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.
