Live Your Muse

In today’s episode of Live Your Muse, we’re talking about the friendship shift no one warns you about in your mid-to-late twenties. One day it’s college bars and late-night pizza, the next it’s office jobs… and somehow only four friends remain. We’re here to remind you to show up for the friendships that matter. Life’s big milestones—babies, weddings, career changes—have a way of revealing your tr...

We’re talking all things hair industry, straight from behind the chair. From how to create a luxury experience at  any  price point, to salon etiquette tips (for both clients  and  stylists- because trust us, everyone could use a refresher), to the advice we wish we’d given ourselves fresh out of hair school. And of course… our unpopular opinions are making an appearance. Some you’ll cheer for, so...

Grab your popcorn and come hang with us for a hilarious and candid...

We went into this episode with  absolutely no plan —just two best friends catching up with mics in front of us, and honestly? It might be our favorite one yet. We’re talking about everything from how we’ve changed in the two years since opening our salon, to why we swapped vodka sodas for early bedtimes and business plans. Spoiler: it’s not because we’re boring now (okay… maybe a little). We also...

Whether you're leading the salon, working behind the chair, or sitting in it as a guest-- culture shapes the experience for everyone. In this episode, we're digging into the unspoken (but deeply felt) parts of salon culture: trust, accountability, boundaries, energy, and how people treat eachother when no one's watching. We talk red flags, leadership habits, stylist struggles, and client takeaways...

In this episode of Live Your Muse, we take a break from the usual business and real-life conversations and lighten things up with a classic game of  Would You Rather?  What starts as a simple round of hypothetical questions quickly turns into unexpected stories, honest answers, and plenty of laughs. It’s a fun, unfiltered conversation that reminds us why we started this podcast in the first place...

In this episode, we get real about  those  days—the ones where nothing goes quite right (like accidentally hitting a parked car). Katie shares the story behind a rough day that started with a busted bumper and turned into a deeper conversation about what it means to be human. We unpack the pressure to be perfect, the power of self-compassion, and how giving ourselves grace in the messy moments is...

In this episode, we’re diving into a wild chapter—sharing the story of a  very  memorable neighbor we had at our salon building. From uncomfortable encounters to learning how to set better boundaries, this experience taught us a lot about trust, communication, and the kind of energy we want around us. We’re getting real about how we navigated the situation, what we took away from it, and how it he...
