My Story.
Hi Lovely Ladies,
I was 19 years old when I first saw photos of girls with sparkling eyes and big fluffy eyelashes. I was instantly mesmerised and I went on to find out all the information I could on eyelash extensions. Since trying them myself I fell even more in love. The ease of waking up and not needing to put on any make up because I could how see my eyes made all the difference made me say "wow" every time I looked in the mirror.
Over the months, as I started investing in lash extensions, I sadly discovered that there were a lot of poorly trained lash technicians out there and despite paying top dollar I had suffered from many lash-mishaps.
It was only after talking to my girlfriends about my unfortunate lash experiences that they said I should become an eyelash technician and start my own business.
From that moment I have received 13 lash extension qualifications and have 3 more I am currently completing. I have been trained by many of Australia's top lash educators, as well as some of the world's best educators such as Loreta Jasilionyte - Flawless Lashes by Loreta (UK), Hanna Babanakava - owner of Angel Wings (Russia/Canada), Joy Crossingham - Owner of LashJoy (Top Educator in Australia), Sommer Deaves - Owner of LPL Studios (Top Educator in Australia and Lash Vision Leader), Kimberley Haworth -Lash Vision and Association of Registered Lash Artists,and Sugarlash the largest and most successful education academy in the world.
I travel interstate multiple times a year to attend various conferences including the Gold Coast's Lash Bash 2018 and the Australian Registered Lash Association Industry Standards conference in May 2019. In July 2019, I became one of the 15 Industry Leaders for the International Association of Registered Lash Artists (ARLA) and flew down to Melbourne to collaborate with the other industry leaders to raise and set new industry standards for ARLA. I am now currently looking forward to the Lash Vision conference in Melbourne November 2019 and the Australian Lash Open Championship in March 2020..
I am proud to say I have built an honest, friendly and professional business. Not only this but my experience so far has given me the chance to meet and lash so many incredible women from all over Canberra and the surrounding regions. I get to provide them with gorgeous lashes and give them the same feelings I first felt back when I was 19.
~ Love & Lashes
