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
You may know me as Di.
I assist my husband Ken in managing our salon on a daily basis. Although I work part-time as a lash artist, my primary role is being a mother to three wonderful children.
While I enjoy doing lashes, my true passion lies in empowering others to be their best selves. I find in helping clients and team members alike, providing a supportive and positive environment for growth, I am walking in my purpose.
Additionally, I am a mental health advocate in Howard County, volunteering with NAMI and serving as a Community Ambassador for the Howard County 988 Suicide and Crisis Helpline
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:
-
I have 5 sisters and no brothers
-
I am 31 years old
-
I’m a cat person
-
I do not lash longer than 16mm
-
My favorite color is red
Certified Lash Artist
Jennifer
​Hi, I'm Jen!
​
I am super excited to start my career in the beauty industry at Pop Lash Beauty, with Di as my mentor and trainer. I completed my certification with Pop Lash Beauty Academy this year and am eager to apply my new skills in lash enhancement services.
​
For the last 20 years, I have dedicated myself to a career in dentistry with a commitment to education and licensure; working in a prestigious office in Columbia and now as an Invisalign coordinator and whitening specialist in Catonsville. I bring the same enthusiasm and devotion as I have for dentistry to providing the most beautiful and healthy lash services you deserve!
​
I love spending my off-time with my daughter, travelling for long weekends, watching true-crime docuseries and snuggling with my kitty.
​
So come to relax, unwind, and leave feeling refreshed and beautiful in Pop's cozy and clean lounge!
