Sam has always been drawn to art, symmetry, and beauty which lead her to study Fine Art at Freed-Hardeman University in Tennessee. On A trip to the mall one day she stumbled on a booth where women were using thread to shape eyebrows, she was intrigued! Being a poor student and needing some extra cash, she got her first side hustle threading eyebrows at the mall. In a surprising twist of events her eyebrow threading side hustle took off. Eyebrow threading is what created the desire to expand her knowledge in beauty, skincare and makeup. From there She went on to study at the Aveda Institute of Dallas. 

After graduating the Aveda program she worked at a a couple high-end spas in the Dallas-Fort Worth area where she saw just how powerful beauty, self care and building the confidence of women can be. 

Sam didn’t want to just stop there,  she was led to take her career to the next level into small business ownership. With her beauty knowledge, connections and a little business experience, she went out on her own.

In her first year of business she was selected to compete in Las Vegas “Lash Wars'' where she took home second place in the fantasy eyelash competition! She went back to Las Vegas the next year to compete again and although she took home 4th place this is where she met her business partner of 9 years and Lash&Brow Boutique in Dallas-Fort Worth was born.

Over the 9 years in business together so many important lessons were learned, connections made and growth happened. Sam and her team met the most amazing people and helped so many women build confidence and become better versions of themselves. She studied Permanent Makeup at Daria Chuprys Academy of Permanent Cosmetics in Los Angeles, California where she became obsessed with eyebrows and cosmetic tattooing.  In 2022 Sam bought out her business partner and Lash & Brow Boutique and rebranded the salon to the space it is now; A Beauty Collective.

Currently “A Beauty Collective” is changing the face of beauty and employs and trains some amazingly talented women and has the best guests anyone can ask for. In her free time Sam loves to travel, cook, garden, study holistic wellness and spend time with her sweet family.

 Sam’s passion for creating art and bringing depth to a woman's self love and beauty can be seen in the work A Beauty Collective creates everyday.
