A simple TikTok shoutout to a talented Ulta stylist, courtesy of Abby, went viral, thrusting Kelsey and Abby into the center of a heated debate. In our podcast chat, we dive into the stereotypes surrounding stylists in corporate chains, with Kelsey sharing insights from her time at Ulta. We discuss why your hair's best friend might be found at places like Great Clips or Ulta.

We peel back the curtain on biases overshadowing stylists' skills based on their workplace, comparing growth in corporate salons to the freedom of independent stylists. Join us as we champion the unsung heroes of hair, advocating for a positive shift beyond salon labels. Abby's viral TikTok experience and Kelsey's Ulta background lend authenticity to our discussion, emphasizing the artistry of every stylist, regardless of where they work.
