As a fellow lash artist, I'm thrilled to introduce our #featuredlashartist of the week, Maily Hinrichsen. You can find her amazing work on Instagram at @kawakami.beauty.

Based in Jacksonville, Florida, Maily honed her skills at an esthetician school and received further certifications through private techs at Idiehl’s Day Spa. Impressively, she's been in the lashing game for just 5 months.

When Maily started, she faced challenges like mastering lash direction, placement, and creating consistent width fans. She overcame these by immersing herself in practice and further education, utilizing resources like online courses and informative blog posts, particularly praising ThousandLashes for their helpful articles.

What's unique about Maily is her self-inspiration. Driven by the lack of a specific niche style in her area, she decided to fill that gap. She's passionate about anime-style lashes and aims to offer this distinctive style to others who share her love for it.

Her motivation in the lash industry stems from a desire to make people feel beautiful. Maily loves the transformative effect her work has on clients, boosting their confidence and making them feel rejuvenated each morning.

For those starting in the industry, struggling, or just curious about lashing, Maily advises soaking up as much information as possible. She values learning from various sources, which has helped her develop a unique style and approach to lashing. She sees lashing as a creative process and believes diving deep into the industry opens up a world of joy in exploring different styles and techniques.

Don't forget to show love and support to Maily's lash page @kawakami.beauty. She's a rising star in the lash world, and her journey is truly inspiring!
