    Why Stylists Charge for Bad Work (And How to Stop)

    Okay, I've got a beef today, and we need to talk about money versus integrity. We all feel financial pressure, but what happens when fear starts making decisions behind the chair? Today, I’m getting into why we justify taking money for work we know isn't right, how scarcity affects our choices, and what that paycheck actually costs your business in the long run. Said with love, but you know I'm not sugarcoating it.

    Hairdressers! Stop Making Your Clients Cry

    Okay, I've got a beef today, and I need my fellow professionals to hear me on this one. I'm tired of seeing clients cry in their cars after an appointment. I'm tired of watching stylists blame the client every time something goes wrong. We hold a license, and right now, more than ever, that license needs to mean something. So today I'm getting into ownership, negligence, and the one thing I think matters even more than talent behind the chair. Said with love, but I'm not sugarcoating it.

    How a Trail of "Signs" Led Her to Her Dream Salon

    Audra Brown is back for part two, and this is the story we didn't get to last time. She got fired her very first day behind the chair. Then she bounced from salon to salon, through walkouts, shutdowns, and every kind of chaos you can imagine. But she swears the whole time, the universe was leaving her little signs about where she was meant to end up. And when you hear how it all lined up, you might start believing it too. This one's part hairstylist journey, part something bigger. Come hang out with us.

    Where Are We Going With Social Media?

    Something showed up in my feed this week that I can't stop thinking about. Not because of what happened, but because of how all of us reacted to it. So today I'm asking a bigger question: where are we going with social media? When did someone's real, human crisis turn into something we watch, screenshot, and share? I don't have all the answers. I just think it's worth sitting with. Sending love to Perez and his family, and to anyone out there quietly struggling right now. You matter, and you're not alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, you can reach the 988 Crisis Lifeline anytime by calling or texting 988 in the US.

    When Clients Tear Themselves Apart in My Chair

    You know the ones. They sit down, look in the mirror, and immediately start listing everything they hate about themselves. After 30 years behind the chair, I've learned it's almost never really about the hair. So today I'm getting into what's actually going on in those moments, how I handle it without piling on, and where I think the line is between being a good stylist and trying to be something I'm not. Stylists, you'll feel this one. And if you're someone who does this in the chair, come sit with me anyway.

    The Hair Trauma a Lot of Us Don't Talk About

    I met Tanya on her wedding day, and we've been talking ever since. So I finally brought her to the mic. This one goes deeper than hair. We get into growing up with immigrant parents, the messages we pick up as little girls about what's "good enough," and why she's worn her hair a certain way for most of her life. It's honest, it's real, and it's a conversation a lot of us need to hear. She's a nurse, a mom, and one of my favorite people to sit with. Come hang out with us.
