    In this week's episode Lauren shares an amazing conversation she had recently with Tylar from Unreal Artistry in Beaconsfield, Australia. Tylar got started in the Beauty Industry at the age of 15, and worked both in Australia and in Canada (in all different types of beauty businesses) before returning to Melbourne to establish her own Salon Business. Tylar is now known throughout the Industry for her unique and amazing Salon location, and her world class Client experience.
    Tylar begins by sharing the journey of how she got started in Business, and then goes on to share just some of the ways that her Salon Goals experience in 2023 has helped to change both her business and her lifestyle.
    "You won't regret doing Salon Goals". ~ Tylar (Unreal Artistry, Melbourne)

I recently had the pleasure of tuning in to the Lash Business Lounge by Lauren Lappin and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The level of information and the clarity of structure in each episode left me genuinely delighted.

From the very beginning, it was evident that this podcast is a cut above the rest in terms of delivering valuable content. Very informative and pleasant to listen to. I found myself learning something new with every installment. Lauren’s depth of knowledge and her ability to convey complex ideas in a simple and engaging manner were truly commendable.

The Lash Business Lounge is a shining example of what a great podcast should be. Its commitment to providing informative, real world, well-structured, and genuinely useful content is truly refreshing. I eagerly anticipate each new episode and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a podcast that not only informs but also enriches their knowledge. Keep up the fantastic work!
