FEATURED LASH ARTIST: Abigail Renteria

Abigail didn’t start confident.

She started like most artists do—second guessing her work, taking 5–6 hours on sets, and feeling like everyone else was ahead.

Now she’s known for soft, natural sets that actually fit her clients… not trends she felt pressured to follow.

Meet our featured lash artist, Abigail Renteria @etherealuxe.x.abby based in Central Valley, California.

Trained at Paul Mitchell The School Modesto, Abigail built her foundation in esthetics before refining her artistry through real client work and consistent practice.

What shifted everything for her wasn’t just technique. It was deciding she didn’t have to be everything for everyone.

She leaned into natural lash sets.

She stopped people-pleasing.

She found her own rhythm.

And that’s when things started to click.

Her journey wasn’t perfect.

Imposter syndrome still shows up. Timing didn’t come easy. Isolation made things heavier than it needed to be.

But she stayed.

She experimented.

She adjusted.

She kept going.

Now, what drives her is simple: The industry keeps evolving… and so does she.

New techniques.

New products.

New ways to create.

It never gets stagnant—and that’s what keeps her in it. If you’re where she used to be…

Taking too long

Overthinking every set

Questioning if you’re even good enough

You’re not behind. You’re just in the part no one talks about.
