How a Love for Lashes and Passion for Hard Work Helped Amazing Lash Studio® Owner Elaina Wately Become a Successful Multi-Unit Franchisee

Elaina Watley is a multi-unit franchise owner of the Amazing Lash Studio® brand. Watley spoke with Black Enterprise on what it means to be a franchise owner with the leading lash extension brand and how she has been able to achieve success.

“When I started meeting with the Amazing Lash Studio team, I felt a real connection—they were incredible. I also really loved their marketing, they were on all the calls I asked them to be on, and they were very open with their financials. But what sealed it was how receptive they were to listening to everything I had to say,” said Watley to the publication.

When Watley first invested in Amazing Lash, the brand had 65 units open. Today, Amazing Lash has over 250 units nationwide.

Watley is currently operating five of those locations, but she owns a total of seven.

“I started with purchasing a license for one location in NJ but quickly regretted not buying multiple licenses at the start. My advice to people getting into a brick-and-mortar franchise business is to really think about your future plans. I knew I wanted to grow, and had I purchased additional licenses in the beginning, I would have been able to secure the surrounding territories to ensure I could grow where I wanted to,” she said.
