Tell Me About Your Hair

Brandon Chavez shares how dance, joy, and community shaped his path from leading Zumba classes to serving as president of Orange County Pride. He opens up about coming out young, navigating faith and family acceptance, and why visible, welcoming spaces still matter. Along the way, the conversation touches on confidence, self-expression, chosen community, and, of course, a few memorable hair stories.

Today, we’re not just drinking tea—we’re spilling it. Keri and Julee kick things off with the stories hairstylists usually save for after work: embarrassing salon mishaps, clients who cross a line, hair disasters, and the moment you realize a client relationship just isn’t working.

From a pants-splitting salon emergency and a shampoo-bowl soaking to burnt bangs, a 16-hour color correction, and the client who asked, “Do you even have a license?”—nothing is off limits. Along the way, they get real about owning mistakes, rebuilding trust, setting boundaries, and knowing when the kindest answer is “I can’t safely do that.”

Plus: state board stories, salon gross-outs, and the unforgettable client Keri finally had to fire. Pull up a chair and spill the tea with us!
