161. Blaze of Lashiivo Shares Her Journey Of Opening A Lash Studio At The Age of 17

What were you doing when you were 17? Did you have a game plan and know what you wanted to do for your career? I had some ideas of what I wanted to do but I definitely had no plans to have my own business. For many people, I know the fear of the unknown and fear of failure keep them from taking chances and pursuing their dreams. Blaze Lloyd the founder of Lashiivo is not one of those people. We really enjoyed talking to this dynamic young woman who started her first lash salon at the age of 17. While I'm sure there are things that scare Blaze, when it comes to building a business, she is quite fearless. Her story is unique and I'm sure you will be encouraged and inspired by it. She's only been doing lashes for a short time and already has a lash salon and product line. Blaze does not wait for permission to try things...she just does them and figures it out as she goes. www.lashiivo.com IG: @lashiivo ANNOUNCEMENTS:⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ YOU NEED TO ENTER THE FIRST ANNUAL "LASHIES"⁣ ⁣ There are two divisions to choose from: SOLO LASH ARTIST AND LASH SALON OWNER.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ In each division, there are five categories: Overcoming Story, Customer Service, Client Retention and Referral Program, Technology, and Salon Design.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Each category essay will be rated by multiple anonymous judges.
