Bianca Andrade, known on social media as @babeautyparlor, is based in Vancouver, Washington.

It's also where she received her training. She's been lashing for 8 months now. When she first started, she struggled with feelings of isolation, which impacted her retention rate with clients. Despite these challenges, Bianca didn't give up. She credits consistent practice for her improvements. Additionally, joining Lash support groups on Facebook played a crucial role in her learning and growth.

When asked about her inspiration to become a lash artist, she mentioned that she had always been drawn to lashing. However, it was her best friend Isabelle who truly inspired her to dive into the profession. Isabelle provided the extra push Bianca needed during the early days. Now, the two of them lash side by side.

Bianca's motivation in the lash industry stems from her faith in God, the love and support of her family, and the camaraderie she shares with fellow lash technicians. She leaves a piece of advice for future lash artists, those who are struggling, and beginners: "Never compare yourself to anyone else. Everyone has their challenges in their lash careers, but it's essential not to give up!"

Let's shower some love and support on Bianca's lash page @babeautyparlor, celebrating her dedication and skills in the world of lashing!
