Welcome to the S.H.E. Academy

Hello Loves!!

Are you ready to change your life or level up your lash game? Turn your side hustle into a six figure business? Create a life with freedom and authenticity? Build your own business? Work around your life instead of live around your job?

I thought you might…

Taking a course at S.H.E. is an opportunity to change your life forever. I know, because lashing has changed mine and the lives of my peers.

My name is Kaitlyn Francisco. I am the owner of S.H.E. Salon & Academy, located in Rochester NY. I have been a lash artist for 11 years, salon owner and lash educator for 5 years. I am a certified lash extension educator through the National Association of Lash Artistry. Our course curriculum has been accredited by the National Association of Lash Artistry since 2019. S.H.E. is one of the only two lash academies in the USA to obtain this recognition. I like to consider myself a “freedom and success coach” as I teach other lash artists how to build their business from the ground up. My courses include classic, hybrid, soft volume and mega volume styles. As well as self development, personal branding, money management, clientele building and social media marketing. My goal is to inspire and help build as many successful lash artists as possible. To me being a leader, means building many more leaders. I hope to help build a beautiful community for lash artists.

Attending a course that is NALA accredited can give you the confidence that this program is the BEST it can possibly be for students. Accreditation is the tool used to monitor, assess and evaluate the quality of education a student receives at a lash training facility. Accredited programs are held to a higher standard. As a NALA certified educator, Kaitlyn has studied all 7 learning styles that differ from person to person. Our courses are taught involving every learning style, so that there is something that benefits every individual! You can leave feeling proud that you will be properly prepared for a successful career in the lash industry.
