SPEAKER_07:

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a dope episode of Talk Your Shit. Now, the backstory is I wanted to do this for over a year, and I uh every time I would get my hair braided, I would uh tell Jess, I'm like, yo, I I want you to uh do an episode of Talk Your Shit on the podcast and scheduling and all that uh usually played a part, but I was able to actually make that happen today, so I'm really uh honored to be able to do this. Um so um in 2022 I decided to grow my hair out uh uh mainly for the the main reason my uh debt had passed and I didn't want to cut my hair again. So I was on Instagram uh and there was uh a page I was following, and in the stories it said book appointment now, and I clicked on the link and it was just this page. And I was like, these designs are dope. I gotta lock in, I gotta get this appointment. So I was shitting bullets uh when I got there because my hair was short at the time, so I wasn't sure if she was gonna be able to braid my hair, but I was praying and hoping that it would be a possibility. So uh we get the appointment started. I'm sitting there waiting, I'm like, and she's taking a while, and then I realized that she's already braided my hair. And I said, wait a minute, are you braiding my hair? She's like, Yeah, and I said it didn't even, I didn't even realize you already started braiding. And she said, that's a good thing. And I said, Yeah, because our entire life, when I got my hair braided, they always said stop being a bitch, you're tenderheaded. So um at that point, I knew I was like, this is a braider that I'm going to keep coming back to for sure. And then every time I would go um to give my hair braided by her, it was always a dope experience. And I would always like ask her a couple things and pick her brain. And every time uh I found out something new about her, I was like, yeah, the world needs to know this. She deserves her flowers. And to be able to do this today has been is this a dope, dope feeling to be able to give her a flower. So uh without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, I give to you Barbara at Jess. Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome.

SPEAKER_03:

Thank you.

SPEAKER_07:

How are you doing this morning?

SPEAKER_03:

Pretty good.

SPEAKER_07:

That's what's up. That's what's up.

SPEAKER_03:

Nice and warm. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

Uh so as we get into the festivities, uh, how long have you been braiding and cutting hair and what inspired you to do so?

SPEAKER_03:

So I started braiding hair way before I even knew I was gonna cut hair. Um, I was 11 years old, so about 28 years. And I started cutting hair 18 years ago. So um, what inspired me? I just like it. I honestly I think it's therapeutical for me while I'm braiding, braiding. Um, I like it, you know, I don't know, it's it's art with hair, you know, to be able to do designs, uh it changes your face as well. You look so different once you get your hair done, braided, haircuts, anything like that. So I really like that and make people feel good about themselves, you know, whether it be like for just because uh special events, you know, we literally when I start with someone, it usually just becomes a relationship and just goes from there from you know, any everything.

SPEAKER_07:

Um so what drew you into the special effects effects makeup as well.

SPEAKER_03:

Special effects. I don't the transformation the fact that you can transform into look something totally different with just makeup, paper, toilet, glue. I don't know if you Elmer Elmer's glue, the school glue. That's all you need, and you know, you can look like a completely, totally different person.

SPEAKER_07:

And I think it's dope uh to add on is I know in October, or the few times I got my hair raid in October, I walked in and you were jigsaw one year, and I remember I stopped and I was like, oh shit. But she completely transformed. And I asked her, and you're like, Yeah, I love to dress up as different characters. Uh, and you said you like to do it every day of the month of October, and I said to to kind of like embody that as different, it's very unique.

SPEAKER_04:

So a different one every day.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, so I do 31 days of Halloween. I try to do 31 days of Halloween.

SPEAKER_04:

I've never been that dedicated to anything. That's what I'm playing. Yeah, and what she said, that's that's dope.

SPEAKER_03:

And it's mainly the makeup, the clothes. I kind of just grab whatever I have, but it's not really the outfit, you know, it's mainly just the makeup.

SPEAKER_06:

Have you done Fred Krueger?

SPEAKER_03:

Yes, I have.

SPEAKER_06:

I feel like that would be tight.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I've done the bald cap too. Like I've gone all out. I I go all out. I literally, and you will not recognize me.

SPEAKER_07:

That's dope.

SPEAKER_06:

That's so cool.

SPEAKER_07:

Um, so what's been the most challenging or wildest appointment you've ever had?

SPEAKER_03:

The what?

SPEAKER_07:

Most challenging or wildest appointment that you've had with the Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

Um, I've I've had a few. I've had I've been in the industry for a while, so I've had a few, but the one that sticks out to me is how a client came in. She usually already knew what she wanted. And she came in and she's like, you know what, freestyle. And I was like, all right, cool. And as I'm braiding, she's like, so what exactly are you gonna do? I was like, you know, well, I'm just gonna crisscross some braids, and you know, and she only had the side done. She's like, okay, I was done. And she was disappointed. She's like, Why didn't you show me a picture? Why don't you tell me exactly what you were doing? I was like, that's what a freestyle is. You know, I have whatever I want to do. And she wanted it changed, but I already had my next appointment, was already waiting for me. I was like, I'm sorry. And she's like, Well, I'll wait till after. I'm like, no, you don't understand. I'm back to back. I can't take you after. So she sat in the lobby for a while and she was, I don't know, contemplating life. And um, she left upset, and it made me feel bad. But at the same time, it's like, no, this is what you asked for. You asked for a freestyle. And she booked again. And when I saw her that she booked, I was like, fuck, like, she's coming back.

SPEAKER_06:

But she's gonna have to fight.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I was just like, I don't know. I don't have a thought, and she asked for the same braid style that I did.

SPEAKER_06:

Oh, I was angry at her. I wouldn't even let her book in again.

SPEAKER_03:

No, yeah.

SPEAKER_06:

She wanted something for free.

SPEAKER_03:

She um and did she pay you when no, she did, she did, she did pay. Um, so I had um, I don't have it right now, but I used to have uh where you used to pay deposit prior. And um, so the card information is there. So regardless if she would have left, I would have gotten paid because I would have charged her card. But um, no, yeah, she got a lot of compliments.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, that's what I was about to say. More likely she went out there like, oh, it looks familiar. Oh, it does like yeah, she got a lot of compliments.

SPEAKER_06:

Basically, she's thirsty. That's what we're gonna say.

SPEAKER_03:

She was a Zumba instructor, so I don't know.

SPEAKER_06:

So she came across a lot of people. She probably got a lot of people, yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

Yes, some more clients.

SPEAKER_06:

Yes, yeah, that's so funny.

SPEAKER_07:

So um, you create such a dope and comfortable, engaging environment for your clients with like music and entertainment. Like we've watched movies, TV, etc. Um, where is that approach from and why is it so important for you to create that environment?

SPEAKER_03:

Because sometimes clients come in and we um the conversations are really flowing, you know? And to be able to connect with music, TV shows, movies, you know, um we have something to talk about and just start off our conversation with that. And you know, I don't know. That's the way I feel at least.

SPEAKER_07:

Like, yeah, because it definitely uh as your client, it it makes it easier because I've watched things I never would have watched, and I'm like, oh, I was watching this at the get my hair braided and now I'm invested. So and it creates like this uh like you said, an easier time because it's like if I not really in my mind to think to have a conversation, it does kind of open up like because even even if we bond over the what's going on on the screen is or listening to music, like knowing that you listen to ludicrous, etc. is it it it kind of opens up like okay, I know I know more about the person braiding my hair, that's what's like.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

Um I admire the fact that you offer uh to children on the spectrum. And can you talk about what level of patience is needed in order to do that?

SPEAKER_03:

It requires a lot of patience. Uh there's a lot of uh kids in general that you know are scared of scissors and and clippers, just the sound of it. And being on the spectrum, it just it's way more, you know, sensory um with them. And uh it literally requires a lot of patience. Um, I've I've had done it already in the past. So to be able to bring it now at the hair doctors, it's it's um a nice feeling where I can help the mom, it's because it's usually the mom that comes in, help them feel like it's okay. I I it doesn't bug me sincerely. It doesn't bug me that they're crying, you know, they're kicking. It's we're gonna get this cut done. It's not gonna look nice, you know, but it's gonna look better than what they came in.

SPEAKER_07:

I take yeah, that takes a lot of patience.

SPEAKER_03:

Caring too.

SPEAKER_06:

I like that to consider.

SPEAKER_07:

So, other than the hair and the makeup, what are your other passions?

SPEAKER_03:

I love art, art painting. Um I've done a few paint classes where I'm the instructor and you know, you just follow me, and I love to cook. Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

Uh favorite dish to make.

SPEAKER_03:

I love enchiladas, the green ones.

SPEAKER_04:

That's the only kind there is.

SPEAKER_06:

Oh, right. That's not true.

SPEAKER_03:

Have you tried the mole ones?

SPEAKER_06:

Mole is so bomb.

SPEAKER_07:

I said what I said.

SPEAKER_06:

Oh, the only sauce like in Mexican food that I haven't made. I'm afraid to make mole.

SPEAKER_03:

It's hard. Yeah, it's hard. I usually get intimidated, but oh, but but I add stuff to it, I don't just skew stuff. Yeah, yeah. Okay, your enchilada sauce though, I assume you make as an instructor. Do you do the wine and yeah, the wingership or the smoke and paint? Yeah, as an instructor. How do you do that?

SPEAKER_06:

Just staring at a blank canvas, painting in your mind.

SPEAKER_07:

I was gonna say he's painting his mind. You're staring at a blank cameras for 10 minutes, like I swore I don't forget.

SPEAKER_06:

This shit is beautiful.

SPEAKER_07:

All right, as a parent, how challenging is it to balance being present while maintaining a career and a relationship with your husband?

SPEAKER_03:

Being in this industry is not as challenging, to be honest, because I create my own schedule. And I create my schedule where it revolves around my kids' schedule. So if I need to leave, I'll I have a I try to have that good communication with my clients where it's like, hey, I'm I can't be there. But most of my clients know I don't ever do that. So if I'm doing that, it's because I sincerely can't be in the shop. Um, and I'll reschedule to a time where, you know, whether the shop is not closed, and I'll come in just for them. So it's not hard in uh the field that I'm in right now. Um with my husband, I think um from the conversations that we've had, it has been a little challenging for him. You know, I'm usually servicing men. Men is the main thing. And you know, trust is a huge thing in marriage. And for him, it in the beginning, I guess it it was challenging, but you know, I don't know. I just saw him I can't control what other people say to me. I can only control what I do. And you know, if I entertain it and all that, then that's where we're gonna have problems. And I'm not afraid to show him my phone. It's just here you go, you know, check on it. But now you're gonna get your heart broken because you're gonna see the messages that I get. But if you read, you know, am I entertaining that? Am I not? So I mean it is how long have you been with your husband? We've been married for we're going on 19 years. You said 19? 18. 18.

SPEAKER_06:

Oh, so he's been there since the beginning of being in your career.

SPEAKER_03:

Yes, but I wasn't I didn't fully go into the shop until my kids were in school. Okay. So yes and no.

SPEAKER_06:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

That's cool.

SPEAKER_07:

Uh is there a talent or a skill you have that would surprise people?

SPEAKER_03:

Um, I guess dancing or cooking. I don't know. I love to dance, but Mexican music. Okay. Uh, cumbers. I love love to dance. I love to be spin around, you know, spin me like a tornado.

SPEAKER_07:

All right. So what's the biggest, most memorable uh tip that you've gotten?

SPEAKER_03:

Referrals. Referrals just uh so-and-so, you know, told me about you, and I'm here because of them. Uh, or when I get out of nowhere, I I'm already out of the shop, and just that text message, thank you so much for my hair. And you know, I've gotten so many compliments, and it just comes out of nowhere. Those are honestly the best tips.

SPEAKER_07:

Okay. And I have a uh because I uh watch your story. How often do you have like to uh will you go mobile to their homes to do their uh a client? Like how's like and is that a bigger price to do be able to like kind of be mobile like that?

SPEAKER_03:

Yes, it is.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't say shit. It better be. No, it is yes. I'm telling you, I'm charging it.

SPEAKER_03:

Um, and to be honest, I make it non-affordable. Uh okay, you know, because I don't want to do it. I don't want to work outside of the shop. I love the shop, I love having my little space. But if you're willing to pay me, yeah, you know, that's what I was thinking.

SPEAKER_07:

I was like, man, there, yeah, she that she must she has to charge a good amount because I wouldn't want to just yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

I feel like it's a comfortable experience just in the shop. Like when I have to take my stuff with you, with me, I mean, um, it's just I don't know, it's you're gonna have hair in your home, you know, like it's I don't know.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, yeah. So what advice would you give someone considering a career in hair or makeup or shit, even uh instructing?

SPEAKER_03:

Don't fall in love with the money, fall in love with with the craft because if you love what you're doing, that one's saying if you love what you're doing, you're never working a day in your life. That it's I love, I mean, in the morning getting up. It's just like, oh, I have to go to work, you know. But when I'm in there, I'm going, I love hearing the stories, conversations, like uh traveling, uh family, whatever. All the tea, give it to me there, you know. And it's and then after we're done and when they're happy with what you know I've done, like that's that's the main thing for me. Like, yeah, money, money's just a plus. The fact that I can get paid for it, it's a plus. So if whatever it is that anyone does, just love it. Love what you do.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_07:

So I always ask this, but I gotta ask them first. Are you guys ready?

SPEAKER_05:

I think I know, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_06:

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_06:

All right, just has he ever been on anybody's list?

SPEAKER_07:

What are your top five dead or alive MCs?

SPEAKER_03:

I think I have top four.

SPEAKER_07:

Okay, we'll take that.

SPEAKER_03:

SPEAKER_07:

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_06:

Should I add I'm dyslexic?

SPEAKER_05:

Oh well, now you're gonna make me feel bad.

SPEAKER_06:

Yeah, feel bad.

SPEAKER_01:

Don't live on it.

SPEAKER_06:

Shouldn't it be like that?

SPEAKER_04:

She said live in it. You said ludicrous.

SPEAKER_06:

Is that in order?

SPEAKER_03:

Um, yes. It was yes. I I listened, I'll put bone thugs always. Really? Bone thugs and then ludicrous.

SPEAKER_06:

Do you like um, I feel like sometimes like when you get in an Uber, like people like read me like to put on specific music. I feel like it's for me. Do you like read your clients? Or or even if it's like like you've been going to her for a while. So do you have clients to where you kind of know what what you're gonna put on, or are you just usually putting on what you want to hear?

SPEAKER_03:

I usually put on what I want to hear. She's like, I'm not doing it. No, yeah.

SPEAKER_06:

Um I'm the one working for this, not for real.

SPEAKER_03:

But usually they'll like how he says he listens to something or he's watching something, it's like I gotta, I haven't heard this in a while. And then conversation starts going from there.

SPEAKER_06:

Yeah, my my oldest daughter braids hair and she's always playing music, and I can she braids hair out of my house, of course. But you get your cut, you get your cut? No, hell no. Well, she does she does my hair for free, but I gotta get in where I fit in. As you see, there right now. Um, but yeah, so she plays music, and I a lot of times I'll hear like if she gets like older, because she likes older, like 90s music, and you'll hear like older people, maybe around my age or older, they'll be like, girl, how do you know this song and stuff like that? So I understand how it's like a conversation piece when it comes to music and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_03:

And I get that a lot, like when I hear I'm listening to something and they're like, Wait, how old are you? And I tell them, and they're like, Wait, you don't like your timeline that you gave?

SPEAKER_06:

I was like, nah, like I got that because you do look very young.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I'm I'm gonna be 39 this week.

SPEAKER_04:

I also feel like if you're right in here, it's kind of like the same rules of driving. She's driving, so she could you don't touch the radio.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, no, but then there are a few clients it's like, hey, can I change it? But it honestly messes with my vibe.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, you know, you don't want a messed up vibe.

SPEAKER_06:

Get in your hair.

SPEAKER_07:

Doing your hair like you're like, you know what? Freestyle, fuck it.

SPEAKER_06:

Yeah, that's like can I change it?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, when you're in your car.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06:

Can you leave? You can change it.

SPEAKER_04:

You listen to whatever you want. Why don't you leave here?

SPEAKER_06:

Right.

SPEAKER_04:

That's awful.

SPEAKER_06:

Makes a lot of sense.

SPEAKER_07:

I was uh, see. My brain took it somewhere. See, oh no. Because I was like, if you freestyled and somebody pissed you off, and I was like, you could spell something in their head, what would it be?

SPEAKER_03:

I I can.

SPEAKER_07:

Like, yeah, so what would it be?

SPEAKER_03:

I'd probably draw a dick. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

I respect it.

SPEAKER_03:

Dickhead, you know? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

How much can I pay you to put a dick in McFly's head? No. No. You wouldn't know until the dick.

SPEAKER_02:

No, I know. He falls asleep sometimes, so he would not know. You know what? I can do it in the back of his head. That'd be cold.

SPEAKER_07:

Just walking around the job, just like, what's up, dickhead? Excuse me?

SPEAKER_06:

Yeah. No, I thought you was cool with it because you got some balls on your shoulder.

SPEAKER_07:

What are we talking about? Like, I have courage. Yes.

SPEAKER_03:

What do you mean, balls in my I would do like the two little space buttons in the back? It would just slip.

SPEAKER_07:

I just got a visual.

SPEAKER_01:

You broke it? You didn't use the button. No.

SPEAKER_07:

But so fucked up is my brain stuck it there because it's like if the it was two buttons and then the dick was going up, and then you make brave designs where it spouts out.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, so now it's ejaculated. Yeah. Yes.

SPEAKER_07:

I'm a visual person and I just got a whole bit.

SPEAKER_06:

No, this is not pause. This is a lot of penis too.

SPEAKER_07:

Super pause.

SPEAKER_06:

It's not pause. Maybe it's a pause for me. It's just too much.

SPEAKER_07:

Pause breaker.

SPEAKER_03:

You asked, I answered.

SPEAKER_07:

I I respect it.

SPEAKER_04:

Um that's crazy though.

SPEAKER_07:

But uh I do generally want to say thank you. Um the the process and and the braiding is like to me it's therapeutic and um you make it a very, very comfortable environment to be a part of because me, I'm very introvert into myself, but uh when I go to get my hair braided about you, it's always pleasant, it's never like this weird uh energy. And um, like I said, I wanted you to be able to talk your shit, and like even you could see that their reactions to the things you said is like the world should know that. And um, and the fact that you are a very uh unique person and and how you approach things, uh, it it needs to be complimented. So um thank you for being here this morning. Uh I'll keep coming back to you, and uh also I'll keep advertising as a welcome billboard, just not a dick on my head. Uh what about two dicks? Nah. That sounds like a fucked up rap name.

SPEAKER_04:

Um you got a song with two chains.

SPEAKER_07:

Uh-uh. And too short.

SPEAKER_06:

We appreciate it having you. Yes. Thank you.

SPEAKER_04:

Go ahead and shout out to uh give the people all your socials and all that stuff. You ain't gonna give me a pricing.

SPEAKER_03:

SPEAKER_07:

Right around the corner from north.

SPEAKER_06:

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh that's that's we do it all there. One stop shop. You don't have to go anywhere else.

SPEAKER_06:

Have you watched my five-year-old pair? Do they do that in there? Because I'm just sick of that. Yes.

SPEAKER_03:

Blow dry everything.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay. So is there is there a crabs game in the back?

SPEAKER_07:

I'm sure there can be. I mean, where you're at.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm just just thinking about all the the typical things you would find in a black barbershop. It's like a crab game, somebody's selling bootleg CDs, movies.

SPEAKER_06:

This is not the hasn't. No.

unknown:

No.

SPEAKER_06:

Nothing. I need nothing. That time has passed.

SPEAKER_05:

Somebody got somebody got to hook over some fake philosophy. I don't like that. That's probably still gave me trauma right there.

SPEAKER_04:

I'll work, huh?

SPEAKER_05:

Nah, I remember one motherfuckers cut my hair. He was cutting my hair, and then halfway through my hair, somebody's coming to sell something, and then he just left for like a half hour, and I was like, What the fuck?

SPEAKER_01:

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah. But yeah, um, again, ladies and gentlemen, let's give a round of applause for Barbara Hess.

SPEAKER_03:

The coffee, there's a coffee shop. Yeah, it's fine. We don't need it. Arcade? Yeah, picture where you guys are. Okay, yeah, it's a lot of things. Literally arcade. Um my bad. I don't know. I've heard their drinks are good. I don't drink coffee, so I don't normally drink there, but they like we have a parking lot and it's barbershop parking only. Their clients and even the staff like to park there. And I had to stop during his appointment to go tell them. And I'm tired of telling them, so I went in there and it's like, this is the fucking last time I come and tell you guys. And Home Girl came and put them pause on her eye. Like, you know, I have a client in my chair, it's like all right, but then co-worker was like, no, fuck that. She she went over there and she was about to knock her shit out.

SPEAKER_06:

I'm sure there's a lot of traffic over there though. Just the area, and then you know what?

SPEAKER_03:

There isn't. No, no, it's uh it's slow to be honest. I I stay busy for the most part, but it's pretty slow. And we're trying to figure out how you know to get clients walking in there. We did lose a lot of barbers. Um, they open up their shops, you know, they we work closer to home. So I think that has to do with it as well. But uh with the barbers that are in there, um, it's slow.

SPEAKER_06:

SPEAKER_07:
