Beauty Launchpad (BLP): What is a fun fact about you?
Cindy-Rose Earl Covic (CC): I actually went to college at 17 for art, owned a clothing store and worked as a Black Jack dealer, all before finding hair.
BLP: What is your proudest accomplishment?
CC: My assistants...watching them grow into their own is most rewarding.
BLP: What is your current favorite hairstyle trend?
CC: Modern shags, especially with natural texture. There is nothing like real movement.
BLP: What is a hair tip you have for your fellow stylists?
