Pro Tips & Tricks — Grow Your Beauty Business

Lash lifting has evolved with innovative techniques that allow artists to customize treatments for every client. Three of the most advanced approaches today are the Korean Lash Lift, the Freestyle Lash Lift Method, and the Adhesive-Free Lash Lift Method — all developed, researched, and refined through Elleebana’s advanced education programs.

As women move through perimenopause and menopause, our skin starts to tell the story of the changes happening within our bodies. While the journey is natural and beautiful, it often brings along new skincare challenges—like dryness, loss of firmness, increased sensitivity, and more noticeable fine lines. The good news? With the right care and targeted ingredients, your skin can remain healthy, radiant, and resilient through this transition and beyond.

Your skin is constantly working behind the scenes—shedding, renewing, and regenerating in a natural rhythm known as the skin cycle. By understanding this cycle, you can tailor your skincare routine to better support your skin’s needs and achieve optimal results.

As estheticians, our mission is to protect and enhance the health of our clients' skin — not just on the surface, but deep down.

As beauty professionals, we know that serums, tints, and grooming products are only part of the equation when it comes to healthy lashes and brows. The truth is, many clients overlook the everyday habits that impact growth, strength, and retention — especially between appointments.

In the beauty industry, creating a seamless client experience while increasing your revenue per appointment is the ultimate win-win. If you're already offering lash lift services, there's a perfect opportunity sitting right above those lashes—brow lamination. By bundling these services or skillfully upselling them, you can enhance your client's overall look and grow your business at the same time.

As a licensed esthetician, I’m often asked about the difference between soft wax and hard wax.

When it comes to skincare, there’s one non-negotiable step that should never be skipped—SPF. No matter the season, weather, or skin type, protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays is essential for maintaining a youthful, healthy complexion.

April marks Rosacea Awareness Month, a time dedicated to shedding light on this common but often misunderstood skin condition. Rosacea affects millions of people worldwide, causing redness, inflammation, and sensitivity, particularly on the face.
