Aileen is the founder of Legacy Lash Artistry, a company devoted to providing professional eyelash services as well as education and training for newcomers to this lucrative and fulfilling profession.
Before becoming an entrepreneur in the aesthetic industry, Aileen led a successful career in nursing care coordination. During these formative years, she developed skills in time management, communication and inter-professional cooperation. Most importantly, however, she developed compassion and a keen sensitivity to the emotional needs of patients.
These emotional needs—to be validated, understood and loved—where often overlooked in the bustle of the hospital ward. Physical maladies where almost the exclusive focus of hospital care. Aileen wanted to offer more. She wanted to see people not only relieved of pain and illness but to assume an aura of confidence, vivacity and enthusiasm for life!
In other words, Aileen wanted to see the transformation of the self—and that’s precisely the mission of aesthetic care professionals.
With this mission in mind, Aileen founded Legacy Lash Artistry in the winter of 2013. Since then, Aileen has serviced thousands of clients and trained many budding aesthetic care professionals in her Eyelash Extensions Niagara Academy.
Given her entrepreneurial spirit, the depth and breadth of her experience, and her unwavering commitment to excellence, professionalism, and the health and wellbeing of her clients, it’s not surprising that she’s often invited as a guest speaker to colleges and industry organizations to share her story and expertise.
When she’s not plucking brows and applying lashes, Aileen spends quality time with her four children, whether it be playing co-operative mode on the Nintendo Switch, helping them with their homework assignments, or teaching them empathy, entrepreneurship and other important life skills.
