The Lash Cyst That Changed Everything (with Kristen Oakley)Update: 2025-07-01
Description
We’re going there: chalazion cysts, cluster lash horror stories, medical anxiety, beauty boundaries, and the etiquette of tipping your lash artist. In this unfiltered, wildly honest episode, Erika and Marcella sit down with lash artist and Luminous OG Kristen Oakley to unpack the painful lash cyst that left her seeing the beauty world in a whole new way.
From her pregnancy journey to lash regrets, awkward compliments at the bagel shop, and the emotional toll of sitting in a medical chair, Kristen shares it all...eyeball scissors and all. Plus, we dive into the emotional (and sometimes awkward) relationship between clients and service providers, why it’s okay to speak up when you’re not happy with a beauty service, and whether tipping really matters.
This episode is hilarious, heartfelt, and a must-listen for beauty lovers, clients, and pros alike.
