Built in America.
Then went back to Korea.

Tiffany Yi · Founder of Angelic Beauty · Since 2016

In 2016 I opened Virginia's first lash specialty studio. Then I kept going back to Korea — and in 2024 opened a studio in Jeju so the latest Korean technique lands in our Virginia chairs within months, not years. Three studios. Two countries. One standard.

My Story

I didn't bring Korea to America.
I built here, then went back to the source.


In 2016, I opened Angelic Lashes in Fairfax, Virginia — the first lash specialty studio in the state. I was the first lash artist in Virginia, and the first lash trainer too. There was no playbook here yet. I built one.

For years after, I went back and forth to Korea — taking classes, watching technique, learning from the artists who built it. "K-beauty" was on every shelf in America by then, but most of it wasn't the real thing. I wanted to learn it the way it was meant to be learned.

In 2024, I doubled down. I opened a Jeju studio in Korea — not to take another workshop, but to train properly, on real Korean clients — and a second Virginia location in Sterling the same year. The bridge became permanent.

Most "K-beauty" in America is K-beauty from three years ago. Mine isn't.

The Jeju studio is an active listening post. The latest Korean techniques and products reach Virginia chairs within months. Being first only matters if you're learning at the source — that's the part I won't compromise on.

  • 2016

    Founded Angelic Lashes in Fairfax, Virginia — the first lash specialty studio in the state.

  • 2016–24

    Repeated trips to Korea to learn at the source — from the studios and artists who built the techniques.

  • 2024

    Opened Jeju, Korea and Sterling, VA — two new studios in the same year.

  • Today

    3 studios · 2 countries · 20+ artists. The bridge stays permanent because I keep walking it.

Inside the Angelic Beauty Fairfax studio
Fairfax, VA · The first studio
01 · AESTHETIC

Beautiful, healthy, convenient.

All three — not one or two. If a technique gives you the look but costs you your natural lashes or your skin barrier, it's not our technique.

02 · STANDARD

First, fastest, best — from the source.

Being first only counts when the technique comes from the people who built it. I go to Korea for skin and to Japan for LED. There's no shortcut to that.

03 · MISSION

Watching a student outgrow me.

Graduates become colleagues. Colleagues become leaders. Trainers aren't separate from the company — they're how the method travels.

The Korea–Virginia Bridge

Three techniques. Three trips back to the source.

Each one I learned from the people who built it — then refined on real Virginia clients before I taught it to anyone.

ECO Lash Lift being applied
Lash Lift

ECO Lash Lift™

Korea's original cysteamine-based lift.

I found it myself in Korea and brought it to America first. It has been in every Angelic chair since 2022 — five years of Angelic clients have proven it. Six to eight weeks of curl, and lashes that come out healthier — not fried.

Lash Extensions

ANGELIC LED™

The Japanese LED extension method.

LED lash extensions started in Japan. I went to the studio that pioneered the technique, trained directly with the team that built it, and was the first to bring it to the U.S. ANGELIC LED is what came back.

K-Facial

Trained on real Korean clients.

I opened a studio in Korea to learn the protocol the way Korean estheticians actually run it — hands-on, every day, on Korean skin. Skincare that works from within, not device-led.

K-Beauty Curation

Originals, not imitations.

Every product I sell is something I've used on a paying client first — formulated by the people who invented it, sourced direct from Korea and Japan. Lash products for professionals, LAVIEN skincare for home care. The shelf is short on purpose.

The newsletter — five things I write about.

Short, useful, and sent only when I have something real to say. No more than once a month.

  • K-beauty routines — what I'm using on my own face this month
  • Lash care — making lash work last twice as long
  • Marketing for artists — how I price, how I post, what works
  • Mentoring lessons — what I learn from teaching
  • Business growth — building a studio that runs without me

Frequently asked

What people ask me the most.

Do I need experience to join the team?

No. Lash stylists and estheticians need a Virginia license, but not prior experience — we train you in the full Angelic technique. For front desk, no license is needed; personality and reliability matter most.

Where can I buy the products you use?

At angelicbeauty.us. Everything there is something we use in our own studios first — the ECO Lash Lift 8-Step System, the Angelic LED gel glue, and LAVIEN, the Korean skincare behind our facials (we're LAVIEN's exclusive U.S. partner). Want the details first? Read the ECO Lash Lift guide or the LAVIEN skincare guide.

Can I get a lash lift or facial with you?

Services are booked through the company site, angelicbeautyva.com, at our Fairfax or Sterling, VA studios. Jeju clients can find us at angelicbeauty.co.kr.

Do you offer private classes?

Not right now. I'm focused on certifying trainers — ECO Lash Lift and K-Facial (LAVIEN) — who will teach the Angelic method across the U.S. If you want to learn the technique, a certified trainer's class is the way in. If you want to teach it, apply for the Trainer Program.

How much is the Trainer Program, and how long does it take?

Tuition is by inquiry. It's a special course, so the curriculum and length are tailored to your experience. Email me with your license, years of experience, and Instagram, and I'll send the details.

Do you hire the people you train?

Yes — many of the artists working at Angelic right now came through Angelic training. If your work meets the standard, you get the first call.

How do I apply for a job or the Trainer Program?

Email info@angeliclashesbytiffany.com with your name, what you're applying for, your experience, and your Instagram or portfolio. I read every one personally.
