Meet the Organizer

Shelby Tarleton is a salon owner and academy owner in Austin, Texas who hosts Lash Boss Radio, one of the lash industry's very first podcasts! With over 15 years of experience as a lash artist, she has earned her invitations to speak at various beauty conferences, and judge lash championships. Shelby wanted to bring her own spin to the lash world by hosting Lash Boss Summit Lash Boss Retreats. 

 

With her entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering commitment to the beauty industry, Shelby Tarleton is undoubtedly a leading voice in the lash industry.

Lash Boss Summit is hands down the best way to network and connect with fellow lash artists who share the same passion! I’ve made so many lifelong connections just by surrounding myself with like-minded professionals. The education offered is incredible, with actionable steps that I can instantly apply to my business. Plus, getting to try out new lash products in person beats ordering online and hoping for the best! I make sure to block out time for Lash Boss Summit every year, Shelby truly knows how to put on a great event. And let's not forget, hanging out in Austin, Texas, is always a bonus!

Attending the Lash Boss Summit was an incredible experience! It allowed me the opportunity to learn from some of the top influential artists in the lash industry, gaining invaluable insights and techniques to improve my craft. The staff was warm and welcoming at check in and helped answer any questions I had. The atmosphere was inspiring and motivating, with every session packed full of tips, tricks, and knowledge. The bar hop night was the perfect addition, offering a fun and relaxed environment to network and build relationships with fellow lash artists. It was a wonderful balance of education and connection, making the event truly unforgettable! Shelby is very methodical and detail oriented in how she planned and organized this event along with all the additional details. I genuinely can’t wait to return next year!

Lash Artistry

Lash boss summit is an event I look forward to every year. I’ve been the past 2 years as a speaker and as an attendee and both experiences were equally as amazing. Events with large crowds can be overwhelming for me and what I love about this event is that it’s not overwhelmingly large but not so small that I’m left feeling wanting more. It’s so well organized and has a great mix of speakers that touch on topics from business to artistry. I’ve learned so much from attending this event and I can’t wait to go again next year!

Lash Boss Summit is more than a springtime beauty conference, it is THE lash event that changes lives and where impactful collaborations are born! My absolute favorite people, coming together every year to share their experiences and knowledge to help the industry grow. I’ve spoken at several different conventions and expos around the country, small and big but none have had the same impact on my career as LBS.
