Dr. Seth Interviews A Profession in this episode: in this case, a hairstylist. 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. Heather, the stylist, shares a few trade secrets and educates us about what customers might not know happens in the salon break room. She may make you cry when she talks about customers coming straight from the hospital, and laugh when she talks about who gets a "quick haircut."
