Gray Hair Isn't the Problem (Here's What Actually Is)

Gray hair. Lord have mercy, I hate her. 😅 In this Kim's Chair solo rant, I'm pulling the red folder and getting into the silver strands we love to hate. After 30 years behind the chair, gray is now the #1 topic in my chair, and honey, I AM one of you. But here's what got me while prepping this one. Is this really about gray hair? Or is it about aging? You can get Botox on your lunch break and women are looking 40 at 60, yet the moment a woman grows her hair out, everybody says "you're so brave." Brave?? For hair growing out of your head?? Why is a gray-haired man "distinguished" but a woman is "brave"? When did aging become something we're expected to FIGHT? I don't have all the answers today, Trendy Tribe, but I've got plenty of questions.

A Hairstylist Ranks Love Island USA Hair

Here's what happens when a hairstylist watches Love Island: I'm deep in the drama like everyone else, but I also can't stop grading the hair. So this week I'm breaking down the villa, from the leave-outs that are absolutely laid to the three rows of curls keeping me up at night. We're talking weaves, blends, baby hair, and who's earning a chef's kiss versus the dunce hat. And before anyone comes for me, my own hair isn't hitting right now either, so I'm grading from a glass house. 🛍️ 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.

Why Are We So Obsessed With Long Hair?

This week I'm asking something I've been sitting with for 30 years behind the chair: when did we decide that longer automatically means better? I'm getting into our obsession with long hair, why it means something completely different in every community, and how it gets tied up in our identity. Plus some honesty about my own hair journey, the thinning, the wigs, and why I'll always love a good pixie. So tell me, why is length the goal? Because I really want to know. 🛍️ 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.

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.

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.
