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

Hi Lanae, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
So my business is a custom strip lash company. I came up with it when I decided to get individual lashes one day but through wearing individual lashes I did not like wearing them to sleep because wearing lashes to sleep bothers my eyes. In addition if you don’t go to an experienced lash tech you can have complications such as your eyes burning and your individual lashes shedding. I have experienced both and their were not pleasant experiences in addition getting individual lash extensions can be very pricey. So i decided to look into creating my own custom strip lashes that gave the look that individual lashes give but without the longevity of having to keep them on for a period of time. And I thought I would create it into a business for other girlies like me because not everyone can afford individual lash extensions nor to some people like sleeping with lashes in like myself.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I would say I got to the place I am today professionally through my business friends. For me it has been easy because I am always receptive to constructive criticism and I am always looking for ways to better my self and business. I would say the most important lesson I have learned is to stay consistent no matter what and stay true to yourself.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Some of my favorite spots in the city is definitely Metro Diner. It is a fun place that has good food and karaoke at night. I also love skating at Cascade and Stone Mountain Skates. I have been skating for 2 years and I am addicted to it and it’s a super fun activity for me. Another hangout spot I like to go to is Roswell Falls it is so beautiful there and if you like nature it’s definitely a sight to see for sure.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to thank my bestfriend Sienna. She has definitely encouraged me and aspired me to be best person I can be. In addition to giving advice to assist me in my business journey and encouraging me to push and be consistent.
