Kari Bristow lays out some hard truths and shares some difficult times she’s been through in this episode of Untamed. From life growing up to finding her lash passion after years of doing hai to advice on balancing “hustle culture” with family time, Kari’s primary focus is helping others. Her mission is to transform any lash tech into a thriving and successful lash artist. As a lash educator (focused on retention techniques), Kari strives daily to live up to her motto: Educate, inspire, mentor, and connect. Join us for a truly inspirational and brutally real conversation where all three of us get very emotional talking about our journeys to where we are now.
