Today we’d like to introduce you to Karly Ivy.
Hi Karly, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I started in the beauty industry in 2009. I attended Makeup First School of Chicago. While in attendance at Makeup First, I noticed a lot of women had bad skin care and was covering it with make up. I then decided to go to esthetician school right after to help with skincare concerns. My inspiration has always been The great feeling I get from helping women feel good and beautiful about themselves. After completing esthetician school, I took further education classes for eyelash extension training, and that’s how my Lash extension journey got started.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I establish a very successful and lucrative business with reliable clientele. After covid19 hit, my business made it through the pandemic and my clients returned. I decided that next year to open a Beauty bar. Unfortunately, this beauty bar fell Through halfway through construction and I took a hard 15k loss. I then realized I had reached my ceiling in Chicago. I wanted more and to expand my business but nothing was working out for positive progress. This year Of June, due to unfortunate events, I moved to Houston, Tx. I am now starting over as a lash artist and I am also using my knowledge as a 5-year esthetician to create Virtual trainings, and ebooks and sell products while also rebuilding clientele.
