MEET OUR TRAINERS – SUSAN HOUDE
Susan Houde
Chester, Connecticut
With over 30 years of experience as an Esthetician, Susan was always on the lookout for new offerings in the industry when she stumbled upon a local Lash Lift training course. Right from the start, Elleebana stood out to her. What began as a mere addition to her skill set quickly became her new obsession. In 2017, she was fortunate enough to join Elleebana as an educator and has not looked back.
In 2014, Susan launched her day spa business, Wild Honey, with a focus on skincare and makeup. Lash Lifting quickly grew into my most popular offering and became my favorite service and my focus. When she became an educator with Elleebana, she found her passion. The fact is, she loves teaching and feels so comfortable in this role. Susan loves the connection with students, and the ability to help other professionals and share knowledge. She once received a review of my training saying, “You could feel Susan’s excitement.” Which really says it all.
Elleebana is an amazing company. Their commitment and support for their staff, their innovative and thoughtful approach to the beauty industry, and their continued level of integrity within the brand is unmatched. Susan is proud to be a part of such a passionate group of professionals and looks forward to continuing to grow alongside Elleebana. Their ongoing support, positive culture, and genuine sense of community are what have kept her here and grateful to be a member of the Ellee-family!
Susan continues to learn and grow as a professional while enjoying the interaction and relationships with clients. She would describe herself as a “beauty junkie,” professional yet real, honest with a sense of humor.
Susan currently lives in Connecticut with her husband of 28 years, Jeff, her two sons and dog Eva. She is also a singer in a professional cover band, plays the piano and is a die-hard sports fan.

I recently completed the Elleebana Lash Lift & Tint training with Susan, and I can’t begin to describe how excited I am to be on this new journey – which is in part because of Susan! She was very informative, didn’t rush at all, and has been certified and doing lash lift and tint services for several years. She knows her stuff and is excited to share her wealth of knowledge with her students. She’s very hands on and is incredibly open to helping you even after you leave! She is supportive, positive, and helpful. I would recommend anyone looking into a lash lift and tint course to take it here – you won’t regret it! You’ll leave ready to take on the world with your new love for the skill.– Lauren Page
I took the Elleebana lash lift training course with Susan. I was debating between taking the online training course or the hands-on course and I am so glad that I did the hands-on course! Susan is kind and patient and has great technique. What she taught me I never would have gotten from online training. I am so glad that I found her! – Lina Garcia
I took the hands on Elleebana Lash Lift and tint course at Wild Honey Face and Body Suite and could not have been happier with my one-on-one class with Susan. She was an amazing teacher; she thoroughly went over everything I needed to know about offering / performing this service to my clients. She then performed a lash lift and tint on a model while I watched, and she went through each step with me and answered any questions I had while she was working on her model. Then it was my turn. I was not nervous at all, Susan made me feel so comfortable and so confident that I felt like I already knew what I was doing, and I gave my model an amazing lash lift and tint with her assistance! She helped me take photos so that I can document all my work. I could not have asked for a better class and instructor. I am beyond excited to offer this service to my clients and even more excited that she was the one that trained me. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to get trained by Susan! – Kate Story
