Meet The Team

Founder & CEO
Ken
Greetings! My name is Ken and I am the salon owner and operator.
I orchestrate every aspect of the salon from the 1,000 foot view.
I am a graduate of Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University. My long time career in consulting translates perfectly in making sure Pop Lash Beauty Lounge is successful.
​
I love spending time with my family, playing pickle ball and watching my hometown team, University of Alabama, play college football.
​
Although I mostly stay behind the scenes, I will pop in from time to time.

Lash Artist/Salon Manager
Dionne
Most of you know me as Di. Ken is my husband and I help him manage the salon from a day to day perspective.
I am a part time lash artist. My full time job is being a mom of three incredible children that keep me busy.
While I love lashes, my main passion is to help others feel empowered to be their personal best. Clients often need a listening ear and a little encouragement. Team members need a safe, supportive, positive environment to grow in their craft. Helping others is what keeps me motivated.
​
I am also a mental health advocate in Howard County. I volunteer regularly with NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness) Howard County and am a 988 Crisis Line Community Ambassador. It is just another way I exercise my passion to help others.

Certified Lash Artist
Valerie
My name is Valerie, but most know me as Val!
I’m a Certified Lash Technician currently located in Columbia ,MD.
I started lashing in 2019. After having my daughter a year prior and experiencing minor post partum
depression, I began to look for things that would help me get out of that “funk” and make me gain the
self confidence I once had.
After having lash extensions applied I decided to take a course so that I could also give that confidence to women. After becoming Certified at LASH.ME.DARA in Connecticut, I have been doing so ever since.
As a Certified Lash Technician I guarantee the highest level of technical and artistic skills. I will provide each and every client with the highest quality product available to me.
​
Fun Facts about me:

-

-
My favorite color is red

Wax Specialist
Morgan
Hi, I’m Morgan!
I’m a Licensed Esthetician but specializing in Waxing.
I started practicing waxing for fun during covid in 2020, once covid lifted I went to Aveda Institute of MD to complete the Esthetician program and finished in 4 months. During school and after I learned that waxing is very therapeutic and keeps me in my “zone”.
As an Esthetician/Waxer my goal is to make sure every client is comfortable as well as satisfied and wants to return, I also love the little therapy sessions my clients and I have. I always look forward to seeing my clients for this very reason.

Seasonal Intern
Alexis
Hi! I am Alexis.
​
I am a full time college student soon to graduate in December 2023. I started out as a customer relationship manager answering the phones. Now I handle special projects for Pop Lash Beauty Lounge, most of which focus on Pop Lash Training Academy.
My background is in Finance. I hope to be able to use my expertise to assist the salon there as well.
I work on an ad-hoc bases as needs arise but am still very much a part of the team. Catch me at salon events or when the salon has opportunity to be a vendor at other engagements.
