We had the good fortune of connecting with Mari Lashay and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mari, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind the success of my brand is God! Putting God first has continued to elevate my business! He has given me strength and kept me going on my slow days!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I create Lash Art. What sets my art from other Lash Artist is how I layer my sets and how I can create a wispy style and achieve a dark lash line. Also how I make my clients feel before and after being serviced! I’m most proud of my students! The ones who have took my class and kept going and now have a successful business. I got here today by just being consistent and considerate, treat people how I would want to be treated make people feel comfortable that’s how I’ve always retained my clients. I overcame challenges by praying and thinking things by being the mature one and not taking things so personal. I’ve learned to have patience. As a business owner having patience can go far , not being so reactive and being understanding. I want the world to know that no matter what life throws at you just keep going, to know that you even when you have nothing you have everything because your alive. My name is Mari and I’m a true hustler I make nothing into something I enhance beauty through Lashes !! Eyes by Mari

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would take her to Ponce city MARKET , bowlero and the SkyView or even Atlantic station.

I would take her to Juicy Crab or blu seafood , Trap City Cafe , and Busy Bees

There are so many things in Atlanta you can do I would also want us to take a pottery and rug making class.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to Thank God and my Mom. If it wasn’t for my mom believing in me I wouldn’t be here today and I will always cherish her for that.
