Photo editing can be such a helpful tool when it comes to showcasing your work, but there’s a very fine line between enhancing a photo and misrepresenting the work.

In my time as an artist, I’ve taken courses that included learning how to use a million different apps to smooth skin, erase every “flaw,” brighten eyes, sharpen details, and basically make a photo look almost too perfect.

But at the end of the day, I will never lose the integrity of my work for the sake of a picture.

Most of the time, I would end up not posting because I don’t feel like a photo is “post-worthy” if one little lash isn’t perfectly in place. And that’s on me and my childhood trauma turned into ✨ perfectionism ✨

My clients leave my lash bed every day as walking billboards. If you see my work in real life, I want it to be stop-worthy. I want people to say, “Omg, I love your lashes! Who do you go to?!”

It’s me, hiii 👋 we love a referral.

When I edit photos, my goal is to showcase the lashes clearly while keeping the natural beauty and integrity of the eye completely intact.

The lashes, the eye shape, the texture, the realness. All of it matters.

Having already gorgeous clients makes my job a whole lot easier, obviously. 😉✨ But I will always stay true to myself in my work and continue striving for every set to be something I’m proud of.

Editing should support the work, not become the work.

And after I make a post: if you do see an imperfection in the lash line, trust me, I saw it first. I knowingly posted it anyway, and that’s on good mental health and supplying the content machine. 🤖

The lashes are lashing, but let’s talk about the real star: healthy, clean retention. 🫰🏻✨

A beautiful set is never just about how full it looks on day one. It’s about how it wears, how it grows out, and how well your natural lashes are supported underneath.

This was a fill on a client who takes proper care of her extensions at home, and let me tell you it makes all the difference!

Clean lashes, consistent aftercare, and showing up to appointments without buildup means I’m able to spend more time actually filling and perfecting the set instead of playing detective at the lash line 😅

Lash retention is a team effort. I can apply them beautifully, isolate properly, choose safe lengths and weights, and style them with your natural lashes in mind but what happens between appointments matters just as much.

When you wash them, brush them, avoid picking, and follow aftercare instructions, your lashes stay healthier, your fills look fuller, and your appointments go smoother.

My job is the application. Your job is the aftercare. Together? That’s where the magic happens. 😌🖤

Your lash extensions are only as good as the aftercare behind them ✨

I know it’s tempting to think retention issues are “just shedding” but many times your lashes are trying to tell you something. 👀

Makeup residue, oils, skincare migration, glycerin, dead skin buildup, poor cleansing habits… all of that creates a sticky environment at the lash line that can:
• weaken adhesive bonds
• close volume fans
• cause irritation
• stunt healthy new growth
• make fills look sparse way faster

And respectfully? Waiting until right before your appointment to panic wash them doesn’t undo weeks of buildup. 😭

Healthy lashes need:
✨ routine cleansing
✨ proper products
✨ brushing regularly
✨ realistic expectations
✨ consistent aftercare

Your lash line needs airflow, cleanliness, and a healthy environment for strong little lash babies to grow. Clean lashes don’t just look prettier — they retain better, feel better, and support healthier natural lashes long term.

Good retention is not magic. It’s maintenance. 🫶🏻

Washing lashes and shedding go hand in hand. ✨

It’s completely normal to lose a few lashes while washing each day. Yes, wash EACH DAY. Those lashes were most likely already at the end of their natural growth cycle and would have shed throughout the day anyway.

Truthfully, if you’re washing regularly with an appropriate cleanser and following proper aftercare, you will have better retention. It really is that simple.

Pro tip from someone (me lol) who also needs reminders sometimes: keep your lash shampoo in the shower. 🚿

Making it part of your normal wash routine instead of a separate extra step makes it 1000x easier not to forget.

I’ll always do my best to bring an inspo photo to life, but no two sets will ever look exactly the same because no two eyes are the same. Eye shape, lash line length, natural lash density, and lash health all play a role in what’s possible.

The best results come from working with your artist, trusting the process, and customizing the set to what will work best for you and not against you.

One of the biggest gifts this industry has given me has been the opportunity to learn from artists, educators, brands, and experiences all across North America. Every class, convention, certification, and connection has shaped the artist I am today.

From beauty college in Oregon to advanced trainings, trade shows, and traveling for education. I would say I am fairly well rounded in my craft. Every trip pushed me personally way out of my comfort zone as well as creatively and professionally in a new way.

This career has never just been about lashes for me.
It’s been about growth.
About community.
About staying teachable.
About continuing to evolve.

I want this to continue on. Lashcon is coming up and I’ve never been to San Diego nor this event… but what’s new and exciting in the lash industry that I NEED to learn? I’m certainly forever grateful for the educators, companies, clients, and friendships placed along my path. Some will be lifelong connections. 🤍

Here’s to continuing to learn, elevate, EVOLVE and create. And for likeminded individuals to keep sticking it out, together!

I’ve used a lot of scheduling systems over the years.
Like… everything from a paper planner to Square, to Fresha, and eventually GlossGenius.

And after all of that? Gloss has honestly treated me the best.

The ease of use, the customer service, the communication tools, the beta features they’re constantly improving on… it’s one of the few companies that still feels human. I’ve called for help before and been able to speak to an actual real-life person instead of screaming “REPRESENTATIVE” into the void. 😂

(Only downside: they’re East Coast based… so if I’m mid-chaos during my workday and need help, timing can occasionally be ✨humbling✨.)

But genuinely the appointment reminders, confirmations, intake forms, cancellation protection, and client communication systems make such a huge difference on both sides of the appointment experience.

Clients tell me all the time they appreciate how thorough and communicative I am… and honestly? Part of that is because I invest in systems that help me take care of people well.

Good service matters.
Organization matters.
Communication matters.

So when little surprises show up in the mail like this? It’s appreciated. 🤍 2nd year in a row now 💪🏼

Thanks, Gloss.

(Not an ad. Just a business owner appreciating good business practices for once. 😂)

Your eyes and face are much dirtier than you think. I clean and sanitize my bed and tools between every client as standard in keeping you safe and sanitary for your appointment. 🫧

Coming to your lash appointment with clean lashes is the standard for every appointment — full sets, fills, mini fills… all of them. ✨

Think of it this way: would you go to the dentist without brushing your teeth first?

Seeing me with dirty lashes is kind of the same concept. It’s sanitary practice. Washing your lashes before your appointment sets both of us up for success:
• better retention
• better bonding
• fuller results
• more efficient appointment time

Our natural lashes already act like little filters for oil, debris, makeup, dead skin cells, and environmental buildup. Once extensions are added, that filter becomes even bigger — meaning buildup happens faster than most people realize.

Arriving with buildup on the lashes can create a false bond with the adhesive, leading to premature shedding and poor retention. It also takes away from the time we actually have scheduled for lashing.

Daily lash cleansing is important not just for retention, but also for lash health and sanitation. Heavy buildup around the lash line can contribute to irritation and conditions like blepharitis, dermatitis, and demodex (lash mites).

And for liability purposes — disclaimer time — I am not a doctor (though I do have a medical background), so take my warnings as you will:

Wash. Your. Lashes. Daily. 🤍

Need to wash before your appointment? You’re always welcome to arrive a few minutes early and use one of the sinks in studio.

If needed, a lash cleanse can be provided for a $15 convenience fee, though please note this cleansing time does come out of your scheduled appointment time. Xx -Megan

Effortless beauty. Intentional artistry.
Every set is customized with lash health, precision, and longevity in mind. Because details matter.

I wanted to be completely transparent in the posting of this photo- I noticed a disclaimer stating it was AI content, and while yes, I did use AI to edit the clients skin and the overall lighting and tone of the photo- the lashes are completely untouched and made by hand by me. I included the original unedited photo for comparison. 🫶🏻
