Sweeping, Scrubbing & Sisterhood

In this episode we talk all about the side of salon life people don't often see or think about. From constant sweeping, scrubbing and staying late, to the physical and mental load of working behind the chair. We're getting real about what the job actually takes and dive into the friendship side of it all. Laughter, support, chaos and inside jokes that make the hard days easier. This honest and relatable episode will add a little humour to the fact that salon life is more than just doing hair.

SPEAKER_01 0:06

Welcome back, everyone. You're listening to Untangle It All with Ella, Emily, and Sam. The podcast where the salon tea is hot. Clients are iconic and nothing is off limits. Let's dive in. Hi.

SPEAKER_02 0:20

Hello. It's been a minute. It's been at least three weeks.

SPEAKER_01 0:25

Yeah, and this is not our part two with Kaylee, but stay tuned. That is coming next week.

SPEAKER_02 0:29

Yes, we know you all love Kaylee. We love her too. But she'll be back with She will be back with part two. Yes. And it will be awesome.

SPEAKER_01 0:37

Next Saturday is a fun next day. So it's coming, but with sickness and vacations and sickness and sickness and sickness and sickness. They weren't that sick. Geez. We've all been pretty shitty.

SPEAKER_02 0:53

We've all caught some stuff, that's for sure.

SPEAKER_01 0:56

Our 75-month winter. It's just been a rough go, but we're making our videos every day. It's just we haven't really had the time to sit and yeah, but we got that time now. We got that time, we're making it. Yeah, so today we thought it would be funny and to just talk about like the little funny things in the salon. Like we always bitch about like sweeping and all this, but like kind of actually dive into it about like how like yeah, like I'll start right off. How much, like, if you had to think about it, do you think how many times do you think you yourself, like not everyone, pick up the broom and sweep in the run of a day?

SPEAKER_02 1:33

Every five seconds. I would say literally at least 15 times, if not more.

SPEAKER_01 1:38

Yeah, like that broom is in my hand.

SPEAKER_02 1:41

Like it's not just like for example, I checked my stats, so I know I had 14 clients today. Yes. I probably didn't sweep all 14 myself because other people might have, but I definitely swept for others and swept the shop. So I know minimum 14 times we can say, but probably closer to 20.

SPEAKER_01 2:04

I want to say at least 20 times a day. And that's each person.

SPEAKER_02 2:07

Because we're all really good. Like if we we're really good in our shop to sweep for each other. Whether you're yeah, you're not cutting, you might sweep for the person who finished, or if you both finish. So we sweep a lot. We sweep our shop at least. Like someone during the day always takes the time to sweep the shop, and someone at the night usually does. And every time we always are like, look at this pile.

SPEAKER_01 2:27

Like, I don't understand where it comes from. Like Sam, I'd say for the most part, Sam is our go-to during the day. She's sweeping not just like the stations. And then like I'll do it, and I'm like, I literally watched her do this an hour ago. How is this messing? Same as the back room.

SPEAKER_00 2:42

Like I did the back room twice today, actually. And I'm like, how the hell is this much?

SPEAKER_02 2:47

Well, I know for me because the hair gets stuck on my cape, it gets stuck in my clips, and then when I walk, I'm gonna be it. It's a trivial hair.

SPEAKER_01 2:55

I shake off like my pants, it gets my pants as I'm walking. Monica's station is right by the desk, and when she uses her blow dryer, it blows it underneath the desk.

SPEAKER_02 3:03

I noticed that we get it under the desk too if I'm just standing there.

SPEAKER_00 3:06

Yeah, well, because everyone walks up there, you bring out your client, you kind of wipe yourself off, boom, hair. Yeah, hair everywhere.

SPEAKER_01 3:12

Yeah, and we don't even think about it. But no, like I said, you, Lorena, and Miyoko, you, I'm implying Sam, all finished cutting at the same time today. Emily was still cutting, and I had just finished a big color and there wasn't anyone there. So I went, Sam was out back, she was on her phone, like checking something, but I was like, Here, give me the broom, like let me go sweep. So I swept the three of them, and then Mioka walked and she got the broom. She's like, Oh, thanks, whoever slept. Like, we're just so used, like not used to sweeping for people, but like trying to help as much as we can. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:42

But like and then in the winter with the salt, do we sleep even more? And then mop. I know it's so nice right now because we don't have to mop if we don't have to mop every single day, twice a day. Like it feels like now when I mop, I don't care because I'm like, I didn't just mop five years ago. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 4:01

So I'd say, like, we could say at least each of us pick up the broom. I'd say at least 12.

SPEAKER_00 4:07

Okay, we'll do whatever like at least a dozen times, 10 times, like four more.

SPEAKER_01 4:12

We'll we'll do 12 to be generous, and there's always at least seven of us there. I feel like that's like 84 times in one day. That's a lot of sweet.

SPEAKER_02 4:21

That broom and dustpan, we got two brooms that dustpan get used so often.

SPEAKER_01 4:25

And like that's being generous. Like, I think it's more than that, but like, can you believe that? Yeah, yep. That is how many times like today, that broom was probably picked up 80 times.

SPEAKER_00 4:35

We were pretty busy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:37

That's insane.

SPEAKER_00 4:38

What do you find the most annoying chore?

SPEAKER_02 4:42

Cleaning the bathroom.

SPEAKER_01 4:44

Yeah. You can get yucky. Um, a client yesterday, I don't know if they were hovering or what, but it was all over the toilet seat.

SPEAKER_00 4:52

Oh god.

SPEAKER_01 4:52

Yeah, it was sprinkled on there.

SPEAKER_00 4:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:55

Yep. I personally think the most annoying chore is cleaning out like are we talking like on our own stations or like the salons? Just in general, cleaning out the stuff. In general, like in the salon. In the salon, yeah. The sinks, just because I think getting the hair that's stuck in there is gross. Oh, I don't mind that.

SPEAKER_02 5:16

Oh, yeah, I like it too. It's satisfying.

SPEAKER_01 5:18

That's weird.

SPEAKER_02 5:18

I don't even like the scum marks, whatever getting wiped up. I love it.

SPEAKER_01 5:23

I like wiping off like the bleach and stuff, but like the hair and the clump on a button.

SPEAKER_02 5:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:28

But um, my own like chore, like at my own station, I even hate getting the brush, the hair and my brush. I know it's going to. I know. Well, what's your favorite chore? Or sorry, I didn't let anybody else answer what they're least favorite chores.

SPEAKER_00 5:41

My most in the most on chore that I feel like probably dusting the product shelves. And see, that's what I was about to say is my favorite. No, the retail, the retail shelves, I mean. That's what I was about to say is my favorite. Oh my god. So many, you touch one thing, they all fall down. Oh, it drives me crazy.

SPEAKER_01 5:59

I find it like those games. I take one at a time, like I'll take one shelf and I'll take everything off and I'll wipe it and then I'll put everything back up. It's so satisfying.

SPEAKER_00 6:09

It is, but it's like, no, I don't know. But then someone comes in and then you're like, okay, well, there goes that chore. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:14

But that's why you do like one thing at a time.

SPEAKER_00 6:17

That's what I hate because then they all fall down when I touch one, and you're like, you mother trucker. Yeah. See, that's so funny. It's like dominoes, and I'm like, okay, not done though. That's so funny.

SPEAKER_01 6:28

I was literally about to say that's my favorite chore. No.

SPEAKER_00 6:30

I mean, Emily, what about you?

SPEAKER_02 6:32

Um my favorite chore, maybe what did you say your least favorite was bathrooms? Bathrooms. Like you're not favorite chore, sorry. Least favorite, I'm favorite. Whatever. Yeah. And then my most favorite, I don't know. Um, I guess. I think we're just so used to it. Just so used to. Are you sure?

SPEAKER_00 6:53

Although that one almost took you out, Kirk.

SPEAKER_01 6:59

What did you say you a favorite?

SPEAKER_00 7:01

My favorite probably sweeping. Yeah. And like filling up the back bar. Yeah, I like doing that. I do.

SPEAKER_01 7:06

Anything that's satisfying. Like for me, like I don't like dusting the shelves, but I like taking all the stuff off and putting it back. And like reorganizing the shelves. Like when Monica gets an order, she's like, you put it out. I'm like, yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:17

I don't like changing the garbages. And not because it's gross, I just find it tedious. I'm like going around out like six different garbage cans, changing the bags.

SPEAKER_01 7:24

You know what else I really don't like? And you like you'd think we'd be a little bit cleaner, being that we're all women, but we all have um ADHD and not smart brains cleaning out that goddamn fridge. Yeah. That fridge gives discs. We've been really good. We have been really good since that last time. Because we did a big clean. Yeah. I was holding the bag open, Sam was scraping. Miyoko was holding the bag open.

SPEAKER_02 7:47

And like when I tell you there was like moldy shit, Sam threw a moldy apple at me, and I thought it was a moldy piece of bun, like a bun. Because it was like it was so soft and like puffed up. Oh yeah, at me that kind of throw it in the garbage that I was getting, and like I literally was like, I was like that's garbage.

SPEAKER_00 8:09

I thought it was a bun, and she was like, that's an apple. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:12

I was out front and I heard screaming. I'm like, what? And then Emily's like, she just threw a bun at me and said I'm going, Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:20

I'm like, I'm out of here. I cannot. I literally will actually throw up with the smell of leftovers.

SPEAKER_00 8:26

You should have seen me. It was not. I know that's why I was like, I don't know why you're holding this girl because you don't like this.

SPEAKER_02 8:31

I can't I can't deal with it. I really doesn't bother me. I near was throwing up on Thursday. Like spaghetti. Open a container, a leftover spaghetti, the vomit's up. I don't know why I can't deal with it at home. That was like surrounded by people that let that not be my job. I'll do other stuff.

SPEAKER_01 8:49

Yeah. I know. But that was my that was like me on Thursday. Emily kept like It's that time of year and everyone has phlegm. And she kept like me? No, not you, other Emily, just getting the phlegm out. And I was like, oh stop. Like that will make me That'll be me in the next day or two. That will make me constantly throw up.

SPEAKER_02 9:08

What do you guys feel like that you clean constantly?

SPEAKER_01 9:12

My clippers.

SPEAKER_02 9:13

Yeah, me too. Yeah, clippers are like the little hair that gets on your station. I'm always blowing hair off my station. I hate seeing those little hairs. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:21

My clippers, but like constantly. Yeah. My tool my tools, I guess. Yeah, my tools and stuff. Yeah. It's so funny. I was actually thinking about this today because I blew off the hair after I did a cut. We always talk about like our most like used tool and everything. And now that I think about it, it's probably honestly my dryer. Just even for the three seconds I turn it on to blow everything.

SPEAKER_02 9:42

Blow the hair off the client, off the station, off whatever.

SPEAKER_01 9:45

I know.

SPEAKER_02 9:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:47

Well, speaking of like all the stuff that we do, what do you think is something that clients not would be like would be shocked and like kind of forget that we have to do a chore. For me, I'm thinking clean the bathroom because how do you not notice if you piss on a seat? Yeah. Like we have to clean that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:10

You would think most people like turn around and like look. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. You don't know. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 10:17

Yeah, I don't know. I'm I feel like maybe they think the bathrooms just because like when you think of a hairstylist duties, you wouldn't think that. But that's why they have a shop that's we don't have a cleaner come in the salon.

SPEAKER_01 10:30

Like we do that ourselves.

SPEAKER_02 10:32

Some salons or businesses might have cleaners, but like that's rare. So most places it's just the stylist. Staff or whoever they gotta clean in the last salon. I was at the same thing. We took turns cleaning the bathroom. Yeah. Especially because you should be cleaning your bathroom every day or every other day of the business. Because you have people going especially if you have a public bathroom. So if you have a you can't have a cleaner coming in every day or whatever, so yeah, that's up to us. I think that would be the chore I would probably forget about.

SPEAKER_01 11:04

And like obviously our stations, but like if we have our lovely little friends that sometimes join us unwillingly without knowing in people's hair, people forget that like we then have to basically disinfect everything.

SPEAKER_02 11:20

Her little friends, she's referring to our lice. Yeah, she didn't get what she's put down, picking up what she put down.

SPEAKER_01 11:27

But yeah, then it's a whole disinfecting thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like we don't have someone to come in for that either. That's like us. We don't throw that in the normal like laundry. We take it all, it goes right in the washer machine.

SPEAKER_00 11:38

A hot washer and lice all everything to death as much as you can. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:43

All you can do. All you can do, really.

SPEAKER_00 11:45

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 11:47

Um I think we can all collectively also agree. The chore we do the most is sweep.

SPEAKER_00 11:53

Yeah, oh, 100%. Sweeping, cleaning, laundry. No laundry. Laundry never ends up. That's always there. Sure. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:02

But I'd rather do laundry than sweep. I think I'll I like both.

SPEAKER_02 12:06

Yeah, I'm alright with both. I think we're going to be able to do it.

SPEAKER_01 12:08

I like both. Yeah. Oh. My brother's girlfriend's dropping them off. Oh, I was like, oh, what are we looking at? Yeah. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:17

Oh god. What's something that if you guys never had to do it again, what would it be? In the salon shore with it.

SPEAKER_00 12:24

Clean the retail shelf.

SPEAKER_02 12:29

Cleaning the bathrooms. Yeah, I'd probably say cleaning the bathrooms. I'm trying to clean it up. Cleaning the bathroom. It's the toilet. Yeah, I just like when I clean the bathroom, I have to have a whole system because I'm so OCD. If I feel like I have any bathroom germs on me when I walk out of the house, get me out. And I prefer I try and leave it till the very end when I'm done with my clients, and then I'm like, okay, I don't have to do any more clients. I get so sweaty and gross, so I just if we could leave that, that would be great.

SPEAKER_01 13:01

You know what I actually really enjoy doing though? Is like with that spray that like sprays in a perfect circle, cleaning the mirrors. Yes, the mirror cleaner is really nice. I love that. That's really nice.

SPEAKER_02 13:12

Yeah, it's like a foam cleaner. It's nice. I like that too. It's satisfying.

SPEAKER_00 13:17

Would you rather stay late to clean? Or not?

SPEAKER_02 13:23

Not. But I think that's something that people don't realize that we do. Yeah. People don't realize that if we cut right till eight o'clock, like we still gotta sweep up. We still have to clean up and we have to count cash.

SPEAKER_00 13:40

Yeah, but you can't, you know, you can't just be like, okay, done, leave, bye. Yeah. Leave all the hair.

SPEAKER_01 13:46

It's Saturday. We close at five. I cut till 4.57. There's a big pile of hair. Let's count the cash. Let's leave all the hair swept there. Let's leave the laundry going. Fire hazard. Like, you know, let's do all that. Like, no. We have to make sure that hot towels are turned off, the waxing pots turned off. Yeah. The towels are out of the hot towel machine. Yeah. No washers going. No dryers going. Exactly. We have to. You just if it's a lit, if it's a busy day and you're late, just make sure you sweep everyone's station. Don't have to do a big thorough sweep, but like do as much as you can for the morning staff coming in. But that's the thing is people don't.

SPEAKER_02 14:21

Something we do to reset and like close down the salon is turn the chairs to face the door. Yeah. Seems so silly, but like when you walk in in the morning and you see all the chairs are facing the door. Welcome. It's welcoming and like the floor is swept and like we're not gonna stay late and fold load of laundry. Sorry, that's gonna get less than person, but I'm not.

SPEAKER_01 14:41

If I'm if it's been a late day and we cut right till eight or right till five, I'm not staying to fold laundry. I'll do that in the morning. If it takes it in the I'll take it and I'll put it in the basket and put it out for them, but I'm not folding it.

SPEAKER_02 14:51

Neither I draw the line there because I don't mind sometimes.

SPEAKER_00 14:54

Just depends.

SPEAKER_02 14:55

Yeah, it also depends on the pay because like we also they are gonna like most businesses don't want to pay you to do unnecessary stuff. So we also gotta weigh it. Yeah, we weigh it. Thankfully, it's pretty good where there's always well, there's at least two of us, sometimes three. So usually we're pretty lucky that we're not all cutting straight till eight. So we're it's not like this is a common thing, but in the hair world, yeah, people don't realize that yeah, staying late after to clean is a hundred percent a job that we have to do.

SPEAKER_01 15:28

And it's this these next couple things are that we're gonna talk about are the things that people don't see or don't think about. And it's like next like next time you see something, you're gonna be like, oh wow, like I never thought of that. Yeah, like they do this all day. Like exactly dishes caught hair.

SPEAKER_02 15:47

Like people think that we just play with hair. We do dishes, we do dishes, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:52

I did the dishes today, and then I watched you do them again. I did the dishes at my lunchtime too. But it's crazy because I did those dishes with dish soap, like I had it full, and then I put them to dry, and then I saw you doing them again, and I saw when they dry, you see the extra bleach.

SPEAKER_00 16:05

Oh, I was I no, I didn't. I just wiped out the water from it, actually.

SPEAKER_01 16:08

Oh, no, but no, I see that. Like I've washed my own dishes, and then when I they're dry, I can see them rich. I'm like, what?

SPEAKER_02 16:14

Yeah, yeah. And yeah, we also we wash our food dishes. So we have food dishes at work. We also have glasses for clients if they want to have some water. Absolutely. So we wash those and yeah, we wash all our maybe I shouldn't have turned the ball game on because we're losing now.

SPEAKER_00 16:33

Yeah. And then like even like we do an extra step in our salon doing hot towels, actually. And that can take a few minutes to, you know, roll them and put them in the hot towel machine.

SPEAKER_01 16:45

Well, yeah, you gotta fill up you gotta fill up the bucket with the hot water, you gotta add the little bit of teacher oil, then you gotta put in the towels, then you gotta pick up towel one by one and roll it and squeeze it and then put it on the thing. Then you gotta do that 20 times or however many towels are rolling.

SPEAKER_02 17:00

Yeah, exactly. So even little things like that. 100%. And then those towels, those hot towels, they add to our laundry. Every client gets all the way. Yep. So yeah, there's a lot of laundry. Every client produces some sort of laundry. Yes, something is being used on a client that needs to be washed and laundered. Sometimes more than one. Sometimes, if it's a color client, you could have five towels and I had like six or seven towels today with my girl because she had a lot of hair. So there's a lot of laundry and a lot of dishes. And then when you do the dishes, then you get more laundry.

SPEAKER_01 17:30

So because the towel is there that you use, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:33

It's like so when you see and think of a hair salon, you definitely think of laundry and dishes. Yes. Being up there 100% as much as doing hair. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 17:44

I'd say we at least how many loads of laundry think we do in a day? Like say a Saturday, because it's busy. I'd say we I would say we at least run 10 loads.

SPEAKER_02 17:52

Yeah, or last eight. Like, it just depends. If it's a slow day during a week, then yeah, we get away with doing a few loads of there'll be times the washer's not going as often.

SPEAKER_00 18:02

But I feel like the dryer's always going.

SPEAKER_02 18:04

Yeah, I feel like the dryer's usually going.

SPEAKER_00 18:06

Yeah. With something. Mm-hmm. Big time. Yeah. But even like the physical like exhaustion. Exhaustion. Exhaust exhaustion. Exhaustion from it all. Like it's it's a hard job. Like it's tiring. It's very tired.

SPEAKER_01 18:22

Like you're on your feet all day.

SPEAKER_00 18:24

Yeah, and I find even like the last two days, like, it hasn't been as crazy busy. And I feel way more tired. Yeah, because it drug time.

SPEAKER_02 18:35

I find I've been busy this week, and I was busy this week too. I went home sick one day. Yeah. But it was it was a long day, and then you get exhausted, and then come Saturday night, we're all just like, whoop. Saturday, we're all like, we made it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:51

Four o'clock, yay. Yeah. Yeah. Like I said this to Emily. Um, a gentleman brought his dog in and he lets her off sleep. She's so good. And she was just over sitting by me. And I just finished my color, so I got down, and I was like to Emily, I'm like, I can't get back up. I know. And then Sam, I was like, my feet hurt. She's and you were like, go sit down. And I'm like, I can't. I don't want to because I knew I had done a oops, sorry. I did a color. I started her at 10 o'clock. She had a lot of hair, like long hair, and I foiled it. So 10, 11, 12, I think I had the foils in by close to one one o'clock. She left out like after 2, 2.30, maybe. Yeah. That was after I rinsed her and then toned her. So I was on my feet from 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, so 4 and a half hours right there. I took a 10-minute lunch, 15-minute lunch, shoved food in my face, and then I was back to it. And because when you're foiling, makes me so happy. I love doing color. But then I don't realize that I'm standing in the same position much longer than if I'm cutting.

SPEAKER_03 19:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:58

So I'm like, once I sat for even that 15 minutes to eat, I was like, ow, my feet hurt more. So that's why I was like, Sam, I'm like, I don't want to sit down.

SPEAKER_02 20:06

Yeah. I noticed because I got a new um Google Pixel watch like three weeks ago. So it's connected to FitnessPal. When I work, I'm getting 10,000 steps. Oh, I get it. Oh, easily, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't realize until I started wa wearing a watch how much we actually do put in a day. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Sam's gonna go check her next time. I'm at 74. So it's a lower day today.

SPEAKER_01 20:32

Mine's mine was dead this morning. So it's on it was on the charger. But no.

SPEAKER_00 20:39

And it's yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:41

See, I always feel like I get lower, but I forget that I don't sleep with mine on, so I don't put it on until I'm literally leaving the door. Like you sleep with yours on, but when you're up in the morning getting ready, you get a couple there.

SPEAKER_00 20:51

I'm like, I don't get steps in my sleep.

SPEAKER_01 20:54

No, but like when you wake up, you get you're always moving with the kids. Yes. Yeah. Like I'm just saying, that gets you like a couple. A couple.

SPEAKER_00 21:03

Oh yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 21:06

But no, and it's also mentally exhausting.

SPEAKER_02 21:08

It is. Yeah. I had a very mentally exhausting week. I can't believe the trauma dumping that happened this week. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't say this being like I I'm upset.

SPEAKER_00 21:19

Like no, everyone takes it differently. It does.

SPEAKER_02 21:21

It's another thing that people don't really think about when it comes to hairstylists. But like I had my very I've been doing this four years now, four and a half years if you encounter school. And I had my first time that I've cried in the middle of a haircut uh the other day. Yeah, on Thursday. Because their story just I don't know why. It's not like it was particularly more sad than anything else. I don't know why her story hit me, and I was like, I'm so sorry, I gotta get a Kleenex. I was like, I've never cried in the middle of a haircut, but you got me. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:52

And she's like, I'm sorry. I'm like invoking. I'm sorry. Actually, and you need to you need to tell the story now what you told me yesterday. So this

SPEAKER_02 22:00

Particular client lost their child, and she was telling me how their child speaks to them through signs all the time. They were telling me the signs, and I uh her child's name was Vince, and she was telling me this because I asked, I said, What was your son's name? And she told me, and it was beautiful, and like she ended up being my last client that day because I also was sick. Yeah. I had a really bad cold. So I ended up leaving after I finished her. Everyone thought I left because I was upset, but it was because I was sick. I know. But the weird part about this is I came in the next day and I did my very first client, and his name was Vince. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 22:47

I was when you're about goosebumps. Oh yeah. I didn't know you gave me goosebumps when you told me.

SPEAKER_02 22:52

Literally, if you look at the computer, you see she was my last client that day. The next day, my first one, Vince. Yeah, that's wild. I literally stopped. I turned to Monica and her client. I'm like, I have to tell you this right now. I can't freaking goosebumps. That's wild. So one of the signs that she told me to, which is really weird, is one of the she's moving. And so in the middle of her moving, right now, like in the last few days, she got an invoice, and the color of one of the things was like Vincent Steel Gun Green or Vincent gun metal steel or something like that. But it had his name in it. Yeah. So that's why I found it so weird then, too, that he came and then it said Vince on the receipt. I'm like, this is a sign. Yeah, this is real. I'm like, oh my, I wanted to call her. I was like, should I call her? And I'm like, holy prank. So crazy though. But just shit like that that we pick up and like it's emotional. Yeah, absolutely. We love hearing it. We want to. It just we gotta also, it's the same as how therapists and everything we just need to learn how to properly like digest it.

SPEAKER_01 23:59

I think it's just too also because like when you have a long week, or you yourself aren't having the best week, or just anything like that, it can just be the slightest things like that. That it's like, okay, that one really got me. Like that was a lot.

SPEAKER_02 24:13

I know just the way she was talking got me, and then it just was a theme this week. There was a lot of people that had a lot of heavy stuff, or around us, like in the salon a lot. Just the aura. Just the aura this week was heavy. Yeah, it was. And like you even don't realize like some people don't even have maybe a lot of people to talk to when they come sit in your chair and you know they feel comfortable with talking to you, and then you literally this is why I say that we're a hair pistol because you know, I said to another client this week because we were cracking, and it was similar to this that we were talking about, like stuff that hairstylists take on because they told me something heavy. And I said to them, I was like, We live in PEI, it is such a small place, but ever since I became a hairstylist and the stories that I hear from people, yeah, it blows my mind that this stuff is we're so ignorant and naive islanders because we think we live in this tiny little place where nothing happens, and then you get your clients that are telling you this shit, and you're like, Yeah, that's happening here, like that'd be in a movie. That's in a movie, yeah, and it's here in our little province, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 25:24

It's just very eye-opening being a hair stylist, and it just like like Sam said, we could you could be that person's person, they need to talk, yeah. They need to get it out, and then I hate it when they're like, I'm so sorry. I know like you don't ever have to apologize. We love it, yeah. Obviously, we don't love that that happens, exactly, but we love that you're able to that we're your safe space.

SPEAKER_02 25:46

That's all I ever I think that's all any of us want. We want to make sure we're their safe space.

SPEAKER_01 25:51

As unhealthy for you to keep that all boggled up.

SPEAKER_02 25:55

And like what a vulnerable place. It is a vulnerable place and situation. There's somebody touching you, your hair, your hair could be your security blanket, whatever, and then it's easy to open up to that person when they're all in your space and it's absolutely an intimate moment.

SPEAKER_01 26:10

And sometimes they're in getting their hair cut, getting ready to go to a wake, getting ready to go to a funeral. We've had people come in and get their hair done before their wedding.

SPEAKER_02 26:19

I did my first cut not long ago. I shaved their head. They cancer. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:23

And how many hairstylists you hear that all the time? Yeah. That they do that.

SPEAKER_01 26:27

Um, I was doing a guy that comes in. You guys know him. Not gonna say anything names on here and stuff, but he's in quite often. He gets the same haircut, and he said to me, He's like, Oh, you've done my hair a couple times now. I'm like, Yeah, he's like, Well, I guess I can tell you why I'm doing this. I was like, Okay. He leaves the top all along and he just gets the sides shaved, and he likes the disconnected look. And the top is almost to the very back, and he's like, You're gonna keep seeing me until I'm like, got a ponytail. I'm like, okay. He's like, Yep, once he gets ponytail, I'm cutting it all off, give it to Cancer. And that's the second time or the third time he'll be doing it. He's done it twice before. I'm like, that's awesome. So he comes in, he just keeps the sides nice and short, and he's growing out the top. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_02 27:12

That's nice.

SPEAKER_01 27:13

Oh, that's cute. I like that too. And he's like, Yep, I've done it twice.

unknown 27:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:17

So you're gonna see me till I have a ponytail.

SPEAKER_00 27:19

Yeah, like the stories that we hear.

SPEAKER_01 27:22

We do, and some of them are really heartwarming, and then some of them are like, what the okay.

SPEAKER_02 27:29

Yeah, oh, it's it's quite the time. And yeah, we get people quite literally off the streets at times, and they come in with life stories or experiences.

SPEAKER_01 27:41

Can we talk about your guy? I think we didn't know.

SPEAKER_02 27:43

And I just cut I just cut his hair the other day. Did you?

SPEAKER_01 27:45

He's doing even better.

SPEAKER_02 27:46

Yeah, he's doing good. That's awesome. He's still doing very well. Yeah, he was I didn't know that he had a child. He had just dropped his child off at gymnastics. That's awesome. Yeah, it's really nice. Little recap.

SPEAKER_01 27:58

I think we've talked about this before, but Emily did someone and they were just doing super good and came in and apologized a couple weeks later for how they acted and said that after that day they got clean, and you said that you saw him that day, and he's doing even better. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_02 28:15

Yeah, so it's nice whenever you can follow clients like that.

SPEAKER_01 28:18

And when you can follow them through other big journeys, like we have clients who literally get have kids, they get married, like a lot of those people they transition, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 28:31

Exactly. Literally, yeah, we do. We have clients that you follow them through every single step of life. Our manager, she's been doing hair for 30 years, and she always has stories like a client will leave and she'd be like, I've been cutting their hair since they were five and they're 30.

SPEAKER_01 28:47

Like, I love that. I love that part of a lot of.

SPEAKER_02 28:51

She has clients who she cut their hair when they're kids, and now she's cutting their kids' hair. Yeah, exactly. It's just such a cycle, and Sam you'd be the same.

SPEAKER_00 29:00

Mom getting up there. Well, true though. Like, I like one of my clients, Gavin. Like, he's what Gavin's not my age. 19. No, he's Alex's age. 18? He's 18. He's 18. He's 18. And I've been cutting his hair since he was two. Oh, that's sweet. Like, maybe something like that. Something like that, anyway. Yeah, yeah. Like, I've been cutting his hair since he was like little, little.

SPEAKER_02 29:22

And I was teller than me, and I'm like, which all this can go to show that all these different clients we see, all these different people and walks of life are things that we have to juggle as well. Yeah. We need to juggle the mental load of all these clients. We we try really hard to remember them all, remember their stories, make it as personable as we can when they come in. Even the people, I notice how much people appreciate it in our salon that we do remember stuff about them. Yeah. And they point out all the time, like, even just as simple as knowing what they do with their hair. Yeah. People like that.

SPEAKER_01 29:58

You save someone, you get a number three, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:01

Or being able to check in with them, or we're very an open salon. So, like, I might have overheard a client tell Ella something last time, and then they get me this time, and then I say, Oh, how I heard last time we were going on a trip. Like, people like that.

SPEAKER_01 30:14

And that is showing people that we're not just like, you get number three, K, do it, KK, bye. We try like we're actually we want to get to know you, we wanna want you to have a good experience. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 30:25

Or on the opposite side, we have clients that we know like to be silent. I know you have one, I have one, yep. Monica has one that they just come in and they say what they want, and you cut their hair.

SPEAKER_01 30:35

So and and it's not people are like, that's so bitchy, that's so rude. This lady who I have, she is the sweetest lady, and she is a mom and she's busy at work, and so when she gets her hair cut, that's her time to just be. And I'm always I'm always like, I'm like, if she get a shampoo, it's like uh put you to sleep for real. But she comes in, she tells me what she wants, the exact like she's very, very literal. And then because I'm cutting her hair, she is looking down anyway, and she shuts her eyes and she puts her head down. And uh, don't say anything until I'm done.

SPEAKER_02 31:09

I've had many clients that'll come in and they read. Yeah. They asked, Well, you mind if I just read? So I do not care. Yeah. You're paying for this service, so however you want it, it's your call. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, that's just another like mental load we carry that can contribute to behind the scenes. It's not a good thing, it's not a bad thing. It's just one more thing that like a skill, I guess. Yeah, you need to develop.

SPEAKER_01 31:31

The reason why, again, us being such an open salon, yeah, and it's not that we share other people's stories with everyone else in the salon, but like say I just had a really heavy thing told to me.

SPEAKER_00 31:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:48

My way of balancing that or trying to digest that and keep my mental stability good while still having another day, yeah, is maybe being like, hey Emily, can I talk to you for a second? Yeah. And just letting them know this is what just happened to me. Like that's what your friends are for in the salon. You have to be there for each other.

SPEAKER_00 32:05

You almost need that support so you can be like, okay, because sometimes you gotta get that off your chest. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:11

Because that could really just be making your day shitty, and then you just be like, you know what? I just need to say this. Yeah. Okay, I vented. Or this was so sad.

SPEAKER_00 32:22

It weighs heavy on sometimes and not look like not in a bad way, but like how we kind of carry it. Like, oh my god, I feel so bad for this one person I did today.

SPEAKER_01 32:32

Like, it seems like it's never one. It seems like it's always like you get one client that tells you something, and then it's the next three as well.

SPEAKER_02 32:38

I find that is a compared with everything. If I do a buzz cut that day, I'm probably gonna do five buzz cuts. Yeah, it's like my first four buzz cuts on Thursday.

SPEAKER_01 32:47

My first four clients on Thursday are buzz buzz cuts.

SPEAKER_02 32:50

Yeah, I just so yeah, if you get one client that had something hard go through, you're probably gonna have another one that day. Yeah, and it's weird.

SPEAKER_01 32:57

It's like when it's like really traumatic, is when you have like a couple of them, and you're like, what is happening? Yeah, it's like when they say death comes in like threes. When you get one really heavy trauma, yeah, you get another one. I'm like, what is happening? And that's when I just need to be like, okay, I know there's nothing you can do, but I just need to let you know that's what my client told me. Yeah, I just need to talk to someone else about it. Now I'm gonna splash some water in my face, gonna get a drink, gonna go do another haircut. Yeah, yeah. Pretend that that didn't happen because then you next have a next client who maybe they're you just found out they're pregnant. You could literally go from having someone tell you they just lost their best friend to putting a smile on your face, oh my god, I just found out I'm pregnant. You have to switch on that off in your brain.

SPEAKER_00 33:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:40

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 33:40

Yeah. Like it's been a lot. Like, even like I actually was just kind of like scrolling through like TikTok the other day and I was like, oh my god, this is so true.

SPEAKER_01 33:50

That thing you've sent, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 33:52

The one where it's like when you get off work and you go home and you like maybe some people would sit in their car, turn the music off while they drive home because I need that silence, or they had their music loud their way. But like, or you get home and you're super touched at that, you're like, I can't talk anymore, I can't peeple anymore. Yeah, like it's a lot, it's just like I have ADHD and I'm a very people person, but it's like then I get home and I'm like, okay, I can't I can't people anymore.

SPEAKER_02 34:24

I can't eat when my family, for some reason, when I get home, they're all ready to eat. I can't. I hardly ever can eat with if I work till five. I don't really eat with my family because I'm like, I can't come in and sit down and eat, and I know you guys are ready, that's fine. But I gotta go decompress, I gotta go change. Yeah, I need at least half an hour before I can like be a fully functioning member of the city. I feel I feel that.

SPEAKER_01 34:47

And I'm the same. We are all very people, yeah. But like, especially Saturday mornings, yeah. I get the dog out of my bed and I take her into my parents' room, or else she'll bark at the door because my parents do opposite Saturdays. So mom was off today. Mom like literally looked up me. She's like, Have a good day. I was like, You two bye. Like, I don't want to talk in the morning. Yeah. Because I'm already knowing, I'm like, okay, I just need to get ready for the day. Yeah. Was it last week that literally every single person in the salon, except for you, because you're lucky, it was Monday. We're like, I'm over this week already. It was that kind of week. It was Monday.

SPEAKER_00 35:21

And this Monday too.

SPEAKER_01 35:23

Like, you know, when your Mondays start like that, you're like, oh, it's gonna be a week.

SPEAKER_00 35:27

I'm pretty sure we said it this Monday too.

SPEAKER_02 35:29

But last Monday shows off, and you guys said how busy it was.

SPEAKER_00 35:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:33

And just like the bitchiness, and I was like, oh my god, and it's Monday.

SPEAKER_02 35:38

Yeah, that was last month. Last month they had an ourselves. It was I wasn't there to witness it, but yeah, there were some not happy people.

SPEAKER_00 35:46

No, and this Monday also wasn't as bad, but I was just like, I'm over it today. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:52

Yeah. These last couple weeks, I don't know what it is. If it's a full moon, there was a full moon, and if it's the change and weather and everything's like this, but like I talk to the girls on the podcast and stuff, but like Sam's kids, I love those kids, like my own. And these past couple weeks, I have probably talked to you the least I have ever in my life because we've just been so busy, and then we just don't want to talk. You just wanna just like I just don't wanna talk. I just wanna shh.

unknown 36:22

Who me?

SPEAKER_01 36:23

No, everybody. Oh like I can't, like, I'd be like, okay, I'll call Wesson and Kinsley, but then I'm like, because I don't want to talk.

SPEAKER_00 36:31

Like, I just don't want to. Well, yeah, you and you weren't feeling good a couple days this week, too. So that would do it too. You were just like, I can't I don't care to die.

SPEAKER_01 36:39

And now I'm excited after here. Obviously, I'm not excited why I'm babysitting. You guys are going to a celebration life, but I'm excited because I I get alone time with them and I feel like I haven't got to babysit them in a while.

SPEAKER_00 36:49

Yeah, exactly. Meanwhile, I'm like, I just want to go home and sit. Yeah. Fair. Tired.

SPEAKER_01 36:56

But yeah, those are like what are some moments that you're really grateful that we have the staff we do and the girls and the friendships that we do in the salon?

SPEAKER_02 37:05

Saturdays for sure. Yeah. I love when we're all together on a Saturday. They're fun. We make it fun. Yeah, I think so. I like it. Yeah. We're all there together like from start to end.

SPEAKER_01 37:16

And like today, when it was slower, and we were having a good time. Like we said, Monica's been behind the chair 30 years, and she has a great client who she's seen through transitions, and he's very funny, and he was literally just making us all laugh, and like all of us being able to laugh together. It's just so much fun.

SPEAKER_00 37:37

It's hilarious. Yeah. And he's quite he's quite the cat. Oh, he's so funny. So funny. He had us croaking. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:44

Yeah. Like, Monica was doing the she was doing the the what is it? You squeeze your legs together and bend down. She was she was pulling that move.

SPEAKER_00 37:57

She's trying to pee your pants. I think, yeah, I was thinking I was doing a haircut and I turn around and I'm like, I'm like, Monica's pulling the move, she's got the legs crossed. Yeah, so funny.

SPEAKER_02 38:05

I also think that we're all very much supportive of each other in our journeys. Yeah, absolutely. And helping.

SPEAKER_01 38:15

And I've also never met, I've never met not unstable, but a more like sick, like sick, neurodivergent.

SPEAKER_02 38:26

Diverse group of people. Holy crap, or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 38:29

From anxiety to ADHD to literally shitting ourselves.

SPEAKER_00 38:34

Like we can't help it.

SPEAKER_01 38:36

All of us in there. Everyone has something. We are just and everyone is so supportive. Like with me, my anxiety is super bad. Yeah. And if I need a day, like nobody's ever like, oh my god, Ella.

SPEAKER_02 38:46

Yeah, like the only ice pack on her neck.

SPEAKER_01 38:47

Like when someone else says this, like we're always checking in, hey, how are you feeling? When Emily went home, I'm like, hey, did you rest? Like, yeah, yeah. That's the kind of salon we have. It's not like, oh my God, again. Like, uh really. Really? Like, ugh. Yeah. Like, we're like, are are you okay?

SPEAKER_02 39:02

Yeah. I find we do. Yeah. We're we're very supportive and it makes the job way better.

SPEAKER_00 39:07

And we're a pretty good team, which is great. You need to be laugh, cry, and everything. So, you know.

SPEAKER_01 39:12

One day on the Oh god. I was like, excuse me, to my haircut. Because Emily's in the bathroom throwing up. And I hear her, she's like, and I go knock on the door. I'm like, do you want your ginger ale? She's like, Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 39:30

I did that to you one day too, remember? Yeah. Spitting up her vitamin water I gave her.

SPEAKER_01 39:36

Oh my god, I was so sick, and Sam gave me these gross drinks, these electrolyte that uh I don't know, but it was like a wild habit gets bear. I was like, yeah, I get I don't it went right down right back up.

SPEAKER_02 39:48

I literally sent beds and stuff for each other to someone's up. Lorena is our our pharmacy.

SPEAKER_00 39:55

Shout out to Lorena.

SPEAKER_02 39:59

Like we literally don't care. We will ask each other and tell each other anything.

SPEAKER_01 40:02

Emily today, she's like, I was sneezing. I don't have mascara on one eye. Now I look funny. Anyone got mascara? Sam's like, I do it in my drawer.

SPEAKER_00 40:09

Yeah, I'm like, go up in my drawer. I have eyeliner and mascara. And there's gum cream. What else do you need?

SPEAKER_01 40:16

I have hand cream. I have band-aids. I have liquid glue. Yeah. We gotta like co-workers make the job. They do. I tell you, but they can also make the job worse.

SPEAKER_02 40:26

They can make or break your job. Oh, that's why we're so lucky. Make or break. You could have a really shitty job and you could have good co-workers that make it, or you could have the best job in the world. Your coworkers suck.

SPEAKER_00 40:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 40:37

Good luck.

SPEAKER_00 40:38

Yeah. Do you want to do that for 60 years? No.

SPEAKER_02 40:41

No.

SPEAKER_00 40:41

No, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 40:43

No. For a group of eight girls, we are super lucky. Yes. Absolutely. Are we eight or are we nine? I think we're nine. Technically not. Michaela's on the one's on maternity leave. Maternity leave, yeah. But even still, we keep in touch with Michaela and she'll come out to things with us too if we go out to eat or something.

SPEAKER_01 40:59

Technically, we're 10 now. Oh, so Nana.

SPEAKER_00 41:02

Yeah. Yes, including Sunana. Yeah. She's part-time, but she's there three days a week. Yeah, she goes from our other sister store and then comes down to our store and we need her. Yep. Yep. Which is good. Yeah. What do you think is the funniest moment we've had together?

SPEAKER_01 41:17

The three of us. I think just like when we're making TikToks.

SPEAKER_02 41:20

Oh my god. We don't care. We literally don't care what we look like.

SPEAKER_00 41:24

Today we were swinging Sam by her arms and her feet. I know. I was like, okay, I'm gonna go pee first before we do this. Because if not, I might pee my pants.

SPEAKER_02 41:32

Yeah, we really don't care when it comes to TikToks. We will stand on things. We will actually.

SPEAKER_01 41:37

I was stand on each other. We will get in laundry baskets. We don't care.

SPEAKER_00 41:46

We'll pretend to fall. But you know what's so funny?

SPEAKER_01 41:49

Is like if we all went out to dinner, we would like make ourselves look presentable. Oh yeah. And we would care. And then we make a TikTok and we're like first take. We all look like we're about to shit our pants or something like that. And we're like that good. We're like, we don't care. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 42:03

Our hair can be, I can no makeup. I don't give a shit.

SPEAKER_01 42:06

I don't know how much. After I did my last haircut today, because I was because of that TikTok and I just finished a big color, I got hot, so I switched my hair from the pony to the bun. Yeah. I looked at myself in the mirror. I said, I can't believe I just cut hair with my hair like that. Because it was worse than this, and it was half like this. I was like, oh my god, I look like I just like got railed. She had a deadhead. Sorry. Sorry. Emma. I didn't. PG. I'm sorry. My hair was bad. Well, it's true.

SPEAKER_02 42:37

It did look a little messed up.

SPEAKER_00 42:39

I looked at Emily and I'm like, She looks like she rolled out of the hot trash.

SPEAKER_01 42:43

I said, I cannot believe I just cut hair like that.

SPEAKER_02 42:45

That's so funny. What do you think you guys like? What's something you couldn't do the job without?

SPEAKER_00 42:53

My girls. I would say like a good group of same staff. Like, you know. Me too.

SPEAKER_02 42:59

I really, if I didn't have and I heard Monica telling her client that today, because I think they were asking why she doesn't own a salon or something. Oh really? Yeah. And she's like, I have no interest. I love it. But she said the biggest part is she loves having coworkers and people around her. Like if she had her own shop and it was just her.

SPEAKER_01 43:15

Oh my god, I'd be talking to the walls, I'd be crazy.

SPEAKER_02 43:17

Yeah. No, I and that's how I feel too. Like I know I like being around surrounded by coworkers. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 43:24

Oh god. If you can go to work and have fun, like that's what you that's what it should be.

SPEAKER_02 43:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 43:30

Exactly. You know. Disrespect each other.

SPEAKER_02 43:33

Yeah. Do your job. Don't make things harder for others and exactly talk it out when something comes up. Because something's gonna come up. Like we're human.

SPEAKER_00 43:41

We're all females too. So that's a lot of hormones in there. Exactly. But menstrual cycles.

SPEAKER_02 43:46

I feel like we're all very like strong women in the sense we are okay speaking up for ourselves. We're okay.

SPEAKER_01 43:56

The three of us have had our fair share of goes at each other and we're Still here making this and having fun. I went to the group chat one time and then Sam and Emily told me to grow up.

SPEAKER_02 44:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:06

Grow up. Yeah, but Emily was being rude. Emily was being rude to me. And then Sam was like, Sam called me just like Ella. I was like, no.

SPEAKER_00 44:18

And then we were fine. Yeah. Had to be the, what do you call that? The mediator.

SPEAKER_01 44:26

Me and Emily are about to throw hands in the parking lot. Catch me outside.

SPEAKER_00 44:30

I was like, okay, girls.

SPEAKER_01 44:33

Sam's texting me. She's like, Ella.

SPEAKER_00 44:35

I was like, did she really just leave the group chats? I was like, just a minute. I know I had to call one, call the other. I'm like, my God.

SPEAKER_02 44:46

But no, that's the thing. We that's what it happens. It's life. And your friends, like relationships, and you meet in stressful situations. Absolutely.

Like I said at that time, I apologized to Amanda when you were me were doing that poor little girl. And like we just kept saying to her, We're like, You're doing great, honey. Like, you're almost done. She had such a mat, and Amanda came over. She's like, Well, don't lie to her. I'm like, I'm not. And I snapped at her because I felt so bad. And Amanda came over and she was like, I'm like, you're doing so good. We're almost done. She's like, well, don't lie to her. I'm like, I'm not. And then afterwards, I was like to Amanda, I'm like, I'm so sorry. She's like, no, I'm sorry. Like, I shouldn't have come over and butt it in. And I'm like, no, I'm sorry. I just I felt bad. And she's like, no, it's okay. I was like, okay. Like those things happen. And we're mature enough to realize, like, if we're being a bitch, we're gonna say sorry, I was a bitch. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 45:31

Like people are human. That's all. And you just gotta learn how to talk about it maturely.

SPEAKER_00 45:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 45:37

And not, and I think we all know, like, we can be wrong. We're not like we're human. You're not always wrong.

SPEAKER_01 45:44

I'm like, yes, I know I'm wrong. And sometimes I still might argue because I don't want to be wrong. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 45:48

I do that a lot. So I think that makes like we're very strong, respectable women, which I love. And we respect ourselves and each other, which is nice.

SPEAKER_01 45:58

What do you think, in one word, would describe our salon atmosphere?

SPEAKER_02 46:06

Fun.

SPEAKER_00 46:07

Yeah. We're fun. Crazy. I'd say crazy.

SPEAKER_01 46:10

I'd say crazy in a good way. A good crazy way.

SPEAKER_02 46:12

But it's just like when client, when people are in the back room, you should hear the back room. Like clients get jealous. Because they're like, what's going on back there? Oh my god, it's so funny.

SPEAKER_01 46:22

That's especially bad. It's especially Sam or Monica. Yeah, their laughs, they cackle. I'll be like sitting doing a haircut, and then all of a sudden I'll hear ha ha ha ha! I'm like, oh, Monica's on lunch. Yeah. Because Monica loves to scroll videos and then she starts sending us videos of raccoons, and then all of a sudden I'll heal heel every group chat's ding in.

SPEAKER_00 46:42

Here's Sam, she's like, and then ting.

SPEAKER_01 46:44

I'm like, oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 46:46

Yeah. I know I'm like, Monica must be on lunch. She's sending other group chat some funny videos here. Here we go. But no.

SPEAKER_01 46:53

So funny. That's what I would say for sure. Oh yeah. Would be the word to describe our salon. Yeah, exactly. So I feel like all we kind of wanted to touch on today just kind of behind the scenes. The behind the scenes, like the stuff that you know we do, but you don't see and like how it actually can affect us. Yeah. Like we said, next Saturday is gonna be fun. We're gonna work. Yes. And then Sam's gonna go home to her children. I'm gonna come home to my house. Emily's gonna go home to her house, and we're gonna have a few hours apart, which we don't typically do. We typically go right from work. Yes. And then we're all gonna meet up and then we're gonna film. And then we're going out for a karaoke night at other Emily's house. Yeah. But next week is gonna be part two of our interview with Kaylee. So stay tuned for that. Yeah. Because it's gonna be a fun one. When is this never fun? It's always fun.

SPEAKER_00 47:43

It's always fun.

SPEAKER_01 47:45

You tell me one video that you didn't like, I'll block you. I'm just joking. Block. Just a crazy.

SPEAKER_02 47:53

Alright, so before we end this episode, I thought it'd be fun just to do a few random would you rathers.

SPEAKER_00 47:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 48:01

So 14-year-old boy. Hit in puberty, apparently. So would you rather s accidentally send your search history to your mom or your camera roll to your boss? Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 48:13

My camera roll to my boss. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 48:15

Huh. Because it's Monica.

SPEAKER_01 48:17

That's the camera roll to my mic. And I don't have anything in my search history, actually. My search history right now is our tickets for Matt Reif in the summer.

SPEAKER_02 48:26

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 48:26

Because I just like clear everything once I do it.

SPEAKER_02 48:28

Oh, this would include deleted, don't worry.

SPEAKER_01 48:30

Oh, deleted? That's fine. You can see my deleted. It's probably like, how old is this hot celebrity? How old is this hot celebrity? But no. For sure, my photos, because I want Monica to get to see my beautifulness.

SPEAKER_02 48:42

Would you rather be stuck in a Walmart overnight or a trampoline park with no phone? Walmart. Walmart. Yeah, fuck yeah.

SPEAKER_00 48:49

Fuck yeah.

SPEAKER_02 48:50

Walmart. Would you rather always laugh at serious moments or cry at minor inconveniences? Uh laugh. I feel like I do both. I feel like last but not least, would you rather have a laugh like a donkey or sneeze like a car horn?

SPEAKER_01 49:09

Laugh like a donkey. Donkey for sure. I feel like I laugh like a donkey.

SPEAKER_00 49:15

Oh my lord.

SPEAKER_01 49:16

No, because I sneeze so much, I wouldn't want to be like, Oh my god, that'd be so annoying. Get some dust in your nose, and then all of a sudden it's like, why is there a car in the salon?

SPEAKER_02 49:28

Holy shit. Lordy. Oh god.
