Chelsea SCHIZAS;Licensed COSMETOLOGIST;Master Lash Stylist;owner
It all started when…
In 2012 Chelsea moved to Texas from Bakersfield, California and attended Cosmetology School at Paul Mitchell The School in San Antonio. Right after graduation, she moved to Austin and started her career in the Lash Industry. Ever since she was a little girl her mother would bring her to the little salon called “Lynette’s” in her hometown. This is where they would spend a lot of time. She grew up listening to the ladies share their life stories and enjoyed the friendship they had while getting their services done. “From the beginning I always knew I would be in the beauty industry , I didn’t know that lashes would be where I ultimately ended up. It didn’t exist back then, It sort of found me.” Chelsea has been perfecting her lash technique since 2015. She specializes in Classic, Hybrid, Volume, and Mega Volume lashes. Chelsea opened Little Lauretta’s, named after her mother as her inspiration for her love of all things marvelous. “I want Little Lauretta’s to signify the feeling I felt as a little girl listening to other women laugh and love each other in that little salon. Chelsea is LashBoxLA certified and uses all LashBoxLA products in the salon. Chelsea has also been certified by Ali Lilly of Lash Anarchist on how to create the perfect style, density and texture based on the layers and shape of each individual eye.

Someone who truly inspires me and I admire is my aunt Stacie, she’s the nicest person I’ve yet to meet, and she is the most amazing parent. Her children all suffer from dyslexia and she had been a stay at home mom but was a teacher prior, so after it was diagnosed. She went back to school to become a dyslexia specialist.
