    30. Consultations: Let's Talk!

    Client consultations are imperative in achieving a positive result for both the hairstylist and the client.  We talk about virtual consultations happening before the appointment so we can really have an understanding about the service, price and time needed to make the magic happen. Amanda is our DIY gal so she is a great representative for listeners and to allow Linda and Karie  (the hairstylists) to educate and guide her so that disasters don't ruin her hair. #themoreyouknow

    29. Barber to Sex Therapist? feat. Kristen Schaer

    29. Barber to Sex Therapist? feat. Kristen Schaer

    We are so honored and excited to have Kristen in the studio with us. 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. I love stories. I love people. I love making people feel good about themselves inside and out. I am a sex therapist now and I fully believe if I hadn't been with my clients through their many tales of sex, dating, partying, graduating, learning, growing, and becoming, I might never have been the sex therapist I am today. Some of my former barber clients still reach out to me to tell me about their lives, which I am so happy and humbled by. Cutting hair has been a lifeline and an amazing teacher.

    This podcast episode delves into the fascinating world of shampoo, shedding light on its origin, various uses, ingredients, and the wide array of options available today.
    Historical Roots: The episode begins by exploring the historical roots of shampoo. It explains that the word "shampoo" derives from the Hindi word "chāmpo," which means to massage or knead. Shampooing has been practiced for centuries in different cultures, often using natural ingredients like herbs and oils.

Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of choosing shampoos that match one's hair type and any specific concerns, like dandruff or frizz.
    Hair Care Tips: The podcast offers practical hair care tips, including the correct way to shampoo and the importance of rinsing thoroughly. It also touches on the potential harm of over-shampooing, which can strip the hair of natural oils and lead to dryness.
    Variety of Options: The episode highlights the vast array of shampoo options available today. It covers traditional liquid shampoos, solid shampoo bars, organic and natural alternatives, and even sulfate-free and vegan options. The hosts stress the importance of consumers making informed choices based on their hair needs and values.
    Sustainability: Sustainability is a key theme in the episode. It discusses how the beauty industry is moving towards eco-friendly packaging and ingredients, as consumers become more conscious of their environmental impact. The hosts encourage listeners to consider sustainable options when choosing shampoo products.
    In conclusion, this podcast episode provides a comprehensive overview of the world of shampoo, from its historical origins to its modern-day iterations. It emphasizes the significance of understanding ingredients, choosing the right shampoo for individual needs, and being mindful of sustainability in the hair care routine.

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!
