Shop Lash Oasis: https://lashoasis.co.uk/ As a child, Nina dreamed of becoming a barrister so she could "put bad people away" after witnessing her mum being fatally attacked. She opens up about how that experience affected her growing up, the challenges she faced in later life, and how domestic abuse and mental health struggles could have easily defined her story...but didn't. Instead, she chose to keep moving forward. From working as a nightclub bouncer while building her beauty career, to owning a salon, launching successful brands and organising one of the beauty industry's lash & business events, Nina's journey is anything but ordinary. We talk about the reality of building businesses whilst carrying personal trauma, owning a salon, managing difficult staff, dealing with theft within the business, and the lessons that completely changed the way she now approaches business. Nina also shares the incredible story behind Lustre Lash - a brand born from helping a client going through cancer treatment who simply wanted to feel like herself again. From creating magnetic strip lashes to later developing products for men experiencing hair loss, her passion for finding solutions shines throughout this conversation. We also dive into buying Lashphoria, running Lash Connect, creating industry events, building brands, the realities of white labelling, the financial challenges behind launching products, and why personal branding is often the most overlooked part of building a successful business. This episode is heartbreaking, inspiring and incredibly honest. It's a reminder that our past may shape us, but it doesn't have to define where we're going.
