How to Fill Your Books as a New Lash Tech in 2025

Starting your journey as a lash artist is exciting—but booking consistent clients can feel overwhelming at first. Whether you just graduated from a lash certification program or you’re moving into your own space, these proven strategies will help you build a full calendar (and a waitlist) faster than you think.

Learn how to fill your schedule with loyal clients using modern marketing, referrals, and salon strategy tips from SALX.

1. Treat Every Client Like They’re A Model

Your first 5–10 clients are more important than you think. Why? Because they’ll become your walking testimonials. Make sure every appointment feels personalized, professional, and picture-perfect.

Tips:

• Make sure you pre-book fills

• Send post-care follow-up texts

• Offer referral rewards (“$10 off for you and your friend”)

• Take flattering before/after photos (with permission)
  

2. Use Instagram as Your Portfolio

Instagram isn’t optional—it’s your visual resume. New clients scroll your feed before they book, so:

• Post clean, natural lighting photos of your lash work

• Use local hashtags like #sanantoniolashes, #satxbeauty

• Share client results, quick tips, and behind-the-scenes content

💡 Bonus: Pin your best 3 results as Highlights or Top Posts

3. Build Your Local Presence with Google & Yelp

Clients often search for lash extensions. If you’re not listed, you’re not visible.

• Create a Google Business Profile

• Ask every happy client to leave a review

• Get on Yelp and respond to every inquiry professionally

SALX renters are trained on exactly how to set this up—we don’t just give you space, we give you strategy.

4. Run a Simple Launch Promo

If you’re new, give people a reason to try you:

• $20 off first full set

• Free lash bath with every service this month

• Bring a friend, both get 15% off

Promote it on IG stories, and your booking link.

5. Surround Yourself with Support

The best way to grow faster is to not do it alone.

At SALX, our booth renters aren’t just leasing a space—we mentor them on marketing, branding, and client retention. If you’re ready to take your business seriously, we’re ready to help you scale it.
