LashBase is a very successful British lash brand that had plans to open its US branch back in March of 2020 just as....you know it...Covid hit. Instead of launching their new brand, where they had spent a large amount of money, they had to pack things up and head back home before the US or the UK shut down all travel. Flash forward almost 2 years later and just now LashBase is launching their new venture.Today Jamie Butler joins us to share a little about this crazy journey and how things are going with the US launch. We are also excited to have Jamie on to discuss his "unpopular opinions" (and we share ours too). Normally Jamie on his hugely popular IG page asks you to share your unpopular opinions about the lash industry but today we got Jamie to agree to share his unpopular opinions. We had so much fun that we ended up recording enough content for two episodes. In today's episode you'll just get the first part of our discussion and then next week we'll release part 2 of our interview where we spend the whole episode discussing our unpopular opinions. This was a very fun episode for us and hopefully, we'll see you next week for part 2 when we unpack even more unpopular opinions.BTW...here is a link to the video we mention that Jamie made 4 years ago. The clip is from the movie "Downfall" and has Hitler dealing with a client's complaint that her lashes did not last very long. It's a classic!JAMIE BUTLER'S "DOWNFALL" LASH RETENTION VIDEOhttps://youtu.be/9m7L2dE5q_8ANNOUNCEMENTS:⁣⁣⁣LASHCAST'S ELEVATE BUSINESS INTENSIVEWe will be in Australia March 4-13 and while we are there we will be hosting our Elevate Business Intensive at two locations.

We love salon owners! We have always felt they have the most difficult job in the lash industry. Now we are a little biased as we ran a lash salon for 13 years. That said we have talked to quite a few lash brand owners who have also ran salons in the past, and most of them have agreed running a salon is super hard.One of the things that makes it difficult is the way employees often like to quit their jobs...by burning the bridge. Now I get it...some bridges need to be burned as not all employers are respectful and kind to their teams...but I feel overall employees burn the bridge because it helps them to justify why they are leaving. In today's episode, we talk about how we need to see more professionalism in our industry and that there needs to be a better way for employees and employers to end their time working together. We share one way that we think would really help to improve working relations.

Promades and Premades are making huge strides in our industry. 5 years ago, most people hated the idea of these kinds of lashes and if they tried them, they'd say that the lashes were clunky and not as pretty as handmade volume.Cut to 2022 and everything has changed. Recently I saw a couple brands share that their largest selling lashes are now premades and promades. Obviously the quality has improved and lash artists are warming up to the idea. Today we have Ashley Gonzelez back to talk about promade lashes and why it's something you need to consider. Promades save you time and the quality has improved a lot in the last few years. If you haven't tried them, hopefully you'll consider giving them a try now. https://www.shopbeautyliscious.com/IG: beautyliscious_lashesANNOUNCEMENTS:⁣⁣⁣LASHCAST'S ELEVATE BUSINESS INTENSIVEWe will be in Australia March 4-13 and while we are there we will be hosting our Elevate Business Intensive at two locations.

What are your thoughts about lash maps? Do you love them? Do you just wing it? Maybe you've developed your own system for design?When Tussanee started doing lashes in 2016, lash maps were not a thing...but over the last 5-6 years it seems like lash maps are pretty much standard now when it comes to applying lashes. Lash maps are so popular now, trainers include designing lash maps as part of their training. For us lash maps can be a great tool, especially when you are first learning how to lash, but in the long run, we feel lash maps can actually keep you from becoming a great lash artist. In today's episode, Tussanee shares why she doesn't use lash maps and shares a little about how she approaches lash design. We don't hate lash maps and if they are your jam, please keep using them. That said, we hope you'll be to hear our view on this matter and maybe rethink how you do lash design.

The lash industry is unique from the rest of the beauty industry in many ways but one of the biggest differences is most lash artists work for themselves. I'd even say most never worked for a lash salon or any kind of salon before they opened their business.While I know our industry celebrates this independence as a good thing I do feel it does hurt our industry in some ways too. Most lash artists have no business training or modeling to follow when they start their business so this means they are going to make more mistakes and some of them can be quite costly. As former salon owners, we have always felt we should follow the hair salon model where you graduated from beauty school and you work at a salon where you can be mentored. Going straight out of beauty school into a salon suite can be quite disastrous and actually slow down your growth.In today's episode, Natascha Darling comes on to share why she was glad to be an employee for 15 years before she finally took the plunge and opened her own business. This is not your typical success story and we are excited to share Natascha's journey in hopes more new lash artists will consider following her path. Natascha shares some wonderful tips along the way and talks about how her business has evolved where she now travels to do lashes. Getting paid good money to fly across the country to do someone's lashes is a dream I know many of you would love to see happen in your business.

Why do you post what you do on our IG page? Are you trying to attract new clients? Are you trying to educate your clients? Are you trying to impress other lash artists?Sometimes when I look at lash artists' IG pages, I scratch my head because it appears some of you just think your IG is a good place to vent your frustrations. In today's episode, we talk about how we need to make sure our IG page is attracting new clients and not scaring them away with our rants. We also talk about how we enforce boundaries so we don't get to that breaking point where we feel our only recourse is to post something negative on our IG page.ANNOUNCEMENTS:⁣⁣⁣LASTCAST ELEVATE BUSINESS TRAININGWe will be in Sydney and the Gold Coast in Australia in early March and we'll be hosting our signature business training 1-day seminar called Elevate.

RUTHIE BELLE DISCOUNT CODE: LASHCASTSave 20% for 30 days on all productsWhen we first started working in the last industry back in 2005, if you asked another lash artist for any sort of info or help, there'd be no way they'd do anything to help you. You'd have better luck breaking into Fort Knox than finding out what glue a lash artist was using. Thankfully our industry has changed a lot in the last six years and one of the people who has helped to bring that change is Ruthie Belle. We are excited to have lash legend Ruthie come on our podcast and share her wisdom and insight. Over the last few years, Ruthie has been building an online tool that she wants to give to you.

Making big changes in your life can be crippling. So many doubts and fears can swarm into our minds. "What if I fail?" "What if I can't pay my bills?" "What if my second-grade teacher Mrs. Johnson was right and I'll amount to nothing?"We've all been there and it's never fun. In today's episode, Marley Ortiz goes into detail about how it's been a difficult journey to go from a steady job that provided stability to a job working full-time as a lash artist where she would have to rely on herself for everything. We really enjoyed talking to Marley and hearing her story and know you will really enjoy her openness and transparency.

How do you price your services? Do you charge by time, by service difficulty, by how many certificates you have on your wall? There seems to be a lot of confusion on how much you should charge.Years ago when we first got into lashing there were salons charging by how many lashes you applied. One salon near us would charge you a different price for 30 lashes, 60 lashes, or 90 lashes per eye. I remember hearing stories where clients would try to count how many lashes were applied just to make sure they were not getting ripped off. While I'm thankful we have gotten away from that bad "best practice", a lot of lash artists still don't seem to know how to charge for their services. Everyone loves to say "charge your worth" online but what is your worth? In today's episode, Kayly Hertz of Educated Artistry Podcast joins us in the LashCast booth at the Lash Vegas IBS show (yes we recorded this almost 6 months ago). Kayla has been podcasting for over 2 years now and in this episode, we sit down with her and talk about pricing. It's a great conversation and Kayla gives some great tips...so pull out your pen and paper so you can write them down.

We are finally back!The LASHCONference 2021 was a huge success! We took some time off from the podcast to wrap things up and we are now ready to get back at it!For our first episode since LashCon, we thought we'd pass out a handful of "thank yous" to all the people and brands who made our con happen and we thought we'd share some of the lessons we took from this year's event.While running a 500 person event is not exactly the same thing as running a lash business, we tried our best to find things we learned that will also help you with your business. The plan is to bet back to our weekly podcast so you can start to look for new fresh content from us!I do want to say thank you to everyone who attended LashCon and for all the love and support we have received since the event ended. Overall the response has been amazing and we are so motivated to make LashCon an even more amazing event next year! We hope to sell tickets starting in March of 2022.

Hey Guys...we are in the thick of getting the LASHCONference ready for you (we have over 475 people coming) so we've been a little slow in getting our podcast done for you. In today's episode, we are going to do one more flashback from LashCon 2020. Tussanee and I share how we got over our largest failure in our life...closing our salon. We know a lot of you have gone through some hard times over the last two years. We hope this episode will be encouraging and give you a good road map to follow on how to get your business back on track. We still have tickets available for the LASHCONference!

Today we did a baby episode on what is happening with vaccine mandates and our conference. Today the City of Los Angeles announced a new vaccine mandate for anyone who meets in any kind of closed space. This has a lot of people worried that it would affect our conference so I felt it was important to post a quick podcast talking about what is happening. Here's some good news...our event is not in Los Angeles...it's in Pasadena and at this time there are no vaccine mandates in this city and I believe that will continue to be so at this time.

Have you been thinking about working with a partner to launch or maybe expand your business?Running a business by yourself is a lonely endeavor so it makes sense to want to partner with a friend or family member to grow your business. The problem is having a business partner can actually cause more problems than it helps. Finding a great business partner is not something to take lightly. In today's episode, Taylor Wettlaufer and Anada Dobbs from House of Volume share insights into what it's like to work together as business partners. For them, it has worked out very well but that's because they really match up well in each other's strengths and weaknesses. If you are thinking about joining forces with a colleague or friend this is a great episode to listen to before you make that move.ANNOUNCEMENTS:⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣THE LASHCONFERENCE 2021 (AKA LASHCON) TICKET SALES ARE UP!⁣⁣⁣⁣It's this November 6-8, 2021. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Go to: www.thelashconference.com for details. ⁣⁣There are three tickets to choose from:⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐨𝐧𝐞 - This is for our bonus event on Friday.

Finding new clients can be difficult. It can be a costly and time-consuming activity. Paying for online ads, running promotions with your clients, or just going out in your local neighborhood all take a lot of effort and there is no guarantee someone will come in to pay for your services. This is why when we had our lash salon seeing over 700 clients a month, we focused on retaining our clients and getting them to return every three to four weeks. It's much easier to keep clients than have to keep finding new ones. In today's episode Joey Coleman, our keynote speaker from the Virtual LASHCONference in 2020 is going to blow your mind with how you can create systems that will help you never lose a customer again. Joey is the best-selling author of the book "Never Lose a Customer Again" and this book changed our whole perspective when it comes to the customer journey. It's a must-read.

So many of us when we get into lashing dream of taking care of our clients and that makes us happy. We just want to be busy enough to pay the bills and take care of our families. But for some of us, doing lashes is just the beginning. There is so much more that we want to do in the lash industry. Helena Garret is one of those people who is super driven and always looking for new challenges. We enjoyed getting to know Helena a little while we were at Las Vegas IBS this past June.

We have known about Otto for years and when the opportunity came for him to be on our show, we jumped at it.Otto is an industry leader and has done a lot to grow and further the lash industry. We could not wait to sit down and pick his brain on all things lashes. In this episode, Otto shares a little about his journey in the industry and then we break down lash lifts and why you need to add them to your service menu. In the last part of the episode, we get to hear about Otto's secret rock and roll career he's been working on. The name of his band is boWsER and recently his band has been nominated for a Gold Coast Music Award.

What were you doing when you were 17? Did you have a game plan and know what you wanted to do for your career?I had some ideas of what I wanted to do but I definitely had no plans to have my own business. For many people, I know the fear of the unknown and fear of failure keep them from taking chances and pursuing their dreams. Blaze Lloyd the founder of Lashiivo is not one of those people. We really enjoyed talking to this dynamic young woman who started her first lash salon at the age of 17. While I'm sure there are things that scare Blaze, when it comes to building a business, she is quite fearless. Her story is unique and I'm sure you will be encouraged and inspired by it. She's only been doing lashes for a short time and already has a lash salon and product line. Blaze does not wait for permission to try things...she just does them and figures it out as she goes. www.lashiivo.comIG: @lashiivoANNOUNCEMENTS:⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣YOU NEED TO ENTER THE FIRST ANNUAL "LASHIES"⁣⁣There are two divisions to choose from: SOLO LASH ARTIST AND LASH SALON OWNER.⁣⁣⁣⁣In each division, there are five categories: Overcoming Story, Customer Service, Client Retention and Referral Program, Technology, and Salon Design.⁣⁣⁣⁣Each category essay will be rated by multiple anonymous judges.

We've been in this industry for over 16 years and there still seems to be a lot of confusion over what causes the lash allergy. Pretty much every week I see posts with good intentions passing on information that is just incorrect when it comes to the lash allergy..also known as contact dermatitis. Today we have a Dr. Matthew Zirwas, an expert in contact dermatitis, join us to talk all things allergies. Dr. Zirwas wrote a book on contact dermatitis and consults with companies like Google, Facebook as well as Luum who we consult with too. Dr. Zirwas will challenge you on what you think you know about lash allergies. This is a must listen to episode and if you haven't listened to it yet you should go back and listen to episode 78 with Dr. Warren Stout.

What are your thoughts on booth rental?For many employees renting a booth or room is the dream. You're tired of being paid commission or hourly and renting a room from a salon owner means you get to be your own boss. I know many of you listening to this podcast hope to one day have your own space and most likely you'll start renting a room from someone else. Booth rental for employers can be a nightmare...if you run a team-based salon (commission, hourly, team-base pay) then you probably hate booth rentals and feel like they are your biggest enemy (along with salon suites). So for one group the words "booth rental" brings joy and for another group it brings dread.With that said, we sit down with Christine Petrun of Eyelandlash and talk about what it's been like since her salon switched to booth rental. For Christine, it's been a wonderful experience and she shares how it's been for her this last year. We also go into the benefits of Groupon which I know many of you don't think the words "benefit" and "Groupon" should go in the same sentence. Hopefully, when you are done with this episode, you'll have a more open mind towards discount sites like Groupon. We think the world of Christine and we think you will too when this episode is over.

How patient are you? A little? A lot? It seems in the age of Instagram, patience can be difficult to find. Everyone wants 100K followers overnight and wants to make 6 digits in their business in their first year. I get it...waiting for life to unfold can suck.In today's episode, we sit down with Amber Kwong of Makeup Memories who shares wisdom from her lash over decade-long lash journey. One of the things that impressed us about Amber was her patience. She knows what she wants and is willing to put in the time to make it happen. We were impressed with Amber's attitude and approach to her business and we're sure you'll find inspiration from her story too.

Lashing can be such a pain. Working hunched over all day, barely eating, and sometimes not even having time to go the bathroom. We are so excited to be our own bosses when we get into this business, but so many of us are the worse boss we've ever had. We don't eat well, we don't take care of our bodies...and sadly we don't do anything to change our situation. Abby O'Sullivan of Foxit Fit and Foxie Lash comes on our show to talk about how you can take better care of yourself. She explains how ART is much better for you than a message, she goes into things you can do to make yourself feel better when working, she gives some diet tips and we discuss typical issues lash artists struggle with. If you want lashing to be your career, you need to take care of your most important asset...your body. You should check out Abby's Instagram page as it has helpful tips and you can learn more about her program she's offering. @[email protected]:⁣⁣⁣YOU NEED TO ENTER THE FIRST ANNUAL "LASHIES"There are two divisions to choose from: SOLO LASH ARTIST AND LASH SALON OWNER.⁣⁣In each division, there are five categories: Overcoming Story, Customer Service, Client Retention and Referral Program, Technology, and Salon Design.⁣⁣Each category essay will be rated by multiple anonymous judges.

Is it possible that there are people who exist in this world who shouldn't get eyelash extensions? Is that even possible?Unfortunately, there are...just like there are people who don't believe in unicorns (those poor fools). We use to say that lashes are for everyone...but we have come to see that there are some exceptions to that statement. We want them to be for everyone but there are some people it's just not a good fit or the right time. In today's episode, we share who shouldn't be getting lash extensions. Plus we share some insights on clients we think can get lashes but are often told they can't have lashes (one might have something to do with the lash allergy). BTW...if you disagree with us, please reach out to us. We love to engage with our listeners!ANNOUNCEMENTS:⁣⁣⁣YOU NEED TO ENTER THE FIRST ANNUAL "LASHIES"There are two divisions to choose from: SOLO LASH ARTIST AND LASH SALON OWNER.⁣⁣In each division, there are five categories: Overcoming Story, Customer Service, Client Retention and Referral Program, Technology, and Salon Design.⁣⁣Each category essay will be rated by multiple anonymous judges.

If you are like me, I don't lose a lot of sleep worrying about someone hacking my social media accounts or stealing my identity. Why do you think I sleep well at night not being concerned about these things? Because I'm WAY too trusting which means I'm actually a prime candidate to have someone hack one of my accounts. Until recently I never added two-factor authentication and if someone forced me to do that, I'd get annoyed (not too bright I know). In today's episode, Melissa Rudolphi of "Lash Like a Pro" fame, shares how her account got hacked and held for a ransom. It's a crazy story and something that can happen to anyone.Melissa also goes into what you need to do to protect your IG account and what to look for from potential scammers. The lesson of the story here is do not be like me, and don't trust anyone online (unless it's me asking for your banking info...I'm very trustworthy). This is a good episode and I hope when it's over you'll make every account you have online use the two-factor authentication process...yes it's a pain in the but losing your IG account you spent 5 years building would be an even bigger pain.ANNOUNCEMENTS:⁣⁣⁣YOU NEED TO ENTER THE FIRST ANNUAL "LASHIES"There are two divisions to choose from: SOLO LASH ARTIST AND LASH SALON OWNER.⁣⁣In each division, there are five categories: Overcoming Story, Customer Service, Client Retention and Referral Program, Technology, and Salon Design.⁣⁣Each category essay will be rated by multiple anonymous judges.

Dreaming of starting your own lash brand?You've come to the right place. Ilona Alidzaeva, the CEO of Revoläshion, is back for part two of our interview where she shares more details on what it's going to take for you to start your own lash brand. Starting your own lash brand is no easy task. Almost every lash brand owner I've ever talked to has shared "off the record" that starting their brand has come at a heavy price. Broken friendships, estranged family members, lawsuits, and all sorts of craziness that they never had to deal with when they were a lash artist.Ilona in this episode continues to shed light on the difficulties and what it really cost her to start her brand. Her openness is so encouraging and we hope if you are thinking about starting a lash brand that this will prepare you for the journey ahead of you. It's so rare to see a lash brand owner be so open and down to earth about what it really takes to build a business. Even if you aren't looking to start your own brand, I know you'll walk away with some inspiration for your business.

If you are like most lash artists I know, you love to lash but after a few years of lashing, you have started to think about what new challenges can you take on?Maybe you want to become a trainer? Maybe start a lash clothing line? Or maybe start the first-ever used lash extension recycling company (eww...please don't do this). Or maybe...start your own lash line? Sounds fun right? But what will it cost you? What will you need to sacrifice to the lash gods to make it a reality? In today's episode, we have Ilona Alidzaeva, the CEO of Revoläshion, come on our show and share all the deets on what you need to be prepared for if you want to start your own lash brand. She goes into great detail on her actual costs, and how long it took for her to bring her brand to life. We had so much to cover in this episode that we decided to cut it into two parts. You'll need to come back next week to catch the second half. These two episodes will truly give you a good idea of what you need to do if you are going to start your own lash line. BTW...if you already have a lash line and it's not quite taking off as you hoped, this is still a great episode for you as you might find out some of the things you need to do differently to get your brand going in the right direction.

Tired of your back hurting? Do your clients hate the feeling of you breathing on their forehead (eww)? When you place a lash, do you know for sure that you have a great bond, or are you just hoping you hit your mark?If you said yes to any of these questions, then you need to get yourself a pair of medical loupes."I know Paul...I'd love to but I have no idea what loupes to buy."That's why Tussanee and I are here to help you today with our special loupe podcast episode.In today's episode, we sit down and share our favorite three brands we have used over the years and share what you need to be looking for. We also discuss why you really need to switch over to loupes if you are serious about your career. While we are pushing three loupe companies there are many more for you to choose from. In the end, pick the one that is best suited for you (just don't buy the cheap loupes you can get on Alibaba for $150...so not worth it).

We all love tips...but do you report your tips to the IRS?"Eww...really Paul...you're making me sick...why did you have to ask THAT question? I think I'm going to throw up." I know...not trying to upset anyone but this is something I feel we all need to talk about as there can be serious consequences if you don't do it correctly. Newsflash...if you get into a beef with the IRS...they always win. Now, if you are like many lash artists, I'm guessing you don't report any of your tips or maybe you only report some of your tips. Even if you do report your tips I know you are certainly tempted to not do it...I know we have over the years felt the temptation. But is not reporting your tips a good idea? I get it...we work hard for our money and it sucks to give the IRS any of that hard-earned cash. In today's episode, we have Terry McKim and Lauren Zomolsky from Tippy to answer some questions you might have about tipping and share why reporting your tips is a smart business decision. Now, who is Tippy? Tippy is a digital tipping solution that was built for the beauty industry. Tippy save business owners money on processing fees and increasing tips for service providers! We love their service and have wanted to share who they are and what they do. If you have a team, they can save you a lot of money, and even if you are a solo artists you can save money too. Aside from explaining the benefits of reporting your tips, we sit down with Terry and Lauren to learn how their tipping solution can be a great new system that you can add to your business and save you money.

How's your lash retention? Good? ⁣⁣Let me ask you this...Are your clients go 4 weeks between appointments? Ah....now how good is it? ⁣⁣Most lash artists that I know say they like to see their clients every 2-3 weeks. If you can get your clients to come in every 3 weeks, I'd say you are doing great...but wouldn't even be better if you could get them to go 4 weeks between appointments? ⁣⁣This would allow you to get more clients and you could charge more since your skills are at a higher level. The demand for your services will most certainly go up.⁣⁣In today's episode, Tussanee breaks down how you can improve your lash retention. You are going to get a sneak peek into her lash retention and styling course. ⁣⁣We wish everyone could take Tussanee's lash retention course but we understand that probably isn't a realistic goal...so instead, Tussanee shares her secret sauce today on our podcast. Now it's not easy to teach lashing techniques with no visual but do our best to at least give you an idea of how Tussanee gets her clients to go 4 weeks between appointments.⁣⁣BTW...we plan to have two more in-person classes this year where you can learn the Integrity Bond. We'll be announcing those dates hopefully soon. ⁣⁣ANNOUNCEMENTS:⁣⁣THE LASHCONFERENCE 2021 (AKA LASHCON) TICKET SALES ARE UP!⁣Save November 6-8, 2021. ⁣⁣There are three tickets to choose from:⁣⁣𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐨𝐧𝐞 - This is for our bonus event on Friday.

Do you love premade lashes? ⁣⁣Yes? ⁣⁣No? ⁣⁣When I see surveys on this topic, I'd say that the majority of lash artists still don't love them. ⁣⁣Some lash artists feel they can't really design a custom set of lashes the way they can with volume lashes...others feel like it's cheating...I mean they spent $5000 on three trainings over the last 4 years...was that all for nothing? ⁣⁣In today's episode, we have Cheryl from Untamed Artistry and Michelle from Imperfection Is Beauty join us to talk about all things premades.

In our last episode, we talked to the CEO of Luum about the lash robot that has everyone talking on Instagram. If you haven't heard that episode you need to go back just one episode and listen to that one before you move forward with this one. Today Tussanee shares why and how we ended up working with Luum Lash over 4 years ago. It's been an interesting journey and we feel it would be helpful for our lash community to know how this all came about.Tussanee also breaks down what the customer experience is like. While many think the experience looks uncomfortable, you'll be surprised to hear how safe and relaxing it actually is. In the end, we share why we feel this technology will actually help to grow and force us to become better lash artists. Change can be scary and difficult but we feel in this case our industry will only get better as a result.

Just as life for the lash world was returning back to normal from Covid...out of nowhere a video popped up last week on Instagram and Tik Tok showing a person getting lashes from a robot! What a robot..say it ain't so!I could hear lash artists all over the world screaming at their phones asking why in the world do we need robots to do lashes? (Getting my lashes done by the Lash Terminator doesn't sound relaxing.) Some thought the video was a joke and others wondered if they were going to be replaced. As I read through the comments the responses varied greatly, but overall I'd say I saw a lot of fear and frustration. After the video went viral, Tussanee and I decided it was time to reveal where Tussanee has been consulting for the last year. We've been sharing with you that she was working on an exciting project but until now we've kept the details secret. One day after the lash robot went viral, Tussanee shared what was really going on and introduced Luum Lash to the lash world. Thankfully the majority of our lash tribe that follows us seemed to be intrigued and excited about the idea of a lash robot. In today's episode, we sit down with Philippe Sanchez, the CEO of Luum Lash, and ask him some important questions. Why do we need lash robots? Is Luum Lash attempting to replace human lash artists and is the technology dangerous to clients? Philippe answers all these questions and more. We hope when you are done listening that you'll see that this new technology is not something to be afraid of, but rather is the beginning of a new exciting chapter for our industry where we can see our industry grow even more. You don't want to miss this episode.

The Covid lockdowns taught us a lot of lessons in 2020. Don't depend on the government to rescue your business, don't depend on manufacturers overseas for your products, and most importantly, always listen to LashCast before you go to bed at night with your nightcap (okay...maybe the 3rd lesson is more me just trying to brainwash you). That said, getting products from lash companies in 2020 was difficult at times...in fact, it's still difficult to get premade fans in 2021. Mike and Shauna of LivBay Lash, who are always thinking outside the box, had dreams of buying a manufacturing plant overseas...sounds fun! Unfortunately, after they did some research and they came to the conclusion that this idea would not float. "So if we can't own our own lash manufacturing plant overseas...how can we achieve our lash dreams of world domination?" they thought (Okay...I just made that up...but you'll get to hear what they really thought on our episode). Once they realized making a manufacturing plant overseas wouldn't work they started to think about producing lashes here in the States. While the idea at first seemed crazy, as they looked into it and met with engineering firms, the idea seemed quite plausible. In today's episode, Mike and Shauna come on our show again to share about their journey to bring lash manufacturing here to the states. As expected it hasn't been a cakewalk. They expect to be producing lashes out of their location sometime this summer, and we can't wait to give their lashes a try. As an added bonus we also discuss some of the pain points of salon ownership towards the second half of the episode.
