What Really Happens Behind the Scenes on a Bridal Day - Dear Beauty Ep. 6

This week, we're getting into all things bridal. After years of doing weddings, sometimes 50 a year before Covid, we have a lot to say about what makes a bridal day feel effortless, and what quietly turns it into chaos. We get honest about trial runs, and why they are non-negotiable, the bridesmaids and family dynamics nobody warns you about, what to actually do the day before and the day of, and the small things that make the biggest difference. Whether you're planning a wedding, sitting in someone else's bridal party, or just curious about what goes on behind the scenes, this one is full of the advice we wish every bride got before her big day. New episodes every other Friday at 12 PM ET.

Hair Loss Doesn't Wait for 45 Anymore - Dear Beauty Ep. 5

This week, we're sitting down with a special guest, Michele Tyson from Nutrafol, to continue one of the most important conversations we've had on the show: hair loss. After the response to our last hair loss episode, we knew we had to keep this one going. We get into why hair loss is showing up at every age now, the lifestyle factors and stressors quietly fueling it, what to actually look for when something's working, and why prevention beats catching it late. Whether you've been quietly worried about your hair for years or simply curious about the science behind functional supplements, this is the conversation we wish more women were having.

How to Go Gray Without Letting Yourself Go - Dear Beauty

This week, we're tackling one of the most divisive questions in beauty: to gray or not to gray. The real conversation isn't whether you go gray. It's how you do it, and what happens when "letting it go" turns into letting everything go. We get into why gray can age you ten years overnight, why so many women start to feel invisible the moment the sweats and Crocs come out, and the salon tools that actually make a difference. Whether you're trying to stretch your appointments, transition gracefully, or figure out if going gray is even the right move for you, this is the conversation you've been wanting to have.

The Pressure Behind Weight Loss Beauty Ideals - Dear Beauty

This week, we're pulling back the curtain on something women are often asked about but rarely discuss honestly: weight, the shot, and what it costs to lose weight. We get into the real stuff, the stigma around the shot, the hair loss nobody warns you about, the way fast weight loss hollows out your face, and the closet-eating patterns that started long before any of it. We walk through Marilyn Monroe to Twiggy to 90s heroin chic, and the generational comments that stuck with us ("you have such a pretty face, but…"). This is the conversation about weight and aging that we wish we'd heard a long time ago.New episodes every other Friday at 12 PM ET.Hosted by: Eva Harris & Mary MillerEva Harris:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/eva.thebeautylounge/⁠Mary Miller:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mary_thesalonexperience/Website: https://davidandmary.com/The Beauty Lounge Salon + Medspa:Website: ⁠https://www.beautyloungecarmel.com/⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/beautyloungecarmel/⁠Listen to Dear Beauty:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4LelRjuQw5ueq2QFmsPyKx?si=d2c30abea435407dApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dear-beauty/id1890509605YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DearBeautyPod/podcasts#DearBeauty #BeautyLounge #BeautyPodcast #HairSalon #BeautyIndustry #SalonOwner #CarmelIndiana #HairstylistLife #BehindTheSalonChair #WomenInBusiness #BeautyLoungePodcast #EvaHarris #MaryMiller #DavidAndMary #BodyChanges #WomensHealth #Midlife #AgingGracefully #WomenOver40 #WomenOver50Chapters:0:23 - Welcome Back0:45 - Our GLP-1 Stories1:30 - Six Years Old and 70 Pounds: Mary's Weight History4:41 - "You Have Such a Pretty Face, But..."5:53 - The Stigma Around the Weight Loss Shot6:47 - Hair or Thin: The Tradeoff8:40 - How Weight Loss Ages You11:36 - Mary's 2-Pound M&M Confession14:03 - Marilyn Monroe to Twiggy to 90s Heroin Chic18:12 - Why Hairdressers Wear Black20:39 - Sensible Weight Loss24:21 - Body Image, Dating, and Society28:09 - Fillers, Neurotoxins, and Aging

How to Prevent Hair Loss - Dear Beauty

In this episode, we get into the real conversation around hair loss , why it's hitting women harder than ever, what's actually driving it (Covid, GLP-1s, perimenopause, diet, stress), and what you can do about it from the inside out. We cover nutrition, red light therapy, scalp health, and the right products. Plus, Eva walks us through mesh integration, a new technique with only two practitioners in the state of Indiana, and why it's changing the game for women who thought they were out of options. Hair is the crown we wear every day. When you start losing it, you lose part of your identity. This one's for every woman who's noticed more in the drain than she used to.
