#2- How Brittani got into lashes

According to Brittani, lashes chose her, she did not choose lashes. At 17 years old Strong was invited by her friends for a lash class. She fell in love straight away and in that moment she knew she found what she was made to do and that one day she will take the industry by force. Brittani loves the way she is able to connect with people through lashes, how it made them feel their best, and seeing their confidence grow was the most incredible feeling. At 18 years old, she started SoCal Beauty. Brittani is now an educator for lashes and has traveled the world training students and speaking about everything to do with lashes.

#3- What are designer lashes?

In the midst of the pandemic, Strong began thinking and developing the idea of designer lashes. Designer lashes is an industry-first, customizable magnetic strip lash system made for lash artists. This means that a lash artist can customize any set of lash extensions on the magnetic strip and then send the lashes to their customers, hands-free. The process is quite simple. SoCal has a virtual consultation with the clients, discussing their face- and eye shape as well as a style preference. Thereafter the lash artist creates the set of lashes, which come in an exquisite holographic box with a liner and application tool. This product is perfect for clients that can not afford lash extensions, clients that have moved, people that have experienced allergies and irritation from lash extensions.

#4- Tips for people trying to get into the beauty industry

Brittani advises people trying to get into the beauty industry is never to compare themselves with others. People should only compare themselves with themselves. When comparing oneself to others you might end up in a place you do not want to be, she says she has seen this many times. She further advises that you are your own competitor. Stay true to yourself and your path, go for what you want, hustle and stay humble.
