Today we’d like to introduce you to Jasmine Dunn.
Hi Jasmine, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I started taking my lash business seriously during my senior year of high school. I decided that I did not want to work while going to nursing school so I knew I would need to work hard to maintain a consistent clientele. Once I graduate from high school, I started going to college at Baptist University, and during my freshman semester, I also begin esthetician school at DCI Academy.
It took discipline, prayer, and sacrifice to attend both at the same time. I am currently a senior at Baptist University and a licensed esthetician! Over the years, I have grown as an entrepreneur, lash tech, nursing student, and lash product supplier.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
It hasn’t always been smooth. I was tired and sleepy attending both schools at the same time. I was only lashing on weekends, and I was taking 10/11 clients a day to pay tuition for esthetician school.
Additionally, the growing clientele wasn’t as hard back then because there were only a few younger lash techs so a lot of the people my age knew that I lashed. I never worried about others supporting me because I knew I was putting in the work on my end.
I was practicing my craft, I sent out my information to people directly on social media, and I maintained a good reputation.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I specialize in mink extensions and body waxing, and I sell lash products for other lash techs to purchase. I am most proud of being able to invest my time to teach others the skill set and about business.
What sets me apart from others is that I genuinely enjoy what I do. A lot of people start lashing because of financial reward; however, when there’s passion behind your work it shows through your work and how you run your business.
We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
Success is different for everybody, but for me, I believe success is setting a goal and reaching that goal.
