Meet our featured lash artist of the week, Ruth Chavez, known on Instagram as @chavezruth_.

Hailing from Mt. Pleasant, TX, she's been honing her craft at Lash Studio 214 Beauty & Training Academy in Tyler, TX for the past 9 months. Struggling with retention at the start, Ruth did her research and experimented with her technique. Remarkably, the game changed for her when she introduced a humidifier into her workspace.

She finds her inspiration in the artists who produce flawless sets, those who treat lashes like a canvas, creating beautiful art without yet singling out anyone specific. Ruth aspires to reach the same level of artistry, dreaming of a day when others view her work and see it as a true form of art.

Her advice to fellow artists is straightforward: Keep at it. Despite how overused it may sound, practice is the path to perfection. She emphasizes that marketing oneself is just as important as the skill of lashing. It's all about how you present and promote your business.

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