Borboleta and Milan Institute

At Borboleta Beauty, our mission is to help lash artists recognize their superpowers. We empower them to unleash their artistry through best-in-class products and accessible education. Partnering with Milan Institute has played a key role in expanding our partnership channels, allowing us to grow the lash industry and build meaningful relationships. Not only with their dedicated staff and educators, but also with students who begin their lash journey with the best of the best. These students often become lifelong customers, and it’s rewarding to be part of their growth from day one.

Because we share a mutual partner, Milady, we’ve had the pleasure of working more closely with Milan Institute over the past year. That collaboration has only strengthened our relationship and further aligned our shared mission of delivering top-tier beauty education.

What sets Milan Institute apart is the level of excellence they demand for their students. It’s incredibly refreshing to work with a school that genuinely prioritizes the student experience. They also insist on high-quality products for their kits.

One highlight of our partnership has been working closely with Rayven. She offers a clear window into the care and intention Milan brings to everything they do. From professional development opportunities for their staff to continued support for students and alumni, Rayven consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everyone is taken care of.

As a family-owned business, Milan Institute resonates deeply with us. Borboleta was founded by Kim and Craig Jaynes, a husband-and-wife powerhouse who created a culture rooted in inclusivity, individuality, and connection. Nearly 15 years later, that same close-knit, values-driven culture continues to shape how we work with our partners, and Milan reflects those values perfectly.

We’re proud to collaborate with Milan. Together, we are grateful for the role we get to play in supporting the next generation of lash professionals.
