others, The first time I got lash extensions I was volunteering to be a model for my then sister-in-law who had just completed a training course.  

It only took me a few minutes of talking with her before I decided that the lash industry was where I needed to be.  The income potential and possibilities were obvious to me.  That was over 7 years ago and I now have a successful lash business in Salt Lake City, Utah.  

When I sought out to train and grow my business, my focus was always to help other women succeed.  When I train others, I want to teach women how to take hold of their future and be successful in a well-paying career.  

I read this article on Minnesota Public Radio News and it hit close to home for me. 

Just like the minority business owner in this story, I too learned how to do lashes before realizing I needed an esthetics license to provide the service.  I felt very discouraged (and lied to by the company that trained me) after spending over $1200 to learn a skill I could not use to earn money.  I was fortunate enough to get a job working at a lash studio that offered esthetics apprenticeships.  I earned my license while I worked and I am not sure I would have been able to get to where I am any other way.  

I really hope the state of Minnesota can help this and other small business owners out by offering a lesser license for those interested in just offering lash extensions.  It is a lucrative industry that is going to keep growing and provides a good living to women.  I am single-mom of 4 and I run my business part-time and employ 3 other women.  There are few other industries that create this type of opportunity for women and I hate to see the barriers to entry increase beyond a reasonable measure.  

 

It is of upmost importance that our clients properly clean their lash extensions between visits.  We are now offering Blink Lash Foam Cleanser.  It is formulated by the same manufacturer that makes our adhesive so you know it is safe.  

The Miami Herald online recently posted an article addressing this very issue.  Dr. Leslie Baumann wrote a great article entitled "Are You Using the Wrong Skin Cleanser?  Here's How to Pick the Right Product." about cleaners in general but took the time to address lash extensions which we at Salt City Lashes appreciate.  Here's what she had to say:

Cleansing with Eyelash Extensions
Eyelash extensions are becoming more and more popular, but using the wrong type of cleanser could mean frequent visits to your lash studio. If you have lash extensions, avoid using oil-based cleansers near your eyes. The oil in these products can loosen the adhesive that bonds the lash extensions to your skin.
