Noir Lash Lounge – Meet the Owner
« Read the full blog
As Vancouver’s premiere lash lounge, Noir Lash Lounge is a perfect example where classy meets chic. Located in the heart of Yaletown, Joyce Cajucom, founder and owner, reveals her very own tips and tricks about starting her own business.
How did you come up with the concept of Noir?
Noir Lash Lounge was born out of my own passion and vanity. I LOVE LOVE LOVED my lashes après the extensions and I LOVE LOVE LOVED how it changes the focus of the face. There was nowhere really to go that JUST did lashes – it always seemed to be added onto a list of many other services, almost like an after-thought, when really lashes needed to be front and centre!
What advice would you give women who would like to open their own businesses?
Just do it. Don’t be afraid to take baby steps. Something that starts small can really grow into something greater. And ask other women for help and advice – there are many great and inspirational women out there!
The hottest talk in town is about Twitter/Facebook etc. Have you found Social Media useful for your Business?
Absolutely! I am a member of the Facebook Generation – even before the launch of Noir I was on Facebook 24/7 and now I’m totally addicted to Twitter. I just incorporated Noir into what was already part of my daily routine and it worked out well!
What do you love most about being an Entrepreneur?
The control of seeing your vision come to life. I am a perfectionist and mildly obsessive-compulsive and finally I found something where these traits are OK!
What’s your favorite business book read and why?
Unfortunately being of the internet generation, I didn’t actually read books on business, but did all my research online – business and marketing magazines, reading up on social media and honestly, winging most of it.
Many women in Business find it difficult to balance home and work life. How do you manage to do this?
I have really good time management skills and I learned to delegate early on, although to be honest, home life more often than not falls to the bottom of the to-do list.
