We had a great time talking with this intelligent and well-educated woman about life, people and feelings. Here is a summary in her own words: My various careers have made zero sense on paper. I went to undergrad for creative writing, and then did a 180 degree turn and decided that I'd go back to school and become...a barber?! And yet, it all makes perfect sense. Well, at least to me.

She’s My Favorite!

Let me start by stating that Karie has been taking care of me and my hair for TEN YEARS! My sister-in-law introduced me to her, and aside from an unfortunate incident after shoulder surgery, I have been with her ever since. Short, long, bob, now bangs, dark, red, and now blonde again; I get the most compliments after getting my hair done by Karie.
I have followed her to five salons and drive two hours round trip quarterly for the privilege of getting my hair done by this woman, and of course we have become friends! I always refer my friends to her, but not many will commit to driving more than 20 miles out of their way.
Now onto the Podcast…
Karie is one that is never afraid of taking risks, whether singing in front of an audience or trying a new hairstyle. Taking on this adventure has proven to be a huge success and it’s been fun to hear from her stylist friends I like and remember from other studios.
I have learned so many new tips and now have so many questions! I hope I don’t run out of episodes! I almost spit my coffee out when Ken described listing his clothes at the snooty party!
Congrats Karie, you nailed it!

Funny & Informative

Great behind the scene podcast about the trials and tribulation’s of hair stylists. They casually weave fashion history into the conversations that you may have forgotten, 80’s perm’s, 90’s fashion etc. & how it was normal to work next next to a woman that chain-smoked while doing perms all day in the early 90’s. Very fun!

Rebecca’s Episode:

Rebecca Raine’s episode was the first I listened to in this podcast series… It was amazing! Based on that episode alone I’m definitely gonna listen to more of what Karie and Linda have to say!
