Unbecoming

The secret to social media engagement is saying shit straight down the middle, no sides, and letting people take it how they wanna take it and letting them fight in the comments. Tik Tok anyway. We talk about the pendulum swinging in the hair industry, how we won't be editing in 2024. We ar enow on YouTube too! So you know there won't be edits. And if you're too scared to post your content on soci...

TW: Suicide, Mental Health The mics are blown, if you couldn't guess by the last few episodes but I had to wrap up the year with the busted ones! So here we are, if we laugh too loud it gets fuzzy, I did my best editing. Meet some new friends, expand big foot's reach to space, and my dislike for Anne Hathaway continues. This hot mess of an episode is the perfect bow on top of 2023. It was the year...

So I have decided to keep track of local folks who talk shit, and it's starting to be fun; plus the content creates itself at this rate, and I get to hear new information about myself! If you DM me on social maybe I'll name names-if I can remember. How can folks, and not just me or in Charleston, hate on random people they don't even know? It's a question my bestie and I have always asked each oth...

I have always believed in manifestation, and then recently 3 physicists were awarded a Nobel Prize for proving we live in a quantum field! Find my fave manifestation person and courses linked below! But this rabbit hole takes us down a few of my faves like flat earth, fake foods, and the moon landing.  But mostly this episode is about mindset, and what you choose to believe and how it shapes your...

My final 2024 connection with my work wife. We talk about hairdresser education, changes coming, changes happening, our mental health as educators and what we think the future looks like. All from my hotel room bed, while at our last week long program in NYC!    Follow us for more BTS and get to know us! ROSA'S Insta LAURA'S Insta

This episode I wanted to talk about a trauma therapy that changed my life, and then it also turned into how our friendship came to be. From the salon, to the therapist couch, to friendship! I can promise it's all ver ethical, and my husband thought I was a mind experiment for Chis to "test" out this new therapy. Surprise it's not new! It goes beyond the "how does that make you feel" bullshit most...

Ok let's be real, there is just a generational shift happening, some online are calling it an exchange of power; between Millennials and Boomers. I have my own opinions on this, but to get to the point, my industry has seen MASSIVE changes since 2020. Left and right and everyday; and I do not think it's going to slow down any time soon. The big one right now is education. The way our industry comm...

Now that the Generation has a hard stop (1997-2012) there is a micro generation in the midst, the Zillenial (1990-2000) and there is a huge difference. I have had younger stylists set up interviews and ghost before, but I had my first full on hire ghosting. The part that doesn't make sense was she just never said anything, skipped work, deleted the group chat app so she wouldn't get notified we we...

In this episode you get to meet my best friend!! Samon Mahas! Samon is doing something so many stylists are doing, and shaking up her way of life!! She went from a career one location ever stylist into her own small business inside a poppin' salon that primarily booth rents! I believe you can find success in any corner of our industry, Samon is just proof of that! As a progressive commission salon...

Ok this episode strain was Guava Gelato and it knocked me out of my shoes; forming sentences was hard. Kelly was sick so we got weird, since no one was there to supervise us, but this is a one take episode with zero editing. Thats rare so catch me on all platforms to get the unedited versions live on Instagram and Tik Tok - maybe I'll start a YouTube idk. But I just wanna say, I'm sorry Anne Hatha...

This is the longest episode of THC history, featuring my good friend Allison owner of Salon Sage. That being said - the least edited episode. The more I listened to it the more I realized if we didn't say it to their faces, we would. And if they didn't want the smoke they wouldn't ask for it. Who is they? You'll have to listen to find out, but its an episode of what its actually like being a salon...

Listen, I am approaching my yearly burn out and that means I am fresh outta F**ks, I made this podcast to talk shit and thats just what we do... before we get off on a tangent. Todays hemp is an exclusive strain, Red Runtz and it does not disappoint. The Hair industry here in Charleston, SC is sad, and angry at that. These folks have scarcity mentality and choose to bicker and be mean rather than...

We finish off the Gary Peyton strain today, and discuss how we haven't been able to get our gas station snacks for weeks because of a guy and a bucket... We also go into a little bit of couples relationship navigation when it comes to who decides what, what drives us crazy, and how/where we mostly fight as couples. We also take a detour to my fave movie genre horror, and whats 'classic' and whats...

Ok we recorded this before I figured out the sound but it's worth the listen! Rosa and I travel the world teaching, and she always blows me away with how she also owns a business, has a family, and climbing this ladder in the beauty industry. So if you've ever been told you cant do something because of a circumstance or another part of your dream you want; then this episode is for you. You can do...

This is a weird one, but Chris hooked us up with some Gary Peyton and it was pretty silly. Possibly the darkest episode with some TW: death, Suicide, Submersibles. Also if you like weird dark space movies, try Sunshine, I give a 9/10 for drama and suspense. The sound is almost perfect, I think at the end of the day we under estimate Chris's volume and we make him sit too far from the mic.  I also...

Trigger Warnings for mental health discussions: trauma, parenting, suicide. We start out this episode trying a new LEGAL hemp strain which turns out to be 10/10. We discuss a new book about my favorite topic, Boomer Parenting. Our generation gets a bad wrap by the generation who raised them and it's something I like to talk, and joke, about. Because I choose humor as a coping mechanism some get of...

Part of what i do is travel coast to coast teaching classes, doing beauty shows, hair, and more nationally for (in my humble opinion) the best brand in the world. Joining me today are my road parents Anne and Joe, as you learn my story you'll understand more why I force adopted them and what my therapist thinks about that. Plus you get a sneak peak into the world of backstage/on stage beauty and w...

Ok full disclosure, I have a small service dog. I chose a small breed because I travel nationally for work, but the generally public cannot f**king handle it and I don't get it. We dissect grown humans psyche when seeing a dog and the unhealthy ways they approach it as I also navigate healthy ways to deal with it. Our weekly gas station snack trip had us walking out of the gas station like "this i...

In this episode we are exploring the sound setup and the audacity of R. Kelly since we finished the final episode. Also trigger warning, this is a podcast with a therapist and a hairdresser who lives with PTSD so there are discussions of childhood traumas, dark humor, and abuse. Be aware you're all welcome, but not everyone is going to get it.

This is just the pilot episode! We think were funny and thought we also had to explain what the hell we are doing here! Hang out with us and see how this grows, and if you don't thats cool too cause it's for us too.
