I LOVED this interview with Candy. My favorite thing about Candy is that she has a super successful career in the beauty industry and she was honest enough to share with us her one regret; not going to beauty school. She went to college for business, but she knows that a different path could have been set for her and I love that she has so much respect for Beauty School. Don't miss this one!
