Back with a NEW Challenge!!! #
I’m Back! + Why I’m Changing How I Talk About Lashes 🎀 Hey Family! I’ve finally settled into the new shop back on Stevens Creek in Santa Clara! I know I’ve been a bit quiet lately, but relocation is a full-time job. Now that the move is done—I am officially back on it. While I was away, I spent a lot of time deep-diving into the Manhua style. It’s been on the market for a while, but studying the geometry of it has actually caused me to change how I describe these sets to my clients. Personally, I’m moving away from terms like "spiky" or "anime." To the client's ear, those sound sharp or costume-like. Instead, I’ve started using terminology like Soft, Natural, Realistic, Airy, and Fluffy. It completely changes the client's expectation and elevates the service! For those of you wondering about the technical difference, here is my breakdown: • Manga (Anime) Lashes: Bold and structured. These use thick, intentional spikes for that dramatic, doll-like contrast. • Manhua Lashes: Whimsical and airy. The peaks are thinner with more varied lengths, giving it that delicate "fairy" look that feels effortless. I just dropped a full masterclass on how to map and execute this look in the Classroom! Your homework for this curriculum is the #RealisticLashChallenge. I want to see you master the "gap" and create that airy texture. 👇 Manhua Master Class & the Manhua Challenge here: https://www.skool.com/mias-lash-lab-2289/classroom/bb7c0500 I can't wait to see your sets. Post your homework in the "Showcase" category so we can all cheer you on! Let's get back to work! 🥂 Why this works for your Skool community: • The Relatability: Mentioning the move to Stevens Creek makes you human and explains the gap in posting. • The Professional Pivot: Explaining why you are changing your terminology (Soft vs. Spiky) proves you are an educator who thinks about the client's psychology. • Clear Call to Action: You link the lesson and the homework (The Challenge) together so they have a clear path of what to do next.

👉🏽 “It’s not just the Glue
said it perfectly This short video touches on something many lash artists overlook: retention is not solved by switching products — it’s solved by understanding the system behind the set. 🎥 Watch here: https://www.skool.com/mias-lash-lab-2289/classroom/4fc9ad0f?md=cb6a80516dfe47a1a3ddaf83e6fca9e9 What this video opens the door to (but doesn’t fully unpack yet): • Environmental settings (humidity & temperature) • Lash condition & cleanliness • Understanding the lash cuticle • Styling, curl choice & placement • Using shorter lengths strategically All of these play a role in retention — and none of them work in isolation. We’ll be going deeper into each of these areas as we continue building a true retention system, step by step. For now, I want to know: 👇🏽 What part of retention do you feel most unsure about right now? More to come soon 🤍

The Sniff Test Masterclass: Take the Workshop Survey & Let’s Discuss!
Now that we’ve officially kicked off The Sniff Test Masterclass: Decoding the Chemistry of Lash Lift & Tint Formulas, it’s time to put your senses to the test! Instead of writing out your homework manually, I’ve set up a streamlined workshop survey for you to submit your findings. You can access the classroom module and your worksheet questions directly right here: 👉 Take the Sniff Test Workshop Survey Here! 🧪 What to Do Next: 1. Head to the Classroom Link: Click the link above to review the lessons and open the survey. 2. Grab Your Inventory: Safely test 2–3 brands of lash lift steps, neutralizers, primers, or tints currently in your studio. 3. Submit Your Answers: Complete the survey questions covering the Reducing Agents (Sulfur vs. Cysteamine), Red Flag Fragrances, and the Alcohol Breakdown. 4. Come Back & Chat: Once you submit your survey, jump back into the comments on this post! 👇 Let's Open Up the General Discussion! While you're working through the survey, let's start connecting the dots here in the community: • Which product in your studio has the strongest, most pungent chemical scent, and did you realize what ingredient was causing it before this masterclass? • Have you ever encountered a brand that was heavily perfumed or masked? Did it ever cause irritation or watery eyes for a client? Drop your initial thoughts, a-ha moments, or questions below. Let’s level up our product knowledge together! 🧠✨ Sniff Test Workshop Survey Here! 1. The Fragrance Trap 🍇 You open a new brand of lash lift solution, and it smells entirely like fresh lavender with no chemical undertone at all. Why should this make you cautious as a lash professional?
