In this episode, AnneMarie talks with Samantha Klein, a lash artist that received her first set of lashes as a model for AnneMarie. Since that moment, Samantha fell in love with lashes and her life was changed as she became a lash artist herself - to help other women feel the empowerment she felt with her first set of extensions! Samantha shares some of the incorrect statements about lash extensions from her clients over the years, and how she responds to clients when they have been misinformed. AnneMarie and Samantha talk about retention, refills, different types of client lashes, how misinformation is spread online, and how they educate each client about each scenario.
The Untamed podcast is hosted by Cheryl Peng, Founder of Untamed Artistry and AnneMarie Lorenzini, CEO. Untamed Artistry provides professional lash artists with helpful knowledge and quality eyelash extension products (hand-tested in our lash nerd lab).
