Our Company
Here at Volume Lashes Co, we’re a small Japanese-owned online luxury lash company with a focused goal to supply only the best quality of lash supplies and thorough education that each artist needs to further their career in the lash industry. Our company started up in 2019 in the heart of NYC by the multi-award winning founder and owner, TB Kim, with a dream to provide the gear, the knowledge, and the skills that it takes to become a successful lash artist.
We pride ourselves in our work and dedication to creating quality products, offering in depth training courses, and providing opportunities for artist exposures by hosting online competitions. Not only is it our mission to supply competitive artists the tools and the knowledge to help them advance in their careers, we want to see every artist be prepared for this industry and help them reach their fullest potential in their career.

About the Owner
TB Kim is a renowned artist and has been working in this industry for more than 10 years. She is one of the Top 5 finalists for the 2020 NALA awards in the categories of Lash Artist of the Year, Technique Award, Studio of the Year, and Educator of the Year. She is also an advocate for eyelash competitions and just within her first 8 months of competing, she won 11 trophies in that short of a timeframe (see her credentials below!). After the taste of victory and seeing how showcasing trophies at her work has positively changed her personal business for the greater good, she became even more invested in the world of competitions, and knew that her calling was to help encourage other artists to do the same to experience the same great outcomes she had while also creating a line of products that could help get them there!
TB has experience as an international judge for global competitions and conference speaker. She is an organizer of NYC Volume Lash Cup, and offers international training courses, specializing in competition training. Many students of hers have taken home awards and won competitions after receiving the training. Seeing the growth, the excitement, and the success of her students gives her all the more drive and dedication to continue sharing her extensive knowledge and insights of this industry.
Since the early life of this company, as an artist who has been through the rough patches of this career, TB’s vision has always been to truly help pave a successful path for current and upcoming artists by making sure they have all the necessary tools that they need to succeed and sharing her years of expertise in the eyelash industry.
