contacted them asking them to come on our podcast. Thankfully they said yes. In this episode, Mike and Shauna share a little about the unique struggles they have endured with the COVID-19 crises and give us the deets on their new exciting virtual reality training. On top of this, they drop one huge bit of news that you will have to listen to the podcast to find out. This project they are working on will have a huge impact on our industry. One of my hopes with this episode is that you'll be encouraged and inspired to look at your business and think outside the box. I know things are crazy hard but don't miss out in looking for the opportunities....they are out there.LivBay Lash Training: https://www.sassylashclass.com/LivBay Instagram: @livbaylash @livbaysupplies @livbayclassShauna IG: @sassybabesMike IG: @lashboymikeLivBay Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/livbay-lash/id1454687567GUEST ANNOUNCER: Courtney Buhler@courtbuhler@sugarlashproANNOUNCEMENTS:SIGN UP FOR OUR NEXT CLASS!How To Get More New Clients Than Ever in Your DoorDATE: August 24, 2020TIME: 4pm-7pm (PST)Please Note: A replay of the webinar will be available for 2 weeks to everyone who buys a ticket.

If you're like most businesses, you've seen things slow down at least a little if not a lot. It's a difficult time to build a business to say the least.We opened our salon back in 2006, and then the Great Recession hit us in 2008. Our timing was horrible. On top of a slowed-down economy, most people didn't even know what lash extensions were and there was no Instagram to help us to affordably market our business (yes we lived in the stone ages). While it wasn't easy, we found a way to grow our business in the midst of the recession. Even though the cards were stacked against us, we grew our little salon and even hired our first staff during the recession. We tried all sorts of ways to promote the salon...some worked well and others...not so well. In this webinar, we will break down and share all the marketing tricks and promotions that worked and got our salon to grow into being a 7-digit award-winning in Southern California.

For many of us, when we got into beauty we dreamed of the day where Beyonce (or whoever your favorite celebrity is) would walk into your business and get lashes from you. To be able to serve high-end clients and charge top dollar is something we all hope to achieve one day. Today Sarah Maxwell, owner of Sarah Maxwell Beauty, joins us and gives us a peek of what it's like to serve an exclusive clientele. Sarah has been doing lashes since 2008 and has built a business serving clients most lash artists dream of having. In this episode, we talk about how high-end clients generally want a subtle look and not the volume look we all see on Instagram. Yes, volume has a place in this world, but if you want to attract a more refined customer, learning the art of subtlety is a must-have skill. She also discusses why she's okay doing lash fills on other lash artists' work, how she struggled with boundaries with clients wanting to be friends and not giving in to the pressure to open up a lash salon. We could have gone on for two hours with Sarah...lot's of great content. I'm sure you'll enjoy hearing from Sarah and how she built her business.

Tired of losing clients to the lash allergy?We have some good news for you! You need to check out our podcast today where we have Dr. Warren Stout, our unofficial medical director, talk about all things lashes, and the biggest truth bomb he shares is how your clients can be allergic to the glue and still keep their lashes. If you have been doing lashes for a while, you have had a client eventually contact you and tell you that their eyes are puffy and itchy. This problem has plagued us since lash extensions started 16 years ago. If you go to a Facebook Group, you'll hear all sorts of advice: use clear glue, use a sensitive glue, take Benedryl. While some clients will see some improvement with these solutions...if you have been doing lashes long enough, you know these solutions are not 100% effective. In this episode, Dr. Stout shares how you can now 99% of the time have a solution that will work with your allergic clients. If you have been frustrated by this issue, this episode will be a huge relief. Dr. Stout also discusses how dangerous cyanoacrylate glue is and shares if the "seasonal lash loss" is real or not.

Do you think it's possible to apply a full set of lashes in 30 minutes and actually charge over $100 for the service? I know it seems a little far fetched, but there is a new company called Vomor Lash that has taken on this challenge. Ada Polla Neill, the Executive Director, joins us in the studio to talk about this new service that she hopes will expand our lash industry to new customers who might never set foot in a lash room. At first, if you are a lash stylist, this might trouble you or upset you...but please sit through the whole episode as this groundbreaking company might actually be helping us grow our industry.

Do you feel like you belong to the greater lash community? If you are like most lash stylists I talk to you, it's hard to feel like you belong to this great lash family when you are stuck all day taking care of clients. We started LashCast as a way to connect all of us and to share ideas that would help us become better lash stylists. That said, Lauren Del Bianco has come up with a wonderful idea to encourage and uplift all of us as a community. In this episode, we talk about Lauren's bid idea and how she hopes to connect all of us with a bi-weekly text. It's called Lash Line Bling, and it's the first of its kind. Lauren has a huge heart for our industry and I'm sure you'll come to love her as we do Lauren Del Bianco: IG @lasheyecon_Lash Line Bline Link: Text LLB to 883-629-0285Guest Announcer: Malaena Kelson IG: @lash_happyANNOUNCEMENTS:SING UP FOR OUR "Overcoming The Lash Allergy and How to Partner With a Doctor"DATE: July 27, 2020TIME: 4pm-6pm (Pacific Standard Time)Please Note: A replay of the webinar will be available for 2 weeks.In this online webinar, we'll bring light and insight into the most confusing and frustrating problems in our industry...the infamous glue allergy.

We get hit up all the time with questions on how you can improve your lash game or run your business better. We love to answer questions because when we got started in 2005, there was no one to ask. That said, we still run into lash artists who feel there is no one out there to help them...thus why we started our podcast. In this episode, we get through three questions...First, we answer the question of what are some product ideas that businesses can sell outside of the usual growth serums and lash washes. Adding new products to your store will help to keep your product sales energized all year. We share some of our favorites. Next, we talk about what you should be looking for in a volume trainer. We share some tips on what we have looked for when we have taken classes. Lastly, we answer the question, what are some signs your lash technique is improving. I hope you find our answers helpful! Let us know by giving some feedback on our IG page.

Tax season is coming up and this can be a scary time for many of us. And why is it scary? Because maybe you don't really know how to set up your business correctly, and you know that if you were to be audited, the IRS would most likely find out you still owe them money...and now with penalties and interest. Or worse maybe you have been intentionally cheating on your taxes and you know if you were to be audited, there's no way you to hide the illegal deductions or unreported income. Tax season can be a scary time for beauty professionals but it doesn't have to be. In this episode, we talk to April McDaniel, a CPA with Kopsa Otte. April and her team help beauty businesses like yours to pay the least amount of taxes over time so you can save money and also get better sleep at night not worrying about the IRS.April sits down with us and shares things you should or should not write off on your taxes. She also goes into some red flags that the IRS looks for in businesses that are cutting corners on their taxes. You don't need to be afraid of the IRS if you do your taxes right. Aside from not stressing about the IRS, April goes into some other benefits of reporting all your income that you might not have thought of. We hope you'll be encouraged by this episode to get a bookkeeper as well as a CPA so that you can keep your company in compliance with the IRS and so you can build a financially sound business. As always please DM us or email us your thoughts on this episode. We'd love to hear from you.

We saw a brave post by Ashlee Rouge of Lashout Xpress last year where she shared about how she and a friend don't see a lot of black lash artists being represented in our industry by lash brands. From there she explained how she has had doubts about her ability to run her own business because some clients won't want to see her because she's black. It was a brutally honest post that shows how racism affects black lash artists in our industry. Ashlee decided to repost this IGTV this week in light of the George Floyd murder and the ensuing protests (Go to @lashoutxpress to see it). When we saw it again, we felt that it was time to sit down and talk about race, and these issues Ashlee brought up on her Instagram page. We were blown away with how loving and understanding Ashlee is even when faced with racism and bigotry. She is an amazing woman who we are so grateful to have on our show and bring light to things many of us probably didn't even know about. We learned a lot from Ashlee, and we are sure you will too. In this podcast, we don't try to solve the world's problems but we do feel a responsibility to improve our lash industry. Racism is a sensitive but important topic, and we hope you'll see we just want to see our industry grow in a way where it becomes more inclusive and more loving.

Have you ever wondered can I burn my client with my lash glue? Does my glue possibly cause cancer? If my client's lashes get wet, will that cause them to fall out more quickly?There is a lot of misinformation on lash glue on the interwebs and in today's episode, we cover 4 misconceptions lash stylists often have about lash glue. While you might be new to cyanoacrylate glue, this glue is not new to the world...its been around for decades. We have been in the industry for over 15 years and during this time, we have talked to chemists, doctors, and other product lines about what they know about cyanoacrylate glue. Tussanee has also spent a ton of time researching what cyanoacrylate glues are and how they are made. In this episode, we just give you a peek into Tussanee's mind on this topic. We also announce we will be teaching our first online seminar on June 29th called "Everything You Need To Know About Lash Glue".
