Chantel Morales
Assistant General Manager
The Lash Lounge Happy Valley – Christilla Commons, Hillsboro – Streets of Tanasbourne, Lake Oswego – Windward, Portland – Bethany Village and Portland – NW 23rd
“During my interview with The Lash Lounge back in 2021, I was asked about my leadership style. I said, ‘A great leader makes other great leaders.’ That belief has guided me every day since. I’m committed to helping my team grow—not just into great lash artists, but into great leaders in the beauty industry and in the world of customer care. To me, greatness isn’t just about mastering a skill—it’s also about how we treat each other: with respect, empathy and genuine care. I feel incredibly fortunate to work alongside people who challenge me, inspire me, and remind me that we’re all in this together. Every role here matters. Every person matters. And I’m proud to grow in a place where greatness is a shared journey. ”

“Creating a positive work culture is essential for the success and well-being of my team. It leads to higher job satisfaction, increased productivity, and lower turnover rates. I am fortunate to work with such talented and committed individuals who inspire me every day. This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of everyone on our team. I am committed to continuing to lead and support our team to the best of my abilities and to contribute to the ongoing success and growth of our salons.”

“My team inspires me every day. I love providing a safe space for young women to explore their passions and soar to success in a career they love! To be recognized and celebrated for my work over the last 5 years at The Lash Lounge is both humbling and thrilling.”
Special Shoutout to this year’s Best of The Best Manager!
Chantal Morales is The Lash Lounge’s 2024 inductee to the Manager Hall of Fame! Hear from The Lash Lounge Portland’s* ownership group, Sandro Pitari and Maria Pitari, on why she sets the salon manager bar for the full franchise system:
“Chantal joined our team as the salon supervisor of our Lake Oswego location just four years ago. After quickly establishing the salon as one of the top performers in the franchise, she was promoted to assistant general manager where she oversees operations across all five Portland salons, boasting 25 new members every month and 93% member retention in 2024.
Chantal is an exceptional leader with a results-driven mindset who approaches every challenge with positivity and a proactive attitude. Supporting and empowering a staff of nearly 50, she leads with determination, poise and enthusiasm, along with a commitment to developing a meaningful, supportive relationship with every team member. Her knowledge of the business—especially front desk training, conflict, inventory and cost management, and SOP implementation—dedication and hard work is integral to our success, and we are deeply grateful for all she does.”
