You are so welcome!

There is always room for the best. My Dad always says this and helps everyone around him try to succeed as he has, sharing his experience and knowledge. He is an amazing Surgeon, no such thing as competition because he does not believe in it. You two emulate his values to the tee. I try so hard to do this, being in this industry for 25+ years so many are so afraid you are out to “get something from them” I listen to you and definitely look up to you as examples. Thank you!

[@LivBayLash]

Aww thank you for that, we really do appreciate it♥

[@maribelflores5950]

Thank you guys!!!!!! I’ve been looking into starting my own brand because, like you both said, it gets hard when you need a certain type of lash, and your usual go-to brand is always out of stock, or it gets way too expensive. You guys are the best!!!! I would love to be an ambassador and will be saving up for your classes, especially the business one! Keep doing what you do, you guys are amazing 💖

i've been doing most of what you guys advised. I guess its basically what i figured it to be, trial and error. ty

[@LivBayLash]

MsJojonyc yes. Unfortunately we still go through trial and error with multiple distributors to this day when we guinea pig new products. 💕

[@breannavaca-cedillo8983]

What do you believe would be a ‘starting investment’ when we start ordering from a distributor? I am the only artist in my studio & I have so many ideas for my line. What’s your best advice on $$ to start?

[@LivBayLash]

Just start with you know the amount you would go through maybe in 2-3 months and see how that goes♥ Also remember sometimes distributors have a minimum amount to purchase so you can always just start at the minimum and build from there

[@LivBayLash]

Isabella Rivera thank you we appreciate that 💕

[@lionesslash]

Yeah I work in the service industry so I always compare the "agents" to the representative of a certain kind of beer for example. Let's say the brewer Jupiler has 20 representatives for every province - and they just 'send them out' to go to your restaurant and talk to you about promotions etc. But it's all thesame factory.

[@Outlawlashes]

What do you mean shipping agent ? How would I get that ?

I would just google shipping agent and read through them and decide which one is best for you♥ Its usually a company who handles shipping your packages to you instead of it coming directly from the manufacturer that way you can control the tracking and follow your packages as they come so they are not lost.
