Elevating the Lash Industry Through Diversity with Roxie Reese and Tianna Seo

In this episode, AnneMarie welcomes back two previous guests - Roxie Reese of DFW Lash University, and Tianna Seo of The Lash Exchange. As women of color in the lash industry, Roxie and Tianna share some raw and uncut truths regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion. While the beauty industry is a diverse global market, the lash industry in the U.S. does not always reflect that. You’ll hear advice on how to make your business more diverse, either with clients or employees, tips for diversifying your branding and social media feeds, and some intense discussion around who may be making your lash products in other countries, and their deplorable working conditions.

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). Find great products and all the education you could ever want (with a healthy dose of quirk) at UntamedArtistry.com
