Still Hate Anne Hathaway

Welcome to our latest episode, where we’re mixing it up with a little curiosity, a little cinema, and a whole lot of style. First up, we’re breaking down the unexpected world of grape innovation—yes, cotton candy grapes are real, and their story is wilder than you think; and they are not genetically made!
Then, we take a deep dive into Interstellar, one of my all time fave movies, unpacking fresh theories on Matthew McConaughey’s journey through space and time—while also having a little fun with Anne Hathaway’s more… distinctive on-screen moments. There are spoiler alerts but i beg you, watch it! If you like space and time travel.
And finally, we’re pulling back the curtain on a bold salon transformation that blends Gothic edge with Western grit. I rebranded, redecorated, and renamed my salon! The energy is next level, and if you're into spaces that make a statement, you’ll want to hear this.Starting 2025 with good friends, a great mashup, and fun insights into our brains and of course the therapists opinions!

The Art of Manifesting, Hairdresser Drama, a Secret Episode

We got new equipment and it's amazing, but we fucked up and by we I mean the boys. They love to hit buttons; and turns out the new fun sound effect buttons also end the recording. We filmed potentially the best episode ever and only 54 seconds was captured; on audio. BUT on video I got it all.
From Peanut the squirrel, to gross government over reaches, to the tik tok ban, dead CEOs and finally pantones color of the year and what it means. We also spill the tea on some hairstylist drama - trust me, it's juicier than a TikTok scandal.
You get to listen to the whole 54 seconds here of course, but if you want the Friday night giggle vibe, head to the link.
Link to the secret show here in the notes, we did our best to recover and add new thoughts even here, but I 10/10 recommend this video episode for the LAUGHS
 
None of this is advice ever, we are not professionals, we just like to start a good dialog amongst friends.
SECRET EPISODE
 
 

Self Aware or NPC

Hey there! Join us for a wild ride as we juggle cooking chaos with some laugh-out-loud moments. We try to plan dinner to be ready by the time the episode is over. We're also diving into a fascinating (and slightly maddening) statistic from TikTok about self-awareness. Do you think most people are really self aware or just NPC's on auto pilot drifting through earth.
Oh, and we're not stopping there. We're taking a trip down memory lane, grooving to some '90s classics, and having a good old rant about taxes, the IRS, and my view on taxation; it is theft! As well as sneak in what Chris and Kelly think about the person who said I domestically abuse my husband! I know, I cannot make this up.
Things take a wild turn as we delve into bizarre coma tales reminiscent of the Matrix and discuss the enigmatic world of classic rock. From Freddie Mercury to brain-bending out-of-body experiences, this episode has it all.
So grab your headphones, relax, and join us for some friendly banter. We promise you'll come away smiling and maybe even questioning reality a little. Don’t miss out!

Speeding Tickets, Seatbelts, and Slipknot: A Wild Ride of Stories and Laughter

Pour One Out for Ghost

Hey everyone! It’s been a while since we’ve podcasted—I’ve got so many episodes I still need to upload! I’ve been busy living life, and sometimes we all need a break. This podcast has become part of my therapy now so it does more for me than for you I bet.
This year, we’ve seen so many different versions of me, and my hair often reflects those phases. Sean jokes that I was nicer with certain hair when we were dating, but when we first met, I was also battling sobriety. We dive deep into topics like my avoidant attachment style, childhood neglect, and even the 90s eating disorder culture. But it’s all about processing, not blaming.
We also chat about trauma, AA meetings, codependency, and, yes, even crying—though Fox and the Hound is the only thing that can make me cry (although Sean thinks Guardians of the Galaxy will also do it). Oh, and there’s a story about Sean setting our tent on fire while on vacation. What would you have done? You'll have to  listen to know!
Lastly, RIP to Ghost the Guinea Pig—this episode is in his honor.

In the Salon with, Britton

In this episode, we’re hanging out in the salon lounge while Britton’s hair color processes. It’s a fun, laid-back chat with some special guests: Lili, Maggie, and Jorja. We spill the tea on the salon’s big launch party, the recent renovations, and—surprise!—an upcoming salon name change.
Britton and I have grown so close over the years. I love having her in my chair and working on projects with her because she’s the ultimate girls' girl. And honestly, us girls—sorry, but we rule! We also dive into how much we enjoy collaborating with the amazing Ben Egelson.
We chat about why I'm always updating and changing things around the salon. I mean, let's be real—if salons stop evolving, people stop coming. I even brought in secret shoppers to keep things fresh and get some feedback that we share in this episode.
Britton, as one of my OG clients, shares her honest feedback on the podcast, especially on that awkward moment when clients stare during the shampoo! You won’t believe how many people do that instead of just closing their eyes. We get the team involved, too, sharing their own wild shampoo station stories.
Trust me, you don’t want to miss this one!

Holiday Hair or Holiday Haters?

What a few weeks it's been! This episode we dive into the pre holiday shit show that is the salon with our favorite salon manager, Maggie!
We start off with the crazy ass week we had, including 2 bad reviews not are so wildly invalid we had to share. One of them my attorney is even involved, because you can have an opinion but you're not allowed to make shit up!
In all my years in hair the one thing that remains consistent, is the holidays bring out the worst in people receiving services.
And the best too! We have some of the absolute best clients, but this time of year the worst ones always find us, rotate back to us, or just suddenly become crazed. (or they ran out of salons to get kicked out of)
IDK what it is about Sept - Dec that makes folks so inhospitable, trust me we always investigate and try to grow and learn from each interaction - but there is always at least one person we have to ask to not come back.
This week is the precursor every year to the holidays. Two bad reviews from folks we haven't seen in 6 months or over a year. Then to add on top a cancelled concert, me backing out of an event, and people trying to start fights with me via text.
Join us, as me and Maggie dissect whats happening and brace for whats coming!

Monetizing Hate

The theme this episode is how grumpy people are, especially on the internet; but real life too. And how the best I can do is monetize it, cause Sean is gonna be nice to you if he sees you out. And he always seems to see the biggest haters out and about. Todays hater he saw at the Hair Supply Store.
We also have out first sponsors! Links and codes below 
Today's trauma is also brought to you by boomer dads on vacation; and boomer moms reading your diary. Navigating childhood trauma is f**king yucky, but I discovered a new limiting belief all because when I was a teen my mom read my diary; and then punished me for what was in it.
Spoiler alert, turns out it was normal teen stuff that I was lead to believe was actual psycho stuff haha
