We all know the beauty industry is always changing, and that’s part of what we love about it, right? But it can get so confusing with new business concepts going viral on social media left and right. From topics like prebooking to working your dream schedule to making 6 figures right away, it gets harder and harder to know what is realistic and what is just click bait. On this weeks episode I sit down with Michelle, the business coach better known as @beautybusinessguide on Instagram, to talk about our views on these topics vs the tried and true business methods. Whether you’ve been a hairstylist for 25 years or 5 minutes, this one is for you. You can find more about Michelle's business coaching information by following her on instagram @beautybusinessguide, reading her posts, and clicking the link in her bio.

Social media classes for beauty professionals can be found everywhere, but they're not always directed towards the "baby stylists" - which leaves a lot of questions unanswered, like how to post any content at all when you don't even have clients. To answer my questions for the newer stylists joining our industry I knew the best person for the job would be Sydney Lopez. Sydney is not only an insanely talented stylist, colorist, and educator - but she's also an incredibly knowledgeable social coach. With over 174k followers on her instagram alone, she has built an amazing following and is passionate about sharing her knowledge with the world. Be sure to listen to hear all the nuggets of advice she gives out, whether or not she feels any cooler with all those followers, and some very big takeaways on how to build up content for social no matter where you're at in your career.

Together with Meg Gilbert/@mermeghair we discuss body image in the beauty industry and how it effects stylists of all sizes, especially those in larger sized bodies. Meg and I bare our souls as we share comments that have been made from coworkers and clients, embracing our bodies, and how being fat is Meg's superpower. Together, we remind you that no matter your size, no matter what you ate today, and no matter what you're wearing - it does not define your worth as a human or your talent as a stylist.

Anxiety. ADHD. Burnout. Introvert. Sobriety. Hairstylist. Sam identifies with all of these things. So how does she make it work? Well, for starters, she is not alone. In an industry thats known for being comprised of "misfits," chances are most of us identify with at least one of these things (if not all of them). While Sam's story may not be entirely unique, she hopes that sharing it anyway can help anyone who might be struggling and understand that their love of their career and their mental health don't have to compete with one another. Listen to the full episode to hear the different ways both Sam and I deal with our various issues that seem to go against the very social industry we have chosen.  You can find Sam on instagram: personal @samillwater, professional @samdoesmyhair For more podcast content and info follow on instagram @coffeeandfoilspodcast .

5 years ago Lauren set out to have one simple thing: purple hair. What followed this pursuit has been 5 years of multiple stylists, disappointment, breakage, and hours and hours in the salon chair - without ever having her goals achieved. Even after all her unfortunate mishaps with her hair she is still marching forward to get the purple she has been dreaming about and will stop at nothing (even hopping on a plane) to get it.  On this episode she shares her entire story of how she got to this place and offers her personal opinion on the transparency that stylists need to have with their clients - especially when it comes to vivids.

As stylists we know how important the stylist-client relationship is and we all have different versions of what that means to us. Just like any relationship we may wonder if they like us back, if they think of us when they're away, and some of us want to keep it strictly professional. Whatever your vibe is, it's time to break down that wall and hear what clients think about us. On this episode I interview Haley, who reminds us all how special the stylist-client bond can be and how it goes so much deeper than hair. If you need a reminder about why we do what we do or are in the mood to feel warm and fuzzy inside, sit down - pull up a chair - and join us for coffee and foils.
