Witchcraft, Costumes & 13.5 Billion
Welcome back to the orange folder, Trendy Tribe! Picture this: your client walks into your salon, takes one look at your Halloween decor, and calls it demonic.

Ulta & JCPenney vs. Independent Hairstylists: Are We Losing the Plot?
Welcome to Salon Stories, Trendy Tribe! The internet is in a full-blown debate over independent stylists vs. corporate salons, and as a hairdresser of 29 years, I had to sound off. From the “Instagram stylist” label to Ulta, Sephora, and JCPenney vs. your independent stylist, I’m talking salon pricing, silk press prices, commission splits, salon overhead, and why clients really pay for the person, not the building. Whether you’re an independent hairstylist, a salon owner, a booth renter, or a client wondering why prices vary so much, I’m giving you the real tea on both sides of the chair, because two things can be true at the same time.

Are Black Hairdressers Late, Pricey & Rude? (ft. Erika Starr)
Welcome back, Trendy Tribe! Today I’m sitting down with hairdresser Erika Starr, the woman I trust with my hair’s life (she cut me back into my pixie, and I love it). With more than ten years behind the chair in Atlanta and now Phoenix, Erika does it all, from pixie cuts and silk presses to color, braids, and natural hair. We’re talking her journey, old school vs. new school hairstyling, and what’s really going on with the internet’s hot takes on Black hairdressers: late, unprofessional, expensive, too many rules. What do we need to hear, and what’s just noise? Stay till the end for a fun round of questions, because nobody leaves here without playing one of my games.
