owner of pacific beauty cove & xalura
sydnee mcgee
Sydnee McGee is the owner of Pacific Beauty Cove which she started when she was 20 years old and recently launched her second business, Xalura at the age of 26. Xalura is an e-commerce business selling lash products to artists all over the United States.
Sydnee graduated from esthetics school in November 2017, and started working for a small salon in Bonney Lake, WA doing lashes a couple of days a week. “I never took any formal training classes for lashes, I just picked up on things here and there because I had been told that lash classes were too expensive, and they weren't necessary.”
That statement and thought process was the one thing that held her back from reaching her full potential early on in her lash career. “If I would have been told differently, I would have been more successful sooner. Everything happens for a reason, and I fully believe that I needed to go through that period of my career to appreciate where I'm at today.”
In 2021 Sydnee began making 6 figures doing lashes 5 days a week and began the journey of creating her own brand and product line. Xalura was launched in July of 2022 delivering quality products to unapologetic artists. Sydnee has also gained national recognition by receiving the Best Lash Artist United Stated 2021 from Elite Lash Global II and most recently winning the Wonka Challenge from The Lash Ritual, Lash Luva and Lash Reality. Sydnee teaches her techniques to other artists wishing to develop and perfect their craft.
