Principal Experience


The Origin of Lash Principal

The word Principal comes from the Latin principalis, meaning first in importance — the leading one. Our name traces back to our first location on Calle Principal, the “Main Street” of historic Monterey, California — once the original capital of California. It was there that Lash Principal began, rooted in a place where history, beauty, and leadership have always met. Our name honors that beginning: a reminder that excellence starts at the source — on the main street, where everything begins.
