There is a lot of information out there about hiring a team of lash artists or how to manage your salon, but hiring someone when you're a solo lash artist never gets talked about! This week, Jenny Papadopoulos joins me to chat about how to maximize profits as a solo lash artist/booth renter. Not everyone wants to own a salon or start a product line and that's totally okay! Jenny rents a suite in Scottsdale, Arizona where she is booked solid while charging premium prices and also offers trainings heavily focused on mega volume and styling. She also typically has a lash artist working under her on the days she isn't in the suite to take her overflow of clients. Thank you so much Jenny for joining us this week and I hope you guys enjoy!

What is the best thing to prime the lashes with? Does sensitive adhesive really work? Are retention issues mostly client or artist error? This week, I am joined by AnneMarie aka the CEO of Untamed Artistry! AnneMarie actually started in the industry as someone in product development before she was a lash artist, so she's the perfect person to answer all of our most-asked adhesive and retention questions. This episode is pretty much a mini- course to enhance your retention skills, so we hope you enjoy! Be sure to check out The Untamed Podcast for part 2 where AnneMarie interviews me about salon ownership :) My IG- @wednesdaythelasher AnneMarie's IG- @annemarie.pro Untamed Artistry IG- @untamed.artistry Free lash business checklist- https://wickedesthetics.mykajabi.com/opt-in Get a month of Vagaro free!- https://www.vagaro.com/signup?promocode=000108644300 2023 in person trainings- https://academy.wickedesthetics.co/lash-extension-course

Did you know that, contrary to popular belief, eyelash extensions can actually benefit your natural lashes?! This week's guests from Untamed Artistry, CEO and Founder Cheryl Peng and managing director AnneMarie Lorenzini, debunk this common beauty misconception and more. Peng started the beauty supply brand in 2019 after leaving behind her professional poker-playing career. She now uses many of those strategic skills in educating and inspiring the next generation of lash artists. Tune in to hear her best entrepreneurial advice and learn about the unique offerings UA provides for striving lash techs. Plus, hear why AnneMarie has been a loyal Vagaro superuser for almost a decade and which features have really helped her grow her business. The dynamic duo even dives into the latest beauty trends that they discuss on their own podcast.

Imagine moving to a foreign country alone, as a teenager with no career lined up . Scary, right? Well then wait 'til you hear the story of this week's podcast guest. Fred Helou is an immigrant entrepreneur who left Lebanon during a civil war, was pickpocketed for every dollar he had on his way to America, eventually got laid off from the career he managed to create, but then turned adversity into opportunity by starting a company now valued at $1 billion. And the name of that company? You guessed it, Vagaro. This story is one that distinctly defines making the best out of what you have. Join host Taylor Burke as she gets Fred to discuss everything from hiding from wartime gunfire as a kid, learning valuable lessons from his father's businesses, and what he plans for Vagaro's future.

I am so excited to announce that my virtual yoga studio Stillness + Movement is officially open! This episode will take a deep dive into how I ended up creating a virtual yoga studio (it was kind of accidental!), what is so different about the way we teach, and how I recommend teachers listening set up something similar much more cheaply than the custom registration platform I had built!  In this episode you'll hear: why I wanted the studio to have an “old school” structure the distinctive way we are teaching virtual yoga (hint: we do it sitting at a desk! No fancy camera, mic or lighting required) who our classes are for and what students can expect how I connected with the teachers who are teaching at the studio and what makes them each so special what I recommend if you want to host your own virtual yoga classes, but don't want to build a custom registration platform!  Resources Mentioned: Stillness + Movement (come take a class!!) Acuity Scheduling (this is what I most recommend for teachers organizing their own virtual classes) Vagaro (also good!) Tara Lemerise Yoga (check her out, she has live virtual classes and a class library she built herself!) Monica Bright's website  (check her out, she has live virtual classes and a class library she built herself!) Memberpress and Envira Gallery (these are the plugins Tara is using for her class library)
