Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephani Klahs Rhoads.
Hi Stephani, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I have a always had an interest in beauty since I was a little girl. I loved doing my hair and make-up before school every morning and I always did all of my friends hair and makeup for events and things. I love makeup and dressing up and feeling pretty. In my late teens I was interested in cosmetology school. Life unfortunately took me in another direction. I became a Bakery Manager for a major grocery chain when I was in my early 20’s. I however did get to use my artistic skills in Decorating cakes and I loved it! In 2019 my husband and I Bought a Bread route and I did not work for the bakery any longer. in 2021 we bought another bread route and we work together. About a year ago my husband started talking about retirement and we started talking about the 5 year plan. He is older than I am so I would still have to work several more years. 5 years ago I got eyelash extensions for the first time and fell in love ❤️ so I did some research and decided to look into lashing. I wanted to own my own business because I was so used to working for myself with owning the bread routes. That is how I started lashing and started premiere Lashes. That was in October of 2024.In January of 2025 I took a permanent makeup class at Inked beauty bar and academy and got my tattoo license. I do powder brows, lip blushing, nano brows and eyeliner/eyeliner enhancement. So now my Business is called Premier Lashes and Ink 🧡 and I currently work at Studio anew/salon and Float Center in Crestwood Missouri and out of my home studio in Arnold, Missouri.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Yes!

My Business is Premiere Lashes and Ink I specialize in enhancing a women’s natural beauty. I think as a woman I feel it is important to take time for ourselves and feel good and feel beautiful. I take pride in doing more natural looks. I do classic, hybrid and volume eyelash extensions. I also do permanent makeup. powder brows, nano brows, lip blushing and eyeliner/eyelash enhancement. I think what sets me apart is I like my work to look as natural as possible. A little enhancement goes along way
