55. 🧵 Self-Taught & Thriving: How Threading Changed Her Life

In this episode Megs sits down with Ashley Collins of @beautymarks_ink—salon owner, threading specialist, and former licensed veterinary technician—to unpack the craft (and business) of brow threading. Ashley shares how she taught herself hand-tied threading when quality education didn’t exist, why threading can rival waxing for speed and revenue, and the client-experience details that make people feel genuinely cared for. We also get into navigating licensing in Kentucky, pricing with confidence, being the specialist in a small market, and the resilience it takes to bounce back from industry drama. If you’ve wondered whether threading is worth learning—or how to make it a core part of your brand—this one’s for you.Whether you’re an esthetician, educator, or artist carving your own path, Ashley’s story is proof that self-taught doesn’t mean small—it means unstoppable.💛 Thank you to our sponsor, Megs of Browducation! ✨Learn the art of Hand-Tied Threading, Megs’ signature course designed to help artists refine their technique, master precision and tension, and elevate client results. 🌿💻 Links@beautymarks_inkwww.beautymarks-ink.comFollow the pod and Megs, your host, for updates 👇IG: @browducation @the.eyebrow.goddessTikTok: @the.eyebrow.goddess🌐 www.theeyebrowgoddess.com💛 Subscribe for new episodes every Thursday!👍 Like, comment, and share to help more artists find Browducation 🌸
