About The Owner
Hi! My name is Andrea. I've been in the beauty industry since 2016, and started doing lashes in 2017. But my journey started earlier than that! I originally went to beauty school in 2003, feeling that it wasn't the right fit for me I decided to leave the school after completing 1/2 the course. After getting married, and having two kids, I went back in 2016. With a re-invigoration for the beauty industry and a drive to pour into people's lives, to make them feel seen and beautiful, I graduated cosmetology school in 2017. The day I graduated I was messaged by an acquaintance who had a salon available, and she needed to get out of the lease. She gave us the salon without needing any compensation. So, being new into the industry and with no "rules" of how I was to use my salon, I explored the many avenues of the beauty industry, and was intrigued by lash extensions.
After researching the available classes and courses in my area, at the time I was located in Montana, I came across a certification course. This course was a volume certification and noted it was great for people with no prior lashing experience. With confidence and no other knowledge of how one should proceed into lashing, I eagerly signed up for this course. It was a one day course in my hometown. When coming to this training I was excited to learn everything there was to learn about lash extensions, only to be disappointed that there was no direction with theory, chemistry, or really anything except for fan making, isolation, and vague placement demonstration. After taking my first model and only applying maybe 20 fans per eye in 3 full hours, and not really understanding what I was doing I went home and messaged a local lash trainer... which was a much better course. So in a span of 4 weeks I had taken two classes.
With a better understanding of lashing, some additional local support, as well as my determination, I continued lashing. During this time, I also was a hairstylist taking clients doing hair and still lashing as well. I had only been lashing 5 months, at this point still only doing classic and volume lashing, when a local lash artist moved away, providing a huge influx of lashing clients. This was one of the first times I had seen other lash artist work that was superior in retention and craft. I had looked up to this artist, with her gentle but firm communication with clients of what good lashing is and what you should expect from your lashes. Her retention was exceptional. I was amazed at how her lashes looked so full, with way better retention than I was having. At this time in the lashing industry, just in 2018, people were not helping other lash artists out, gatekeeping their techniques and products used... but I reached out to her asking what she used. She told me she was using NovaLash adhesive. I was so thrilled she gave me this information! Like I said, I had reached out to other lash artist, only with having them not reply.
In June of 2018 I took a NovaLash course. It was solely for the purpose to get the adhesive to be able to get the best retention. This course was $1,200 and the average adhesive was $150 per bottle! PER BOTTLE! But, for good retention this was worth it for me and my client's happiness. The biggest issue with this was the FUMES! This glue was SPICY! All of my clients burned when using this glue, but the retention was good so I kept using it, not entirely understanding what glue was the best for my clients and myself as an artist. It was at this point that I decided to quit doing hair and solely focus my energy and attention on lash extensions.
Fast forward to January of 2020, I had been lashing, at this time, for 2+ years . I had been asked several times to teach others to do lash extensions, but I did not think I had the understanding of lashing, chemistry, and all the theory needed to do this... until a lash brand reached out to ME! This is where I began my journey as a lash trainer. I had been training for some time, when I was not fully happy with the lack of chemistry or composition of the lash extensions. I began my own journey at creating my own training curriculum as well as supporting items for kits. In 2021 EvLo Lash Co was born! The sole original purpose was to get items for lashing kits that would be less expensive and beef up the kits for my students, so they could get more bang for their buck, as well as getting adhesive at a great discount that not only proved to have great retention, but at an affordable price.
With an unquenched desire to learn about the chemistry and why things do what they do in the lashing industry has fueled my passion to searching all the new and innovative advances in this ever growing industry, hence UV Lashing. UV lashing was presented to me by my manufacturer several times. I was questioning about this, because as we will explore this topic, there are conversations about what UV lashing is and the potential risk to the skin. And, after extensive research I decided it was the best option for me and my clients to safely apply lash extensions.
