My Story

I built it in America.
Then went back to Korea.

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-Facial was on every shelf in America by then, but most of it wasn't real K-beauty. I wanted to learn it the way it was meant to be learned.

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

I didn't bring Korea to America. I built in America, then went back to Korea — and made the bridge 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 land in Virginia chairs within months, not years.

Being first only matters if you're learning at the source. That's the part I won't compromise on.

What I'm about

Three things I won't trade off.

  • 01 · Aesthetic Beautiful, healthy, and convenient — all three. Not one or two.
  • 02 · Standard Being first, fastest, best — but rooted in learning at the source.
  • 03 · Mission Teaching. Watching a student outgrow me is the goal.

Jeju Studio · Korea

The Korea–Virginia Bridge

Three techniques. Three trips back to the source.

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

Eco Lash Lift application.
Eco Lash Lift™

Korea's original cysteamine-based lift.

I brought it to America first. Used it in my own chair before I recommended it to a single client. Six to eight weeks of curl, lashes that come out healthier — not fried.

ANGELIC LED lash extensions.
ANGELIC LED™

The Japanese LED extension method.

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

K-Facial

Trained on real Korean clients.

I went back to Korea and opened a studio there — not to take a workshop, but to learn the protocol the way Korean estheticians actually run it. Hands-on, every day, on Korean skin.

What I do

Four jobs. One mission.

01 Founder

Building Angelic Beauty across two countries.

Three studios. 20 artists. Korean and Japanese technique, American consistency. The company side lives at angelicbeautyva.com — that's where clients book and see the team.

02 Educator

Training the next generation.

The Angelic Academy is where I teach Eco Lash Lift™, ANGELIC LED™, and K-Facial certification. Small classes, real models, lifetime mentorship. Most graduates are booked solid within 30 days.

03 Curator

Originals direct from Korea and Japan.

Every product I sell at angelicbeauty.us is something I've used on a paying client first. Lazaro, Bell Collection, our LED line. Nothing on the shelf I wouldn't put on my own face.

04 Team Builder

A 20-artist team and an Academy pipeline.

Two paths to my chair: train with me, or join already certified. Both lead to the same standard. Graduates become colleagues. Colleagues become leaders.

What matters to me

Four things, in this order.

01 Where you start

Go to the source.

Korea for K-Facial. Japan for LED. I learn each technique the way it was meant to be learned — from the people who built it. There's no shortcut to that.

02 What products you use

Originals, not imitations.

The products I keep on my own clients are formulated by the people who invented them. Lazaro, Bell Collection, the original cysteamine lash lift. The shelf is short on purpose.

03 Who you grow with

Graduates → colleagues → leaders.

A team that pushes me forward. The Academy isn't separate from the company — it's the pipeline. The artist who joins my class today might be running a chair in two years and a studio in five.

04 Who stands beside you

None of this is solo.

Mentors who taught me. Artists I now mentor. Clients who've trusted me for ten years. Three studios across two countries doesn't happen alone — and I try not to ever pretend it did.

The Angelic Beauty Way

Train with me directly.

The Angelic Beauty Way is my comprehensive training program — skin, scalp, and eyelash care, the techniques I've refined over 20 years across Korea and the U.S. Private classes, scheduled around my calendar. One-on-one or very small group.

It isn't cheap. But you'll learn it properly — the way I learned it.

  • 01 Skin Treatment · acne, pigmentation, glass-skin facials 1-day
  • 02 Scalp Treatment · scalp health, natural hair growth 1-day
  • 03 Eyelash Treatment · Eco Lash Lift, ANGELIC LED, perms 1-day

Each course is a one-day intensive, taught privately around my calendar. Tuition by inquiry — email me to discuss.

Many of my graduates now work right here at Angelic Beauty.

Watching a student outgrow me is the goal. — Tiffany

Graduate stories

I went through Tiffany's lash academy. Booked solid 30 days after graduating. Best decision I made.

Michelle R.
Academy · 2024

Tiffany doesn't just teach the technique — she teaches you how to talk to clients, set your prices, and keep your retention high. I left with a business, not just a certificate.

Jamie S.
Academy · 2024

I'd taken three other lash courses before this one. None came close. The Eco Lash Lift cert alone has set my pricing apart.

Hannah P.
Academy · 2025

The private one-on-one format meant Tiffany corrected every set I did. I've never had that level of attention from any other educator. Worth every dollar.

Sarah M.
Academy · 2025

I doubled my service prices six months after the ANGELIC LED cert. Clients pay it because the quality shows.

Frequently asked

What people ask me the most.

How long is the Academy class?

Each course (Skin, Scalp, or Eyelash) is a one-day intensive. Private — one-on-one or very small group, scheduled around my calendar.

How much is tuition?

Tuition is by inquiry. The classes are private and tailored, and the kit + lifetime mentorship are included. Email me and I'll send the current rate.

Where are the classes held?

Either at my Fairfax, VA or Sterling, VA studio, depending on cohort. Many students fly in — I keep a short list of nearby hotels.

Do I need experience to apply?

For Skin Treatment: no, beginners welcome. For Eyelash and Scalp: prior beauty experience is helpful but not required — I cover the foundation if needed.

Do you hire your graduates?

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

What's included in the kit?

Tools, the K-beauty products we use in our studios, the technique manual, and the certificate. You leave with everything you need to take a paying client the next day.

How do I apply?

Send me an email at info@angeliclashesbytiffany.com with your name, the course you're interested in, your years of experience, and your Instagram or portfolio. I read every one personally.
