We’re starting the year off right with The 7 Hair Truths That Only a Celebrity Hair Stylist Will Tell You, featuring celebrity hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons. Andrew counts Khloe Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and Megan Fox as clients and last year, the hair pro launched his own luxe-y, ultra-inclusive line, Andrew Fitzsimons Haircare. Price tag? Just $14 each. 

Today, Andrew debunks the biggest myths going when it comes to hair care, and what you should be doing instead. But first, we’re getting to know the man behind the magic. Listen in as Andrew reveals the heartfelt reason he dropped out of grade school in Ireland at the tender age of 14, why he never allows himself to take a sick day and how his Mom feels about his face tattoo.

This week we’re getting back-to-skincare-basics and the topic is: exfoliation! "Rihanna-Approved" esthetician Sean Garrette knows as much about beauty products as he does your epidermis. Featured in Vogue, Allure and InStyle, the New York-based facialist and newly minted Dior Beauty ambassador is making the world of skin accessible, inclusive, genderless – and stylish af (just check out his dreamy Instagram feed.)

In this episode, Sean breaks down the right way to exfoliate your skin – from the cleansers, toners, tools and tricks you need for your skin type –  at every price point. Plus, we find out the under-the-radar exfoliating ingredient he recommends to his clients most, and the reason he thinks that dry brushing your face isn’t a good idea, no matter what the headlines say.

Who’s winning? Who’s losing? And who’s about to pop-off? Joining us for our annual “Beauty Year in Review” episode is Dulma Altan, the entrepreneurial creator whose “TikTok Business School for Women” content has everyone in the beauty biz taking notes. Whether she’s ‘splaining what private equity is using Kim Kardashian’s empire as fodder, or schooling us on who makes for a successful C-Suite using a Vegas girl’s trip as metaphor, Dulma’s sharp take on the beauty industry makes her the perfect guest to weigh in on which brands slayed this year, and who better watch their back in the year ahead.

Plus! Tune into Dulma’s podcast, Due Diligence, where we’re guests this week. We’re  taking the lid off the whole Girl Boss trope with POVs on what that term means going forward, where beauty innovation is headed and how we’ve managed to grow our own brand as magazine editors-turned-podcasters.

• Our hot takes on the year in headlines – Hollywood’s “Ozempedemic,” Alessandro Michele’s Gucci departure and… is this the next K18?
