Finding Unique Opportunities in the Lash Industry with Tress Larson
The lash industry is evolving and with it comes, new and unexpected opportunities for lash artists and business owners. In a recent conversation with Tress Larson from Paris Lash Academy (PLA), we explored how to discover unique job opportunities — even those that don’t yet exist. If you’re looking to elevate your career, build confidence, and expand your network, this is a must read.
Creating Your Own Path in the Lash Industry
Tress’s journey with PLA is a testament to how seizing the right opportunity can transform a career. Many lash artists start by offering client services, but the industry is full of potential beyond the treatment room. From education and product development to brand collaborations and coaching, there are limitless ways to carve your own path.
The key? Stay open to possibilities, think creatively, and never be afraid to ask, “What if?” If a job or role doesn’t exist, there’s a good chance you can create it by leveraging your skills and passions.
Success in the lash industry isn’t just about skill — it’s about confidence. Tress emphasised the importance of believing in yourself, whether you’re just starting out or scaling your business. Confidence allows you to charge your worth, attract the right clients, and make bold moves in your career.
A big part of confidence comes from continual education and surrounding yourself with the right people. This is where events like The Lash Summit Australia come in, offering direct access to leaders who can inspire and guide you.
Attending The Lash Summit Alone? Here’s How to Make the Most of It
Networking can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re attending alone. But Tress shared some powerful advice for making meaningful connections:
Start Conversations: Don’t wait for people to approach you — be the one to introduce yourself. A simple “What brings you to The Lash Summit?” can spark great discussions.
Engage with Speakers & Brands: The experts and sponsors at The Lash Summit are there to help you grow. Ask questions and get involved in discussions. Find speakers after the event at our Afterparty and ask the questions you’ve had time to think of during the day to now share with whom you wish to ask.
Find Your People: Look for others who share your goals and values. Whether it’s through a breakout session or a casual chat at a booth, forming connections will make the event even more valuable.
Why The Lash Summit Australia is a Game-Changer
The Lash Summit isn’t just another beauty event — it’s an opportunity to expand your skills, grow your confidence, and open doors to new possibilities. Whether you’re looking to improve your lash artistry, explore brand partnerships, or transition into education, this event is designed to help you get there.
If you’re attending alone, remember: everyone is there for the same reason—to learn, grow, and connect. By stepping out of your comfort zone, you could walk away with not just knowledge, but career changing opportunities or friendships made.
The lash industry is full of untapped potential. Take it from Tress Larson and PLA — the next big opportunity could be one you create for yourself. Don’t miss your chance to be part of The Lash Summit Australia.
