We now get 90,000 plus plays a month and will hit 2 million plays in about a month. We just want to say thank you to all of you...

We are so honored that people value our opinions and ask us these questions about these matters. It's one of the reasons why we started this podcast. Unfortunately, in our humble opinion, there is a lot of lash advice that's passed around that just isn't true or based on sound science.

That said, I believe saying that the market is "saturated" is usually someone just trying to find a cop-out on why their business isn't doing well. You just blame the market instead of taking ownership and realizing that, most likely, you are not marketing or building a business that people are drawn to. Michelle Nguyen, the CEO of Paris Lash Academy, entered a seemingly saturated market four years ago and found a way to grow her lash brand into a major player in...

We see too many lash artists being concerned about what others charge and it stops them from charging a higher price.

The key to charging more is giving the best value to your...

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...
