The Story Before
The Success
You’re probably on this page because you want to learn more about me. Before I tell you about the awards, the businesses, the stages, or the thousands of clients I’ve had the privilege of serving, I want you to know something first. The woman you see today wasn’t built overnight. She was built through setbacks, heartbreak, long nights, and the decision to keep going anyway. My journey wasn’t glamorous. It was messy. I am a mom of four, worked a full-time job at Ford while trying to figure out what my purpose looked like. Then life hit me hard. After having my youngest child, I experienced severe complications that led to congestive heart failure. My ejection fraction dropped to just 24%, and I wasn’t sure what the future would hold.
But I refused to let that be the end of my story. I went back to school at night to become an esthetician while still working full time. I earned my tattoo license, collected more than 100 certifications, and in 2020, I took a leap of faith and started B Lashed Ink. It wasn’t easy. There were moments I questioned everything. I was laid off. I’ve made mistakes. I learned lessons the hard way.
But I kept showing up. One client became ten. Ten became hundreds. Hundreds became thousands. Today, I’ve helped transform the confidence of more than 2,000 women through permanent makeup, lashes, skincare, and beauty education. I’ve trained over 100 beauty professionals, built an award-winning beauty business, earned more than 250 five-star Google reviews, and have been blessed to speak, teach, and lead in rooms I once only dreamed of being in. More importantly, I’ve learned this: You don’t have to have the perfect circumstances to create an extraordinary life.
You don’t have to know every step before you begin. You simply have to decide that your current chapter won’t be your final chapter.
Because confidence isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you build.
And if my story proves anything, it’s that systems, persistence, and support can change the outcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

Tell us about your story
I started B Lashed Ink in 2020 after leaving a stable job at Ford. I was a mom of four with big dreams and a deep desire to do something more creative, fulfilling, and mine. I’ve always loved making people feel beautiful, and once I stepped into the beauty world, I knew I had found my calling. I began with lash extensions and quickly fell in love with the artistry. That passion grew into a full-service beauty studio offering permanent makeup, brows, lips, eyeliner, facials, and now advanced services like Procell Microchanneling. I’ve also expanded into mentoring and training aspiring beauty professionals it lights me up to help other women build something they can be proud of too.
Everything I’ve built has been rooted in care, connection, and a serious obsession with quality. I treat every client like royalty and every service like a custom experience. B Lashed Ink is more than beauty it’s about confidence, transformation, and simplifying the everyday routine for women who deserve to feel amazing.
What do you think it takes to be successful?
Success in my field seems to come from a blend of skill, strategy, and heart. Here’s what I think it takes…..
Mastery of Your Craft
My clients trust me with their appearance, which means top-tier skills in permanent makeup, lash artistry, and beauty techniques are essential. Staying on top of trends and continually investing in education ensures I offer the best services possible.
Exceptional Customer Experience
From the moment clients walk in, they feel valued and pampered. I’ve created a calming, luxurious environment (aromatherapy candles, relaxing music, massage chairs) that leaves a lasting impression. Personal touches, like remembering birthdays or favorite playlists, build client loyalty and trust.
Genuine Relationships
My approach goes beyond beauty; I empower clients and boost their confidence. Being relatable, approachable, and genuinely caring about my clients’ needs fosters strong, long-term relationships.
