Don’t Make This Weird: Things Stylists Really Wish Clients Knew

This week, the girls open up for one of the most honest and emotional episodes yet — a real look into what life is like behind the chair. From the deep bonds they build with their clients to the stories they carry home at night, Tessa, Michelle, and Monica share what they wish every client truly understood.

They talk about the way stylists grieve with you, celebrate with you, and become woven into the biggest (and hardest) chapters of your life. They open up about doing hair for clients nearing the end of life, navigating surgeries and health struggles with the support of their salon families, and the clients who stay loyal through every season.

Of course, it’s still the Hair at First crew — so there’s plenty of humor too: clients opening their eyes at the shampoo bowl, people “helping” by lifting their head, the zoomies in the chair, and the universal stylist agreement that if you don’t like your husband, they don’t either.

It’s heartfelt, heavy, and hilarious — a love letter to the clients who become family, and a glimpse into why hairstylists are so much more than “people who play with hair.
