Confessions of a Lash Artist - "Hot Dawg Lady"
My client told me this story about her previous experience with a lash girl. This was a home based studio, and not the professional kind.
During the service, their kids were running through the house, in and out of the treatment space, the artist was distracted and constantly stopping to text\deal with the kids. She had a dog that she just picked up and put on-top of clients regularly.
The artist left the treatment room for so long, the client thought that she didn’t hear that her appointment was done and she could leave. When the artist came back in, she had gotten a snack for her dog. Raw hot dogs!
She began feeding bits of these RAW HOT DOGS to her dog, still on-top of the client…… Not ONCE did this girl wash her hands!
Now just imagine the smell and moisture of wet, HOT DOG HANDS touching your face! Mix that with a little bit of dog saliva for the cherry on top.
I’ve never been so horrified!
