Being a parent doesn't stop when your kids become adults. In this personal solo episode I get candid about one of the hardest parts of parenting grown children. Learning when to speak up, when to stay quiet, and what happens when your child doesn't want to hear what you have to say. If you're an adult parent trying to figure out where the line is, this one is for you.

In this episode of Kim's Chair, Jules Heron of Hair for Humans in Portland, Oregon gets real about why so many clients leave the salon without getting what they asked for, why quitting color was the best business decision they ever made, and how going all in on what they actually love led to 750,000 followers across four platforms and $12,000 months on Facebook.Jules also breaks down the Facebook reposting strategy that changed everything, why consistency and authenticity will always outperform perfection, and what it really means to build a clientele around your strengths rather than what you think you're supposed to be doing.This one is for every stylist who has ever felt stuck doing something they hate just because they thought they had to.✨ Jules Heron – Hairstylist, Hair Educator & Owner of Hair For HumansBased in Portland, ORIG: @hairforhumansTikTok: @hairforhumansYouTube: Hair For HumansWebsite: https://www.hairforhumans.com🛍️ Shop Virtue Labs through my link:https://www.virtuelabs.com/en/stylist/Kim-Allison✅ Subscribe for more conversations with the voices reshaping the beauty industry.Click Here For More Info: https://linktr.ee/TrendywithKimAllison– Listen on Spotify, Apple, and all podcast platforms.– Follow @trendywkimallison on Instagram and TikTok.TIME STAMPS:00:00 – Intro & Welcome00:59 – How Hair Found Jules02:35 – Why Clients Don't Get What They Asked For06:33 – Trans Identity & The Hair Industry10:01 – Is the Hair Industry Actually Inclusive?17:27 – How Long Jules Has Been in the Industry18:20 – The $12K Month on Facebook19:06 – Why Jules Quit Color & What Happened Next24:17 – Content Creation & Growing to 750K Followers27:05 – The Facebook Reposting Strategy32:17 – Consistency Over Perfection36:14 – The Power of the Consultation40:07 – 60 Second Blowout Game43:04 – Where to Find Jules

I got my lab results back and I'm sharing everything. In this episode I walk you through my full hormonal panel, what my doctor loved, what she told me to throw out, and exactly what we're adding to my treatment plan going forward. The big takeaway — I'm officially postmenopausal, my estrogen is basically nonexistent, and we have a plan. I'm also showing you what's staying in my supplement routine, what's getting cut, and the products I'm currently using on my hair and scalp.

I've been a hairdresser for 30 years and I still wasn't prepared for what menopause did to my hair. In this episode of Kim's Chair I'm getting into everything nobody warned us about. Why your hair gets dry, brittle, and starts thinning. What estrogen actually does for your hair and what happens when she leaves. How follicle miniaturization changes your hair's texture and growth cycle. What to look for in your labs including ferritin, thyroid, iron, and vitamin D. Why inflammation might be the root cause of everything. I'm also sharing the products I'm personally using right now to treat my scalp and what I've learned about headband wigs as a protective option while your hair is in recovery mode. This is an ongoing series and I'm taking you with me every step of the way.TIME STAMPS:00:00 – Welcome to Kim's Chair02:26 – The Menopause Hair Journey07:15 – When Kim First Noticed Something Was Wrong09:30 – Estrogen Is Your Bestie & What Happens When She Leaves11:53 – Follicle Miniaturization Explained14:14 – When to See a Medical Professional16:40 – Products Kim Is Using Right Now24:30 – The Emotional Side Nobody Talks About27:30 – Headband Wig Tips & Closing🛍️ Shop Virtue Labs through my link:www.virtuelabs.com/en/stylist/Kim-Allison✅ Subscribe for more conversations with the voices reshaping the beauty industry.Click Here For More Info: https://linktr.ee/TrendywithKimAllison– Listen on Spotify, Apple, and all podcast platforms.– Follow @trendywkimallison on Instagram and TikTok.
