✨ Lash Model Call ✨

2–3 models are needed to participate in an advanced hands-on lash training at Simplifying Beauty.

This is a great opportunity to receive a full set of customized lash extensions while supporting continued education and skill development in the beauty industry.

These appointments will be part of a training environment, so please plan for a longer appointment time and a more detailed, coached experience.

Model Appointment Times:
• Wednesday, May 6 → arrive at 1:15 PM
• Wednesday, May 13 → arrive at 12:15 PM

If you’re interested, please text the salon at 618-726-7054 with:
• Your name
• Your email address

We’ll reach out to confirm model availability and next steps.

Spots are limited and will be filled based on best fit for the training.

This wet set definitely leans a little more dramatic than what I typically create… but it still needed to fit her features and not take over her face.

The goal was more definition, darker lash lines, and a look that still felt balanced on her eyes.

This weekend I stepped into the Lash Battle at the in Austin, TX.

While I didn’t place this year... this experience was still incredibly meaningful because this was my very first lash battle competition.

Walking into a room filled with talented artists from across the industry pushed me far outside my comfort zone. It challenged me creatively, mentally, and professionally... and honestly, I’m proud that I showed up and did it anyway.

At Simplifying Beauty, I deeply believe that growth comes from continuing to learn, refine your craft, and challenge yourself even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed.

This experience reminded me that sometimes the biggest win is simply being willing to step into the arena.

Showing up matters.
Growth matters.
Courage matters.

I’m leaving this weekend inspired, grateful, and even more motivated to continue growing as an artist and bringing that growth back to the clients I serve every day.

Thank you to everyone who supported, encouraged, and cheered me on throughout this experience. It truly meant so much. 🩷

I finally jumped on the AI holiday trend… and honestly, it was too fun not to share 🤣✨

If the season wants peppermint glam, festive trees, and a little sparkle, I’m here for it.

I hope you’re easing into the holidays — the celebrations, the self-care, and a reason to feel amazing without guilt.

Ready or not… it’s officially peppermint-season! 🎄💖
Are you already in holiday mode, or still warming up?

✨ Another 5-Star Glow Up! ✨

I absolutely love when clients share their experience, especially when it’s their first spray tan.

Here’s what she had to say:

“I had my first ever spray tan with Kimberly and it was perfect! I was nervous I would look fake and mess up the process but I can assure you she makes it easy and makes you look fabulous!! I need another excuse for a spray tan!! Thank you!”

If you’ve ever been curious about getting a spray tan but felt unsure, this is your sign. At Simplifying Beauty every tan is custom-blended to your undertones so you look naturally radiant… never orange, never overdone… just glowing and confident.
