Our Schoolโs History
In 2013, Jin Mi found her anchor in Olympia, WA, birthing her first venture, Miss Priss Lash and Brow, offering a diverse array of services encompassing lash and brow transformations, facials, body waxing, and permanent makeup. Her collaboration with neighboring beauty colleges inculcates “real world” acumen via externship programs, a testament to her commitment to nurturing future talents.
The year 2022 bore witness to Jin Mi’s second endeavor, the Miss Priss Lash and Brow Academy. This dual-mode academy, bridging online and in-person realms, is a nexus of technique refinement and business acumen, catering to established professionals, entrepreneurs, and students hailing from recognized WA State Board of Cosmetology Beauty Schools. Herein, the art of application harmonizes with astute business strategies, fostering efficient salons and new beginnings.
Noticing the burgeoning demand for lash and brow artistry and the challenges it posed for prospective learners, Jin Mi embarked on a pioneering journey, birthing her own esthetics school. This profound insight led to the inception of a Skincare School that not only certifies students under seasoned mentors in lash and brow disciplines but also champions a comprehensive esthetics program, securing licensure in WA State.
As the journey unfolds, Jin Mi remains steadfast in her resolve to align with the community and other institutions, sharing the story of how her services have transformed lives and the ongoing efforts to give back. By rejuvenating Olympia’s status as a sanctuary for aspirants in the Esthetics domain, Jin Mi is not merely surmounting challenges; she’s crafting avenues of transformation.
Meet Our Team!
Jin Mi S. Williams
School Director
Jin Mi S. Williams is a seasoned veteran of the beauty industry, having spent over two decades perfecting her craft. Her career began as a professional makeup artist, working on film, television, and magazine sets in both Florida and New York. Jin Mi received expert training under celebrity makeup artists, Leslie Christin (owner of Cara Cosmetics in Winter Park, FL) and Selena Miller, who has worked on films such as Selma, The Hunger Games, and Batman.
Throughout her career, Jin Mi has held various roles with major cosmetic companies, including Estรฉe Lauder, Yves St. Laurent, Nars Cosmetics, Lancome, and Benefit Cosmetics, where she served as a Regional Trainer in New York. She is licensed in four states in Paramedical Esthetics, and her husband’s military career has taken her all over the country, where she successfully built a loyal client base through her exceptional marketing, networking, and social media advertising skills.
Jin Mi finally settled in Olympia, WA, and established her first business, Miss Priss Lash and Brow, LLC, in 2013. Miss Priss Lash and Brow is a salon and spa that employs a team of ten professionals and offers a wide range of beauty services, including lash and brow services, facials, body waxing, and permanent makeup. Jin Mi also works with beauty colleges in the surrounding areas, offering externship programs to students to help them gain “real world” job experience.
In 2022, Jin Mi opened her second business, Miss Priss Lash and Brow Academy, which is an online and “in person” academy focused on application techniques and business consulting for current professionals, business owners, or students enrolled in a recognized WA State Board of Cosmetology Beauty School with studies in Cosmetology and Esthetics. The academy offers education on basic business practices for opening a salon or running a more efficient one.
Jin Mi recognized the significant growth in the interest of lash extensions and brow services and, after seeing the challenge it posed for potential students interested in these courses, decided to open her own esthetics school. She saw an opportunity to create a solution to the problem that could benefit both students and the community. As a result, Jin Mi is now opening a Skincare School that will not only certify students under experienced instructors in lash and brow services but also offer a full esthetics program that will license students in WA State.
Moving forward, Jin Mi is dedicated to working with the community and other organizations to bring awareness to the services they offer, how they have helped her, and what she is doing to give back. By putting Olympia back on the map as a trusted city for those looking to go into the Esthetics profession, Jin Mi is not just overcoming challenges; she is creating opportunities.

See What Our Students Have To Say
I love this school! Iโve learned so much within just a little amount of months being here, lots of hands on and lots of knowledge. Iโm so excited to see my esthetician journey glow and grow!
I had a good experience. Itโs really evident that everyone in charge cares about the students attending, and will help them any time they need it. I have plenty of state board practice which makes me feel confident for my upcoming exams. I think the one thing that might improve the school is having one more instructor/an assistant to help during hands on learning, just so everyone is extra secure in what theyโre doing. I feel I used some of the best of best products and tools to learn, and Iโm very grateful for that! Schools can easily charge more for less, but Jin made sure we always had what we needed, in the best quality, and more.
Iโve been in school here since November and absolutely love it! The instructors are amazing and helpful, and you can tell they know a lot about this industry. Everyday we are learning something new and itโs always so exciting! I would recommend this school for anyone looking to become an esthetician!
Absolutely love this school! Jin Mi is an amazing school director and has an amazing team of instructors that are very knowledgeable. I'm learning so much and feel confident going out into the real world of skincare once i graduate from the masters program. please please please come support us!
I absolutely love coming to school here so much. The environment is so uplifting and supportive and you learn everything you need to know in order to be successful in this field. The instructors have a thorough understanding of the esthetics industry with business backgrounds themselves and give us students guidance as to how to set ourselves apart and be the best we can be as estheticians.
This beauty school is amazing. Atmosphere is great and very welcoming by instructors and students. This beauty school offers plenty of services to choose from which is great due to the fact there are some beauty schools that do not offer lash lifts or extensions or brow laminations. You can tell that the students are very well trained at this school by knowledgeable instructors. Highly recommend
Iโm currently attending OSAS for their master esthetics program and I love it. Jin, Courtney, and Alex (the instructors) are all so sweet and helpful. Not only do they educate you on how to pass state boards but they also teach you how to be successful in the industry. If youโre interested in going to school and becoming an esthetician I 100% recommend coming here I love the dynamic all of the girls have created with each other. I have learned so much already and canโt wait to be licensed
Made some of my most special friends here. Learned some of the most valuable lessons from the most special instructors. This place will always have a close spot to my heart!
I am a current student here and I absolutely love this school. I would definitely recommend anyone interested in pursuing a career in esthetics to check it out. If you are a hands on learner like myself, this would be perfect for you. We are constantly applying what we learn in our readings to our hands on practices that we do with our classmates. The instructors and all the people there are extremely sweet and educated. They go above and beyond to create a fun and comfortable environment for everyone.
I started the Master Esthetics program in November and can say this has been a great experience. The instructors are very knowledgable, kind and supportive. I chose this school for their part time curriculum and their hands on training. If youโre looking for an esthetic school that creates a balance between work life/kids and still getting your license while having an immense amount of support this school is for you!! I am almost finished with my certification here and will miss each and every one of the instructors and classmates. Thank you Jin, Courtney, Alex and Matney โค๏ธ
