    I’m not a hairdresser, I just watched your grey blending video as a customer, and this is the second video of yours I’m watching. As a non-hairdresser but fellow human, this raw, authentic, open-hearted share is so beautiful and real. As you show up in this way, you give others permission to be real too! ❤

    I feel like when you came on the scene all stylists were trying to make it from Instagram.
    Which works for hair influencers but not your averages stylist.
    We figured out to use local Facebook pages and forget Insta. I've done this myself.
    I never got one client through Instagram but got dozens from local FB groups.
