Kailee balances school all while keeping track of scheduling her clients and managing her social media. Originally she was looking for a way to make money since she wasn’t allowed to have a job, she took things into her own hands and took charge, she loved the confidence her clients gained after getting their lashes done as she felt like she had a true impact.
