We may not be experts at everything but we're here to give you our opinions (and hopefully some sound life advice) regarding all of your biggest life questions! From letting go of the bitterness of divorce and dating must-haves to our least favorite things about each other and what TV show Stew wants to live in full time. It's good stuff! Tune in and hopefully, you'll snag a little wisdom along the way!

When someone asks you "What's your sign?" it's more than likely they're asking you to share your sun sign, which indicates where the sun was located when you were born. And for a lot of us, that's as much as we know about astrology. So today we're giving you a crash course in all your personalities with our friend Bailee Pili @baileepili. The realm of astrology can appear vast and daunting. Luckily, there's an entry point to be found for even the greenest beginner. So buckle up, call your mom to find out what time you were born, and then get close because we're about to explain why you are the way you are - and if everything you manifest today was written in the stars!

Easily our most exhaustive topic, assisting is the reality of our day-to-day in the salon. It's where Stew started and it's really where a hair stylist's journey begins. They are your right hand - they style, wash, dry, ready supplies we're going to use on a client - and their responsibilities grow as their talent and skillset increase. We're sharing what our assistants do, the behind-the-scenes of our very well-known assistant program, and everything you need to know about hiring or becoming an assistant. 

As stylists, we all have different training, diverse client bases, and encounter so many things in the salon on a day-to-day basis. But lately, we've been talking about the things we wish our clients knew that would make our jobs as hair stylists a little easier. Asking us to bend the rules or just understanding how much energy we put into each client would go a long way. Stew and Jessi each picked the 3 things they wish their clients knew before sitting down in their chair!

We're back with one of our favorite regulars, Michelle! Michelle aka Daddy Styles is talking to us today about investing. Having money or keeping a hold of your money is one thing but having your money work for you is a whole other ball game. Michelle breaks down the traditional investment vehicles most people know: 401K, Roth IRA, and so many more. He shows us that as money holders, we have options. And as entrepreneurs, the best time to put our money to work for us is now. And believe it or not, he may have gotten Stew to give up store-bought coffee and it just might make him a millionaire! This is an episode you're not gonna want to miss.

We asked our audience to send in their own salon horror stories and you guys DELIVERED! From chemical haircuts to clients who get physical when things don't go their way, our listeners have been put through the wringer. You're all definitely going to heaven and probably got extra bonus points for dealing with the coworker from hell. And above all, know you're not alone! This business is rough and there is a ton of pressure, but that's because it's creating a bunch of diamonds. So sit back, get comfy, and listen as hairstylists across the U.S. share tales of their own personal hells.

Hair school is a special time in every stylist's life but it can be scary that first day you're on your own and even scarier when you don't feel fully equipped to take on the professional hairdresser world! We imagine that this is a pretty standard issue whether you went to hair school or business school. Today we sit down with fellow stylist Kaylee and talk about the 5 things we wish we would have learned in hair school!

In this episode, Jessi and Stew are joined by stylist Jenna Clyde who is an educator at JZ Styles Co. We're talking traveling, peaks & pits, their love of red wine, and what it's really like traveling with the JZ Styles team!

$24,000 is the average income of a hairstylist but believing that's all you're worth is just one of the many misconceptions about our industry. From not making good money to it not being a serious career, there are so many untruths out there. We're talking about the friend that always asks for a discount, the client that asks if you can just "slip them in" last minute, and the catty gossip that is non-stop. It's time to elevate your craft and ditch those misconceptions that are holding you back!

We're back at it with Jessi's BFF Christina and the rest of the crew to discuss Taylor's ultra-famous 1989 album and the songs that changed our lives, We're a little older and a bit wiser but that doesn't stop us from turning into blubbering disasters any time our favorite Taylor Tune gets played!
