Give me ALL the concert lashes!!!💗🤘🏽🎶

Lizzie has been a client of mine since early 2024, and her lash appointments have ALWAYS been some of my favorites to see on my books!! From literally her first appointment with me, she has trusted me completely and given me so much creative freedom as a lash artist!🥹🫶🏼

We’ve done ALLLL sorts of colorful & holiday lash sets over the years! Like seriously anything!! She’s even let me put BATS in her lashes for Halloween & SHAMROCKS for St. Paddy’s Day before hahaha🤣

Leading up to her concert, we lined up her lash fill so they’d be fresh AND we could hopefully do something fun! But I won’t lie, and neither will Lizzie🤣, she came into her appointment with one eye a little sparser than the other.

As my client, she knows stuff like this happens and it is totally normal & okay!! BUT when I need to play catch up and get everything back to full, it limits the amount of time I have for all the extra creative stuff… which was a bummer for BOTH of us right before her concert!🥲

BUTTTTTTT…

I worked my lash magic, got my girl back to FULLNESS, AND somehow managed to surprise her with the EXACT pink from her nails throughout her lashes!!!💗 Then obviously I had to throw in some sparkles for funsies!✨

The best part?! She had NO IDEA!! She thought she was getting a normal lash fill until I handed her the mirror, and she was over the moon when she realized I still managed to sneak in the pink & sparkles for her concert!!!😆

I will ALWAYS show up for the ones who show up for me!!👏🏻 Thank you for trusting me with your lashes, my creativity, and all my crazy little ideas over the years, Lizzie! I love you so much!!!🥹🫶🏼

If you would’ve told 16 year old Mercedes this is what she does for work, I don’t think she would’ve believe you.💗 I seriously have to pinch myself every Saturday morning as a reminder of how dang lucky I am.

🩵P.S. Before anyone takes this too seriously... this is satire. I'm not here to body shame or make anyone feel bad for having body hair. Hair is completely natural, and whether you wax, shave, trim, or rock it naturally is completely your choice. My clients just know I have a very out of pocket sense of humor.😂
