In this episode of HAIRIFFIC with Han, I’m sharing my personal journey of what it was really like fresh out of cosmetology school — the mistakes I made, the lessons I learned, and the advice I wish someone had told me sooner.

But it’s not just my experience! I’ve also gathered insight from some incredible industry pros who are sharing their honest advice on what new stylists should and should not do as they start their careers. From assisting to social media, building a clientele to protecting your energy — this episode is packed with the real talk we all needed in year one.

Special thanks to:

✨ Kristi Day - @dropdeadkristi

✨ Mary Ott - @maryh.ott

✨ Stephanie Lawrence – @hair_princess_steph

My stylist friends who shared their wisdom — thank you for pouring into the next generation of this industry. 💛
