Today we’d like to introduce you to Cassieandre & Stormie Lamar Jones.
Hi Cassieandre & Stormie Lamar, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Stormie’s Response:
My mom (Cassieandre Jones) has been a business owner my entire life. As her only child, I’ve always had a front-row seat to entrepreneurship. Since I was five years old, I’ve played a role in every business she’s owned—from packing orders for Rich Girl’s Closet to filing paperwork at her tax office and even dispatching for Slab Jones Trucking, LLC. I’ve truly done it all.
But it wasn’t just about helping—it was about learning. My mom always made sure I understood the “why” behind everything, because she wanted me to know how to run a business. She built everything with me in mind, knowing one day I would inherit and continue the legacy. In 2018, she founded Pink Caviar Lash & Brow Spa, and just two years later, during the height of the pandemic in 2020, Pink Caviar University was born.
So many people were being laid off, and we saw an opportunity to help others invest in themselves by learning beauty trades—lashes, brows, makeup, and more—to create a new or second source of income. What started with just a few students has now grown into weekly packed classes. Pink Caviar University feels like my baby too—I help run half the business and serve as one of the creative directors. It’s more than just a school—it’s a movement, and I’m proud to be part of it.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Stormie’s Response:
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road—and honestly, I don’t think building something meaningful ever is. Being raised by a strong entrepreneur meant I learned early on that success comes with sacrifice, long nights, and tough decisions. As I started taking on a bigger role in the business, I had to grow up quickly and learn things most people my age haven’t even touched yet—managing operations, helping make financial decisions, and even learning how to lead a team.
One of the biggest struggles has been balancing everything. I’m still young, so trying to juggle the business, personal life, and figuring out who I am in the middle of it all has been a challenge. There were times I felt overwhelmed or unsure if I was doing enough. But I kept going because I believe in what we’re building.
Another challenge is that sometimes people underestimate me because of my age. But I let my work ethic and creativity speak for itself. I know I bring something valuable to the table, and I take pride in being part of something that’s changing lives. The road hasn’t been easy, but every obstacle has made me stronger, smarter, and more passionate about our mission.
We’ve been impressed with Pink Caviar University, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Stormie’s Response:
Pink Caviar University is more than just a beauty school—it’s a community, a movement, and a place where dreams are born and nurtured. We specialize in advanced beauty education, offering both online and hands-on training in services like lash extensions, brow waxing and tinting, threading, permanent makeup, body waxing, laser lipo, and more. Our mission is to empower individuals—especially women—to take control of their future by learning high-demand beauty skills that can transform their lives.
What sets us apart is how personal we make the experience. Every student who walks through our doors is treated like family. We don’t just teach techniques—we build confidence, offer mentorship, and create a supportive environment where students feel seen, heard, and capable. Our instructors are highly experienced, and we stay up-to-date with the latest trends and innovations in the beauty industry so our students are always learning what’s relevant and cutting-edge.
One of the things I’m most proud of is how many of our students go on to launch their own businesses or become booked-and-busy beauty pros. Watching them grow and succeed is the most rewarding part. I also take pride in the aesthetic and branding of Pink Caviar—it’s modern, luxurious, and bold, just like our students.
If there’s one thing I want readers to know, it’s that Pink Caviar University is here to help you start your next chapter. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to add another skill to your business, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. We don’t just teach beauty—we build futures.
How do you define success?
Stormie’s Response:
For me, success is personal. It’s not just about numbers or how big the business gets—it’s about knowing that I’m making my mom proud and building something with her that actually changes lives. I’ve watched her work so hard over the years, and now to be working beside her and helping students find their own path—it means everything to me.
Success is seeing a student come in nervous and unsure, and then watching their whole energy change once they realize what they’re capable of. I get to witness people grow right in front of me, and that’s the best feeling. It’s in those moments where I feel like, “Yeah, this is what I’m supposed to be doing.”
And on a deeper level, success is about legacy. My mom built this with me in mind, and now I get to help carry that legacy forward. That’s what drives me every day—knowing that we’re not just running a business, we’re building a brand that stands for confidence, empowerment, and opportunity.
