WHO ARE WE?
About us.
LashBar™ was founded in 2016 by husband and wife duo, Joseph and Lina Mai. With their combined experiences, Lina designed and built out the first LashBar™ while Joseph worked on perfecting the operations and customer experience.
Creating a family-like environment was a priority for both Joseph and Lina as they built their business from both a customer perspective as well as an employee perspective. Soon after the first LashBar™ was established, other artists expressed interest in owning their own LashBar™ location, and in February of 2018, the couple decided to Franchise their company. They have since expanded to 12 Franchise locations with several more in the works.
