The Lash Lounge

Acquisition in 2024
The Lash Lounge operates as a beauty salon franchise that specializes in semi-permanent eyelash extensions. This small business concept was created by CEO and Founder, Anna Phillips, and was the result of her passion for helping women feel better about themselves and wanting to offer the same business opportunity to others. Before delving into the beauty industry, Anna worked in Corporate America and realized early that her entrepreneur spirit needed to be set free. Having numerous positions under her belt including being one of the first three massage therapist hired at Google, Anna ventured out on her own to create something that was unheard of at the time, a beauty salon that focused mainly on eyelash extensions. The first Lash Lounge salon opened in 2006 and quickly grew into three locations in 2 short years. The Lash Lounge went on to pioneer this new express service niche in the franchising world in 2009 and has gained a nation-wide reputation as the best in the business.
