BSB: Which lines are sold through beauty stores?
CJ: In addition to our Forever Young wigs, many beauty retailers carry our Red Cherry eyelashes. These styles range from the timeless look of Ava Gardner or Audrey Hepburn’s black lashes to under-eye lashes for a “mod” or Twiggy persona. Very different customers ask for the Ava or Audrey look. Customers who favor Ava tend to be more cosomopolitan and Audrey followers are usually younger, college age girls.
