156. Lashing Doesn't Have To Be a Pain...Abby O'Sullivan Gives Us Some Healthy Lashing Tips Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

Lashing can be such a pain. Working hunched over all day, barely eating, and sometimes not even having time to go the bathroom. We are so excited to be our own bosses when we get into this business, but so many of us are the worse boss we've ever had. We don't eat well, we don't take care of our bodies...and sadly we don't do anything to change our situation. Abby O'Sullivan of Foxit Fit and Foxie Lash comes on our show to talk about how you can take better care of yourself. She explains how ART is much better for you than a message, she goes into things you can do to make yourself feel better when working, she gives some diet tips and we discuss typical issues lash artists struggle with. If you want lashing to be your career, you need to take care of your most important asset...your body. You should check out Abby's Instagram page as it has helpful tips and you can learn more about her program she's offering. @foxie.lash@abbyo.fitANNOUNCEMENTS:⁣⁣⁣YOU NEED TO ENTER THE FIRST ANNUAL "LASHIES"There are two divisions to choose from: SOLO LASH ARTIST AND LASH SALON OWNER.⁣⁣In each division, there are five categories: Overcoming Story, Customer Service, Client Retention and Referral Program, Technology, and Salon Design.⁣⁣Each category essay will be rated by multiple anonymous judges.

155. Who Shouldn't Get Lash Extensions Aug 11, 2021

Show notes

Is it possible that there are people who exist in this world who shouldn't get eyelash extensions? Is that even possible?Unfortunately, there are...just like there are people who don't believe in unicorns (those poor fools). We use to say that lashes are for everyone...but we have come to see that there are some exceptions to that statement. We want them to be for everyone but there are some people it's just not a good fit or the right time. In today's episode, we share who shouldn't be getting lash extensions. Plus we share some insights on clients we think can get lashes but are often told they can't have lashes (one might have something to do with the lash allergy). BTW...if you disagree with us, please reach out to us.

154. Don't Think Your IG Account Can Be Hacked? Melissa Rudolphi Discusses How It Happened To Her Aug 06, 2021

Show notes

If you are like me, I don't lose a lot of sleep worrying about someone hacking my social media accounts or stealing my identity. Why do you think I sleep well at night not being concerned about these things? Because I'm WAY too trusting which means I'm actually a prime candidate to have someone hack one of my accounts. Until recently I never added two-factor authentication and if someone forced me to do that, I'd get annoyed (not too bright I know). In today's episode, Melissa Rudolphi of "Lash Like a Pro" fame, shares how her account got hacked and held for a ransom. It's a crazy story and something that can happen to anyone.Melissa also goes into what you need to do to protect your IG account and what to look for from potential scammers. The lesson of the story here is do not be like me, and don't trust anyone online (unless it's me asking for your banking info...I'm very trustworthy). This is a good episode and I hope when it's over you'll make every account you have online use the two-factor authentication process...yes it's a pain in the but losing your IG account you spent 5 years building would be an even bigger pain.ANNOUNCEMENTS:⁣⁣⁣YOU NEED TO ENTER THE FIRST ANNUAL "LASHIES"There are two divisions to choose from: SOLO LASH ARTIST AND LASH SALON OWNER.⁣⁣In each division, there are five categories: Overcoming Story, Customer Service, Client Retention and Referral Program, Technology, and Salon Design.⁣⁣Each category essay will be rated by multiple anonymous judges.

152. Ilona Alidzaeva of Revoläshion Breaks Down What It Costs to Start a Lash Brand Part 2 Jul 30, 2021

Show notes

Dreaming of starting your own lash brand?You've come to the right place. Ilona Alidzaeva, the CEO of Revoläshion, is back for part two of our interview where she shares more details on what it's going to take for you to start your own lash brand. Starting your own lash brand is no easy task. Almost every lash brand owner I've ever talked to has shared "off the record" that starting their brand has come at a heavy price. Broken friendships, estranged family members, lawsuits, and all sorts of craziness that they never had to deal with when they were a lash artist.Ilona in this episode continues to shed light on the difficulties and what it really cost her to start her brand. Her openness is so encouraging and we hope if you are thinking about starting a lash brand that this will prepare you for the journey ahead of you. It's so rare to see a lash brand owner be so open and down to earth about what it really takes to build a business. Even if you aren't looking to start your own brand, I know you'll walk away with some inspiration for your business.

150. Ilona Alidzaeva of Revoläshion Breaks Down What It Costs to Start a Lash Brand Part 1 Jul 22, 2021

Show notes

If you are like most lash artists I know, you love to lash but after a few years of lashing, you have started to think about what new challenges can you take on?Maybe you want to become a trainer? Maybe start a lash clothing line? Or maybe start the first-ever used lash extension recycling company (eww...please don't do this). Or maybe...start your own lash line? Sounds fun right? But what will it cost you? What will you need to sacrifice to the lash gods to make it a reality? In today's episode, we have Ilona Alidzaeva, the CEO of Revoläshion, come on our show and share all the deets on what you need to be prepared for if you want to start your own lash brand. She goes into great detail on her actual costs, and how long it took for her to bring her brand to life. We had so much to cover in this episode that we decided to cut it into two parts. You'll need to come back next week to catch the second half. These two episodes will truly give you a good idea of what you need to do if you are going to start your own lash line. BTW...if you already have a lash line and it's not quite taking off as you hoped, this is still a great episode for you as you might find out some of the things you need to do differently to get your brand going in the right direction.

149. Why You Need Loupes and What Loupes You Should Get Jul 19, 2021

Show notes

Tired of your back hurting? Do your clients hate the feeling of you breathing on their forehead (eww)? When you place a lash, do you know for sure that you have a great bond, or are you just hoping you hit your mark?If you said yes to any of these questions, then you need to get yourself a pair of medical loupes."I know Paul...I'd love to but I have no idea what loupes to buy."That's why Tussanee and I are here to help you today with our special loupe podcast episode.In today's episode, we sit down and share our favorite three brands we have used over the years and share what you need to be looking for. We also discuss why you really need to switch over to loupes if you are serious about your career. While we are pushing three loupe companies there are many more for you to choose from. In the end, pick the one that is best suited for you (just don't buy the cheap loupes you can get on Alibaba for $150...so not worth it). Here are the websites of the three companies we have worked with (we are not an affiliate at this time).

148. What is Tippy and Why You Need to Report Your Tips Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

We all love tips...but do you report your tips to the IRS?"Eww...really Paul...you're making me sick...why did you have to ask THAT question? I think I'm going to throw up." I know...not trying to upset anyone but this is something I feel we all need to talk about as there can be serious consequences if you don't do it correctly. Newsflash...if you get into a beef with the IRS...they always win. Now, if you are like many lash artists, I'm guessing you don't report any of your tips or maybe you only report some of your tips. Even if you do report your tips I know you are certainly tempted to not do it...I know we have over the years felt the temptation. But is not reporting your tips a good idea? I get it...we work hard for our money and it sucks to give the IRS any of that hard-earned cash. In today's episode, we have Terry McKim and Lauren Zomolsky from Tippy to answer some questions you might have about tipping and share why reporting your tips is a smart business decision. Now, who is Tippy? Tippy is a digital tipping solution that was built for the beauty industry. Tippy save business owners money on processing fees and increasing tips for service providers! We love their service and have wanted to share who they are and what they do. If you have a team, they can save you a lot of money, and even if you are a solo artists you can save money too. Aside from explaining the benefits of reporting your tips, we sit down with Terry and Lauren to learn how their tipping solution can be a great new system that you can add to your business and save you money.
