What if the “secret” to success isn’t necessarily flashy marketing but relentless consistency? In this episode, I sit down with 2024 Lash Trainer of the Year Sandra Lee. She’s the founder of Lashfullee Academy & Studio and the creator of the viral Three-Second Fanning Method neither of which she planned for in the beginning of her lash career.
We dive into the behind-the-scenes truth of how she went from barely scraping by with part-time jobs to being recognized by the lash industry’s
biggest names. Spoiler alert: her journey involved burnout, a few thrown tweezers (so relatable!), and a whole lot of figuring it out the hard way.
Tune in for our convo on industry innovation, modern lash education, and why consistency and community are so key to lash artists’ growth and success.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How Sandra went from survival mode to building a lash empire
- The unexpected way she became Lash Trainer of the Year (plus bts of applying for the Lashie Awards!)
- Why throwing her tweezers (almost) led to her signature technique
- What do most lash trainings miss and how do we fix it?
- How she built a 16-person team and why she scaled back
- Real-talk about burnout, boundaries, and building better, not bigger
- What was the mindset shift that transformed her confidence and business?
- Her top tips for consistent client retention that solo artists can use
