In this episode, Natalie and Otilia are back for part two — diving deep into education, integrity, and the realities of growing in an oversaturated industry 🎙️.
They talk about everything from lash lifts, lamination, and the “Korean method” trend to the importance of choosing educators who align with your values 🌸. Together, they unpack what makes a course worth investing in, how to make online education actually digestible, and why some trainings feel more like money grabs than mentorships.
This episode also gets into marketing, mentorship, client communication, burnout, and boundaries — plus the importance of being yourself on social media, showing your face, and learning to let go of perfectionism 💛.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a new artist finding your footing, this one’s packed with laughs, truth, and tangible advice on how to grow with authenticity in the beauty world ✨.
