Every year, when we wrap up LASHCON, we ask our attendees what they would like to see next year… One of the top requests is that we bring LASHCON to the East Coast because they say no one does events there. Now, that might happen in the next year or two, but until we bring our event out there, there is a huge need for an event to serve the East Coast lash community. In today’s episode, we are excited to have our good friends Stephanie and Pat Nunnari on our podcast to discuss their new lash...

In today's episode, we continue our UV light series with the founders of Lash Apothecary: Olivia Knight, Curtis Knight and Ann Frehner. They have been distributing their OPAL UV light system for a while and have done a lot of research to make sure what they are selling is safe. We have talked to a bunch of lash companies selling UV lights and sadly many have not been able to provide us any info on the safety of their products...thankfully Lash Apothecary was able to. Olivia, Curtis and Ann...

In today's episode, we welcome Valerie Nah (known as @beautygalval on Instagram) to our show for the first time.

We are excited to announce that we are partnering with Val, who will oversee our social media and be the magician behind the scenes, making our page more impactful. While we have no issues going on social media, we need some one to push and guide us. Already in...

We took a couple of weeks off from the UV talk, but we are excited to be back with Soo-Jin Yang of Illuminos Lashes, the creator of the first UV light system in our industry. Soo-Jim came up with the idea of using UV light technology 12 years ago, and she had to move mountains to make it a reality in 2019. Her story is very inspiring and just shows you how tough-minded you need to be when everyone around you is telling you "no". Aside from hearing about how she created the first UV light...

We are excited to add this episode to our UV light series. If you have been on IG the last few years, you've probably seen a video showing a robot applying eyelash extensions to a client. The response from lash artists has varied. Some are excited, but most seem very skeptical. In today's episode, Nate Harding, the CEO of LUUM, comes on our show to update us on how their lash robot is progressing. He explains how it's safer than a lash artist holding a pair of tweezers, and we discuss how...

The CEO of PLA, Mcihelle Nguyen, joins us in the LashCast booth to talk about a partnership we have built and will continue to work on this year. Last year, we spoke at a two-day Lash Business Masterclass that PLA hosted at their office in Reno. It was a huge success, and the feedback was over the top. We have decided to do two classes this year. We also recorded a lot of our talks, and PLA is offering a more budget-friendly online version in case you can't make it to Reno this year. In...

We continue our UV light series today by bringing back our favorite chemist Michael Becker to the studio. In the last three episodes, we have had a physicist and a doctor give their insights on the safety of this UV light technology but today we pivot and bring in a chemist who understands how the UV light adhesives work. Michale has been researching this new trend and helps to dispel any fears a lot of lash artists might have using the adhesive that works with the UV light. LASHCON...

If you are joining us on our UV Light Series, please go back to the previous two episodes and listen to those before moving forward with this episode. You'll want to get those episodes under your belt before moving into this one. :) In today's episode, we have Dr. Warren Stout joining us in the studio. We have been referring to him almost since your first episode aired over six years ago. He was our unofficial medical director when we had a salon and has spoken at every LASHCON since 2019....

In our last episode, physicist Todd Harris explained what we need to look for in a UV light system. We learned we need to look at three things: the wavelength, irradiance, and exposure time to the light. In today's episode, Todd provides some more clarity on what type of lights are safe and answers some new questions, like whether we need to wear eye protection with UV lights. He also shares if the European CE standard is a safe standard for us in the States. If you haven't listened to...

To kick off our series on UV lights and UV light-curing adhesives, we are excited to have physicist Dr. Todd Harris join us on the show. Todd worked with the lash robotics company LUUM and helped them develop their UV light curing process that the robot uses to apply lashes. We are very honored and excited to have Todd on our show as he understands the science of how these UV lights work and what can make them dangerous to use. In this episode, he gives a good foundation on which our other...

Over the last year, there has been a massive shift in our industry. More and more people are trying UV light-curing adhesives, and it's ruffling some lash artist's feathers. As a result, we have seen lash artists go online and share their concerns about this new way of lashing. A week doesn't go by where someone doesn't ask us what we think about the light-curing adhesives. After seeing so much concern and controversy on this subject, we decided to do a deep dive and talk to a lot of...

We are excited to have Cristina Fard, the executive director of the American Lash Association, back on our show to share more details on what the ALA is up to.

It seems almost every day I go on IG I hear people talking about how important it is to have multiple streams of income as well as passive income. At first glance, this idea sounds great (and it is), but what bothers us is most people selling this idea are trying to get you to buy their classes, webinars, or ebooks...and I they tend to make it sound like it's easy to do. In today's episode, we share the whole picture of what it really means to have multiple streams of income. LASHCON...

In today's episode, we have Shelby Tarleton join us to talk about her amazing event, The Lash Boss Summit. We love lash events, and in our humble opinion, this is the best lash event you can attend in the States (next to LASHCON...yes, we are a little biased). Everything Shelby does is top notch and this 2-day event is one you don't want to miss. She shares who will be speaking and what makes her conference so special. On top of that, we also discuss her summer plans with Lash Boss...

We've spent a couple of weeks studying this new thing that's hit our industry called MRR (Master Resale Rights). What is an MRR...it's a digital course that someone can sell, and when someone buys this course, they are allowed to resell it to their followers. We recently got access to a class and checked out what it was selling. We also have done a lot of polling from our lash family to get what you think. In today's episode, we break down what we have heard from our followers, and we share...

We are excited to have our chemist friend, Michael Becker, back on the show (you'll be seeing a lot of him in 2024). In today's episode, we share some questions that our listeners have brought to us over the last year and run them by Michael. We discuss if the plastic in a glue ring can change the lash adhesive properties. We also discussed if we should have some health concerns with cyanoacrylate...can the adhesive cause cancer or birth defects? Michael also breaks down the different...

One of the joys of having a podcast is meeting so many interesting people. Dionne is one of those people. In today's episode, we sit down with Dionne Thomas, who owns a salon called Love and Lashes based in the UK and, at the same time, is living in Turkey raising her family. Her lash journey is quite unique, and she shares a lot of golden nuggets on how she got to where she is today. She shares how she used to work in the corporate world, and her employer really didn't care about her...
