Widely known as one of the early experts, Phillips was primed with the experience and vision to design a retreat for accessible, aspirational and highly professional eyelash extensions. As such, The Lash Lounge franchise set the bar for expertise, training, certification and customization—claiming early the premier position in an exploding industry.
