Wins, Wisdom & What’s Coming Next at WiNKED 💜

April Highlights & What We're Loving Right Now

At WiNKED, we’re all about the little wins that add up to big impact — and this week, we’re feeling especially grateful for all the momentum happening inside (and outside) our studio.

From fresh supplies and five-star reviews to major team milestones and future plans, here’s what’s lighting us up right now — plus, a deeper dive into something every lash lover needs to know.

🧴 Aftercare Kits Are (Almost) Back at WiNKED!

If you’ve been waiting for our lash aftercare kits to restock — good news! We’ve received a fresh batch of supplies and we’re currently rebuilding these bestsellers from the ground up.

These kits are designed with both new and seasoned clients in mind. Packed with everything you need to maintain healthy, fluffy lashes between fills — like a foaming lash cleanser, brush, and spoolies — they're curated by lash professionals who live and breathe retention.

They’re not quite ready yet, but they’ll be back within the next few weeks, and we’re offering them at a special price: $20 when you pre-book your next two fills (normally $40). Stay tuned — and in the meantime, keep cleansing, brushing, and avoiding those oil-based products. Your future lashes will thank you.

🌟 We See You (and Read Every Word)

If you’ve taken the time to leave us a review — THANK YOU. Seriously, your words don’t just help others find us… they remind us why we do what we do.

We’ve received some especially heartfelt feedback lately, and it’s been the kind of encouragement that carries us through long days and big goals. Haven’t shared your thoughts yet? We’d love to hear them.

🖋 Help Us Grow the Dream Team

We’re on the hunt for one talented PMU artist to join our growing crew — and we may be looking to bring on an additional lash artist, too.

If you (or someone you know) is experienced, professional, passionate about the beauty industry, and looking for a positive, supportive space to thrive in — send them our way. We’re building something special here, and we want teammates who match the vibe.

🎉 90 Days of Erica: A Cheers-Worthy Milestone

This month, we’re celebrating Erica’s 90-day mark with the WiNKED team — and wow, what a start it’s been.

From learning our systems and client flow to jumping into our studio culture with heart and hustle, she’s been showing up and standing out. Cheers to her journey so far and everything ahead — we’re lucky to have her.

🎁 Loyalty Cards = Love

It happened again… we ran out of loyalty cards. Why? Because you’re out here showing up consistently for your fills (and we love that for you). Don’t worry — more are on the way!

In case you’re new here: every 5 fills = $10 off your next visit. It’s our little way of saying thank you for your loyalty — and your lashes.

☕️ May Team Meeting = Fresh Ideas Brewing

This Friday, we’re kicking off the month with our May team meeting at Aspire Coffee — a space we love for dreaming, planning, and connecting.

We’ll be diving into Mother’s Day ideas, discussing how we can continue to level up the client experience, and checking in on what’s working (and what we can do better). It’s one of our favorite rituals — and it always leads to something good.

💡 DEEP DIVE: Why Lash Aftercare Isn’t Optional

Lash extensions do make your beauty routine easier, but they’re not totally hands-off. A little daily care goes a long way — and skipping aftercare can cost you in retention, lash health, and the overall look.

Here’s why it matters:

🧼 Your lashes need a daily cleanse. Oils, dirt, makeup, and sweat all affect retention — and without daily cleansing, you're basically shortening the life of your set.

🔍 Dirty lashes = big problems. Think irritation, inflammation, or worse… lash mites. Yep. They’re real, and they thrive in buildup. Clean lashes are healthy lashes.

🎯 The right tools = better results. Drugstore cleansers and DIY brushes aren’t cutting it. That’s why we created our own kits, filled with what works. Professional lashes deserve professional tools.

Think of it like skincare: you wouldn’t spend good money on a facial and skip washing your face, right? Lash care is no different — it’s a daily commitment to keeping your set looking flawless and lasting longer.
