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

Hi Amber, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I really just wanted to get into something that I loved, in a industry that I could also expand in. I love feeling and getting beautiful so why not help someone else feel the same if not more.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m currently working in a corporate environment for a telecommunications company. My time there is coming to an end due to a relocation conflict. I got started with them about 9 years ago. It was just a job I got paid well in. I’ve always known that I wanted to do something different, something that I loved. When I came across the lash extensions, I knew that was it! That’s what I wanted to do, but at the time I was so consumed with the comfort of my corporate job so I kept putting it off. I relocated with my job to avoid a lay off, which was a disaster lol. During that time lashing was still in my heart, so I got started on putting some of the pieces of the business together. It came to another stop with my work schedule and the lack of schools where I was relocated. Even though Covid came with horrible and terrible changes as well as outcome for the world, it really saved me. I was able to come back home to work. With me being back home, I was able to find myself again and get back on the right track with life and my business. I was finally able to find a school that fit my schedule and specialized in licensing lash extension techs. I was so excited, proud, and nervous about a new chapter being added. Being able to step out and do something different was a breath of fresh air but within that same breath I had to also grasp that my comfort, my job was ending due to work from home was ending and I refused to relocate back. As of now I’m out on faith putting my all in something I love . I believe that my lash business is my true purpose because everything has aligned and set up effortlessly for me to do. I can’t wait to see what greatness awaits me with lash extensions, I’m extremely excited and anxious on what awaits me with this new adventure.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family as a whole would be the ones who encourage me the most following would be, Glance lash academy for the training, encouraging instigators, and the opportunity to be a licensed lash technician.
