Online Student Testimonial
Panoply's January featured artist, Jaclyn Mai, shares her inspiring beauty industry story with us, and how her love of our brand began:
"I have been in the beauty industry for almost a year. The seeds of my beauty career were planted when I booked my first facial 4 years ago to address acne scarring and hyperpigmentation. Naive 22-year-old me thought a single facial would do the trick when all I needed was a series of chemical peels and a solid skincare regimen (bye, Clean & Clear!). The confidence that I felt from having clearer skin was unparalleled. I knew I wanted to help others feel good in their own skin. This past year during the pandemic, I booked my first lash extension training course and I haven’t looked back since! I am quitting my full-time job this month to focus on my business and to continue my education. Wish me luck!
"I primarily focus on facials, lash lifts, brow laminations, and waxing. I am truly so passionate about all these services. I can’t see myself doing anything else!
"I have absolutely loved my experience with Panoply - both with their products and training! I found their page shortly after my lash lift certification course. Although I was certified elsewhere, I always found myself scouring their Instagram and Facebook support group for helpful tips and advice. Naturally, I enrolled in the Elleebana lash lift and brow lamination conversion courses as one of Paige’s students. I have always felt supported by Paige throughout my courses. She is an absolute gem!
"As for Panoply’s products, I love everything they carry. I am obsessed with all things Elleebana. My favorite products are the Elleebana Isolator Tool and the Panoply Brow Gel. An added plus of shopping with Panoply is that they ship super quick, almost always quicker than I anticipate."

Panoply's SEPTEMBER featured artist: Holly Dennie
Holly Dennie of SCULPT Brow & Body in Saint Paul, Minnesota is our featured artist for September. Hollie's advanced brow artist skills never fail to WOW us! She's a two-time trained Elleebana artist, and we're proud to have her on team Panoply!
Our Panoply Beauty team interviewed Holly about her experience with Elleebana products and education, and the Panoply brand. Here's what she said:
"I've been an Esthetician since 2018, and I've been a solo artist for 1 year this month! I've spent the majority of my life bouncing from job to job, and eventually landed in beauty school to pursue bridal makeup, quickly realized that makeup wasn't going to be my ticket to happiness but loved the atmosphere of the industry, so I kept going. Now, brows are my specialty, but it's fun to switch it up with the occasional lash lift or brazilian on the side!
"I first learned of Elleebana through my previous employer, and when I decided to go solo, I reached out to Kelly at Panoply to stock up on my own product. Since then, I've taken a one-on-one with Kelly for lashes, and a few master classes for brows. It's easy to feel close to the girls at Panoply, I guarantee they gave me a lot of confidence when I was starting out, and I owe a lot of my success with the brand to that.
"Before I decided to get my license, I was actually looking into working in human resource management. I've always hated being the new girl at a job, or having to learn a new service (like threading for example) so when I'm talking to clients or sharing tips and tricks with other artists, it makes me feel like I get to use the skills I would have working in a human resource environment, but in a much more fun and relaxed way. I'm not exactly sure how I landed in this career and had it turn out to be exactly what I should have been doing all these years, but better late than never.
"Within the first year of being independent, the support I've gotten from clients new and old, and the way word of mouth has traveled, it's no secret that Sculpt will be bigger than what I had planned. It's terrifying and exciting at the same time..but if you're not willing to risk, you cant grow.
"The best thing I can try to stress to other artists, or anyone that thinks they're too old or too comfortable to make a change, is to get uncomfortable with that way of thinking. If I hadn't made a change at 30, I would still be serving pints of beer in Iowa! Oh, and the real education starts once you're licensed, take advantage of quality classes!"

Charlotte, NC: meet your Elleebana trainer!
Tysheka Lanier is our Charlotte, North Caroline trainer for One Shot Lash Lifting, Elleeplex Profusion Lash Lamination, and Elleeplex Profusion Brow Lamination.
In addition to many years of customer service from working in the corporate business field, Tysheka also managed several salons. It was in those positions that she found her passion for training and education. She became a stylist with Elleebana and fell in love with the brand. Within six months, she decided to become a Lash Lift trainer.
The Panoply Beauty team interviewed Tysheka about her experience with our brand and using Elleebana products. Here's what she said:
"I have loved all things beauty since I was a little girl and becoming a cosmetologist was always my dream. I have been a licensed cosmetologist for eight years. I expanded my experience in the cosmetic arts field, becoming even more passionate about the world of eyelashes which has become my area of expertise.
"I am a certified stylist with Elleebana. I did a lot of research on lash lift brands and Elleebana stood out the most. It was highly recommended because of the quality and longevity of the brand. Once I tried it, there was no comparison to other brands I’d used in the past. I loved the brand so much, I become a certified trainer after six months.
"I enjoy training others and sharing my expertise. As the beauty industry is constantly changing, I continue to stay up-to-date with new innovations to provide quality education to my trainees. I like to make my trainees feel comfortable and confident when they leave my courses.
"I look forward to continuing to grow with the Elleebana brand and inspiring others to grow professionally."
Are you in the Charlotte, NC area and ready to train with Tysheka?

Elleebana Brow Henna Application
Next on our Brow Henna series from educator Anastasia Hoff:
Elleebana Brow Henna Application
To watch the full video of Anastasia's demo, click here.
Here's a step-by-step rundown of her method:
1. Measure out your Elleebana Brow Henna powder and mix with the proper amount of Elleebana Brow Henna pH Activator.
Pro Tip: Anastasia prefers her henna mixture slightly runny- however you prefer your mixture, be sure to move all your henna to one corner of the mixing cup to prevent over-drying.
2. Begin applying henna to brows with Elleebana Angle Eyebrow Brush or your favorite brush in a direction to mimic brow hair growth. Starting your application at the tail of the brow and working your way into the body and head of the brow without picking up more henna will give you more of a natural variation in color.
Pro Tip: In areas where brow growth is heavier, lighten your henna application to keep those areas from appearing too bold.
3. Be sure to coat the henna down to the skin during application. The Mapping Pencil and Mapping Paste will provide a slight barrier to prevent staining skin in unwanted areas, but do not rely on this completely. Clean up areas where henna was not intended to be applied as quickly as possible with water (we love this brush for cleanup or Doe Foot/Disposable Lip Gloss Applicators).
Pro Tip: The longer the henna is wet on the skin, the deeper the skin stain will be in most cases.
4. As you work on each brow and each brow area, note that as henna begins to dry it will become a clay-like consistency. Henna mixture that is more dry will require a thicker application to produce the same skin stain as a more runny henna mixture can produce.
Anastasia recommends applying henna to brows in one of two ways:
- Applying to one entire brow, then moving to the other brow to apply in its entirety.
- Apply to both brows as you work through each section:
left tail - right tail
left body - right body
left head - right head
5. Add a second coat of henna in areas needed (this is typically the brow tail and the bottom lines of brows).
Pro Tip: Pay close attention to henna application on your non-dominant side, as this side can tend to become more sloppy/messy.
Additional color notes:
- If using a lighter color mixture (Blonde, Light Brown, Natural), be sure the color doesn't dry too lightly and you're applying second coats where needed.
- The NEW Elleebana Henna formulas have much more of a neutral undertone, allowing the colors to be richer and easier to use!
- Always start with a single color pigment before adding Black to any mixture. The new formulation does not require Black henna to be added often.

Alabama trainer: Donna Yonta
We love our Elleebana Alabama trainer, Donna Yonta! As a lash lift, lash & brow lamination, and henna educator, Donna inspires us to learn as much as we can!
We interviewed Donna about her industry experience as well as her experience with the Panoply Beauty team and Elleebana. Here's what she said:
"The beauty industry has always been a deep interest of mine, and this interest turned into passion about 12 years ago as I transitioned out of the corporate world and earned my Aesthetician license while living in Florida. My passion for beauty, skin care, and beauty have propelled me to become an educator to share my passion training other skin care professionals in the industry’s best practices. I am licensed as an Aesthetic Educator in Tennessee and Alabama. I have taught Aesthetics at various schools in Tennessee and implemented a new Aesthetic program in one of those schools.
"Given the expansion and competition within the beauty industry, I realized that my students needed a broader learning experience that they would be able to build a competitive resume to compete within the job market. I began my search for marketable skills and products to provide my students additional tools and skills they could add to their services and choice of practice specialty. This is when I discovered Elleebana. I was impressed with their history, vision, and commitment to providing professional quality products. It was Elleebana’s focus on excellent service that also caught my attention and resonated with me. This is when I realized that I wanted to be a part of the Elleebana brand and provide this opportunity to my students.
"Soon, I entered the Elleebana certification program and became a trainer in 2017. Since then, I have trained numerous other beauty professionals. What I love about being a trainer is sharing my passion for the profession, inspiring student growth and creativity, to have their own vision of success, and to achieve their professional goals.
"In 2018 I attended the Elleevation Symposium and met Otto and Zoe. My first impression was that Otto and Zoe really care about their trainers as much as they care about their products. At this symposium I also met Kelly Rhode, who was “the icing on the cake” when it comes to caring people. We’re not only professional colleagues but friends, she has always been willing to give her advice and professional tips. I have learned a lot from her. I could not have been happier when she became my master trainer. Kelly, who is the owner of Panoply Beauty, is fantastic, she is well informed and is diligent about keeping us informed and up to date on products and procedure protocols.
"In 2019 I relocated to Alabama, and opened a service-education center in Madison, Alabama. Currently, I am enjoying the ability to fully focus on post graduate education in my local and surrounding area."

August's featured artist: Debra Schlenker
Allow us to introduce you to Panoply Beauty's August featured artist: Debra Schlenker.
https://www.instagram.com/highbrow_beautiful/
We interviewed Debra about her experience in the industry, with Panoply, and Elleebana, and here's what she said:
"I’ve been in the industry for 25 years, I’m a licensed Master Cosmetologist in North Dakota. I don’t know when I decided this would be my career path, I kind of always knew. The majority of my clients are color clients with a healthy dose of men’s grooming thrown in - I have a knack for beard trims. However, brows and lashes are quickly filling my books! I’m also a master nail technician, but I haven’t done nails in salon for some time.
"I really stumbled into Panoply/Elleebana within the last few months. A friend and client was so determined that I was going to henna her brows that she bought a starter kit. I was instantly hooked, but knew I needed to be certified to really be able to offer the best service possible for my guests. I signed up for a hands-on course with Anastasia Hoff in May of 2021.
"While I was experimenting with henna I was becoming more and more curious about brow and lash lamination, so I ordered the Profusion kit and signed up for the lash lamination course being offered the day after the henna course. I completed my certification for brow lamination online. Both the hands-on and online courses were excellent, and Anastasia has a gift for building confidence in her trainees - I’m very lucky to have had her as a teacher!
"This industry is very fast paced and constantly changing, I enjoy keeping up with the latest trends in the services I offer, and am constantly amazed at the talent I see in our industry every day. When I started working the only way to keep up with upcoming trends was in industry magazines or by going to shows. You really only saw stylists who worked for product companies or enormous salons. Social media has really changed the game, we have a universe of resources, connections, inspiration, and education in our hands 24/7, and a ton of it is free. I love watching fellow professionals growing their careers in innovative ways all while making the world a more beautiful place for everyone. My ‘why’ has always been and always will be sharing the beauty I see in my guests with them. You don’t love your hair, brows, lashes? I do. Let me show you how.
"In five years I hope to be in other salons training professionals in brow and lash services and continuing to show my own guests just how beautiful they are, inside and out."
We love how Debra has taken her 25 years of beauty industry talent and transformed it into a new passion in brows and lashes! She is a true testimony to Elleebana training courses and the investment payoff. We love to watch her continue to learn and grow!

PANOPLY'S July Featured Artist
"I have been in the industry 2 years now and love every second of it! It all began when I went to the Aveda Institute in Minneapolis and from there I went into the world of waxing but quickly learned that it wasn't all I wanted to do so I started my own small business where I can offer facials, lash lifts and brow services! My favorite services are all of them because I only offer services I enjoy doing.
My experience with Panoply has been excellent. I've taken 3 training courses now and have felt so supported by Kelly & Anastasia in my pursuits of higher education through them. Kelly also keeps me fully stocked on all my products and is one of the most prompt distributors I have the pleasure of working with!
My favorite thing about what I do and why I started is being able to make a difference in people's lives. I've always enjoyed being a caretaker but this brings it to a whole new level. That look on someone's face when you've exceeded their expectations - whether it's skin, lashes, or brows. That light in their eyes after the service is what makes my career the most rewarding one.
5 years from now I hope to have my own built-out space somewhere completely independent and that belongs to me! I plan to continue my education by becoming an Advanced Practice Esthetician so I can offer even more services and so on! I never want to stop learning!
My advice for new artists is: don't compare yourself to others! We all learn on our own timeline and at our own pace. We all have something different to offer and that is our superpower. Be so uniquely you and trust the process."
