Anya joins Jack and Jason for a no-filter episode of Shit I Told My Hairdresser that hits everything from fake hair products and shady beauty education to the real reality of working behind the chair with a speech impediment. They talk stuttering in the salon, how clients and strangers react, and why confidence matters more than “perfect” speech—especially in an industry obsessed with image.
Then it gets wild: Anya breaks down the high-end Williamsburg Brooklyn salon scene—cash-only days, motorcycles in the salon, nonstop partying, strip club nights, and the toxic “rockstar stylist” lifestyle people glamorize but don’t understand. They also get into drug and alcohol culture in salons, including what really happens in “cool” luxury spaces, hair shows, and education programs that pay trash and sell lies.
And if you think that’s the peak… wait until Costa Rica: mud wrestling, heavy partying, a fight with locals, guns, and a Corona bottle to the face that left Anya stitched up—plus the dark truth about how these stories happened before everyone had a camera in their pocket. This one’s for every stylist who’s ever felt judged, underestimated, or told they “can’t” do it.
