Snippy Podcast

We’re back at it, after a summer of *mostly* well behaved clients! Wanna hear about the ones who weren’t? Of course you do! Today’s blah blah blah also features a run-in with an unscrupulous stylist on Instagram and the return of KELLY CLARKSON CHUNKS.

A little bit about Krista’s maternity leave experience, after which she unleashes some rants she’s been holding on to for months. Also some gross stories from weird clients including OnE hOt TiP for keeping your hands moisturized during those dry winter months!

Today’s main topic is quitting your job, which is a very different experience in the salon industry vs. just about any other career. We also discuss being cheerleaders for less-than-confident coworkers, and we’ve also included a few spicy client tales as always!

It’s the busiest time of year in salons errywhere, and today we’re discussing lots of things, as per ususal–Holiday greetings, animals in the salon, clients whose mothers do their hair, shady coworkers, maternity leave, and more! Our special christmahannukwanzaka gift to you is a fun rhyming story submitted by our snarky friend B.K. You’re gonna love it!

We’re busting that social taboo of not talking about money wide open today as we discuss tipping, non-tipping, coupons/groupons, etc.

In this episode, we’re joined by our friend Kyra the esthetician. We talked about so many things! Topics include everything from serious issues like unwanted advances from clients & mandatory CE hours for domestic violence/trafficking, to not-so-serious issues like stealth farting at work. Don’t mind the heavy breathing in the background, nothing weird is happening–it’s just Krista’s 120lb American bulldog, Max!

Breaking up is hard to do, but these terrible clients had to go! Special appearance from our boss with stories of some of the over-the-top characters he’s had (and then kicked out of) his chair.

In today’s episode, we discuss the epidemic of DIY hair disasters and people who want to speak to the manager.

Hold on to your butts, today we’re talking about turning clients into friends and friends into clients! When it’s good it’s really quite nice, but when it’s bad, it becomes podcast material.

Today we’re talking about being the new kid in the salon, assisting/not assisting, and getting in where you fit in. In a slight departure from our usual format, we break in the middle of this episode for a nice chat with celebrity stylist Mia Santiago. Then we wrap things up with a snarky submission from an anonymous (but hilarious) listener.
