WOW! What an amazing night at the Australian Beauty Industry Awards! I am still in shock! 😱(Watch my ABIA story highlights for a sneak peek at the action 👀)
.
So, after entering our first ABIA’s we were lucky enough to get the email saying that lashjoy_ had been selected as a finalist in a total of 3 categories! Yayyy! 🎉
.
But if I’m completely honest, I didn’t really think we had much of a chance of winning after seeing who we were up against! 🤣 Some seriously successful and inspiring businesses to say the least! 🔥
.
It was only last week that we finally booked our flights and tickets to the Awards Gala, still thinking we probably won’t win anything but it would be a “good experience” to go anyway. 🤗
.
Well, to my complete surprise... LashJoy was announced the WINNER in not one, but TWO of the 3 categories we were nominated in! 👏🏻👏🏻 O M G !!! 😱
.
“Best Business Performance of the Year” - LashJoy
.
“Educational Organisation of the Year” - LashJoy Academy
.
To me, winning these two big awards is the ultimate recognition for how hard my team and I work, and our ability to stay focused on what matters most in business.. our amazing customers and students! 🙌🏼
.
The scary thing is, we know we’re just getting started! We still have sooooo much room for growth and so many new ideas for how we can take things to the next level for our industry. 😬📈
.
I also want to acknowledge and congratulate ALL of the category winners and finalists! There were SO many hard working, talented beauty professionals in attendance, so many uplifting stories shared, and I honestly left feeling inspired and empowered by all of you! ☺️
.
Thank you to #mochapublishing for the opportunity and for putting on the best run awards gala I’ve ever been to! 👏🏻👏🏻
.
Lastly, a massive thank you to all of our customers, students, followers, fans, YouTube subscribers and everyone who supports lashjoy_ ! This is truly a super proud moment for us and it’s all been made possible by YOU! Thank you! 🙏🏻
