    Hair Loss Doesn't Wait for 45 Anymore - Dear Beauty Ep. 5

    This week, we're sitting down with a special guest, Michele Tyson from Nutrafol, to continue one of the most important conversations we've had on the show: hair loss. After the response to our last hair loss episode, we knew we had to keep this one going. We get into why hair loss is showing up at every age now, the lifestyle factors and stressors quietly fueling it, what to actually look for when something's working, and why prevention beats catching it late. Whether you've been quietly worried about your hair for years or simply curious about the science behind functional supplements, this is the conversation we wish more women were having. New episodes every other Friday at 12 PM ET.

    How to Go Gray Without Letting Yourself Go - Dear Beauty

    This week, we're tackling one of the most divisive questions in beauty: to gray or not to gray. The real conversation isn't whether you go gray. It's how you do it, and what happens when "letting it go" turns into letting everything go. We get into why gray can age you ten years overnight, why so many women start to feel invisible the moment the sweats and Crocs come out, and the salon tools that actually make a difference. Whether you're trying to stretch your appointments, transition gracefully, or figure out if going gray is even the right move for you, this is the conversation you've been wanting to have. New episodes every other Friday at 12 PM ET.

    The Pressure Behind Weight Loss Beauty Ideals - Dear Beauty

    This week, we're pulling back the curtain on something women are often asked about but rarely discuss honestly: weight, the shot, and what it costs to lose weight. We get into the real stuff, the stigma around the shot, the hair loss nobody warns you about, the way fast weight loss hollows out your face, and the closet-eating patterns that started long before any of it. We walk through Marilyn Monroe to Twiggy to 90s heroin chic, and the generational comments that stuck with us ("you have such a pretty face, but…"). This is the conversation about weight and aging that we wish we'd heard a long time ago.New episodes every other Friday at 12 PM ET.Hosted by: Eva Harris & Mary MillerEva Harris:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/eva.thebeautylounge/⁠Mary Miller:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mary_thesalonexperience/Website: https://davidandmary.com/The Beauty Lounge Salon + Medspa:Website: ⁠https://www.beautyloungecarmel.com/⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/beautyloungecarmel/⁠Listen to Dear Beauty:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4LelRjuQw5ueq2QFmsPyKx?si=d2c30abea435407dApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dear-beauty/id1890509605YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DearBeautyPod/podcasts#DearBeauty #BeautyLounge #BeautyPodcast #HairSalon #BeautyIndustry #SalonOwner #CarmelIndiana #HairstylistLife #BehindTheSalonChair #WomenInBusiness #BeautyLoungePodcast #EvaHarris #MaryMiller #DavidAndMary #BodyChanges #WomensHealth #Midlife #AgingGracefully #WomenOver40 #WomenOver50Chapters:0:23 - Welcome Back0:45 - Our GLP-1 Stories1:30 - Six Years Old and 70 Pounds: Mary's Weight History4:41 - "You Have Such a Pretty Face, But..."5:53 - The Stigma Around the Weight Loss Shot6:47 - Hair or Thin: The Tradeoff8:40 - How Weight Loss Ages You11:36 - Mary's 2-Pound M&M Confession14:03 - Marilyn Monroe to Twiggy to 90s Heroin Chic18:12 - Why Hairdressers Wear Black20:39 - Sensible Weight Loss24:21 - Body Image, Dating, and Society28:09 - Fillers, Neurotoxins, and Aging

    How to Prevent Hair Loss - Dear Beauty

    In this episode, we get into the real conversation around hair loss , why it's hitting women harder than ever, what's actually driving it (Covid, GLP-1s, perimenopause, diet, stress), and what you can do about it from the inside out. We cover nutrition, red light therapy, scalp health, and the right products. Plus, Eva walks us through mesh integration, a new technique with only two practitioners in the state of Indiana, and why it's changing the game for women who thought they were out of options. Hair is the crown we wear every day. When you start losing it, you lose part of your identity. This one's for every woman who's noticed more in the drain than she used to.

    The unfiltered story of our first years in the beauty industry.

    In Episode 1, we're taking you back to the beginning. We share how a Broadway-dreaming girl from Ball State ended up building one of Indianapolis's most respected salons, and how a young stylist walked into David and Mary's with a cover letter in hand and a Chevy Cavalier in the parking lot. You'll also hear how two Leos, who didn't always see eye to eye, kept finding our way back to each other. This episode is all about our origin stories: where we started, what those early years really looked like, and why, after 20, 40, however many years, we still love what we do. Plus, we're giving you a sneak peek at what's coming: hair loss, weight loss, aging, going gray, and all the things nobody tells you about building a career in beauty. New episodes every other Friday at 12 PM ET.
