We talk about what it's like to work at a chain salon, being a platform artist (basically, "hair rock stars"), hair shows (which sound wildly fun -- I wanna go), and how the stylist relationship with their client is a lot like a mental health therapist. Stylist Heather explains what customers want from their stylist: someone who has a nurturing personality, likes to listen, and practices empathy, validation, and understanding. Listeners understand by the end of the episode the qualities of a happy stylist and who this is not the right profession for.
