👑 The Brow King is back! Megs sits down with René De La Garza @skinmaestro to talk career pivots, building community in the brow/lash world, and what it really takes to deliver healthy, consistent brow lamination results—without sacrificing the client experience.

René shares his origin story (yes… opera singer era 🎼), the behind-the-scenes mindset that helped him build Brow Down Studio, and why education-first brands are changing the game for pros. They also dive into the rise of intimate industry events like Brow Bash, common lamination mistakes even experienced artists make, and the “small luxury” touches that keep clients coming back—like René’s signature Crown Chakra Massage. ✨

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How René went from opera + corporate beauty to brow artistry 🎭➡️🖤
• Why Brow Bash works (and why trade shows are shrinking) 🤝
• The real reason brows “fall out” after lamination (hint: user error)
• The #1 mistake brow artists make: skipping consultation 📝
• How to elevate retention with client experience + luxury touches 💆‍♀️
• Trend forecast: lamination isn’t going anywhere + tints are leveling up 🎨
