We had the good fortune of connecting with Les Lewis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Les, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I learned a new skill that I wanted to share with women who reminded me of myself. Being a single mother let alone a teen mother, you don’t make a lot of time to care for yourself. With the services I provide as a Lash Artist, I show women how to put self-care first. Once I enrolled in school to be a licensed lash artist I knew that was just the beginning & 4 years later I’m still standing learning more & more each day about the beauty industry.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Being a lash artist gives me the creativity, to be honest about who I am. What makes me stand apart from any other lash artists is that I’ve built genuine relationships with my clients so I see them as more than just clients. I’ve gotten to where I am today by working hard and not giving up. It hasn’t been easy going into business for myself but I’ve learned that as long as I keep applying myself I can accomplish my goals. I’ve learned that not all risk taking is bad for business you just have to trust yourself and the process. I want the world to know JusLesLashes is here to stay and continue making women feel beautiful & to know beauty is in the hands of the beholder

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love a good karaoke spot! So when me and my bestie are out on the town we always check out Heroes Lounge for a little karaoke and reggae

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to say thank you to my community that continues to support me while I’m on my business journey no need to name names because they know who they are. I appreciate all of you for listening to me, encouraging me, motivating me when I can’t motivate myself and always always pushing me to be better than who I was the day before.
