𝗭𝗼𝗲 𝗚𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗻-𝗛𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗹𝗹 is joining us on the LABSNZ 2027 stage with a conversation we think a lot of beauty business owners need to hear.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘉𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵: 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦, 𝘌𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 & 𝘉𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴.

Because somewhere along the way, being “good with clients” can turn into constantly making exceptions, bending your own rules and saying yes to things that are quietly draining you.

And eventually, that costs you.

Zoe is bringing the real lessons from building @_sublevo_ to the stage and unpacking what stronger boundaries can actually look like in a beauty business, without losing the client experience or suddenly becoming rigid as hell.

You’ll leave with practical ways to recognise where your boundaries are getting blurry, communicate expectations more clearly and build policies you can actually stand behind.

Less resentment.
Fewer grey areas.

A business that works for you too.

Welcome to the LABSNZ 2027 stage, Zoe. 💜

When the awards are over, half the room’s gone home, but no one on the dance floor is ready to call it a night…

Obviously, you make a music video. 😂

We were just squeezing every last bit out of a really wicked night. Miss this energy already!

Thank you to the cast:

Guysssss I have NO WORDS 😭

Cause what tf do you mean I went to my first ever Lash conference ALONE but somehow felt so at home, in a room full of BADDIES, made forever business besties & came home with not only one but TWO awards! 🥹😭

If you told me this time last year that I would get 3rd place overall for my lash lifts I would’ve told you to stop talking shit cause that focking service use to stress me the hell out 🥲 BUT now doing Korean Lash Lifts are my absolute favourite service! 🏆🌟

The second award I received was so unexpected & an award I’m so privileged to have received the “2026 Taiea Award” this one was presented for always authentically showing up as myself, being proud & staying true to who I am as a person and to be recognised as that in the industry is everything because I only ever want to be ME! (a baddddd bijjjj 🤏🏽🤪)

A huge shout out to @rauwhiro_kennedy & @shereemiller_ for putting on an incredible day and night for all us artists the event & vibes were TOP TIER from start to finish! Take this as your sign to attend the @aotearoa_lash_conference & @lashindustryawards next year so you too can be in a room full of BADDIESSSSSS 🔥💃🏽🤏🏽

Aotearoa Lash Conference, you did it again 👏🏼

How amazing to be back another year. Rau and Sheree put together such an incredible event, and with a Wicked of Oz theme, everyone understood the assignment 🌈👠

The calibre of speakers and lash professionals in the room was something special. New connections were made, friendships from around the globe reunited, and there was so much knowledge being shared across the weekend.

Our CEO, Alicia, brought her 90-day business roadmap, an AI masterclass designed to help lash professionals turn ideas into an actionable plan and it was a HIT! Alicia also had the privilege of hosting the Lash Industry awards. A huge congratulations to every nominee and winner. Celebrating the talent, dedication and innovation within this industry is always a highlight 🤍

Rau, Sheree and the entire Aotearoa Lash Conference community, thankyou for having us back. What an incredible weekend 🥹🤍

Already looking forward to next year!
