When I first met Mandana it was at Ken’s Artisan Bakery up on NW 21st in Portland, OR. I reached out to her because I wanted to hear more about Zibahub and what her company stands for. We spent a good hour and a half talking back and forth about work, motherhood and trying to balance it all. That was over two years ago. Since then we’ve become good friends. She’s really helped me grow, listening to my ideas about the show and she’s been a solid person to connect with.

Alright amazing beautiful peeps Episode 25: My One Year Podcasting is out! Located on @spotify, @amazonmusic, @applepodcast and @YouTube. Sponsored by @zibahub and editing by @One27_

it's been crazy! Initially this podcast was to document my journey to becoming a salon owner, but after checking out spaces, my kiddos entering the toddler phase and realizing I wouldn't be able to balance it all my perspective has changed. Well, at least for now. On the show I've met some really incredible talented individuals who not only care about their craft, are making things happen, but truly care about others. And I have realized because of this show how fortunate I am to have met them and have a great conversation.

So please enjoy the show! And I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has been on it: @laurennpdx, @that_fkry_lady, @josettepdx, @ambrosiacarey, @pdx_black_unicorn, @andrea_gildedfox, @beautyvotes, @passionsquared, @brittneyryanhair, @handsgameofficial, @aliwilsonhair, @kristencontempo, @presleypoe, @lexijohnnyhair, @rabbitbrushgoods, @authentically_dakimamarie and @jhillman_hair, @carrieblasco.

Last year like many I was feeling totally frumpy. So I booked with Jimmy Hillman. I’d been following him on IG and really admired all the work he creates. While sitting in Jimmy’s chair we talked about the hair industry, Portland and about supporting each other in this field. He then went on to tell me him and his friend Carrie Blasco are looking at opening up their own salon. Because of how he treated me as a client, the attention to detail to my haircut, and just by listening to him about his salon endeavor with Carrie I knew immediately I wanted them on the show. And Carrie is just as thoughtful, kind and authentic and it was such a treat to interview her as well. And by the way guys. This is our third attempt at interviewing and I’m so glad I nailed it this time! LOL!

If you are a stylist looking for a new hair home Concrete treehouse Salon or a client interested in listening to three stylists who are incredibly passionate about hair you won’t want to miss this.
