    The Lash CEO Who Built Three Salons Before 30 (And What It Really Cost Her)

    What does it really take to build a beauty business from the ground up?  In this episode of Tell Me About It, Cait Muir sits down with Tash Rowe, founder of Lash Baby Australia. Tash opened her first salon at just 20. Today, Lash Baby Australia includes multiple salons, an online lash supply store, and a lash training academy that helps new lash artists raise the standard of the industry. But her path has been anything but easy. Tash has lived through flooding, COVID shutdowns, supplier scams, toxic workplaces, and the weight of leading a team in her early twenties. She also shares the real story behind her successful beauty business - not the highlight reel. This chat goes deeper than business, too. Tash opens up about leaving a toxic relationship, healing from anorexia, finding her strength again through MMA and the gym - and learning what it feels like to be backed by a partner who actually celebrates her wins. If you’re a salon owner, beauty therapist, female entrepreneur, or a woman rebuilding after a hard chapter, this episode is full of real lessons on client care, resilience, and self-worth. In this episode, we talk about: 💜 The accidental ‘sandwich shop’ moment that pulled Tash into the beauty industry at 16 💜 How Tash opened her first lash salon at 20 (and what she wishes she knew first) 💜 The simple shift that took her from one rented room to multiple lash salons 💜 How Tash launched a lash training academy and supply brand without a perfect plan 💜 What collapsed ceilings, floods, and forced moves taught her about staying in business 💜 The supplier scam that wiped out thousands overnight (and the warning sign she missed) 💜 What actually beats chasing new ones every time… if you want to maximise profits 💜 How MMA, gym training, and a trauma-informed coach helped her feel strong in her body Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:20 Meet Tash, lash empire builder 00:04:00 Sandwich shop to salon 00:07:40 The 10-page resignation 00:11:30 Falling for lashes 00:16:50 Becoming the lash fixer 00:18:30 First ceiling crack disaster 00:22:00 Second salon collapses 00:27:30 Training academy launches 00:29:30 The vanishing supplier 00:33:00 Truth about lash damage 00:42:00 Anorexia behind the success 00:44:00 Leaving the toxic relationship 00:45:30 MMA saved her life 00:50:00 The rescue dog story 00:55:30 Finding a real partner 01:00:30 What's next for Tash - 👉Connect with Tash: https://www.instagram.com/lashbabyaus/ https://www.instagram.com/lashbaby.salon/ - 👉Find out more about how we can work together: https://iconiccoaching.com.au/coaching/ - 👉Here’s how to connect: https://www.instagram.com/tellmeaboutit__podcast https://iconiccoaching.com.au

    Why I Refused To Discount And Had My Biggest Year Ever

    If you’re constantly being asked to “just do a quick favour,” lowering your prices to keep clients happy, or feeling weird about charging what you’re actually worth… you NEED to hear this. Right now, with tighter budgets and more competition, it’s easy to slip into undercharging, over-delivering, and giving away your expertise for free just to stay relevant. But that pattern doesn’t build a sustainable business - instead, it builds resentment, burnout, and clients who don’t value what you do. This episode is a direct, honest conversation about what’s really happening when you discount your work, why free advice isn’t as harmless as it seems, and how pricing impacts more than just your income. Tune in to discover ✅Why discounting your services can quietly damage your business ✅The difference between being flexible vs. devaluing yourself ✅What people are really saying when they ask for “free advice” ✅How undercharging creates imbalance, resentment, and burnout ✅Why higher prices often lead to better clients and stronger results ✅The connection between money, energy, and sustainable business growth ✅What changes when you start treating your expertise like it actually matters Key moments: 00:00  Intro 01:20  Why discounting without reason is a hill worth dying on 02:00  Meeting someone's budget vs. being bargained down 03:40  What your prices are really telling the universe 05:00  The "quick question" problem 06:40  What people are actually saying when they ask for free 08:40  The one-line script that redirects unpaid requests 09:00  The PT example: tiered support done right 10:40  Money as energy exchange 11:40  Why incomplete exchanges breed resentment 15:00  The $650 coaching call I was excited to pay 16:40  If premium prices trigger you, read this 19:00  Why higher prices create higher perceived value 20:40  Skin in the game: why paid clients actually do the work 21:40  What happened when I raised my prices 30% 22:40  Know your worth, then add tax - 👉Find out more about how we can work together: https://iconiccoaching.com.au/coaching/ - 👉Here’s how to connect: https://www.instagram.com/tellmeaboutit__podcast https://iconiccoaching.com.au
