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

Hi Cydni, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I wanted to create employment for myself. It’s a blessing to be able to create your own employment, and it’s a plus when you LOVE what you do.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I feel like what sets me apart from others is that I actually love and cherish my clients. Without my clients I am nothing. I’m reliable, easy going, and my number 1 priority is customer service. You could be the best lash tech in the city but if your customer service is not there, you will never get far. The lessons Ive learned along the way is to not sell yourself short, stick to your policies and create a relationship with your clients. I want the world to know that starting your own lash journey isn’t easy! You waste a lot of money in the beginning and you stress about not having clients or have thoughts that you’re not “good enough” or why you aren’t on someone else’s level. Don’t pay attention to what others are doing, do you and practice! Practice, practice, promote and practice! I promise as long as you are being true to yourself and grinding you will get there. It definitely takes time and patience to build that clientele.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’m honestly not big on going out. I mostly like to try new restaurants, my favorite right now Perry’s Steak house, their food and drinks are amazing!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Honestly, the reason I even started lashing and becoming my own boss is because of my best friend Jennifer. She kept pushing me and pushing me to do it when I always had doubt. She would always encourage me and tell me I would do great and to take that leap of faith! So glad I listened.
