BLUSH LASH STUDIO

BLUSH LASH ACADEMY

Learn how to do individual classic and volume lashes! Taught by our owner Alexis who is a licensed cosmetologist, certified by Xtreme, Nova Lash, Occhi, Luxuncut, Lash Makers, Lash Guy Pro, and NALA.

The classic lash class is learning how to separate each lash one by one to put an extension on every single natural lash. A kit is provided in this class which includes everything that you'll need to do your model at the class and ten models after your class.

The volume lash class is learning how to create your own custom lash fans. Volume lashing consists of 3-6 lashes per fan which is then applied to every single natural lash. Offering volume to your clientele offers them a more dramatic look and allows you to offer another service at a higher price. A volume kit is included for this class! $550

To perspective lash artists and their parents,

So you want to be a lash artist? Are people questioning if this is even a real career? I’d love to share our daughters story and then you can decide for yourself. Our daughter Alexis always knew she wanted to work in the beauty industry. Her dad and I have always supported that goal.  

As high school graduation approached us, we frequently saw the judgmental looks when asked what she was doing after high-school and we would say she was excited to attend beauty school. We heard various comments from well meaning people when they insinuated that maybe she was taking the easy way out, or selling herself short. We continued to support her dream.

You see, we’ve both spent our entire careers in corporate America.  We’ve dealt with long commutes, office politics, and corporate layoffs.  We knew in our hearts that corporate America wasn’t a place where Alexis could thrive and truly be happy. She needed more freedom to express her unique talents and grow in her passion.  Alexis needed an environment and career that was authentically her. So off to Cosmetology school she went.  

After she graduated cosmetology school in 2014 she worked doing hair and makeup. Working in all these areas eventually led her to discovering the art of applying lash extensions.  In 2015, she took her first lash class and has never looked back.  She began doing lashes out of our home while also working at a waxing salon.  Just 3 years later in 2018, at the age of 23 she started her own business. In less than 3 years she went from being a single-employee studio operating out of another business, to now having her own store front with 7 employees.  She is so confident in herself, her business and her future, that she also runs her own lash academy to teach others her craft.

Don’t get me wrong.  None of this success just happened by chance.  There was a lot of hustle, tons of hard work, and significant sacrifice involved. The point is that in following her dreams and being supported by those that love her, she is now a wife, mother, business owner and a growing entrepreneur.

Lashing has created an opportunity for Alexis to have autonomy in how she operates, and the flexibility to manage all of the priorities in her life as she sees fit.  She gets the joy of seeing the impact that her work and the work of her employees has on her clients, and she gets to experience the gift of empowering young women like herself.  

So, if you’re still wondering if there is a future in becoming a lash artist, I don’t think you’ll find a better example of what can happen if you are truly passionate and goal oriented.  And parents, if you’re worried that this doesn’t line up with the dreams you have for your daughter…let that go.  That’s your dream.  Let her live a life that defines success in a way that is most meaningful to her.  When you see the glow that comes from being truly happy in what your daughters doing, you won’t regret it.  

Best wishes

Alexis’s Parents
