She Left the Army, Became a Stylist… Then Accidentally Built a Viral Brand (ft. Leah Sampson)

Leah Sampson is not your typical hairstylist. She's an Army vet, a colorist, an extension specialist, and the woman who clipped her mic to a knife at a restaurant and went viral for it. We talk beauty school, going independent, and what it actually takes to build a loyal clientele.✨ Leah Sampson – Hairstylist, Colorist, Extension Specialist & Makeup ArtistBased in Charlottesville, VAIG: @leahdoesmyhaircvilleTikTok: @leahdoesmyhaircvilleWebsite: https://www.leahdoesmyhair.com🛍️ Shop Virtue Labs through my link:https://www.virtuelabs.com/en/stylist/Kim-Allison✅ Subscribe for more conversations with the voices reshaping the beauty industry.Click Here For More Info: https://linktr.ee/TrendywithKimAllison– Listen on Spotify, Apple, and all podcast platforms.– Follow @trendywkimallison on Instagram and TikTok.TIME STAMPS:00:00 – Intro & Welcome01:26 – How Hair Found Leah04:44 – Military Life & What It Built06:39 – Going Independent & Salon Suite Realities13:32 – Beauty School & Business Education20:50 – Going Viral & The Content Creation Journey28:31 – Talent vs. Branding34:35 – Booked or Bounced + Rapid Fire40:20 – Where to Find LeahSubscribe to stay in the know.
