History of The Lash Lounge

The Lash Lounge was the first salon dedicated to eyelash extensions in the US. The concept was developed by founder Anna Phillips as a result of her own private spa practice exploding when she added the service of semi-permanent eyelash extensions in 2004.

Unable to keep up with the demand on her own, she eliminated her other service offerings and expanded her eyelash business into a six room salon in 2006. Within 2 years she had successfully opened three locations and was receiving requests from customers to open outside the Dallas/Fort Worth area. This promoted her expansion into the franchise industry where she pioneered a new market niche in personal care franchise concepts. The Lash Lounge has since grown into the nation’s preeminent eyelash extension business with the help of a wonderful community of like-minded franchise owners. Anna’s clear vision of “helping others feel beautiful, confident, and empowered to achieve their dreams” has propelled the business to 14 open salons in markets throughout the US, and 11 under development. The Lash Lounge is one of the most exciting emerging franchise concepts in the market today.

Our single focus on helping women look and feel their best, along with our straightforward approach and sound operating principles, have made us a leader in our industry. We have developed a sophisticated operating system that allows us to leverage technology and gives our franchisees the ability to open multiple units and build a significant business, all while keeping the safety and security of their full-time job.

Role of the owner

The Lash Lounge is about building a business not buying a job! Our successful franchisees work on their businesses not in their business. Your role as a Lash Lounge owner would be to run the business side of your business while leaving the day-to-day operations and servicing of the customers to your manager and team of technicians. This frees up your time to keep the safety and security of your full-time job, open multiple units, and build wealth.

“This is a feel-good business. We provide our clients with "effortless glamour", and it's amazing to watch all these people come in every two weeks, be pampered by my amazing staff, and leave my salon with a renewed sense of self confidence and personal beauty.
Amy Cline , Allen, Texas

“I have never owned a business before, but after researching The Lash Lounge, speaking with the franchise owners, and with Anna, I realized that the business opportunity was perfect for me. I never would have dreamed that the success of my first location would allow me to open another. But that's what happened, and honestly, some mornings I have to pinch myself to make sure that my Lash Lounge lifestyle is a reality.
Teresa Robertson , Austin, NW & Round Rock, TX

“Initially my husband was skeptical about the business, but one we looked at the numbers that all changed. I still remember the look on his face when he saw the financials of the business, from that point on he was the aggressive one, pushing us to apply for a franchise. Now that we are franchise owners, I love my life! I run the operations of the salon I manage the staff, and basically do all the fun stuff! my husband manages the numbers and together we make a fabulous team. My advice is, if you consider yourself a social person with an entrepreneurial flare,, and have a passion for great customer service, then do yourself a favor and look further into The Lash Lounge.
