In this episode, Kassidy and Reese dive into the viral Hair by Chrissy TikTok conversation and use it as a jumping-off point to talk about something that's often misunderstood in the beauty industry: working with co-stylists (not "assistants") and why, when done right, it elevates both the client experience and the stylist's career.

Reese shares why she has worked with a team for most of her career, how a co-stylist model allows her to deliver a true VIP experience, and why mentorship and delegation are essential if you want to grow as a top stylist without burning out. Kassidy brings the perspective of going through a co-stylist program herself—and how that experience fast-tracked her growth, confidence, and six-figure career behind the chair.

They also talk about accountability, client experience, handling mistakes with integrity, and why kindness, leadership, and pouring into the next generation matter more than ego or online drama. This episode sheds light on what really goes on behind high-level salons, why co-stylist programs aren't about being "money hungry," and how teaching others can reignite your passion for the industry.
