Hello My Lovers of Fashion / Beauty / Style!

April is a month of perfect weather!  It's spring time & the blossoming of all things beautiful.  Therefore, this month, we decided to embark on something a little special and shift our focus a bit to shed light on the BUSINESS OF BEAUTY.  We are beginning a mini-series of blogs on #askjo all around the BEAUTY Industry and all of the products that keep us looking fresh, young and pulled together! Let's kick off the month of Beauty with something trendy, hip & eye-opening... yes, LASHES! 

Oh the wonder of LASHES! As of late, LASHES have become such a strong trend for women of all ages! From young teens, to moms, to grandmothers... why so? That is exactly what we wanted to figure out. Aside from the obvious, what else makes lashes incredibly defining? We ourselves LOVE lashes, I mean, what woman doesn't want the batty-ness and eye twinkle? This week we decided to interview friend, entrepreneur, mother and all around amazing woman, hair & lash expert, THERESA FUENTES, owner of @LASH LOUNGE- a hip, cool lash studio in Scottsdale, Arizona dedicated to serving their customers and providing only QUALITY work and service! Can we just mention the very fitting modern name too? @Lash. LOVE IT! From humble beginnings to a thriving, successful lash business, let's take a peek into the life (and mind) of this marvelous woman!

We absolutely love that! "A magical place"... who doesn't love a customer-centric studio with amazing talent encompassing hard work, dedication and commitment? Back in the day, I was one of Theresa's earliest customers when she was doing lashes from her home!  I saw the vision then and am so proud of the amazing business she has built from the ground up. We truly see the importance of lashes and how it can drastically change a person's look; to help give women that "more open eye".  Theresa does an amazing job of exposing that beautiful nature.
