Chapter One: One Happy Family

The cold air of the night sends shivers down your spine, prompting you to wrap your coat around you tighter. Tonight was a slow day. Not much creeps out in the streets in search of a risqué night session.

The pandemic’s to blame. The virus was currently running rampant and people were frightened. You should’ve been, too. Instead, the need for money to survive fueled your intentions.

You were all you had. Your parents had long forgotten you after you’d told them you were going to school to become an esthetician and not a doctor like they were.

Big mistake. Not because you regret following your dreams but rather it was how your dreams led you to a man who would soon ruin your life.

He was your teacher. You didn’t take him seriously considering he was a beauty school teacher but that’s exactly the place for a womanizer to prey on a sea of women. The school had a strict no student-teacher policy so once your relationship was exposed. The decision ended with them immediately discarding your future there.

You believe your love would save you but he protected his job. With no other beauty schools in Hawkins, traveling being too expensive, and you being cut off from your parents; you had no choice but to make quick money.

You were introduced to prostitution working as a bartender one night by a woman who ran a business of sex workers. Figuring since it was a woman, you trusted her. Of course, now you realize basing your decisions in the hands of a person specifically because of their gender was also a big mistake.

Life wasn’t very glamorous like how it was with some of the girls you saw online, streaming their work from the comforts of their homes or studios. On the streets, you’d live in fear nearly everyday at the cost of passing money. Sure you get expensive bags and designer clothes but at what cost.

Leaning against the graffiti’d wall behind you, you pull out your phone to make a phone call. Your mother’s contact is the first thing you see. Your thumb hesitantly hangs over the call button. Just as you finally worked the courage to press the button, a car pulls up on the curb.

You hear a muffled “hello” through the speaker and quickly hang up, providing your attention to the car in front of you.

The man lowers his window. “Hello, young lady. What are you doing out here all alone?”

You put on a seductive smile as you sauntered over to him. “I was looking for a good time. Would that happen to be why you’re here, too?” You lean into his window, resting your elbow on the passenger door.

“Actually, I was looking for someone that would be the perfect fit for my family and—congratulations— you are that. And it doesn’t appear to me that anyone’ll be looking for you considering your profession.” He smiles.

“What?” You say, heart pounding. A cough in the backseat has your eyes following in its direction. There’s a young girl with her head shaven, looking back at you with pitiful eyes.

You attempt to run when your back collides with something—someone—behind you. Before you could turn to look, a rag is thrown over your mouth and nose, muffling your screams.

You fight and scratch all you could but you were getting weaker. Chloroform. You get one look at the sky above you and then all you could see is black.

—————

You hear chimes. The beautiful sound of chimes and it brings you back to a distant memory of your childhood. Suddenly, your in your mother’s arms, sitting on the porch as she rocks you along in her favorite chair. She’s telling you stories of great women in history: Joan of Arc, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth. The autumn breeze gently kisses your skin, pushing the chimes into making its music. You were so happy.

The chimes in the distance grew louder and louder until it was too hard to ignore and you’re jolted awake. Your eyes open to an unfamiliar setting. You were in a room of a log cabin home.

You attempted to sit up to check your surroundings when you noticed that your hands and feet were tied to the bed posts. You immediately began to thrash around and whine when your memories of what happened prior washed over you.

The door to the room opens, revealing a tall gray-haired man. Your captor. He looks down at you almost as if he’s sorry for you, sitting at the corner of the bed.

“Who the fuck are you?!” You scream. “Why am I here?”

“You can call me ‘Papa’. I’m your family now. And you’re here because…this is your home.”

You shook your head. “Are you fucking crazy? Let me go!”

“I can’t do that, my belle,” He says, leaning in to caress your face which causes you to quickly pull away. “Papa never abandons his loved ones. You’ll be happy here. You wouldn’t wish for a place anywhere from here once you get used to it. Especially once you meet your siblings. But before we do that…I have some rules. Just a few rules that everyone must follow or else…Papa will be very upset.”

“I don’t care for your rules,” You say through gritted teeth. “Let. Me. FUCKING. GO!”

“Rule 1…Absolutely no profanity of any sort under this roof. You’re new to our family. So I will let you off on a warning just this time. But now you know the rule so there are no excuses,” He smiles. “Rule 2: You must never step into Papa’s study unless you have permission from me and me only. Rule 3: Everyone must treat one another with respect. We are a loving family and we do not tolerate any fighting. Rule 4: Papa knows what’s best. Do as Papa says. Rule 5: No one goes outside unless Papa permits so. And finally Rule 6: No technology of any sort. Follow these simple rules and we’ll have a splendid time together. But break them…and you’ll be punished accordingly. Okay, belle?”

“My name isn’t belle. My name is Y/n and I want to go home!” You sob.

“You. ARE. Home.”

You thrash around again, cursing him and spitting. He lunges for your throat and squeezes. He was surprisingly strong for his tall, lanky frame. You can feel him crushing your windpipe enough for your to begin gasping out loud, wanting to claw at his hands but your wrists were bound.

“I told you the rules, belle,” He whispers darkly. “I can make this a very ugly experience for you. Trust me. I am going to let you go. But you must promise that you will be on your best behavior here on out. Do you understand?”

You nod frantically, eyes pleading. He squeezes even tighter one last time before he finally releases, causing you to rip away from him. You were coughing uncontrollably, tears pouring from your eyes.

“That’s a good girl. Now are you ready to meet your new siblings? I have a girl. She’s only 12 but she is very bright. She’s been needing a mother figure. And I have a boy, not much older than you. He’s never been around women his age. He might be a little shy at first,” He chuckles before clapping with excitement. “Oh, they’re so excited to meet you. They even practiced something to perform for you. I’ll call them in. Stay put.” He winks before exiting the room.

You resume your struggling, crying out. Was this supposed to be your life now? No. You needed to survive. Get out of this freak show. But how exactly were you supposed to that?

Papa enters the room with the little girl that was sat in the backseat. She, now, hid behind the man. There was also a tall young man with pale skin, neatly groomed blonde hair and white clothing. He bore an innocent smile that somehow felt sinister in its intentions. Neither of them looked alike. You assumed he must’ve kidnapped them, too.

“Belle, I’d like for you to meet my son, One.” Papa introduces.

One bows in his greeting to you. “Pleasure meeting you.”

He also speaks in that same polite and formal manner. Like he was a lot older than his age.

“And this little shy princess here is my daughter, Eleven.” Papa says, tugging her sleeve to bring her around in front of him. He rests his hands on her shoulders, lowering to whisper something to her.

“H-hi.” Eleven stutters.

“Don’t you two have something to show our new family member?” Papa asks, smiling brightly.

One and Eleven exchange looks before nodding. One whispers something to Eleven. Grabbing the glass of water from the bedside table, One holds it out on one palm as Eleven concentrates on it.

“As if this situation couldn’t get any weirder.” You thought to yourself.

You’ve spoken too soon. The glass begins to lift off his hand, floating in midair. It appears to be following the little girl’s movements as she turns over to you. The glass begins to float in your direction. It hovers over you, you staring at it in both awe and terror. It lowers and tips just near your mouth.

“How kind! Eleven is offering you some water,” Papa says. You just stare at the glass causing Papa to clear his throat impatiently. “It would be rude not to drink, belle.”

You reluctantly lift your head, eyes searching the room before your lips touch the glass and slurp a sip of the water. You didn’t realize how thirsty you were until the first drop hit your tongue. You eagerly drank until the glass suddenly fell from the air, spilling all over your abdomen and lap.

“Oh no! I’m sorry.” The girl says, lowering her head in shame.

“That’s quite alright, dear. You did amazing! Belle was sooo impressed. She isn’t angry at all. We’ll just get her cleaned right up.” Papa says, petting the girl’s head.

The girl looks up at the man and you notice her nose bleeding. Her eyes begin to blink rapidly and her legs give out. The older man catches her in time.

“You’ve used a lot of your energy for that. It shows how much you care for your new sister. Let’s clean you up for dinner. One…will you please help out with Belle? Get her into some of your clean clothes until I purchase some new clothing for her tomorrow.”

“Yes, Papa.” One nods.

The older man leaves and One stalks his way over to you with his hands out causing you to shift to the side to avoid any touching.

“Stay away from me.” You hiss.

He sighs. “Would you rather stay in those wet clothes? I’m sure it’s very cold against your skin.”

“Don’t touch me.”

“I’m only trying to help,” He groans, looking back to make sure no one hears. “You want to survive here, then you must comply. No back talk. No fighting. Simply follow the rules. Then, you won’t be tied up.”

You stare into his eyes not being able to read anything in them. What is his deal?

“Okay.” You give in.

“I’m going to untie one limb at a time to remove your clothing. Remember…no fighting.”

You nod. “Just don’t be pervy about it.”

He chuckles. “I can assure you. I am not that kind of guy.”

He unties your first arm, trying to pull your tank top over your head. It was then you remembered that you hadn’t worn a bra underneath.

“Wait!” You panic.

“What’s wrong?”

“I-I’m not wearing a bra.” You say, blushing.

“So?”

“So…my breasts will be on full display.”

“Were you not a sex worker? This should be nothing to you?”

You seethe. “First off, I am entitled to who is allowed to see my body. Secondly, I usually receive payment before showing them.”

“I promise you I will only do what was ordered of me and nothing more. You have my word. I should apologize for these circumstances, however. It does get better. Now may I resume?”

“Urgh, fine. Just make it quick.”

He removes one side of your shirt, sliding it down your other arm. Your freed nipples harden at the immediate contact with the air. You hoped he hadn’t noticed. Judging by his facial expressions, he seemed unbothered, simply going about the task as if it were a normal thing.

One makes his way to untie the other hand and remove your tank top completely off you. He goes into the drawer beside the bed for something for you to wear. You take this opportunity to sit up and quickly untie your legs. He spots this in the corner of his eyes, climbing on top of you and pinning your hands above your head.

“What did I say about fighting?” He threatens.

“Worth a shot.” You say.

It was a compromising position. Him, on top of your half naked body with your hands above your head. You were so familiar with this position through your work. Male clients loving to do it as a sign of dominance. It usually has an unsatisfying ending.

One’s warm breath ghosts the skin on your neck and it isn’t any help, only making you think more of the sinful deed. You cringe, shaking your thoughts.

“One! Dinner’s nearly finished. Please have Belle ready to join us.” Papa calls out.

“I’ll let go. Just please don’t do anything you’ll regret.”

“Okay, but let me undress on my own.”

“No. Once the shirt’s on, I’ll be tying your hands again.”

“What about dinner? Will I be tied up then, too?”

“Yes, only until Papa could trust you.”

You groan. “Let me, at least, undress on my own. Then, you could tie me up all ya want.”

Also, something I’ve said in compromising situations.

“Alright, don’t make me regret this or we’ll both be in trouble.” One says as he unties your feet.

You stand up, stretching. It felt like you’d been in that position forever. You weren’t sure how much time passed since you were taken but the concept of time seems to not be a thing around here.

They don’t even have technology. No cellphones, laptops, or tablets. This is hell.

You lower your drenched skirt along with the pantyhose. You were now only in a thong, you glance over your shoulder to see if One was watching. He’s averted his gaze. You must’ve imagined it but…there seemed to be a sizeable bulge growing between his legs. He notices you looking at him and quickly places a hand over it as a cover.

You smirk. ‘Not that kind of guy’. Yeah, right.

“Well, aren’t you going to hand me some clothes?”

“Y-yes,” He holds out an oversized white T-shirt. “I’m not sure I’ll have bottoms that will fit your…erm…bottom.”

Was that his way of letting me know that my ass is fat?

You bite your bottom lip to stifle a giggle.

“The shirt will fit you almost like a dress since you’re shorter than I.” One explains.

“I guess this will do,” You roll your eyes before pulling the shirt over your head and smoothing it on. “Let’s hope your Papa isn’t as much of a perv as you.”

“I-I am not.” He blushes.

—————

Dinner was as insufferable as it was awkward. The man who calls himself “Papa” would not stop talking about his discoveries at his job. Aside from your boredom, the others seemed to be enamored by the tales.

All you could think of was trying to loosen the knots on the rope. You were tied tightly to the dining room chair, having to be force fed by One. Every now and then, he’d give you the eye to remind you not to fight back. So, half-heartedly, you obliged taking in the mouthfuls of a casserole concoction you weren’t familiar with what exactly were the ingredients.

“Belle, are you enjoying your meal?” Papa smiles, taking another bite.

You look at One who gives you a subtle nod. “It’s good.” You simply say.

“I’m so glad! After dinner, we’re going to have family game night. It’ll be fun now that we can go in teams. It’ll be me and the little princess and you and One.”

“What game, Papa?” Eleven asks, excitedly.

“Scrabble! We could go on and practice some new vocabulary that you’ve learned, El.”

“Do we get a reward when we win?” One asks.

“You and your rewards,” Papa laughs. “Okay, I’ll entertain a wager. What would you like as your reward should you win?”

“To go outside.” He gives a small smile.

“Hmm, alright you can. But if I win…next movie night will be my pick. Deal?” Papa says, holding out his hand for One to shake.

“Deal.” They shake hands, firmly.

You are dumbfounded. That easily he’ll let you two go outside if you win. You’ll win with flying colors. Having doctors as parents, they knew a plethora of words and were certain to teach you them. Once you win, you can run outside and get far away from this godforsaken place.

Your smile’s wide.

“Oh, look, children. Belle looks so happy.”

Indeed, I am.

Becoming a certified lash tech is a rewarding career path that allows you to help clients feel beautiful while working in the ever-growing beauty industry. With the rise in popularity of eyelash extensions, the demand for skilled lash technicians has skyrocketed. If you're looking to turn your passion for beauty into a profession, here's a comprehensive guide on how to become a certified lash tech, with expert training options available at Sugar Lash Studio.

Step 1: Research State Requirements

Before you start your journey, it's essential to know the certification and licensing requirements in your region. In most areas, becoming a lash tech requires more than just passion; you’ll need formal education, training, and possibly a license. Depending on where you live, lash technicians may need to have a cosmetology or esthetician license before you can apply for certification. Researching state or local regulations will help you determine if you need any prior training or licenses before enrolling in a lash training course.

Step 2: Choose a Reputable Lash Training Program

Once you've established the prerequisites, the next step is to find a reputable lash training program. A well-rounded course will teach you the fundamentals of lash extension application, safety practices, lash design, and client care. Look for a program that not only offers comprehensive training but also issues a certificate upon completion, which is critical for becoming a certified lash tech.

Sugar Lash Studio is one of the industry leaders offering in-depth lash courses for both beginners and experienced beauty professionals. Their online lash training programs allow you to learn at your own pace with expert guidance. From classic to volume lashes, they cover all the essential skills needed to excel in the field.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Lash Training Program:

Accreditation: Ensure the course is accredited or recognized by industry authorities.

Curriculum: A strong program covers lash application techniques, hygiene, client safety, and aftercare instructions.

Hands-On Experience: Practical experience is crucial. Opt for a program that offers practice on live models.

Support and Resources: Ongoing support from instructors and access to educational resources are valuable assets.

Certification: Verify that the program issues a legitimate certification upon completion.

Step 3: Practice Your Skills

Practice is the key to mastering lash application. After completing your lash training program, take the time to hone your skills before working on clients. Many programs, like those offered by Sugar Lash Studio, provide students with practice materials, models, and mentorship, ensuring that you gain confidence and proficiency in lash techniques.

Areas to Focus on During Practice:

Lash Isolation: Separating individual lashes accurately is a fundamental skill that affects the quality of your work.

Application Speed: Improving your speed comes with time and practice. Be patient as you build your skillset.

Design Customization: Understanding different lash styles, lengths, and thicknesses will help you create tailored looks for your clients.

Client Communication: Practice your consultation skills to ensure you understand each client’s preferences and expectations.

Step 4: Get Certified

Once you've completed your training and feel confident in your skills, it’s time to obtain your certification. Certification proves that you’ve met the professional standards required to work as a lash tech. While certification requirements can vary depending on your location, attending an accredited program like the ones offered by Sugar Lash Studio will ensure that you receive proper credentials to work in the industry.

Upon receiving your certification, make sure to update your portfolio and highlight your new credentials. This will help build trust with prospective clients and employers.

Step 5: Build Your Portfolio

A strong portfolio is essential for attracting clients and securing a job at a salon. Start by taking high-quality before and after photos of your work on practice models.

At Sugar Lash Studio, their courses often guide students on how to take professional-quality photos of their work, ensuring that your portfolio looks polished and appealing.

Step 6: Find a Job or Start Your Own Lash Business

Once you're certified, you can either work at a salon or start your own lash business. Many lash techs choose to freelance, offering their services in beauty studios or even creating a home-based lash business. Consider the pros and cons of each option:

Working in a Salon: You’ll have access to an established client base and a stable income.

Freelancing or Starting a Business: You’ll enjoy more flexibility and creative control, but building a client base from scratch will take time.

If you choose to work independently, it’s crucial to invest in high-quality tools and products to ensure client satisfaction and safety. Sugar Lash Studio offers a range of professional lash products and kits that you can use to get started.

Step 7: Keep Learning and Stay Updated

The beauty industry is constantly evolving, and staying updated on the latest trends and techniques is essential for success. Consider taking advanced lash courses to expand your skillset or keep up with new industry practices.

Hi there! You are probably here because you want to start your lash business, and you don't know how. The good news is that starting an eyelash business is easy; the problem is making it work. However, there is an easy way to create a successful eyelash business. And that is with "personal branding." It takes more than a love for beauty to establish a lash business in 2022. Some groundwork needs to be done, such as research and marketing, identifying your target audience, creating unique content, and more. But let's start with the basics. What Is Personal Branding? Personal branding is the process of making a name for yourself or your business. It's how you show the world what your business stands for and why your target audience should choose you over your competition. Personal branding is more than just marketing yourself; it's also about you being your own marketer! It means standing up for yourself and your business so your customers will respect and trust you. Why Is it Important to Have a Personal Brand? In case you haven't noticed, the beauty world is fiercely competitive. And people's attention spans are getting shorter by the minute. It's more important now than ever to make a good impression. The best way to do this is by making a brand identity that is strong and easy to remember. Personal branding is important, but most business owners don't see it that way because they think it's a lot of extra work. But the truth is that if you want your lash business to be successful, you need to create a successful brand. People who know you and your business are more likely to trust you and buy more lash products from you. What Is an Eyelash Business? There are a lot of niches in the beauty business, but the eyelash business is particularly profitable. Grand View Research, Inc. says that by 2025, the global market for false eyelashes will be worth $1.6 billion. That's a lot of potential customers, don't you agree? In an eyelash business, a trained technician puts on eyelash extensions and does a list of things to make the lashes look nice. Like any other business, the eyelash business needs marketing, sales, customer service, and other tasks to make money. Before starting a lash business, you usually need: A cosmetologist or esthetician license from your state's cosmetology board An eyelash extension training certificate How to Create a Lash Brand 1. Create a Name for Your Business Naming your brand or business is the first step to creating a personal eyelash brand. So have you decided on what you are going to call your business? Every business needs a creative, one-of-a-kind name that customers will remember. Make sure to register the brand name to keep competitors from using it. Your business name is only one part of your brand, of course. Make a logo that shows your brand, what it stands for, and where it wants to go. You can look up the logos of the brands you admire to get inspiration. But remember that you must personalize the logo, name, and everything else about your lash brand. 2. Get the Required Training and Qualifications If you don't want to hire a lash artist, you need to become one yourself. Having a license shows your clients that you are professional and keeps your business in line with the law. Of course, each state and country has its own rules, so make sure to find out what you need to do in your area. To get an esthetician license in your area, you might have to take a series of classes, pass a test, or pay certain fees. 3. Create a Website If you want people who search online for lash services to find your business, you will need a website that looks professional. Getting your website right is important because it will be the first thing people see about your business. The good news is that it's easy and surprisingly cheap to make a website that looks professional. On your website, include the following pages: About Page Contact Page

Booking Page Services and Pricing Gallery Terms and Conditions Privacy Policy 4. Identify Your Target Audience Do you know what kind of people you want to reach? Maybe you know the age range of the people who come to you for eyelash extensions. You can get a clear picture of your ideal customer by breaking down the majority by gender, income, generation, age, location, and preferences. Once you know what your ideal customer likes and doesn't like, you can use custom marketing strategies to reach and sway them. You can also employ SEO experts to help you gain the right traffic. 5. Create Social Media Accounts Is there any easier and quicker way to gain brand recognition than through social media marketing? We don't think so! Social media is practically a gold mine if you know how to use it well for your lash brand. Did you know that out of the more than 7 billion people on Earth, 3.84 billion use social media? Social media marketing (SMM) can help lash artists spread their brand recognition and loyalty. It can help get more people to know about your brand and bring in new customers. A good SMM strategy helps you do more than just get your message across. You should fill your feed with "client-centric" posts. When it comes to lashes, clients care about themselves, their results, and their day-to-day life. Everything you post should be educative and inspiring, helping you connect with your followers. When your posts are interesting, useful, and relevant to your target audience, it keeps them wanting more. 6. Create and Post Unique Content Once your website is up, you need content that helps explain your brand's mission and vision. For your content strategy, you can make a calendar with the best blog topics and social media posts. Ensure you find and post relevant content that follows the current SEO strategies. Great, unique content puts you on the first page of search results, making you accessible to customers. 7. Research Your Competition Do you have any idea who your competition is? What other local businesses offer eyelash extensions and other lash services that your target market will also use? Know your competitors well. And pay attention to their services and how they market their businesses. How do they make money? Which products do they use? How can you make your lash brand better but personalized to you? Where are they failing? Remember that creating a lash brand requires a whole lot of research. 8. Research Your Products Now, you must do this. You must research the products your brand will use. You must also get acquainted with several lash extensions. After deciding on which products to use, then calculate their cost. Most of your startup capital will go to purchasing products and equipment. Consider the potential profit you will gain from everything you do and sell. And weigh the investments you want to put in. Tip: You must optimize your services to solve your customers' pain points. What do we mean? Market what can solve their problems. You can get an idea of the customer's pain point by reading reviews on Amazon, Target, Walmart, and online stores. After you figure out what products you'd be using, create a price list for your brand. Remember that a price list is a part of the necessary pages for your website. Pro-tip: Your main focus when starting should not be making a profit. Instead, it should be gaining recognition. Those high-end luxury brands did not start by selling at expensive rates. Deal quality products, yes, but not too expensive, especially when compared to your competition. 9. Register Your Brand You might have to undergo a long process to register the brand. It means putting everything about your business on paper, including its properties. One of those crucial properties is your trademark. It also means getting an intellectual property right for your logo so that another business like yours can't take it. So this step is one you want to be thorough with.

It's also important to remember that there are several steps to taking ownership of a trademark. First, your logo will get reviewed, which anyone can stop. But they can only do that if they can show that they were the first ones to use the trademark you made. This is another reason your brand, especially your logo, should differ from other businesses that do similar things. 10. Get a Business Card Lastly, a business card can help people know and remember your brand. You can give your business card to family members, friends, and customers. If your eyelash services are good, your customers will tell others about you. Sharing your business card gives customers a tangible way to talk about your business. Conclusion Can you see that starting your lash brand will take 100% of your energy, time, and attention? But with this guide, you can do well. And if you do this well, you can maximize the industry's market value. We hope that was a helpful read! Oh, and before you go, you should know that you won't just be buying lash extensions but lash glue and tools. Spoiler alert! Using the right lash glues is as important as using the right extensions. Here at Gollee Cosmetics, we sell all you'd need to get started. So, hurry and purchase from us today!
