Shayla at Lakeside Aesthetics

I don’t really have the right words to start this… mostly because I never saw it coming. But one word I do have is gratitude.

I am so incredibly thankful for every single thing this journey has brought into my life—even the hard days. Every moment has shaped me into who I am today, and I wouldn’t trade any of it.

I wasn’t quite sure how to fully express how I’m feeling, so I decided to share a piece of a vlog today. Crying on the internet how cringe of me, I know. It’s raw, it’s real, and it holds a lot of vulnerability—but it felt like the most honest way to put this into words.

One of the most special parts of this journey has been you. I’ve always valued being a safe space for my clients, and it’s truly been my favorite part of what I do. Getting to know each of you, hearing your stories, laughing, crying, growing together… it’s something I will carry with me forever.

I’ve built some of my closest friendships on that lash bed. We’ve shared life moments, supported each other through highs and lows, and created connections that go far beyond appointments. That means more to me than I could ever put into words.

I’ve always been someone who leads with intention and transparency, and I wanted to show up that same way here. This chapter has been such a meaningful one—and while it’s not easy to close, this past year has taught me that it’s okay to do so.

As much love as I have for what I do, I’m choosing to embrace what’s next with an open heart and a positive mindset.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for your support, your trust, your energy, and for being part of something that has meant so much to me.

I will never, ever take that for granted 🤍

With that being said, I will be officially closing my studio doors—trusting that this ending is making space for something new, something aligned, and something even more meaningful.

Thank you for everything 🫶🏼
