Today we’d like to introduce you to Tia Blythe.
Tia, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
My husband always tells me he is gonna put me through school and to find out what I wanted to go for. I always put what he said off because I was more focused on providing for my family for the moment. My 9-5 is good money but with three kids and a husband, it’s never good to settle for the bare minimum, so I got to thinking every day at work when I get my income tax, I wanna invest in something I love to do and make extra money. I know how to do hair but I don’t like to be on my feet all day. I always got compliments on my strip lashes and people tell me “you put them on so good, they look like extensions” And everybody knows I can’t go without lashes. One day at work, I told my co-worker I will start doing lash extensions. She encouraged me to go ahead and do it and she said, I believe in you, I get extensions but I’ll wait till you start and start coming to you. That motivated me and I learned from Yegi Beauty in California online training and ordered all my supplies. I practiced on my mannequin one day and said “this easy” and I just start posting my work and I got a few clients within a few days.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It has been a very smooth road. I push myself with or without support. I know Dallas is BIG and it’s a few other lash techs in my area, but we all know different people so my clientele has been steady for what I want until I get in a shop. I have not ran into any struggles but if I do, that will push me to go harder.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the I am Doll Lash Extensions story. Tell us more about the business.
My business is Eyelash Extensions. Eyelash Extensions enhance the length, curliness, fullness, and thickness of natural eyelashes. I make sure all my clients leave loving their extensions. After I’m done, I’ll ask them to look in the mirror and let me know if they want them more full or more natural-looking. I want them to be completely satisfied. If it’s a client who never had them, I have guides and pictures to show them and explain to them the different length, styles, and thickness. What sets me apart from others I strive for nothing but GREATNESS. I know business comes with criticism, but I want it to be in a good way on how next time I can improve. If a client loses some lashes within 48 hours after due to not completely drying or slept wrong, I’ll fill them for free.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I don’t believe in luck. I believe everything happens for a reason. Support has played a major roll in my business.
