Michelle Davies
Founder & CEO
I remember the first time I got lashes. I was a model for my daughter and it took a grueling 4 hours on a hotel table…so glad that’s changed! I’ve always been a minimalist when it comes to make up and I thought at the time ‘this is crazy!’ Needless to say I quickly became a Lash Addict. What I love about lashes is the sheer simplicity. You look fantastic and better yet you feel beautiful which means you feel confident; what a beautiful gift to give a woman at any age!
Cristina Fard
Executive Director
It’s an honor to serve the lash industry and the individual lash artists who are the beating heart of this lash ecosystem. They deserve the best from us and my hope for the ALA is that we can be their home for resources and support.

The Lash Industry is new, just emerging and becoming one of the most important beauty segments in the professional beauty world. It has brought something to everyone from teenagers to elders. It's amazing to watch its growth, fueled by organic social marketing, small business development, and home schooled entrepreneurs. This Industry is giving everyone an even playing field to become their own boss and grow their brands in their own way. It is true independence! The American Lash Association is a way to empower and support all of the Lash Artists across America and the world. They can guide their industry in a way that reflects their own commitment and pride. It's a grass roots industry, being built by the small business owners that have created it. I love being a part of such an amazing movement!

What I love most is our sense of community. Connecting with others who share common experiences can create lifelong friendships. And being a part of such a unique community provides each member with access to a wealth of knowledge, benefits and opportunities they might not have had otherwise. Community makes us stronger
Tia Moskowitz
Creative & Special Events Director
What I love most are the people. The ALA has brought together a collection of individuals happy to each contribute a wealth of creativity and innovative spirit. This unique collaboration has created a foundation for an amazing community moving forward.
Brittany Hawse
Industry Advocate
I love the idea behind ALA because when you start out as a solo lash artist it can be lonely, and overwhelming. ALA is giving lash artists a community that you can join to get support and meet other artists on the same journey as you.
