episode She Left the Army, Became a Stylist… Then Accidentally Built a Viral Brand (ft. Leah Sampson) cover

Beskrivelse

Leah Sampson is not your typical hairstylist. She's an Army vet, a colorist, an extension specialist, and the woman who clipped her mic to a knife at a restaurant and went viral for it. We talk beauty school, going independent, and what it actually takes to build a loyal clientele. ✨ Leah Sampson – Hairstylist, Colorist, Extension Specialist & Makeup Artist Based in Charlottesville, VA IG: @leahdoesmyhaircville TikTok: @leahdoesmyhaircville Website: https://www.leahdoesmyhair.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.

episode Reality TV Made Me Toxic cover

Reality TV Made Me Toxic

I just recorded a whole episode on toxicity and then realized I might be the problem. This one's me getting honest about my own toxic side, what's feeding it, and why you can't fill a cup with water and pour out orange juice. 🛍️ 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.

episode The Appointment That Changed How I Do Hair cover

The Appointment That Changed How I Do Hair

This week I'm talking straight to clients, and stylists, don't come for me until you hear me out. There's a real difference between a hairstylist who builds their business around their clients and a content creator who just happens to do hair, and I think you deserve to know it. I'm telling you about the appointment that changed how I treat people forever, the green flags and red flags to watch for before you book, and a little reminder for my fellow stylists: no audience will ever be bigger than the person sitting in your chair. Because beautiful hair is great, but people remember how you made them feel. 🛍️ 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.

The Real Reason Talented Stylists Stay Broke (ft. Carly Zanoni)

Okay you guys, this one hit different. I sat down with Carly Zanoni from The Blonde Chronicles to talk about something a lot of us are scared to say out loud.. you can be talented, fully booked, working your tail off, and STILL somehow broke. Carly cracked that code to a seven-figure level, and she keeps it so real about the fear, the haters, and what it actually takes to bet on yourself. Whether you're behind the chair or dreaming about building something bigger, this conversation is for you. Come hang. 🤍 ✨ Carly Zanoni – Hairstylist, Color & Placement Educator & Founder of The Blonde Chronicles Based in San Diego, CA IG: @the.blonde.chronicles TikTok: @the.blonde.chronicles Website: https://www.the-blonde-chronicles.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.

episode $250 for a Silk Press?! Are Stylists Losing the Plot? cover

$250 for a Silk Press?! Are Stylists Losing the Plot?

Okay you guys, we need to talk. Threads is a war zone right now, hairdressers versus clients, and the service that broke me? A $250 silk press. In this solo rant I'm breaking down where that number even comes from, why the math isn't mathing, and why clients asking questions are NOT the enemy. After 30 years behind the chair, I've got some things to say. So pull up a chair, because we're bringing some light back to it. And don't go anywhere, because this Wednesday I'm sitting down with Carly Zanoni of the Blonde Chronicles. Tap subscribe, leave me a five-star review, and I'll see you then. 🛍️ 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.

The Hard Truth About Hate (And Your Role In It)

Okay you guys, this one is straight from the heart. Hate is having its moment right now, on Threads, on TikTok, everywhere, and I am so over it. So in this solo I'm getting real about hate culture and the question nobody wants to ask: what role am I playing in it? I'll walk you through the exact questions I ask myself to check my own heart and choose peace over all the toxic noise. No judgment here, just a talk between us, the trendy tribe. If you leave this one feeling a little lighter, send it to a friend who needs it. And mark your calendar, because next Wednesday I've got the incredible Carly Zanoni of The Blonde Chronicles joining me, and you do not want to miss it.
