Splashed over social media sites, time and again, are photos with the caption, "Not My Work”. These posts often include before and after shots of inferior work done by a supposedly careless lash artist. The photos and descriptions are, in my opinion, mean-spirited, hurtful, and largely unnecessary - especially when they are oftentimes not expressed within the context of a given situation.
Most salon professionals start their day with a genuine desire to do their very best work. We put our heart and soul into our work, always striving to produce that perfect set.
Are there days when the lash Goddesses are with us? Absolutely. Does this mean our work is perfect? No! Are there days when we are not at our best? Sure. Days when we struggle? Of course! I'm sure we all can relate to those times when we leave our workplace thinking, “I could have done better”.

This was undoubtably the way we should look at it. It takes practice, hard work and long hours to achieve a good set. We all can encourage each other to become great lash artists. There are enough lashes for all of us
