This week, I’m chatting with Zoey, a TikToker who spent $4,000 at Habit Salon for hair extensions, color and services.
She walks me through everything:
the $2K deposit
how the appointment was booked
what the day in the salon really looked like
assistants, timing, environment, influencers
the highlight, the extensions, the final result
and why she says, “I love my hair… but I’d never go back.”
As a hairdresser’s hairdresser who’s been behind the chair for almost three decades, I’m not here to bash anyone. I’m here to talk about value, expectations, transparency, and professionalism in an era where a single appointment can cost as much as a vacation.
We also get into the “Hair in 4K” merch, the online mocking, and how that landed from Zoey’s perspective as a paying client.
This conversation is messy, honest, and important - especially if you’re a stylist, a future stylist, or someone who’s ever wondered,
“Is that price really worth it?”
Today’s solo episode is a breakdown of the Hair by Chrissy / Habit Salon situation - not for drama, but for the lessons every stylist and client needs to hear.This situation is messy… and honestly, it saddens me.But it’s also a masterclass in how important it is to manage expectations, communicate clearly, and remember the power we hold as stylists.Clients remember how you made them feel long before they remember what they paid.You don’t need millions of followers.You need integrity, consistency, and respect for the person in your chair.PLUS:I reached out to a TikToker named Zoey, who recently shared her personal experience at Habit Salon, and she agreed to come on the show.Our full conversation airs this Sunday on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts.You won’t want to miss it - I asked her everything you’re wondering, and she was open, honest, and thoughtful. It was a really good conversation.✅ Subscribe to the channel for more interviews with the icons redefining beauty and trending beauty news!

Jenna Caldwell is back and booming. In this episode we dive into The Colorist Blueprint—her fast-growing, science-first education platform. We unpack why micro-encapsulated developers matter, what those blue/red/yellow dye molecules actually do in the hair, timing drills, and the shift from “blonder is better” to health, shine, and longevity.
Inside the Blueprint: a three-part path (chemistry & formulation → hands-on drills & placements → business systems) plus scripts and templates to raise prices without the ick. Jenna shares how she went global in 7 months, why accessibility for new stylists matters, and teases upcoming classes on reds, corrections, and social media.
We wrap with my new game Head Rush and a quick plug: Jenna is headlining the Independent Beauty Show (Rochester, NY).

Guest: Nikkalena Caforio, RN — Chief Operating Officer at Authentic Medical Weight Loss & Wellness — joins Kim to unpack what stylists and clients really need to know about GLP-1 weight-loss medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro/Zepbound). They dig into who qualifies, the ethics around “a few pounds,” the compounding ban, cost and insurance, what happens when you stop, side effects and safety guardrails, why you must pause before anesthesia, hair loss (telogen effluvium), “Ozempic face,” and where GLP-1s are headed next.
In this episode:
Medical need vs. vanity: how clinicians draw the line
Compounded products, “gummies,” and what changed
Cost/coverage realities & whether GLP-1s are lifelong
Regain risk after stopping and how clinics taper
Screenings & red flags (retinopathy, thyroid, GI)
Anesthesia protocols you should know
Hair loss: why it happens and what actually helps
The “Ozempic face” conversation, kindly and clearly
The future of GLP-1s: prevention and access
