Before joining the Amazing Lash Studio brand, she worked in cosmetology and owned salons. However, it was a vacation that introduced her to the brand. While in Florida, Grubb exited a spa and spotted an Amazing Lash Studio location — and decided to try it out. When she looked in the mirror at her lash extensions after her service, she started crying "happy tears," and immediately went to the front desk to learn more about the brand. Her niece, Andrea Morris, was also interested in the business opportunity. "About a year and a half ago, Angel came to me and said that she had an incredible experience at an Amazing Lash Studio location while she was on vacation. We had been talking for years about doing something together, but at first, I thought there was no way I was leaving my job," said Morris. - Morris had the same type of experience after visiting an Amazing Lash Studio location. - Once she met with the Support Center team, she fell in love with the concept. - Morris and Grubb signed on to open three Amazing Lash Studio locations in their hometown of Des Moines, Iowa. The first of those locations opened up nearly six months ago, right before the COVID-19 crisis began. However, the pandemic has forced them to temporarily close their locations, creating some unexpected challenges. Both Grubb and Morris are grateful that they partnered with a strong franchise system. "The Amazing Lash Studio brand is really nice to work with, especially throughout the COVID-19 crisis," said Morris. "I was on a call with the CEO of Amazing Lash Franchise the other day — when I was a teacher, I wasn’t on regular calls with our superintendent." - The level of support that the brand offers is unmatched. - Being a franchisee with the brand also empowers Morris to be a leader within the franchise itself. Throughout the crisis, Grubb and Morris have been relying on the support that the Amazing Lash Studio brand brings to the table. They say that the guidance they’re receiving now is helping them prepare to reopen on the other side of the pandemic. "I just completed one of the online classes that WellBiz Brands Inc. has made available to us," said Grubb. "The Amazing Lash Studio franchise has just been wonderful to work with." - The Amazing Lash Studio team has been so helpful. - Most business owners are on their own through this situation. - The Amazing Lash Studio brand has given them a 40-page playbook that breaks down, step-by-step, exactly what they needed to do in order to prepare for reopening. ## Entities - 1851 Franchise (publication) - Beauty & Wellness (sector) - franchisee support (topic) - beauty and wellness (topic) - franchise system (topic) - Amazing Lash Studio (company) - WellBiz Brands (company) - covid-19 crisis (topic) - Des Moines, Iowa (location) - business reopening (topic) --- Originally reported by 1851 Franchise (https://1851franchise.com/aunt-and-niece-franchisee-team-navigate-the-current-situation-with-the-help-of-the-amazing-lash-studio-brand-2713407).
