THE LUSHLASH TEAM
Emma Smith
Owner
Bio
I am the Owner and Director of the Lushlash Hair & Beauty Salon, Lushlash Training Academy and the LL Lashes product line. I have been doing lash extensions since 2015 and have been a qualified teacher since 2017. I began lashing as I wanted a career that would work around my two small children. It did exactly that and it was the best decision I have ever made. I practised every single day for hours a day until I could perfect my skills. I love nothing more than taking my time making perfect fans and creating a mega volume full set with full coverage. My passion above all is teaching and sharing my knowledge with the hundreds of students I have the privilege of teaching on a weekly basis. I can honestly say I love every bit of what I do and if this is work…I am living the dream!
Lisa Fitch
CEO / Director
Bio
I joined the team back in 2018. I work mostly behind the scenes the bulk of the time on business development for the salons, training & products. This includes marketing and social media. I enjoy putting together exciting new courses and course materials and speaking to our students. The product line is growing by the day and I am fully invested from the making of the product to the packaging. In 2019 we opened up a salon over in Halstead and I became a company Director. In 2022 I decided it was time to get hands on and have since qualified in various lash and brow treatments. In 2022 I became a Laser Aesthetician and Lushlaser & Skin was born.
I can quite genuinely say I love my job, I love the balance being in the beauty industry has created for me and so many other working mums I have the pleasure of speaking to. It has allowed me the opportunity to take care of my children and work at the same time and for that I am grateful.
Master Lash Artist
Bio
I have been a Lash Artist since 2017 and this has by far been my best ever job choice. I trained with the Lushlash Training Academy and never looked back. I now love nothing more than to create a nice full set of lashes and a perfectly curved Lushlift. I loved doing lushlifts so much that I decided to train further and since 2018 I have been teaching alongside my colleagues in the Lushlash Training Academy. I am also trained in waxing and taming those brows is very much a guilty pleasure.
When I am not over in Lushlash Witham with the team doing treatments or training I am at the pub, not just any pub but my own pub. Fun fact, in 2021 I opened up a pub with my business partner and whilst life is busy, I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Ruby Syce
Senior Lash Artist/Salon Manager
Bio
I have been a qualified Lash Artist since 2018 and have since trained in Lushlifts and waxing. I always loved beauty but never had the courage to pursue my dream. I then joined the Lushlash Training Academy and completed my first of many courses and never looked back. I absolutely love what I do.
Creating full sets and a smile on my clients face is exactly why I chose this profession and I am lucky to have built a lovely client base at the salon.
At the beginning of 2022 I completed my training course and came full circle and now spend my weekends teaching students how to become classic lash queens.
In my spare time I love socialising, eating out and I spend a lot of time with my niece and nephew whom I adore!
Debby Strode Smith
Nail Artist
Bio
I am a qualified Nail Technician. I pursued nails for the first time back in 2003 and on and off whilst my children were small. I began doing nails again full time when my children were older in 2016 and I now love working in a salon environment with all the girls. I do both gel and acrylic and in my spare time I love getting creative with my side business with resin also.
Danielle Robins
Hair Stylist
Bio
I began my career as a Saturday girl at 15, 6 months later I took on a hairdressing apprenticeship, qualified in my level 2 and 3 hairdressing and have been qualified since 2018. I love being creative in every way. The best part of being a hairdresser is giving my client’s that makeover experience and making them feel good. In my spare time I am a foodie so I LOVE going out for dinner.

I am a fully qualified nail technician. I qualified in gel manicures & pedicures in 2015. In 2019 I qualified in acrylic extensions.

Daisy Clark
SPMU Specialist
Bio
I joined the salon in 2019 and absolute love salon life. I have a real passion for everything aesthetics based and love helping clients to relax with a good facial and give them the glow they came in desiring. I am also fully qualified in microblading & ombre brows, both classic & russian lash extensions and an assortment of brow, facial and beauty treatments. In 2020 I became a trainer and I can genuinely say I LOVE my job.
When I am not making other people look and feel beautiful, I am spending time with friends, family and exploring as many new restaurants as I can.
Chloe Taylor
Senior Lash Artist
Bio
I’m a mummy to my beautiful daughter Aaliyah. The main reason I chose to train as a lash technician was because it was so flexible around my little girl and I wanted to try something different and learn a new skill. I have been a qualified lash artist since 2019 and I absolutely love it. My favourite thing to do is Russian volume lashes and I love to see clients happy with the finished result. As well as all lash extension styles I am also trained in B12, aqualyx and highly defined brows.
I really love what I do and when I am not working I am spending time with my family.

Kellie Rossiter
Shipping Manager & Product Administrator
Bio
I joined Lushlash Witham in 2019 as a Receptionist/ Administrator for the ever expanding product line. As the product line grew and moved into a warehouse, so did I. I review all incoming deliveries, process orders, package & ship parcels and help aid the smooth running of the warehouse.
When I am not surrounded by a treasure trove of lash supplies, I am at home cooking with my daughters and embracing the quality time with them.
Neve Kingston
Receptionist/Administrator
Bio
I have been working with the Lushlash team since 2020. I am based at the Lushlash Halstead Salon and whilst I am customer facing there, I am also at the end of the phone for both salons and for all product enquiries.
My main role is working behind the scenes on social media and speaking with clients. What I love most about my job is that no day is the same and I get to speak to a variety of different people all the time.
I recently moved into my first home so in my spare time I am busy making my house a home which I love!
