Unfortunately this project was not successful.

To open a salon to enable me to train others and move my business from my house to a more professional setting.

My name is Jodie and I became a lash artist after being let go from my previous job due to illness. I had previously trained in lash extensions and with no option to be employed at the time due to my health I decided to start a business of my own.

In the first year of business I was working 7 days a week and all hours (even until 1am!) of the day to try and build my client base. I was determined not to let my health problems get in the way of providing for my family.

Fast forward 2.5 years and I’ve now build a solid client based being booked in advance for 2 weeks at a time. Naturally my next step was to become a trainer so I had purchased the training course and managed to complete the whole course in just 3 weeks juggling it around my children and my clients.

I now want to expand my business out of my bedroom and into my own space. My goal is to rent my own salon to work and teach from. Unfortunately with today’s financial market it’s hard to get the support you need from your typical sources for that boost you need to kick start your business. I’ve found my space and I really want to make this happen as soon as possible, I have the plan in place just not the financial support for it.

Another promise I have made to myself and had set this as a goal since I had started my business is that when had reached trainer status I wanted each year to help someone that had been in my position before become a lash artist and each year hold a raffle for people who had similar circumstances to enter to win my courses for free. This is something I’m really passionate about and am excited and grateful to be in a position to offer this help to someone else.

I really need just a small help to get my business on its way, I had tried traditional ways but they have not yet worked so this is a last stop.

I would be extremely grateful to anyone who would support
