What starts as a conversation about kids invading beds and husbands with lava-hot hands quickly turns into a wildly unhinged (and surprisingly deep) discussion about useless superpowers, horse-sized ducks, laser boobs, and autobiography titles that absolutely should not be published. Along the way, the girls open up about trauma responses, control issues, always being “the prepared mom,” and the emotional weight women carry long after the kids grow up. It’s chaotic, heartfelt, hilarious - and very on brand.

In this wildly off-the-rails episode, the girls recap holiday survival mode, losing track of time entirely, surprise favorite Christmas gifts, and the universal truth that when you’re done hosting; you’re done. They talk New Year’s goals, working through midnight for Fermaglo, falling down in underwear on Zoom, and clients who remind us that sometimes… you’ve earned the right to not care anymore. Toss in competitive board games, open-house parties, and a legendary conversation about nicknames we probably shouldn’t be saying into microphones, and you’ve got one of the most Hair It Ferst episodes yet.

This week, the girls open up for one of the most honest and emotional episodes yet — a real look into what life is like behind the chair. From the deep bonds they build with their clients to the stories they carry home at night, Tessa, Michelle, and Monica share what they wish every client truly understood.

They talk about the way stylists grieve with you, celebrate with you, and become woven into the biggest (and hardest) chapters of your life. They open up about doing hair for clients nearing the end of life, navigating surgeries and health struggles with the support of their salon families, and the clients who stay loyal through every season.

Of course, it’s still the Hair at First crew — so there’s plenty of humor too: clients opening their eyes at the shampoo bowl, people “helping” by lifting their head, the zoomies in the chair, and the universal stylist agreement that if you don’t like your husband, they don’t either.

It’s heartfelt, heavy, and hilarious — a love letter to the clients who become family, and a glimpse into why hairstylists are so much more than “people who play with hair.
