In this heartfelt episode of 'Not Just Lashes,' Shannique and Dixie sit down with Mo Hamil, the creator and host of the lash industry get together, Lash Bash.  She is also the owner of Lash Out in Texas, who has over 25 years of experience in the beauty industry.

Mo shares her inspiring journey from starting as a receptionist at a hair salon to becoming a successful lash artist and business owner. Despite being devastated by Hurricane Harvey, losing both her home and salon, Mo received overwhelming support from the lash community, which helped her rebuild everything she had lost.

Through resilience and determination, Mo turned her hardships into a thriving venture with Lash Bash, a networking, social gathering, and party for lash artists aimed at fostering community and support in an industry that can often feel isolating. She emphasizes the importance of perseverance, community, and continuous growth and learning. This episode is a must-watch for both aspiring and established lash artists looking for motivation and a sense of belonging in the beauty industry.
