Your Hairapy Session with Emily Emily Mazour

When I first met Mandana it was at Ken’s Artisan Bakery up on NW 21st in Portland, OR. I reached out to her because I wanted to hear more about Zibahub and what her company stands for. We spent a good hour and a half talking back and forth about work, motherhood and trying to balance it all. That was over two years ago. Since then we’ve become good friends. She’s really helped me grow, listening to my ideas about the show and she’s been a solid person to connect with. 

Alright amazing beautiful peeps Episode 25: My One Year Podcasting is out! Located on @spotify, @amazonmusic, @applepodcast and @YouTube. Sponsored by @zibahub and editing by @One27_

it's been crazy! Initially this podcast was to document my journey to becoming a salon owner, but after checking out spaces, my kiddos entering the toddler phase and realizing I wouldn't be able to balance it all my perspective has changed. Well, at least for now. On the show I've met some really incredible talented individuals who not only care about their craft, are making things happen, but truly care about others. And I have realized because of this show how fortunate I am to have met them and have a great conversation.

So please enjoy the show!

Last year like many I was feeling totally frumpy. So I booked with Jimmy Hillman. I’d been following him on IG and really admired all the work he creates. While sitting in Jimmy’s chair we talked about the hair industry, Portland and about supporting each other in this field. He then went on to tell me him and his friend Carrie Blasco are looking at opening up their own salon. Because of how he treated me as a client, the attention to detail to my haircut, and just by listening to him and hearing him talk about his salon endeavor Carrie I knew instantly that I wanted them on the show. And Carrie is just as thoughtful, kind and authentic and it was such a treat to interview her as well. And by the way guys. This is our third attempt at interviewing and I’m so glad I nailed it this time! LOL!.If you are a stylist looking for a new hair home Concrete treehouse Salon or a client interested in listening to three stylists who are incredibly passionate about hair you won’t want to miss this..Interview on April 27th 2021.

What I really love about my interviews is the flow of the conversation and where it’ll lead. Dakima Maria has quite a story and I felt completely honored for her to open up to me. You never know the hardships someone has faced and their journey until you sit down pay attention and listen. And her story is incredibly inspiring. Dakima has been in the industry for over 20 years. She now has a salon in Vancouver, WA and one in Las Vegas. She is not your average hairdresser. She’s a pioneer, an entrepreneur who is continually growing and moving forward. Oh yeah guys she’s also a kick-ass mother of five. Thank you so much Dakima for giving me the opportunity to get to know you and I’m looking forward to connecting with you again!Please enjoy listening to my conversation with @authentically_dakimamaria.

What I absolutely love about Portland is the amazing creativity of small business. Unique ideas coming into fruition. Portland supports the interesting and quirky and our community especially supports local and small business that have a low impact on the environment.

Ruby Oland has been playing around with hair products for a long time. Her hair color is a dark chocolaty brown and when applying the white hair powder to her roots it would leave a light residue on the roots and through-out her hair. So she made a dark hair powder which is now one of her best sellers in her haircare product line @rabbitbrushgoods. Her shag spray is also a big hit. Which by-the-way I have and it’s absolutely amazing! Entrepreneur, caring for the environment and our furry friends her product line is sold both nationally and internationally. Down-to-earth and open I had such a great conversation with Ruby. Oh yeah, she’s also an incredible singer and songwriter which one of her songs “Born in the West” plays at the end of this episode and I’ve been playing it over and over again at home with my kiddos!

Please enjoy our conversation. Interview on March 11th of 2021. Editing by One27 Media House and sponsored by Zibahub.

I first started following Lexi IG when she had booked a photo shoot with a photographer who I had worked with quite a bit, Holly Seeber. I then just started following her and her hair journey. I reached out to her when I found out that she started working at @yniquetouchsalon. I interviewed @handsgameofficial for episode 14 and Y’Nique said how nice and down-to-earth Lexi is. You never know who you’ll cross paths with and doing this podcast and reaching out to individuals it’s been pretty cool to meet kind-hearted, like-minded individuals especially in my home town. What I’ve found is there always something that I can take away as a hairstylist and also as a person with the conversations I have with my guests. Lexi is an absolutely beautiful soul and has this light about her which you don’t see often and I feel very honored to have her open up and have a conversation with me.

Please enjoy listeing to this epside with @lexijohnnyhair. Interview on Friday February 12th of 2021
