Amazing Lash Studio announces expansion plans

US-based eyelash extension provider Amazing Lash Studio has announced expansion plans for Washington, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.

The expansion is being led by regional developers Henry Kim and Stephen Vereb. Amazing Lash Studio has grown with 227 licenses across 25 states in three years.

Henry and Stephen were corporate business developers and started their entrepreneurship with Massage Envy in 2007. They soon received the Massage Envy Franchisee of the Year Award and Multi-Unit Franchisees of the Year Award for their business.

Currently, they are operating six Massage Envy clinics and in 2015, they founded the American Massage and Bodywork Institute (AMBI) for massage therapists.

Amazing Lash Studio's co-founder and chief executive officer Edward Le said: “We are on pace to be one of the fastest growing concepts this decade.

“Amazing Lash Studio is taking the beauty industry by storm for its ability to provide time-constrained women with beautiful, long-lasting, natural-looking eyelashes.”

Stephen said: “Like Massage Envy, this is a first-to-market concept, which provides a service that is convenient and affordable.

“It is ideal for the consumer, the stylist, and the franchise owner. We are thrilled to come in at the takeoff of this business.”

The first Amazing Lash Studio in Northern Virginia will open in January 2017 and will expand to 30 more in the next two to four years.
