This is Shana and Mike Jones. We are the owners of Oliver Lash. Our heart is to share with you our uphill battle in the slash industry. And to give you guys a real raw version of what things are really like. Yes, what things really like. In today's episode, we're going to be talking about the truth about lash adhesive. Yeah. This is going to be a very strong topic. Yeah. Yeah. Because Shauna said so. It's like Stone Cold. And that's the bottom line because Shauna said so. Oh my gosh. Okay.
