Hey Guys!

​

Here's the trailer to my world!

​

In 2013, I moved from my home in Nova Scotia to Leduc, Alberta with my now husband. Let's just say.... Its a huge change. We decided one day in October that it was time for a shift in our life plan. We left December 27th, and drove in the middle of winter to Alberta. 

​

As soon as we arrived to Alberta we started to look for jobs! I was offered a job at Princess Auto, Tim Hortons, and as a receptionist but the job I wanted the most was at Lash Affair in Edmonton. I did my first interview, thought I did horrible but they asked me back for a second interview. "Nailed It" as I would of said back then. Got the job, did a little happy dance, and then realized I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT LASHES. 

​

Thankfully, Courtney Buhler (the owner at the time) saw potential. She trained me, I asked the staff an annoying amount of questions, and just learned as much as I could. 

​

I had been working at Lash Affair for 2 years, when I decided I needed a ADULT Job (Insert me rolling my eyes here). I went and applied at the Beverage Container Management Board, and got the job as their administrator. I eventually got a promotion and landed the Program Coordinator position. 

​

You know how sometimes people say they aren't meant for an office job, thats definitely me. I missed the freedom, the conversations, and just being able to make people feel good. So I went back to Lash Affair, which had a new owner. 

​

Although things were still the same as before, I was still feeling unfulfilled. So... I did what most people would be terrified to do, quit all my jobs and decided to start lashing on my own. I have 4 regular clients... yup, 4.  So i panicked and offered full sets at an extremely low cost, I started doing consultations for free to make sure they were receiving good lashes. Luckily, I was able to book up. 

​

January 4th, 2018 is when I opened up Lash Boutique and Lounge. It's been an incredible journey. I started out with just myself, then went to one, two, three staff members. 

​

In 2020, Prestige'd Studio came to light. It's been an adventure and I am so excited to say that we have;
