FEATURED LASH ARTIST: Valerie

Meet our Featured Lash Artist ✨
@lashandgroom

She began her lash journey in 2016 after training online with PhatLash UK, starting what has now become a 10-year career in the lash industry.

One of the biggest things she had to overcome while learning was creating symmetry and even fullness on both eyes. She practiced constantly, offering free sets, working on strip lashes to study placement and technique, and observing retention closely by checking her work on friends throughout the week.

What drew her into the beauty industry was the ability to give clients a high level of care and customer experience. For her, being an esthetician is more than providing a service. It’s about helping people feel more confident, empowered, and comfortable in themselves.

She believes lash artists have the ability to encourage self care habits and positively impact how people see themselves, especially in today’s world.

Her advice for future lash artists:

Take care of yourself first. This industry can be rewarding, but it can also be draining if you don’t create balance. Fill your own cup so you can continue showing up for your clients and the people around you.
