Education
The entrepreneur attended Fairfax High School in Los Angeles, and she had good grades during her school years. She was also a cheerleader for her school's sports teams. Palmer later joined college but left before completing her college studies to pursue a career in acting.
Career
Halfway through college, Palmer moved to London to pursue a career in acting. During that time, she did not have a job, and she needed to be working on something that could earn her a living.
Yris was always fond of acting, dancing, and modelling since childhood. She landed a few roles on various reality television shows. Unfortunately, she did not find much success as an actress and quickly decided to try her hand at something else.
After quitting acting in 2014, she noticed that most ladies she met in London wore lash extensions. So she thought that she could explore that area of business, which is how the idea of her lash extensions company was born.
Yris Palmer founded a makeup accessories company called Star Lash. Since its inception, her company has worked with various models and celebrities such as Kylie Jenner, Kendal Jenner, Ariana Grande, and numerous others.
Initially, Palmer would do anonymous Instagram promotions, either herself or through friends. At the time, her young company was based in her parents' apartment. She later rented some space at a medical spa before getting her beauty store, known as Star Lash Beauty Bar, in Los Angeles.
Palmer's big break came when she started getting celebrity clients. Her very first celebrity client was Christina Milian, who then endorsed her services through an Instagram post. This marked the beginning of the rise of Star Lash.
