She shares what it was really like navigating that time in her life, including the challenges she faced and how it shaped the person she is today… plus, the surreal moment she got to be an extra in Harry Potter and step inside Hogwarts 🤯 We then move into her journey into the beauty industry, where she found her true passion in lash lifts. Samira opens up about why she fell so deeply in love with the treatment, how she built a fully booked diary around it, and the challenges she had to overcome along the way. She also shares a moment where she decided to go back into employment.. only to leave after 3 days 🤭 A real, honest reminder that the grass isn’t always greener. But the heart of this episode is something much deeper. Samira bravely opens up about her diagnosis of an AVM, the symptoms she experienced while still working, and the reality of undergoing brain surgery. She shares what happened during the procedure, including experiencing a series of mini strokes, and speaks honestly about the mental and physical impact it has had on her life and recovery. This conversation is a real eye opener - a reminder that we often don’t think about our health until something forces us to, and how important it is to have things in place in our businesses and lives for the unexpected. We also touch on AI, future plans, upcoming courses, and what Samira’s goals look like moving forward. This episode is raw, honest, and incredibly inspiring.

Lash Competitions Changed My Life

Send us a message ✨ [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2568134/fan_mail/new] Lash competitions didn't change my life because of the trophies. They changed my life because they gave me visibility.

Shop Lash Oasis: https://lashoasis.co.uk/ [https://lashoasis.co.uk/] In this episode, I'm sharing how entering my very first lash competition completely changed the direction of my career. Growing up and running my business from a tiny village in Essex, I genuinely believed nobody would ever know who I was. Competitions gave me the confidence, feedback and opportunities that helped me build a reputation, become fully booked and eventually create the career I have today. In this episode we talk about: ✨ Why visibility matters more than awards ✨ The feedback that transformed my lash work forever ✨ How competitions helped me build my reputation ✨ Why you have to get comfortable with losing ✨ How to choose competitions that are actually worth entering ✨ Why I'm stepping back into the competition arena this year If you've ever wondered whether competitions are worth entering, or you've been waiting for the confidence to put yourself out there, I hope this episode gives you the push you need.

The People Who Win In Business Think Differently | Olivia Chinnock

Send us a message ✨ [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2568134/fan_mail/new] This week on Beyond The Tweezers, I’m joined by brow artist, educator and semi-permanent makeup artist Olivia Chinnock, who has recently opened her very own salon in Chelmsford after years of building a fully booked business and a recognisable personal brand.

Shop Lash Oasis: https://lashoasis.co.uk/ [https://lashoasis.co.uk/] What really stood out to me in this conversation was Olivia’s mindset. She genuinely believes that the people who succeed in business think differently, and that confidence comes from showing up, backing yourself and believing that good things are possible. We talk about her journey from working on the Benefit counter in John Lewis, getting fired from her job, and how that ended up being the best thing that could have happened to her. We also dive into manifestation, mindset, becoming your own biggest cheerleader and why showing up consistently online has played such a huge role in building her business. Olivia shares how she created a brand that people instantly recognise, the importance of personal branding within the beauty industry, and why so many artists are holding themselves back by not putting themselves out there. We also discuss opening her brand-new salon in Chelmsford, building a one-stop beauty destination, and the reality of losing £400 to a scam on her very first day. If you've ever struggled with confidence, doubted yourself, or wondered how some people seem to keep achieving bigger and bigger things, this episode is for you.

Stylist to Educator: The Mindset Shift

Send us a message ✨ [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2568134/fan_mail/new] Becoming an educator sounds exciting - creating courses, teaching students and sharing your knowledge with others. But what nobody really talks about is the transition itself. In this episode, I share my personal journey from stylist to educator, from attracting clients to teaching students, and the mindset shifts I had to make along the way. I open up about: ✨ Feeling like a beginner all over again ✨ The imposter syndrome I experienced as a new educator ✨ Why teaching felt more stressful than working with clients ✨ Changing my content from attracting clients to attracting students ✨ Finding my ideal student and building trust ✨ Why perfection doesn't exist in education ✨ The lessons my students have taught me over the years If you're a lash artist thinking about becoming an educator, currently teaching, or feeling stuck between clients and students, this episode is for you.

Are We Chasing The Wrong Version Of Success? | Loredana Irimia

Send us a message ✨ [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2568134/fan_mail/new] What does success actually look like? In this episode of Beyond The Tweezers, I'm joined by the incredible Loredana Irimia - educator, salon owner, speaker and mentor - for a conversation that completely challenged the way I think about our industry and what we are doing it for.

Shop Lash Oasis: https://lashoasis.co.uk/ [https://lashoasis.co.uk/] We talk about moving from Romania to the UK, building a business from scratch, opening salons, speaking on international stages and becoming a recognised educator. But we also talk about the side people don't always see. The pressure to look successful. The need for validation. Building things from a place of ego. And realising that what you thought would make you happy isn't always what fulfils you. This conversation goes far beyond lashes. We dive into authenticity, personal branding, social media, recognition, business mistakes, therapy, confidence and the importance of building a business that actually supports the life you want to live. If you've ever found yourself wondering whether you're chasing the right goals, this episode is for you. I absolutely loved this conversation and I know you're going to take so much from it.
