We’re catching up on our summers, talking about why we’re so excited for the “ber” months, and then getting into a topic we could probably talk about forever: what hairstylists wish clients knew.

We talk about everything from knowing what an inch of hair actually looks like, what a “trim” really means, and the difference between bangs, layers, and the words clients use to describe the haircut they want. We get into why inspiration pictures are so helpful, when shampooing actually matters for a service, and why some questions that seem obvious to stylists definitely aren’t obvious to clients — and vice versa.

Then we get into colour consultations: why your hair history can mean the last five-plus years, how much previous colour can still be living in your hair, and why knowing exactly what has been done before matters so much. You even get a real-life glimpse of us formulating colour mid-episode while we explain why every colour line, base tone, and formula works differently.

Basically, this episode is a translation guide between clients and hairstylists: what clients say, what we hear, what we’re trying to figure out, and how better communication can make the whole appointment easier for everyone.

And, of course, we finish it off with games.

Back-to-school season sounds organized in theory. In reality, it’s school supplies, haircut appointments, packed lunches, work schedules, forgotten forms, stressed kids, stressed parents, and trying to somehow keep everyone on track.

In this episode of Untangle It All, Ella, Emily and Sam talk about the chaos of getting ready for a new school year from both the working-parent and hairstylist perspectives. We get into the back-to-school salon rush, balancing work and school schedules, Sunday resets, parent guilt, financial pressure, unrealistic expectations, and the things we wish parents put less pressure on themselves about.

We also finish with a rapid-fire back-to-school round and our “Untangle It” moment.. one thing each of us is trying to let go of this school year.

If your September already feels a little chaotic, this one’s for you.

We’re finally back behind the mic! In this episode, we catch up on what’s been happening in our lives and at the salon, share some of our funniest client and coworker moments, and debate a few hairdresser hot takes. We finish things off with Hair Olympics, where we vote on who is most likely to spill colour, forget lunch, drop a comb, cry over a haircut and more.

Expect honest salon talk, plenty of laughs, and the usual chaos.

Prom season and wedding season are full of beautiful hair, big emotions, tight timelines, and a little salon chaos. In this episode, we’re talking all things formal styling.. what clients should do before their appointment, what not to do on the day of, how to prepare for prom or bridal hair, and the little things that can make or break the final look.

We also get into salon event etiquette, realistic expectations, inspo photos, clean versus “too clean” hair, extensions, veils, accessories, timing, and why communication matters so much before a big day.

Then we wrap it up with AITA: Salon Edition, where we judge some formal-hair drama and decide who’s really in the wrong.

Summer is supposed to be fun… so why does the first tank top of the year feel like an emotional ambush?

In this episode, we’re talking about the very real pressure that comes with summer: body expectations, social media comparison, panic-buying shorts, feeling exposed in summer clothes, heat rage, boob sweat, thigh chafing, humidity hair, and the chaos of trying to look cute while simply surviving the weather.

We also get into summer confidence without the toxic “glow-up” pressure.. finding clothes that actually feel good, romanticizing summer instead of fearing it, unfollowing accounts that make us feel worse, and setting summer goals that have nothing to do with appearance.

Because you do not need to earn summer. You’re allowed to exist in it comfortably.

In this episode we're diving into the colourful side of salon life: blondes, brunettes, coppers, vivids, grey blending, colour corrections, and the truth about "low maintenance" hair.

We're talking about why your starting canvas matters, why inspo pics are a guide, NOT a guarantee, and what clients need to understand before making big colour changes. From blonde turning yellow, to vivid colours fading fast, to going dark after blonde, this episode breaks down the real life maintenance, expectations, and consultation conversations behind hair colour.

We end things off with Colour Consultation Court, where we judge fictional client requests and decide whether they're realistic, possible with a plan, or a hard no.

In this episode we talk all about the side of salon life people don't often see or think about. From constant sweeping, scrubbing and staying late, to the physical and mental load of working behind the chair. We're getting real about what the job actually takes and dive into the friendship side of it all. Laughter, support, chaos and inside jokes that make the hard days easier. This honest and relatable episode will add a little humour to the fact that salon life is more than just doing hair.

In this episode of Untangle It All, we step outside the salon and into the world of construction trades.

For the first time ever we’re doing a two part interview series. In Part 1, we sit down with Kayleigh to talk about what it’s really like working in trades like sheet metal, HVAC, and electrical. From getting started in the industry to what the job sites are actually like day to day, she shares the realities most people never hear about.

We talk about training, learning on the job, the challenges of working in a male dominated field, and the surprising things people get wrong about trades work.

Whether you’re curious about the trades, thinking about a career change, or just want to hear what life is like on the other side of the job site, this episode gives you a real look behind the scenes.

Part 2 drops next week.
