Hi ladies, looking for some advice and personal experiences to answer the above question.
So I've been lashing for about two years now and have thrown myself in to being the best I can and trying to make a name for myself as a great and recognised lash tech ( like blinkin gorgeous.)
I get so disheartened when looking at the great nail techs on this forum that get the recognition they deserve for such amazing work they do. But I'm just not sure how to keep promoting my business and getting my name know in the lash industry.
Other than my advertising ( all of Lynn's thread has been pretty much done) and as well as doing the best job I can on my clients I don't know how to keep pushing the business and get my name out there.
I live in the south east of Kent and think that possibly it's not a great area for lashes. My full set of lash extensions price is £40 which is cheap in my opinion but from experience people just won't pay any more than this in my area, and would rather pay £20 for a badly applied set of clusters. Most of my lash clients just have them as a one off only for special occasions as they find the up keep too much, but I do see most again throughout the year when they have a holiday, wedding etc to go to.
I work from my home salon, I did try working in a salon as their lash tech thinking I would get more recognition of working in a well known salon but soon found that their promise of a great customer base turned out to be false and I was earning peanuts at the end of the day.
So I'm just not sure where I go from here and feel like I'm plodding on, trying hard to better myself and getting nowhere.
Any advice would really be appreciated
Thanks
