We are back with another batch of salon horror stories just in time for spooky, Halloween season!

In this episode, we talk with a salon professional who dealt with the inner workings of a cult, a hairstylist who had quite the surprise when a client presented a medical issue to her in her chair (like LITERALLY presented it to her), and another stylist who had a very unfortunate and "crappy" day at work (excuse the terrible pun, you'll understand after listening!)

Thank you so much to our incredible guests that shared their stories, please write into ⁠[email protected]⁠ with your own salon horror stories to be featured in a future episode!
