In this episode of Moo Chats, Amy sits down with the wonderful Donna – aka Ocean Moo 🌊🐮

Donna has been part of the Mooeys herd for over 8 years, which in salon life is practically a lifetime. She’s seen the business through growth, chaos, Covid, Car Fest madness and the huge leap into salon management.

But when Donna first started, there was one thing that terrified her…Intimate waxing.

So much so that Mooeys’ structured intimate wax training programme was actually designed around helping Donna overcome what we lovingly called “Fanny Fear.”

Now?
She’s one of the best waxers in the business.

In this episode we chat about:

✨ Why Donna has stayed at Mooeys for nearly a decade
✨ Supporting working mums in the salon industry
✨ The reality of stepping from therapist to salon manager
✨ What clients really come back to salons for
✨ Why intimate waxing isn’t as scary as people think
✨ And of course… the Moo Chats closing question: what’s for dinner?

Expect honesty, laughter, a bit of industry truth, and a lot of heart.

She nearly left the industry after burnout, bitchy bosses, and a full-blown mental health breakdown. But Lydia didn’t just stick around — she levelled up, big time.

In this raw, honest episode, Amy sits down with Lydia to talk about:

• 💅 Nail trends, overlays, greenies, and builder gel myths
• 🧠 Therapy, dyslexia, and surviving toxic salons in her teens
• 🫶 Why Mooeys was the first place that finally felt safe
• 🔥 How she’s going from therapist to in-house trainer — and building her own version of success

It’s funny. It’s fierce. It’s got steak baguettes and emotional breakthroughs. If you’ve ever worked in beauty, been written off too young, or needed a reminder that people can grow in the right environment — this one’s for you.

She’s been with Mooeys for over a decade, raised two babies along the way, and still bloody loves coming to work. Lauren — aka Chatty Moo — is one of our most loved humans, and in this episode, Amy gets her talking (not that she needed much encouragement).

They dive into:

• 💅 How Lauren went from waxing and spa life to running her own Mooeys salon
• 🤯 The wild ride of motherhood and management (simultaneously)
• 👻 The unseen magic of Mooeys — and yes, some witchy vibes too
• 💬 What it really takes to build confidence, trust, and a team that gels
• 🐄 Why she’s still here after 10+ years (and why she’s not going anywhere)

This is a story about loyalty, leadership, and laughing your way through the chaos. Whether you’re in the beauty biz or just love a good honest convo, this one’s full of heart, humour, and the real sh*t no one else talks about.

Spoiler: We also talk titty toenails. You’ve been warned.

Jade Freeland thought she was just joining a salon.
Nine years later, she’s part of something much bigger.

In this first episode of Moo Chats, Amy sits down with Jade — aka Eco Moo — for an unfiltered conversation about leadership, loyalty, wax obsessions, awkward client moments, and why working in beauty therapy is way more emotional than most people realise.

You’ll hear about:

• How Jade climbed from therapist to ops leader (with a baby in the middle)
• Why she loves nose waxing and ingrown hairs (yes, really)
• The emotional weight of managing a team — and how she handles it
• Why clients treat beauty therapists like secret keepers
• The truth about the beauty industry’s sustainability problem

It’s funny. It’s honest. It’s the kind of chat that sticks with you.

In this first episode of Moo Chats, Mooeys founder Amy Lewis shares the story behind the podcast, and the reason Mooeys exists in the first place.

Started over twelve years ago from a spare room at home, Mooeys was built on a simple idea: real community, genuine connection and taking care of people properly. In this episode, Amy talks openly about why Mooeys has always been more than a beauty salon, the power of the conversations that happen in salon every day, and why reconnecting with people and community feels more important than ever.

This episode sets the tone for Moo Chats.
Authentic conversations from inside the Herd. Expect honesty, warmth, laughter, and a look behind the scenes of a brand built on people.

Whether you’re part of the Mooeys community already, work in beauty, or simply love real conversations, you’re very welcome here.

Come on in.
