    142. How to Turn First-Time Lash Clients into Loyal, Repeat Clients

    In this episode, I broke down one of the most important (and often overlooked) parts of building a successful beauty business: client retention. Because let’s be real...your lash business isn’t built on one-time appointments. It’s built on repeat clients who trust you, come back consistently, and create stable, predictable income. In this episode, I share exactly what to say (and how to say it) to first-time clients so they feel confident, comfortable, and excited to rebook, even if something doesn’t go perfectly during their first appointment with you. In This Episode You'll Learn: 💖 Why repeat clients are the foundation of a sustainable beauty business ✨ How communication directly impacts client retention 🫧 What to say to first-time clients to ease nerves and build trust 🌈 How to set clear expectations during consultations 🪐 The importance of educating every client (even experienced ones) 🩷 How to handle feedback or dissatisfaction without losing the client ⚡️ Simple ways to open the door for honest communication 🫶🏼 Why follow-up and rebooking are key to long-term success Let’s Be Friends!

    141. My Experience at International Lash Expo AZ 2026 + Is Attending Industry Events Worth It?

    In this episode I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes recap of my experience at the International Lash Expo (ILE) on March 1st, 2026! This year I had the opportunity to attend as both a speaker and a vendor, which gave me a unique perspective on the event from multiple sides of the industry. I’m sharing what the experience was like, what the energy of the event felt like, and some of the biggest takeaways I had from being surrounded by so many passionate beauty professionals. We also dive into a bigger question many lash artists and beauty pros ask: "Are in-person industry events actually worth attending?" If you’ve ever wondered whether conferences, expos, or beauty industry events are a good investment for your time and money, this episode will help you think through how to decide if one is right for you. In this episode we talk about: ✨ What it was like speaking and vending at International Lash Expo ✨ What attending an event like ILE is really like from the inside ✨ How to decide if an industry event is worth attending for you ✨ What to look for when choosing events in the beauty industry ✨ The networking, inspiration, and opportunities that come from being in the room Whether you're a new artist or a seasoned pro, getting out from behind your treatment bed and into spaces with other beauty professionals can completely shift your perspective on what’s possible for your career and business. If attending an event like this has been on your mind, this episode will give you a clearer picture of what to expect and how to make the most of the experience.

    138: Modern Branding for the Next Era of Beauty Businesses with Sydnee McGee

In this episode, I sit down with Sydnee McGee, an educator and business coach, to talk all about branding for beauty professionals.
