We had the good fortune of connecting with Jenny Papadopoulos and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jenny, let’s talk legacy – what do you want yours to be?
A legacy I strive for would be synonymous with skill, professionalism, and a positive client experience that will contribute to the growth and reputation of the lash artistry field. I want to leave a lasting impact on the lash industry by consistently delivering exceptional, personalized lash services. Most importantly, I would love my legacy to have added value to the lash industry by staying true to who I am.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
As a lash artist, what sets me apart from others is my attention to detail, ability to customize lash sets and my commitment to client satisfaction by staying updated with the latest trends and techniques. I really focus on lash looks that complement each client’s natural beauty. I would be lying if I said it’s been easy getting to where I am today. I came early, stayed late and showed up on my days off. Building a book of business is one of the most challenging parts of growing a business in the competitive world that is the beauty industry. Every milestone I hit, there came new growing pains I needed to nurture. These growing pains taught me that it never gets easier, you just get smarter. An important lesson I had to learn along the way was that it’s okay to ask for help or hire someone, you do not have to do everything yourself. Once I learned that, I was able to grow quicker than ever.
At my core, I am just a Greek girl, born to immigrant parents with a strong entrepreneurial background. My journey into this industry was driven by a need for independence and purpose to serve as a champion for fellow women. I truly aspire to set a positive example, demonstrating that success knows no boundaries, inspiring others young women in their professional pursuits.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
As an Arizona native, I do have a few spots I love. I love getting out of the city by going to places like Sedona, Prescott, Bisbee, Jerome or Payson. A few of my favorite spots to dine here in town would include: Gordos Tacos, Cafe Monarch, Local Bistro, Pizzeria Bianco, and George’s Kitchen.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My parents deserve recognition when it comes to my journey and success. When I decided to take the leap from my consistent laser technician job to start a career as a lash artists my parents not only supported my decision, they purchased me a massage bed and believed in me from the very beginning.
