EIGHT is probably the most unprofessional podcast you will ever listen to and that is exactly why it works. Hosted by Kelly Maxwell, this show is for hairstylists who are tired of the highlight reel and ready for the real story. Each episode is a sit down conversation with hairstylists who have lived through the hard parts. Burnout. Bad decisions. Money mistakes. Losing clients. Questioning themselves. Almost quitting. And then finding a way to build something better. This podcast is not about pretending everything was glamorous from the start.Kelly Maxwell Economics Leadership Management & Leadership

    Okay…this conversation with Melanie Hasson was SO good. 🤍


    We sat down and talked all about social media, business growth, building a salon, and what really happens behind the scenes when your platform starts growing fast.


    And when I say fast…I mean FAST. Melanie went from only a few thousand followers to over 200K followers in just months. 👏🏼


    But honestly? What I love most is that she didn’t just build followers…she built a real business behind it. A successful salon. A strong brand. A loyal community. And she shares so much wisdom in this episode.


    We talked about what actually works on social media right now, how to stand out online, the pressure that can come with growth, and what it really takes to keep showing up consistently.


    This episode is packed with so much value, especially if you’re a stylist or business owner trying to grow online right now.

    Okay… can we talk about this episode for a second?

    I sat down with Juney Radford, and I’m telling you right now, this conversation is different.

    Like yes… we talk about hair, but not in the way you think.

    Because what she does?
    It’s not just installs. It’s not just “before and after.”

    It’s women sitting in her chair who don’t feel like themselves anymore…and her helping them get that back.

    And if you’re in this industry, you know how big that is.

    We got into the emotional side of hair loss…the stuff clients don’t always say out loud…and what it actually takes to show up for them at that level.

    And I loved this part because Juney doesn’t just “do hair.”

    She sees the person first. That’s the difference.

    So if you’re a stylist and you want to go deeper with your clients…or you’ve ever had someone sit in your chair and you just knew there was more going on…

    You need to listen to this.

    It’ll shift how you think about what we do.

    Go listen and tell me what hit you 🤍

    This episode is one you’re going to feel.

    I sat down with Sarayah Hernandez, salon owner of East Coast Salon in New Jersey.

    She is an entrepreneur, visionary, and one of the most resilient women I know in this industry.

    And when I tell you she didn’t just build a business… she fought for it.

    We’re talking about what it really looks like behind the scenes, the pivots, the pressure, the moments where most people would’ve quit… and how she kept going anyway.

    Sarayah has created something so much bigger than a salon. She’s built a brand, a community, and a standard.

    If you’re a stylist who knows you’re meant for more…
    If you’ve ever felt the weight of building something on your own…
    If you’re in that season where you’re being stretched and you’re not sure what’s on the other side yet…

    This conversation is going to hit you.

    We talk about growth, identity, leadership, and what it actually takes to step into the next level of your life and business, even when it’s uncomfortable.

    And I promise you… you’re going to walk away from this episode thinking differently.
