    Stylist to Educator: The Mindset Shift

    Send us a message ✨ Becoming an educator sounds exciting - creating courses, teaching students and sharing your knowledge with others. But what nobody really talks about is the transition itself. In this episode, I share my personal journey from stylist to educator, from attracting clients to teaching students, and the mindset shifts I had to make along the way. I open up about: ✨ Feeling like a beginner all over again ✨ The imposter syndrome I experienced as a new educator ✨ Why teaching felt more stressful than working with clients ✨ Changing my content from attracting clients to attracting students ✨ Finding my ideal student and building trust ✨ Why perfection doesn't exist in education ✨ The lessons my students have taught me over the years If you're a lash artist thinking about becoming an educator, currently teaching, or feeling stuck between clients and students, this episode is for you.

    Are We Chasing The Wrong Version Of Success? | Loredana Irimia

    Send us a message ✨ What does success actually look like?

Shop Lash Oasis: https://lashoasis.co.uk/ We talk about moving from Romania to the UK, building a business from scratch, opening salons, speaking on international stages and becoming a recognised educator. But we also talk about the side people don't always see. The pressure to look successful. The need for validation. Building things from a place of ego. And realising that what you thought would make you happy isn't always what fulfils you. This conversation goes far beyond lashes. We dive into authenticity, personal branding, social media, recognition, business mistakes, therapy, confidence and the importance of building a business that actually supports the life you want to live. If you've ever found yourself wondering whether you're chasing the right goals, this episode is for you. I absolutely loved this conversation and I know you're going to take so much from it.

    Hannah Putjato: The Lash Market Has Shrunk

    Send us a message ✨ This week on Beyond The Tweezers, I'm joined by the founder of London Lash, Hanna Putjato.  From arriving in the UK from Belarus speaking almost no English, to building one of the biggest lash brands in the world, Hanna shares the story behind the business that so many lash artists know today. This episode is sponsored by London Lash, the go-to brand for professional lash products, education, and tools designed to help artists achieve consistent, long-lasting results.

Shop London Lash: https://londonlashpro.com/?utm_source=podcastsponsorship&utm_medium=videos&utm_campaign=behindthetweezers&utm_content=episode11 We talk about her early days working in a factory, completing beauty courses without understanding the language, and how beauty became the way she learned English. Hanna shares the moment she ordered thousands of lash trays from Alibaba, unknowingly filling her home with stock, and how that accidental leap became the beginning of her business journey. We also discuss how Lady Lash became London Lash, the surprising way the brand got its name, and why Hanna believes some of her best business ideas have come from listening to the people around her. In this honest and emotional conversation, we dive into the realities of building a global brand, navigating COVID, making difficult decisions as a business owner, and the lessons she's learned from leading a growing team. We also talk about the current state of the lash industry, why the market has changed so dramatically over the past few years, the rise of lash lifts and the wellness trend, and what beauty professionals should be focusing on if they want to stay relevant and successful in today's industry. Plus, a surprise from Hanna’s team leaves her unexpectedly emotional as we get to see a side of her that many people have never seen before. This episode is packed with honesty, business lessons, industry insights, and the inspiring story behind one of the most recognised global brands in the beauty industry. 🎙️ Listen now and join us Beyond The Tweezers.

  5. Building a Community, Not Just an Audience | With Terri

    Building a Community, Not Just an Audience | With Terri

    Send us a message ✨ In this episode of Beyond The Tweezers, I sit down with beauty artist and educator Terri for a conversation that goes far beyond beauty. Terri shares her journey into the industry, from taking her very first spray tanning course while working at Waitrose, to discovering a passion for teaching and travelling around the UK training beginners in beauty treatments. She talks about the moment she realised she was good at teaching, after helping another student who was struggling on a course she was attending herself. Throughout this conversation, Terri opens up about her experience with depression and the challenges she faced during some difficult periods of her life. She shares how becoming self employed allowed her to create the structure and working hours she needed at the time, helping her move forward while still protecting her mental wellbeing. One of the biggest focuses of this episode is the difference between building an audience and building a community. Terri has built a loyal community of people who genuinely trust her, and we dive into how she's done that through consistency, showing up as herself, supporting others and creating real connections. Terri also shares her experience of being bullied in the workplace, who spoke to her badly and made her working life incredibly difficult. She talks about crying outside, picking herself back up and walking straight back into the classroom to continue teaching. We also discuss authenticity within the beauty industry, why being relatable matters, and how some of the marketing we see online doesn't always reflect reality. This conversation is honest, inspiring and full of lessons that go far beyond beauty. It's about resilience, finding your confidence, staying true to yourself and building something that genuinely helps people. If you've ever struggled with confidence, mental health or you’re wondering how to build a community that truly trusts you, this episode is for you.

    We’re More Than Just The Service We Provide

    Send us a message ✨ Hello and welcome back to Beyond The Tweezers ❤️ In today’s solo episode, I’m talking about something I genuinely don’t think gets spoken about enough in the beauty industry… the emotional side of working with clients. This Episode is Sponsored By Lash Oasis. want to try their new Hybrid Korean Lash Lift Products? Try their sample range for FREE.

We become the therapist, the agony aunt, the safe space, the shoulder to cry on, the confidence boost, the person our clients feel comfortable enough to open up to. And while that side of this industry is incredibly special, it can also feel emotionally heavy at times too. In this episode, I open up about: ✨ The emotional bond we build with clients ✨ Absorbing other people’s energy and emotions ✨ Feeling emotionally drained without even realising ✨ The conversations and situations nobody prepares you for in this industry ✨ Protecting your energy and creating healthy boundaries with clients ✨ Why it’s okay to care deeply without carrying everybody else’s problems as your own I also share some personal experiences from my own career and why I truly believe this industry prepares us for the treatment… but not always the emotional side of working so closely with people.

    Plot Twist: I Became Allergic To My Industry | Elle Taylor

    Send us a message ✨ In this episode of Beyond The Tweezers, I’m joined by lash and brow artist Elle - best known as @LashElle on instagram. Elle shares the emotional reality of becoming allergic to her lash glue -  the very thing her career was built on. This Episode is Sponsored By Lash Oasis. want to try their new Hybrid Korean Lash Lift Products? Try their sample range for FREE. Use code: KARIS  https://lashoasis.co.uk/products/the-one-portion-system-sample-pack-3pcs?variant=47502539456738 After years of specialising in lash extensions, winning awards, and building a busy clientele, Elle began suffering severe allergic reactions that affected both her physically and mentally. Eventually, she made the difficult decision to stop offering lash extensions completely. We talk about the emotional impact of pivoting her business, rebuilding her books through Korean lash lifts, brows and dermaplaning, navigating quieter periods in her diary, losing confidence online, and how losing her spark with lash extensions - alongside the allergic reactions - ultimately pushed her to make a life changing decision. This is a raw and honest conversation about identity, change, rebuilding, and the hidden health risks that aren’t spoken about enough in the beauty industry.
