About me
I am a licensed cosmetologist who specializes in eyelash extensions. My passion lies with offering a safe place for individuals of all types to receive beauty services. What sets me apart is my skill with colored lashes, glitter lashes, lash decals and my signature wispy technique. I believe that lash extensions don't just have to be black, and that instead, they can be customized and personalized to fit everyone's style.
I recently entered the world of education and am currently training at PCI Academy to teach esthetics. I am excited for the opportunity to sharw my knowledge and passion with new cosmetologists and estheticians.
As a long term goal, I would love to partner with different brands to globalize the idea that lashes can be fun, and are also for all people. I currently offer discounts to individuals struggling with gender dysphoria, and I would love to help other business adopt and create inclusive practices.
I believe that when you know better, you should do better, and as a society we have some catching up to do. I envision myself contributing to the growth of the industry by partnering with businesses and people who believe the same.
Education
Why I'm here
I started my career in the beauty industry as a single mom living in poverty. I spent most of my childhood lonely, and I moved around a lot. Hair, nails and makeup had always been a hobby for me, and after having my 4th child I knew that I had to make a big change if I wanted my children to have a better life than I did. I decided to go to school at PCI Academy, thinking that I would get a job in a salon once I was licensed.
Once I learned eyelash extensions, a switch flipped for me and I knew that it was going to be my niche. It came very natural to me, and I loved the instant gratification a new set of lashes offered. I quickly took up popularity with clients looking for a more affordable way to receive eyelash extensions. I was able to build up a solid clientele while in school, and most of them followed me once I graduated and moved into my rental space.
