The Lash Shrink

One thing I will ALWAYS do is support small businesses I love. ❤️

And this one? SO worth the wait to get an appointment!

This is Jenny Harjung. And what can I say?!

Calling what she does a facial would be an understatement. It was an EXPERIENCE!

My skin was GLOWING, and I had the BEST neck, shoulder, and hand massage I’ve ever had during a facial!

I have so much admiration for relentless, hardworking women who genuinely care about the ENTIRE client experience, not just the service itself.

Being in the beauty industry, I notice these things, and I appreciate them so much!

And no, I’m not showing you my glowing skin because this post isn’t about me. It’s about HER and what she’s created. ❤️

Yes, those are lash extensions!

The ultimate no-makeup makeup look.

Because sometimes the best lash extensions are the ones that make people wonder if you’re even wearing any.
Soft. Natural. Effortless. And very much intentional.

That’s my kind of lash magic.

Most of you know me as the woman behind The Lash Shrink. Some of you probably know WAY more about my life than you ever signed up for. 😂❤️

But there’s a part of my story you may not know.

From India to Nigeria to America, my journey has been anything but conventional. Finding my identity, building my independence, and figuring out where I belong has been a lifelong process.

The Lash Shrink became a huge part of that journey. ❤️

I recently had the opportunity to share my story with Migration Nexus, talking about immigration, womanhood, entrepreneurship, and beginning again.

I’m sharing this because behind every small business is a story. And every one of you who has supported mine has become part of that story.

Thank you for being part of mine. ❤️

What happens when you move to a new country with dreams for your future, but find yourself waiting for the opportunity to pursue them? From India to Nigeria and eventually the United States, Aruna's journey is one of migration, resilience, and self-discovery. After moving to America in 2004, Aruna spent nearly a decade navigating work restrictions before beginning her journey as an entrepreneur. But her story goes beyond building a business. It’s about challenging cultural expectations, navigating identity between different worlds, understanding herself through a later ADHD diagnosis, and discovering what it truly means to belong. 💬 “Don't compare your start to my middle.” In Episode 8 of Where Stories Move, we explore the struggles that often remain invisible behind immigrant success stories, the courage to start again, and the freedom to define success on your own terms. And sometimes, after years of moving, the greatest achievement is finally finding a place to call home. 🏡 🎧 Episode 8 is out now! Listen to Where Stories Move on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. 🔗 Link in bio. Because migration is more than crossing borders. It's about the lives we build along the way. #MigrationStories #ImmigrantVoices #WomenEntrepreneurs #ImmigrantEntrepreneurs #WomenEmpowerment

Let me reintroduce a little part of The Lash Shrink that means a lot to me: 🤍

After 13 years of doing lashes, so many conversations around my lash bed have stayed with me. We talk about confidence, self-worth, boundaries, and all the things we’re still figuring out.

Lashshrinkism is where I share those little observations, lessons from my own life, and reminders I often need just as much as anyone else.

It comes from the same place as the care I put into your appointments. I want you to feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself here—and leave completely confident in your lashes.

Beautiful lashes bring us together. The trust we build is what makes this work so meaningful to me.
