    Feb 3 2026

    Send us a message

    This episode has been a long time coming.
    In episode 101, we sat down with Lisa from Brow Spa and for the first time ever, she shared a huge announcement that we had to keep under wraps… until now.
    Lisa is officially launching Brow Spa in H Beauty (Harrods) a massive milestone not just for her brand, but for the brow industry as a whole.
    In this conversation, we talk about:
    What it really takes to build a brow brand with longevity
    The journey from brow artist to luxury retail
    Breaking into spaces like Harrods (and what they don’t tell you)
    The pressure, the pride, and the realities behind the scenes
    Why this moment matters for the entire brow community
    This is an honest, inspiring, industry-first conversation and proof that brows belong on the biggest stages.
    If you’re a brow artist, brand owner, educator, or dreaming bigger than your treatment room… this one’s for you.

  • THE 100th EPISODE Ft: The Mamma Pluckers
    Dec 8 2025

    Send us a message

    It’s finally here, Pluckers… EPISODE 100.
    One hundred episodes of chaos, belly laughs, over-sharing, trauma dumps, beauty industry gossip, and you lot riding every wave with us, so for this milestone, we had to bring back the only guests iconic enough to handle it.
    The Mamma Pluckers are BACK.
    And this time… they’re in charge.
    We kick things off with The Mamma Plucker Hot Seat™, where our mums get full permission to grill us with zero rules, zero filter, and absolutely no mercy. Expect childhood chaos, embarrassing eras, beauty career confessions, and a few truths we probably weren’t ready to hear on record.
    Then we resurrect The Fashion Files, letting the mums react, roast and review our most “memorable” looks from industry events, award nights, and every outfit we’d hoped the internet had forgotten.
    And finally a wholesome moment (don’t get used to it) as the mums share what What The Pluck means to them & their favourite memories.
    This is pure celebration full of love, laughter, draggings, nostalgia, and the most What The Pluck energy possible.
    Thank you for 100 episodes.
    Here’s to 100 more. 💖

  • Gatekeeping vs Oversharing: Is It Ruining Creativity?
    Dec 1 2025

    Send us a message

    The beauty industry used to keep EVERYTHING a secret…

    Now it feels like everyone is sharing EVERY trick, technique, and treatment online - and the whole industry is starting to look the same.

    In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most controversial topics in beauty right now: Gatekeeping vs Oversharing.

    Is oversharing killing creativity?

    Is gatekeeping selfish or smart?

    Are clients and competitors expecting too much access to your work?

    And where’s the line between educating… and giving away the craft you worked so hard to build?

    We’re breaking down:

    ✨ How gatekeeping has evolved

    ✨ The pressure to constantly give free value

    ✨ Copying, competitors, and “same-service syndrome”

    ✨ The impact of TikTok tutorials on originality

    ✨ Why oversharing is exhausting — especially for educators

    ✨ When gatekeeping is actually GOOD for your business

    ✨ How to protect your creativity and keep your boundaries strong

    If you’ve ever felt guilty for not sharing everything… or frustrated because everyone is copying everything… this episode is going to HIT.

    Share what helps. Protect what’s yours.

    Your creativity deserves boundaries.

    See you next week for another episode of What The Pluck! 💖
