4. AN ON-TREND OFFERING,
WITH PLENTY OF
GROWTH POTENTIAL
[The] eye lash extension craze
has reached new heights…
Long, luscious lashes are
everywhere you look these
days, from the pages of glossy
fashion magazines to the red
carpet to reality TV… stars
have inspired millions of other
women to do the same.

5. A New Experience and
Opportunity in the Beauty
Industry
What exactly are eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent and made from synthetic fibers
designed to replicate the curve and size of natural lashes. Each lash is applied
one by one to clients’own natural lashes.
The extensions we use are made of soft and lush fibers with a high gloss
finish. Amazing Lash Studio carries different colors, lengths, thicknesses,
curls, and materials – including mink lashes.The customizable combinations
to fit each client’s specific look are nearly endless. With proper care and
regular maintenance visits, lash extensions can last a long time, with
touch-ups usually needed about every two to four weeks, depending on the
clients’natural lash growth cycle and personal preferences.
And, of course, our products and services are SAFE. Synthetic eyelashes are
adhered about one millimeter away from skin and Amazing Lash Studio only
uses pharmaceutical grade adhesive, which never comes in contact with skin.
An Amazing Opportunity
to Stand Out From the Rest
• Be the vanguard in your area, operating in a fairly new market niche, with
very few competing franchise systems.
• Leverage a specialized business model, featuring streamlined, patent
pending application procedures, that is head and shoulders above other
independent salons.
• Manage a year-round, appointment-based, recurring business concept that
allows you to accurately project business volume and adapt for growth
accordingly.
• 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 economic
profiles – seek out the low-maintenance lifestyle and beauty of lash
extensions.
• Take advantage of multiple potential revenue streams: lash services
including initial full sets, partial sets and touch-ups, highlights (colored
lashes), and eyebrow threading plus mascaras, lash conditioning serums, and
other private label beauty and skin care products.
The beauty industry… is plowing more time and money
into products [including] lash-by-lash extensions…
cosmetics executives are rushing to satisfy volume
seekers’voracious appetite for full, separated lashes.
