Jimmy Dinh's Blog
Daily, I spend most 2 hours with
each client. There are whole
variety live stories that I have
been chatting and sharing and
learning wisdom, experiences,
challenging lives with my
clients. One to two hours for
each client in at lease once a
month give me such of wonderful
time to hear good, bad, sad and
fun stories from the their
diversity mood, happiness.
I have grown up by my clients
from my behaviors, thoughts,
English through the American
culture. I enjoy the time that
it is not only to make them to
have pretty lashes, but also I
enjoy communicate with them.
As they come to my chair for
relaxing and sleep for a good
deep nap, then I enjoy their
sleeping. I believe that whoever
are bad or good or nice or mean
person, while they are sleeping,
they all show the same their
good energy and innocent faces
to me. I love to enjoy that.
As they are snore, that means
they have very sound sleep. That
is good energy sleeping to me.
They don’t bother me at all.
Clients keep apologize to me as
they snore louder, I tells
“don’t worry. I enjoy your snore
sound because I can feel you
charging lot energy for
yourself. Snore is good. I love
you snore, so you have a
wonderful nap with beautiful
lashes after you leave my shop”
I don’t care others saying that
snore is an illness from snore.
To me it is normal. I don’t
think I snore, but I enjoy
others snore as I am awake.

FIRST CLIENTS, THEN MONEY.
I always think about the client
first before I take their money.
There are many clients who I
send home because their lashes
need rest, relaxation and/or
treatment. Most of them are
first time clients who have
damaged their lashes from other
bad techniques, rollers,
artificial lashes, bad habits
like picking their lashes, etc.
Sometimes my new clients need to
take off their ugly eyelash
extensions from other techniques
before they get my pretty
lashes. I take off the lashes
for them without charge and then
sent them home for few months
treatment before they came back
to me for the new sets. I lose
income from these appointments,
but I am happy to do it because
I listen to my heart to do what
is best for my clients.
I always try to be creative for
my clients’ eyelash styles and
use best practices to help their
lashes stay pretty, healthy and
strong. This is especially
important for my clients who
like to wear my eyelash
extensions almost every day. Our
“Magically Unique Technique,”
developed by my twin brother,
Daniel, is the most perfect way
in the world for eyelash
extensions. I still focus on
each single lash as I apply it
to each individual lash of my
clients. This technique does
little or no damage to my
clients’ lashes. But even with
the best techniques, there are
going to be times when your
eyelashes need time to rest and
recuperate. I usually recommend
they rest their lashes for 3-6
months as needed. Depending on
how my clients maintain their
lashes by following my “after
care instructions,” I tell them
when their lashes need to rest
and for how long.
I always try to make my clients
very happy about my lashes and
service. I have had many
emergency appointments when my
clients required eyelash
extensions for their special
events. Sometimes if needed, I
work before 7 am or past
midnight. For wedding parties, I
offer my clients free short
eyelash refills a few days
before they have their wedding
parties, so their lashes look
very fresh and pretty on their
big day. I love to receive and
gladly accept new and unusual
ideas (I call it Wisdom) from
clients and their individual
requirements to adjust or fix
the lashes to make a more unique
style for my clients’ make-up or
to match my clients’ individual
lifestyles.
When necessary, I can try to
finish my lash sets in a short
amount of time for unusual or
difficult situations. But even
when applying the lashes must be
rushed, I always try to give my
clients perfectly beautiful
natural lashes. Sometimes
clients are late for their
appointment, anxious or fearful
and I need to finish the job in
a shorter time. I try to make my
clients feel comfortable,
relaxed, and ask them stay as
long as they can. “I am here
with you in a very safe
environment, thinking about blue
sky and beautiful beaches you
have been to. You will have
pretty lashes when you leave my
salon. I try to make these
anxious clients feel calm and
safe with me. “Please, let me
put more lashes in here, and
there, please stay here for 5
more minutes,” I beg them.
“Jimmy, are you addicted to
applying lashes,” clients
curiously ask. “Yes, I am
addicted. But only for making
beautiful lashes for you,” I
confess. Sometime, I tell my
clients that I am not satisfied
with my lashes for them because
I hoped that they would have
more time for me. “I can give
better lashes than these,” I
say. “Jimmy, my lashes look very
pretty and nice. I love my
lashes very much. What are you
talking about,” my clients
correct me. I always think about
clients first before I take
their money.
I have always tried to make my
clients happy and finish my
lashes even when they were
abusing me while I was applying
lashes for them. I held in my
tears as they yelled at me or
smoked while I applied lashes at
their home although I asked them
to stop doing that. However,
don’t get me wrong. More than
ninety-nine percent of my
clients were nice and loved me.
There were a few bad clients
like that, but I still survived
and finished my beautiful job
for their new pretty lashes. I
tried to win whenever I had
difficult clients by using my
positive energy. One time, I
told a celebrity client that I
wouldn’t do her lashes again
because she was abusing me and I
won’t let her do that to me
again because I respected myself
and love myself more than I was
addicted to make her pretty
lashes.
Occasionally, the eyelash
extensions can drop off very
quickly. I feel upset as much as
my clients because I feel bad.
Sometimes my clients come from
another town and it takes them
more than 2 hours to drive back
and forward to my shop and spent
at least an hour and half
patiently lying down for my
lashes. That was not right and
fair. There are many possible
reasons that could cause the
eyelash extensions to drop.
However, I still take care good
of my clients and redo them with
a new set for much less or
without charge. Nobody is at
fault - I just fix the lashes
for them.
Some clients gave me too much
tip, I always try to return back
some of the tip to the clients
to make it a fair and reasonable
amount of tip. If my clients
resist taking back some of their
tip, then I use this tip money
for charity for poor families in
Vietnam.
