Starting a beauty business from scratch may seem like an overwhelming leap, especially if you’re working a regular job. But at just 18 years old, I took that bold step, quit my 9-to-5, and started my own successful lash and beauty business. Now, I’m here to help you do the same!
In this post, I’m sharing my personal journey from a grocery store cashier to a thriving beauty entrepreneur. Whether you're thinking of starting a beauty business, expanding your services, or pursuing your passion for lashes and brows, these tips will help you take that first step with confidence.
The Moment I Decided to Start My Beauty Business 💡
At 18, I was working as a cashier in a grocery store, feeling stuck and uninspired. Each shift felt like I was just another cog in the machine, and I knew deep down that I couldn’t stay there forever. I craved more—freedom, creativity, and the chance to create something meaningful.
One day, I finally said, "Enough is enough!" That’s when I made the scariest yet most rewarding decision of my life—I quit my job and enrolled in a lash extension course.
Here’s How You Can Start Your Beauty Business Too
I’m sharing the key lessons I learned from taking that leap, and how you can apply them to start your own journey:
1. Take the Risk: Be Fearless and Bold
Let’s face it—starting your own beauty business or even adding new services like lash extensions, brow shaping, or facials is daunting. You’ll feel fear, uncertainty, and doubt, but those feelings shouldn’t stop you. Taking risks is part of the journey. The key is trusting in your abilities and being willing to leap into the unknown.
Tip: Whether you're launching a business or adding to your services, don't let fear keep you from achieving your dreams. Think of fear as a signal that you're on the edge of growth!
2. Invest in Yourself: Education and Skills
One of the best decisions I made was enrolling in a lash extension course. Education is a crucial part of growing your beauty business. The skills you gain not only boost your confidence but also help you deliver high-quality services that keep your clients coming back.
If you’re ready to learn, I’ve created a range of courses designed for beauty enthusiasts like you! Check out my Lash Extension Course, where you'll gain everything you need to master lash techniques with confidence.
3. You Don’t Need Thousands of Followers to Succeed
It’s easy to think that you need a huge social media following to build a successful beauty business. But here’s the truth: success isn’t about numbers, it’s about relationships. Many beauty professionals I’ve worked with have small but loyal client bases and still hit $10k, $15k, and even $20k months.
Focus on building genuine relationships with your clients. Offer personalized services, listen to their needs, and provide value, and you'll find yourself growing faster than you thought possible.

4. Consistency is Key: Show Up Every Day
Building a business takes time. There’s no such thing as overnight success. The trick is consistency—showing up every day, improving your skills, and delivering great service. Small steps taken daily will build the foundation of your long-term success.
The beauty industry is competitive, but staying consistent with your work, branding, and client interactions will set you apart. Whether it’s updating your portfolio, posting on social media, or refining your services, every effort brings you closer to your goal.
