Lash salons are slowly opening back up all over the world, but you are still stuck waiting for your chance to reopen. Since you have a lot of time to think about what's going to happen, your mind might have gone to the dark side and wondered, "Will all my clients return? Did a lot of them lose their jobs? Did they find a cheaper lash artist?" It can be dangerous to have a lot of time on your hands. We reached out to you our listeners who have opened their salons and asked if you could share how it has been going so far.I know it's a scary time, but we are so excited to share this episode with you as the news from the front line is super encouraging. Lash Boss's are raising their prices with no issues, clients are returning in swarms, new clients are calling to get in and two salons who reached out to us are looking to hire more staff. We only had one person write to us that she is having some issues rebooking her clients, but even she was still working 10 hour days. Pretty much all the news we have heard has been amazing!If you need some encouragement today, this is a great episode for you to hear..and we know this is just the beginning but we are very hopeful that we'll all be very busy making the world a more beautiful place. ⁣Please join us every Thursday at 6pm (PST) on our IG @lashcastpodcast for all the latest updates and info you need during this COVID-19 crises.

PLEASE NOTE: For the time being we are recording these episodes while doing an Instagram Live on Thursdays at 6pm (PST) and we are taking the audio and making a podcast from them. Congratulations! Your state or county has given you the green light to open up. ⁣⁣How are you feeling about this? Are you concerned it's too soon...too late? Are your clients scared to come back? Have your clients left you to see other lash artists who do home visits? ⁣⁣You shut down your business in March thinking you'd be back in 2 weeks and now it's been 2 months. No one saw this coming.⁣⁣So much has changed and the way we do lashes has changed too. ⁣⁣Change can be scary and difficult. What if my clients don't return? What if I get sick? What if a client gets sick from coming to my salon...am I liable? ⁣⁣So many questions and so many unknowns. ⁣⁣In this episode, we want to talk about things you can do to set up your business for success during the Covid-19 crises. You are not alone! ⁣Grab a pen and paper as we'll be giving you a lot of information. Now if you are not a big note taker, we want to make it easier for you to get this information and use it.

PLEASE NOTE: For the time being we are aiming to record an Instagram Live Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6pm (PST) and we are taking the audio from these lives and making a podcast from them. Welcome to Day 43 of the LashCast Lockdown! You can see light at the end of the tunnel and it looks like we will be working again soon in our salons...in fact maybe you are already back at work. Finally, we can begin to make some money again.When we talk to some lash stylists, we keep hearing a trend that has us a little concerned. Some lash stylists feel they need to offer a discount when their clients come back. Say it isn't so Joe or Betty or whatever you name is. In this episode, we cover why discounting your service now is not the right strategy. In fact, what you really need to think about is raising your prices. We do get a little "mathy" in this episode but when you are done listening, you'll know how to calculate what your costs per hour are and what you need to charge so you can make a 15% profit with every month. We also explain how you should raise your prices in the coming days. It's not as hard as you think.

Welcome to Day 39 of the LashCast Lockdown! During times like this it's natural and easy to get down and feel helpless. One of the ways we combat depression and feelings of hopelessness is to focus on the good things that we have. Today Paul shares 20 things that he is thankful and shares some encouraging words about how we have some amazing opportunities ahead of us. In this episode, we pull back the curtain a little and share some of the silly things we enjoy in life but at the same time, we share that life isn't coming up all roses right now. Things are tough but we can get through this if when we do things like practicing gratitude every day.

Most of us have some time on our hands and one of the things you could work on right now is getting your website set up well to draw in new customers. Many of you might be thinking I don't know what colors I want to use but the real issue you need to be thinking about is your web's message. What are you saying? Having good branding is nice but having great messaging is essential. We talk about Donald Miller's (from Story Brand) "grunt test" and go into what it takes to have a great website header.
