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

$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.

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.

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.

Alfredo Lewis Launches QOAT: The First Top Coat for Hair Color

You guys… he DID it. Alfredo Lewis just dropped QOAT, the first-ever professional hair color top coat, and let me just say, she is THAT girl. Think top coat for your nails, but make it hair: she seals, she shines, and she stops your color from fading the second you leave the chair. Five minutes at the back bar and your color actually LASTS, honey. But this convo? It's so much more than a product. We get into the three-year build, taking our power back as stylists, trust, and why this little bottle is about to change the whole game. You're gonna love this one.

Why Your Hair Color Always Fades? And the Product That Finally Stops It!

Okay you guys, let me tell you about Alfredo Lewis. Master colorist, 30 years in the game, over 2 million on TikTok - and an innovator who finally solved the thing we've ALL been frustrated about: color that fades wash after wash, no matter how many bond builders and purple shampoos you throw at it. His answer? QOAT. Instead of protecting the color from underneath, he put something ON TOP to lock it in — like a top coat for your hair color. Three years in the making, and it's here.
