Can You Start as a Lash Tech in 2022?

Bloki Podcast

This week I sat down with Kadie Ashenden from BLINK to understand what it's truly like to be a lash tech. She told me about her struggles with balancing time for her family and friends while running a business alongside her full-time job and what effect's that has had on her mental health. Kadie was honest, bubbly and passionate in everything she said. We hope you enjoy it!
