    Saying Goodbye To Hawkins: The Hair Secrets Of Stranger Things Volume 2 with Sarah Hindsgaul

    Sponsored by Covet Labs By Covet & Mane https://covetlabs.shop https://www.instagram.com/shopcovetlabs/ Sponsored by Wella Professionals Smoothfiller https://us.wella.professionalstore.com/en-US/smoothfiller  Interview with Sarah Hindsgaul   At 19, Sarah Hindsgaul left Copenhagen with a one-way ticket to New York, determined to tell stories through hair. Fresh out of hairdressing school, she faced language barriers and no connections, taking jobs cleaning salons while learning the craft and industry. Her persistence paid off, landing her first hairstyling role and setting her on a path to success. Today, Sarah is a celebrated hairstylist in high-fashion editorials and major Hollywood productions, including Stranger Things. Her work is recognized not just for technical precision, but for storytelling—using hair to capture character, mood, and narrative. Passionate about the intersection of hairstyling, pop culture, and identity, Sarah continues to innovate and inspire, showing how hair can be a powerful form of self-expression.
