Isobel Rushton, from Haydock, did not believe the email from the head buyers at the online store requesting information on her eyelashes was real.
But after a nudge from her husband Tom, she got back in touch.
Since then it has been a whirlwind journey for the 26-year-old who took over the salon on Clipsley Lane just after the birth of her second child and in less than a year designed her own line of lashes which are now available to buy on boohoo.
Founded in Manchester in 2006, the Boohoo group (LON:BOO) started life as boohoo.com, an inclusive and innovative brand targeting young, value-orientated customers. For over 10 years, boohoo has been pushing boundaries to bring its customers up-to-date and inspirational fashion, 24/7. boohoo has grown rapidly in the UK and internationally, expanding its offering with range extensions into menswear through boohooMAN.
