Why I quit lashing?

I’ve been a licensed cosmetologist for 4 years now & owned a successful solo biz. I was so busy with work and had my son I really didn’t give myself time to heal. Now 20 months later I’m going through physical therapy for my pelvic floor which has affected me in many ways.

Pros of lashing:

- [ ] You can make as much as you want. You determine prices, you determine how much you invest into products. Etc..

- [ ] Flexible schedule

- [ ] It’s very therapeutic for detail oriented people

- [ ] You build great connections

- [ ] You can be creative 🤌🏼

Cons of lashing:

- [ ] Constant back pain

- [ ] Not being able to take off without feeling guilty

- [ ] No benefits 👎🏼 (not even a little something for them chiropractic bills)

- [ ] Being so busy that you don’t even take a break to eat (I lost weight FAST)

- [ ] Constantly have to post on social media, service clients, and run the establishment smoothly 😭

I loved my time lashing but it’s definitely not for the weak! Make sure you prioritize yourself throughout your journey. ❤️ #shareyourthoughts #lashextensions #lashtech #lashtechtips #storytime #cosmetology #cosmetologist #esthetician #lashartist #myexperience

Lashing, a popular beauty service, can be rewarding yet demanding. Many lash technicians experience burnout due to long hours and physical strain, leading to health issues like chronic pain. It's essential for anyone in the industry to establish healthy boundaries and remember self-care. Flexible schedules and creative expression are among the pros, but the lack of benefits and the pressure to maintain a social media presence can be overwhelming. For anyone considering this career, it’s crucial to weigh the positives against potential downsides, prioritize personal well-being, and seek support when needed. Transitioning from lashing to other opportunities can open new doors, allowing professionals to find careers that align better with their life goals and personal health. Engaging with like-minded individuals, whether through online forums or local communities, can provide the support needed for those contemplating a career shift.
