Beauty can be glossy on the surface and unhinged underneath. We pull back the curtain on the salon floor and the strip club dressing room, sharing the stories that shaped our craft and our coping skills: a client plotting pregnancy to “teach a lesson,” a boyfriend delivering armfuls of roses to a Brazilian appointment, and a dancer convinced her ancestry test rewrote her foundation shade. It’s raw, awkward, and hilarious—and it’s also a masterclass in boundaries, hygiene, and emotional triage.
Nicole brings 17 years of waxing wisdom, the kind that comes from fielding impossible questions and navigating oversharing with grace. Sam draws on five years backstage at a strip club plus a decade and a half in beauty, where “therapist with tweezers” isn’t a joke, it’s the job description. Together we talk consent, client expectations, and the moments where you hold your line: protecting sanitation, protecting your name, and staying human when customers test your limits. The “house mom” makes a cameo, the lobby becomes a stage, and survival humor keeps us sane.
If you work with people—barbers, nail techs, artists, bartenders, nurses—you’ll recognize the playbook: short, clear communication, clean tools, firm boundaries, and a laugh ready when the room tilts sideways. The glam is real, the grit is real, and between them lies the craft. Hit play, ride the chaos with us, and learn a few tactics you can use at your own station. If you enjoyed the ride, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so more curious listeners can find us.
