In this low-key episode of Sheer Therapy the OG stylists talk honestly about burnout, the physical toll of working behind the chair, and the importance of taking breaks and vacations to stay healthy and happy in the job.

They also celebrate salon camaraderie, the ministry of listening to clients, strategies to cope with aging bodies, and why many plan to keep cutting hair as long as they can.

Stylists talk mentors, career changes, and how learning from many people shaped their techniques—covering everything from perms and caps to modern balayage and wolf cuts.

They share real salon stories about consultations, safety mishaps, honest advice, and why clear communication and continual learning are key to trusted client relationships.

Episode 2 of Sheer Therapy welcomes new stylist Christa and explores how hairstylists often act as informal therapists. The hosts share stories about clients, emotional moments, memorable mishaps, and the unique trust built in the salon chair.

They reflect on the emotional highs and lows of the job—weddings, funerals, surprising confessions—and how touch, conversation, and long-term relationships shape their work and lives.

Welcome to the salon! We’re five stylists, different ages and different journeys — sharing how we each found our way into hair and what it’s like growing together behind the chair.
