Over the last couple of years, I've met quite a few lash artists who are work part-time doing lashes and work full-time or part-time at another job. It is not easy to work a 9-5 job in the evenings and weekends build a lash business. 

In today's episode, we sit down with lash artist Lise McKinney who shares her experience of building a lash business while working a full-time 9-5 job. She also gives some great tips on how she finds new clients.

367. Explaining How the FDA's Recent Changes Impact the Lash Industry with Chemist Michael Becker

A few weeks ago we were at the Lash Boss Summit and PLA announced a big project that they have been working on for quite a while: PROMADE 2.0.

One of the big criticisms of promade lash fans is that they do not wrap, and because of that, their lash retention is not as good as that of handmade fans. PLA's PROMADE 2.0 changes all of that with its new patent-pending lash wrapping technology.

In today's episode, Tussanee shares how this new promade is going change everything we know about lashing. No matter who you are in the industry, this episode is a must-listen-to as it will affect everyone in the lash world.

Join Jodi and Alicia from Prolong Lash on a heartfelt exploration of leadership, empathy, and the real grind behind the glitz in today's podcast. Jodi shares an inspiring story about how her team supported her through challenging times, underscoring the profound impact of empathy in leadership.
