I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus lately… but for good reasons.
I finished the last leg of nursing school ✔️
Passed my boards and became a Registered Nurse ✔️
Celebrated one year of owning my own studio ✔️
Enrolled back into school to get my Masters and become a Nurse Practitioner ✔️
But today was the icing on the cake …
I had the privilege of finally being able to sit as a student at Tracy’s table after so long of admiring her and the incredible practice she’s built.
Thank you for the most comfortable, reassuring, and educational day. ❤️ Still waiting for someone to pinch me.

Here’s to the future … 💉⚕️🥹. I’m back! ❤️

Trust the process … 🌿✨

Studio décor forecast: Sunny with a chance of crystals… ✨

“Reach for the stars…” 🌟

The future is bright 🌟…

I will never forget the day that I decided to go to night school for esthetics when I was working full time in the office world…
A very influential person in my life at the time said to me, “Well that’s nice… you will have a hobby!”. To my confusion, they followed with “esthetics is a part time job… it will never be your career”.

My entire life changed that day.

Flash forward a few years of hard work later… and here we are!
This month, a new chapter of my life and career begins as I relocate to my very own studio.

Moral of the story is: Your dreams are yours to protect and achieve. If you are surrounded by people that minimize your dreams or try to talk you out of it, get new people.

I can’t wait to share this new step of my journey with you! More details to come!

Xo, A. 🌿🤍

“Won’t lash extensions ruin my natural lashes?” - Every lash client in the history of ever. 😂
Well… unfortunately, the answer to this question could be yes; HOWEVER, it should always be no.

How do we work together to create beautiful sets that won’t cause damaged to your natural lashes?

As a lash artist, it is our job to educate our clients on the science of what we do and why (believe it or not, there is a why for every single strategic lash that we place!) we do it as far as mapping, length, placement, etc.; we are also responsible for the teaching of how to care for lash extensions and WHY the aftercare is so important.

As a client, we rely on you to:
✔️ Disclose any necessary personal history that may affect your success with lash extensions such as medications, conditions, etc.
✔️ Follow lash hygiene protocols (lashes that aren’t clean harbor unfriendly bacteria, dirt, and oil which causes poor retention issues and even scarier … creates a risk for infection)
✔️ Use recommended hygiene products from your trusted licensed professional
✔️ Respect your artist and refrain from ruining your lashes with cosmetic products such as mascara, even in desperate need for a fill (one birds eye view of what we see in this scenario may change your mind on this decision 😉)
✔️ Avoid alcohol, oil, and waterproof anything on those little cuties
✔️ Use clean tools to brush and position your lash extensions (our hands, fingers, and cosmetic tools floating around at the bottom of your bag harbor more than meets the eye and should not be transferred to our precious lash extensions)
✔️ Try to avoid sleeping directly on the lash extensions (after all, these are a synthetic fiber, semi-permanently glued on to your natural lash; the friction between lash extensions and another fiber such as your pillow case can cause premature shedding 😢)
✔️ Schedule your lash fills as directed by your artist
✔️ Go to your fill with clean lashes

Here’s to the lash artists who are doing happy dances once they get to reveal those healthy natural lashes after a removal and to the clients who trust our education enough to listen! 🤗😘

This little cutie came in hoping for something “between classic and hybrid” for her first time with lashes.

I understood the assignment. 🪄✨
