Emerging Beauty Franchise Announces Substantial Multi-Unit Deal, Ignites Their Fast-Paced Expansion Across the U.S.

MIAMI, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LashKind, an innovative brow and lash franchise concept, has announced a two-unit agreement for Miami, FL, putting the brand on a positive growth trajectory following its recent launch. The first site will be at 360 San Lorenzo Ave, Unit 1535 in Coral Gables, inside an existing Blo Blow Dry Bar and is slated to open by Q1 2024, with site selection for the second location currently underway.

LashKind is an innovative brow and lash franchise concept with a mission to make guests feel beautiful in a fun environment with high quality products.

The emerging franchise is grounded in the success of Canadian-based MYNC Beauty Inc., which was acquired by the original blow dry bar franchise Blo Blow Dry Bar in October 2022.

Trailblazing LashKind's expansion is husband-wife duo Jose Molina and Paula Rodriguez, both of whom have vast business experience in management and operations. The pair originally began their franchise journey with Blo Blow Dry Bar, owning five bars across Texas and Florida which are among the top performers in the system. Now, the couple is excited to bring their customer-first mindset and passion for the industry to LashKind.

"Joining LashKind was an easy decision after the success we've seen within our Blo Blow Dry Bar locations, largely due to the strong business model and corporate support team," said Paula. "The Miami market is vibrant and the perfect place to bring LashKind. We've always prioritized the experience our guests receive, making personal connections with many – that is what keeps them coming back. We are excited to continue this within our LashKind locations and confident we're set up for success with a proven franchise business."

Being a long-time beauty fan, Paula saw the value Blo Blow Dry Bar had within her community, and how guests were transformed each time they set foot in her locations. With a high demand for lash and brow services in the Miami market, Paula was inspired to deliver exactly what people are looking for.

"The launch of LashKind is off to an exciting start, and we look forward to growing with aspiring and existing entrepreneurs looking to stake their claim in this booming industry," said Vanessa Yakobson, CEO of Blo Blow Dry Bar and LashKind. "Having successful Blo Blow Dry Bar franchisees expand their portfolios with our new brand is a testament to the strength of our business. With Jose and Paula's determination and success of their Blo Blow Dry Bars, there is no doubt that LashKind Miami is in great hands."

With the beauty industry valued at more than $571B and the lash industry projected to double its $1.36B value over the next decade, it is an opportune time to join LashKind. An added asset for franchisees, LashKind has multiple revenue streams with a number of services including: lash extensions; lash lifts; lash tints; brow and full-face waxing; brow and full-face threading; brow lamination; and brow tints. There will also be retail products to help extend the life of each service, a robust membership program to drive predictable, recurring revenue, and gift cards.

LashKind is a collective of beauty lovers – who also know that beauty means business. Its mission is to make guests look and feel beautiful by providing fun and fabulous bar environments, expertly delivered services and high-quality products, while helping ensure their natural lashes and brows remain healthy.

LashKind is currently seeking aspiring and experienced entrepreneurs to stake their claim in this exploding sector. For more information about the franchise opportunity, visit lashkindfranchise.com/contact-us.
