A New Experience andOpportunity in the BeautyIndustryWhat exactly are eyelash extensions?Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent and made from synthetic fibersdesigned to replicate the curve and size of natural lashes. Each lash is appliedone by one to clients’ own natural lashes.

The extensions we use are made of soft and lush fibers with a high glossfinish. Amazing Lash Studio carries different colors, lengths, thicknesses,curls, and materials – including mink lashes. The customizable combinationsto fit each client’s specific look are nearly endless. With proper care andregular maintenance visits, lash extensions can last a long time, withtouch-ups usually needed about every two to four weeks, depending on theclients’ natural lash growth cycle and personal preferences.

And, of course, our products and services are SAFE. Synthetic eyelashes areadhered about one millimeter away from skin and Amazing Lash Studio onlyuses pharmaceutical grade adhesive, which never comes in contact with skin.

An Amazing Opportunityto Stand Out From the Rest• Be the vanguard in your area, operating in a fairly new market niche, withvery few competing franchise systems.

• Leverage a specialized business model, featuring streamlined, patentpending application procedures, that is head and shoulders above otherindependent salons.

• Manage a year-round, appointment-based, recurring business concept thatallows you to accurately project business volume and adapt for growthaccordingly.

• Provide top-quality, in-demand services with a broad target customer base;busy women of all walks of life – a wide range of age groups and economicprofiles – seek out the low-maintenance lifestyle and beauty of lashextensions.

• Take advantage of multiple potential revenue streams: lash servicesincluding initial full sets, partial sets and touch-ups, highlights (coloredlashes), and eyebrow threading plus mascaras, lash conditioning serums, andother private label beauty and skin care products.

The beauty industry… is plowing more time and moneyinto products [including] lash-by-lash extensions…cosmetics executives are rushing to satisfy volumeseekers’ voracious appetite for full, separated lashes.
