Okay, I've got a beef today, and we need to talk about money versus integrity.We all feel financial pressure, but what happens when fear starts making decisions behind the chair? Today, I’m getting into why we justify taking money for work we know isn't right, how scarcity affects our choices, and what that paycheck actually costs your business in the long run. Said with love, but you know I'm not sugarcoating it.Thank you for watching, always. — Kim🛍️ 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.

Okay, I've got a beef today, and I need my fellow professionals to hear me on this one.I'm tired of seeing clients cry in their cars after an appointment. I'm tired of watching stylists blame the client every time something goes wrong. We hold a license, and right now, more than ever, that license needs to mean something.So today I'm getting into ownership, negligence, and the one thing I think matters even more than talent behind the chair. Said with love, but I'm not sugarcoating it.Thank you for watching, always. — Kim🛍️ 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:0:00 Why this drives me nuts4:30 Negligence vs. a shady client9:40 Reputation over skill set

Audra Brown is back for part two, and this is the story we didn't get to last time.She got fired her very first day behind the chair. Then she bounced from salon to salon, through walkouts, shutdowns, and every kind of chaos you can imagine. But she swears the whole time, the universe was leaving her little signs about where she was meant to end up. And when you hear how it all lined up, you might start believing it too.This one's part hairstylist journey, part something bigger. Come hang out with us.

You know the ones. They sit down, look in the mirror, and immediately start listing everything they hate about themselves.After 30 years behind the chair, I've learned it's almost never really about the hair. So today I'm getting into what's actually going on in those moments, how I handle it without piling on, and where I think the line is between being a good stylist and trying to be something I'm not.Stylists, you'll feel this one. And if you're someone who does this in the chair, come sit with me anyway.

I met Tanya on her wedding day, and we've been talking ever since. So I finally brought her to the mic.This one goes deeper than hair. We get into growing up with immigrant parents, the messages we pick up as little girls about what's "good enough," and why she's worn her hair a certain way for most of her life. It's honest, it's real, and it's a conversation a lot of us need to hear.She's a nurse, a mom, and one of my favorite people to sit with. Come hang out with us.

You think you're just sitting down to get your hair done.

Don't worry, I call myself out too.Which one are you? You'll know by the end.
