REID RYAN, ELLEEBANA EDUCATOR
"My journey with Elleebana goes
back to a little over a decade ago, as
an esthetician in a treatment room. I
trained to off er lash perms a decade
prior and it had honestly frightened
me to use actual hair solutions on
cotton rods. en came Elleebana—
with packaged solutions and silicone
rods made for lash lifting. It was game
changing. e more I researched the
brand, the more I was inspired by
their passion and commitment to the
industry. I was ecstatic to fi nd how
much their values aligned with my own. When
the announcement was made that Elleebana
USA was established, I couldn't wait to apply
to be a certifi ed trainer. Before the end of my
trainer boot camp, I was asking how I could be
certifi ed to train every curriculum possible.
Elleebana is so much more than an award-
winning product—it's an education system,
it's a support system, and it's a family. rough
their mentoring programs and support, I
have grown as a stylist, trainer, and mentor.
I have been encouraged to push myself in
new ways and to constantly evaluate myself
to be the best version I can be. I have grown
to be a trainer for two states, expanded my
salon twice over, won a Lashie award, and
most recently won fi rst place for brow and
lash lamination at e Skin Games. e last
and happiest news I have to share is that I
recently became an Elleebana distributor for
California and Nevada. My hope is that, with
the addition of distribution, I can be the best
resource possible in supporting my students!"
