Hello, I want to introduce myself. I am Jackie Dark and Owner of Lovely Lashes. I was a long time customer of eyelash extensions, and just fell in love with how they made me feel, and how easy it was now for me to look good all the time. The time I saved not having to put mascara on, and the fact that I always looked alive and refreshed made me a fan of Eyelash Extensions. So much a fan, I asked for the help of the first Eyelash Extension Salon in California to be my mentor, and to help me with opening my own Eyelash Salon. She did and we became good friends, and we discuss Lashes all the time.
I wanted a salon that only focused on eyes. Since this is a delicate area, rules and regulations and sanitation are very important. I felt it was important to specialize. I wanted the best of the best, and I wanted it at a reasonable cost with service that we don’t see anymore.
It’s important to have people that work with you be just as passionate as you are, and to reward them for it. I really want to help people, and I saw this as an opportunity to help others. You see, I am a Medical Representative for my regular job which is very rewarding, but it doesn’t let me give to the proportions that I want to give. I see this as an avenue for that. I have been a single struggling mom for years. I worked hard for my 4 year degree, and everything that I have accomplished. I want to help others that also work hard for their dream. Again, this is the business that I can see that opportunity happening.
So, for now we are just beginning and hopefully growing and will expand. My hope is to help another person open up a salon and possibly one of my girls. I hope we become so successful, I can offer a type of profit sharing. I want us all to grow with Lovely Lashes and the Women who work with me to be a part of it. So when you are here, know that you are helping us all work together to be more. I will keep all informed as the Lovely Lashes Story progresses.
Update: Lovely Lashes finished its expansion on 115 Broadway and we are now looking much more grown up with a Lash Salon with 4 beds in the Main salon area and a private bed for the lash perms, lash and brow tints, and waxing of brows. We have more girls on board and ready to accomodate groups and last minute needs for lashes.
