Two Years In & I'm Just Getting Started

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.

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. This is just my little solo recap to get you ready, because Alfredo's full episode drops this Wednesday — and trust me, you do NOT want to miss it. I asked him every single question my mind could think of, and he broke it all down. Hit subscribe so you don't miss it.

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

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.
