Listener Janelle reaches out for help after receiving an unexpected, curt text from her longtime hairstylist, effectively ending both their professional and what she thought was also a personal relationship. The hosts guide Janelle through a rollercoaster of emotions, speculation, and live texting drama in a special "Textual Healing" segment.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Pain of Losing a Trusted Stylist

• Janelle describes her stylist of six years texting her out of the blue to say she was no longer welcome as a client.
• The hosts express sympathy and surprise, with Brooke especially relating, calling the stylist-client bond “such an intimate relationship.”
  • [08:28] Brooke: “If I got that text message, I would also, like, I would be beside myself. Like, that’s not it. It is such an intimate relationship with your hairstylist.”
• Janelle reiterates the personal nature of the friendship, noting she confided in her stylist and is deeply hurt.
  • [08:09] Janelle: “I feel like this really hurt my feelings because… I consider this woman a friend, you know?”

2. Analyzing the Stylist’s Message

• Janelle reads the text verbatim:
  • [07:25] Janelle: “Hi. I've really enjoyed our time together, but I don't think I'd like to take you on as a client any longer.”
• No emoji or extra context included, making the message feel cold and final.
• The team speculates on causes—personal falling out, professional tension, or something external.

3. The Group Debates the Etiquette of Responding

• Jeffrey pushes for a text that will get to the bottom of the issue without sounding angry or desperate.
• Brooke advocates for using humor to diffuse tension and keep things lighthearted.
  • [10:07] Brooke: “I think you should lead with humor, honestly, because… what if you just said, my roots weren’t that bad last appointment, were they?”
• Janelle, seeking advice, leans toward using playful gossip as bait to reestablish a friendly rapport.

4. Tension Escalates: The Mother-in-Law Twist

• Janelle texts: “Are you sure? Because I have something juicy to tell you. It’s about my mother-in-law.”
  • [14:36] Janelle shares the message and that the stylist is typing back.

  • [15:10] Janelle: “That’s exactly the problem. Your mother-in-law is my client now.”

5. Truth Surfaces: Accusations and Tipping Scandal

• The stylist reveals, via text, that the mother-in-law had shared things about Janelle—which don't align with the stylist’s values—specifically the claim that Janelle tips “no more than 15%.”
  • [16:52] Janelle (quoting stylist): “She told me some interesting things about you that don’t line up with my values. So we should just say goodbye.”
  • [18:41] Janelle: “I don’t want to go into it, but in terms of how you treat people in the service industry, eg, no tipping above 15%.”
  • [19:00] Janelle: “Yeah, apparently she told my stylist. Who knows? That’s how I tip already. I mean, this is not news for years.”
• Janelle is exasperated that a family member would speak ill and that something as trivial as a 15% tip could lead to “firing.”
• The group debates how much tipping is expected and whether the mother-in-law is truly to blame, or if the stylist had already been dissatisfied.

6. Emotional Fallout and Next Steps

• Janelle considers if she should “fire” her mother-in-law from other recommendations.
  • [18:30] Janelle: “I’m definitely not recommending anywhere to her. I wouldn’t recommend a grocery store to that woman.”
• The hosts point out the dangers of family and business mixing and the importance of small details in service relationships.
• Brooke, initially adamant in defending Janelle, softens, suggesting maybe the stylist was already frustrated.
  • [20:27] Brooke: “I don’t think it was the mother in law’s fault.”
• Janelle is left with unresolved feelings, questioning her actions and her loyalty to both stylist and mother-in-law.

---

Overall Tone & Style

The conversation is uproarious, candid, and at times a little over the top, balancing empathy for Janelle’s plight with zany commentary and banter. Brooke’s initial all-out support for Janelle gives way to a more nuanced, perhaps resigned, practicality. The entire team provides a supportive but irreverent atmosphere, turning a minor personal crisis into a memorable, communal therapy session.

---

Final Takeaways

• The loss of a stylist can feel just like a real breakup—especially when trust and history are involved.
• Humor and transparency are decent strategies for addressing awkward breakups, even in non-romantic relationships.
• Family can sometimes unintentionally (or intentionally) complicate personal and professional bridges.
• The expectations around tipping culture can have deeper, sometimes unspoken, consequences.
• Sometimes, with “Textual Healing,” closure isn’t guaranteed, but at least you get a good story—and maybe a laugh—out of it.

[Brooke]

Hey, welcome to the Second Day podcast. It's Brooke and Jeffrey and we've got a new episode. Sexual Healing is just when a listener writes us and has an issue where they just don't know how to respond. You know, they're kind of at a dead end. And so this person needed our help and it is a doozy. We're gonna get to that in just a but. Comments? Yeah, Gil Ferguson said in all caps. OMG. I'm out of episodes. I've been binging for 8 months and I'm finally caught up. What am I supposed to do at work now? Work. Ew.

[Janelle]

Ew.

[Brooke]

Well, listen, we always have our full show podcast too. If. Yes, if you're that type of glutton for punishment, you can get a full, full hour of this every day. Or go to our socials at brookeandjeffrey and just stalk us there. Go way back. Keep scrolling. We got you, Gil. We got you. All right, your brand new episode for Gil starts now.

[Jeffrey]

We all know for how to handle a really bad breakup. Oh, Girls night.

[Brooke]

Hey boys. Hey, how you doing?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, just one evening out with strong poor drinks and weak minded men and you will be forgetting all of your problems. But what do you do if the person who's dumping you is way more important than any dumb boyfriend ever could be?

[Brooke]

Oh no.

[Jeffrey]

One of our listeners says that's exactly the position that she in after she got one text from somebody she thought was a really close friend and now she's wondering, how do I even respond to this?

[Brooke]

Hey boys. Hey, how you doing?

[Jacob Goldstein]

Brooke?

[Jeffrey]

No, remember, it's not that kind of.

[Brooke]

Breakup, but it may still help.

[Jeffrey]

No, I don't think so. You're going to hear it in a brand new textual healing coming up next. Textual Healing. Textual. Welcome to Textual Healing. All right, the segment where we take your so called complicated life problems and instantly fix them for you with one simple text message. Yes, it is that easy because we help you craft the perfect message to make all of your issues and problems melt away. Like a tasty handful of off brand Xanax. That's what we do for you.

[Brooke]

Feels too good to be true, Jeff. Like you've forgotten all the other textual healings that we've done.

[Jeffrey]

But maybe it's the handful of Xanax that I just took. But we do have a woman on the phone right now. I don't know anything about her, not even her name. I just have a note here saying this is a last second, emergency, desperate situation that she's in and she would really like our help with it. So. Hello, listener. Welcome to the show. Who are you?

[Janelle]

Hi, this is Janelle, and I would really appreciate some help. I. I got a really upset text and it sort of feels like I've lost my best friend. Not quite, but it feels that way to me.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my gosh. Okay, Brooke, first of all, you need to calm down a little bit because she said it's like her best friend, not her actual best friend.

[Brooke]

I have, like, 12 best friends, okay? They are all equally important.

[Jeffrey]

Okay? There's no time to brag about that stuff. That's not what we're here for.

[Brooke]

Best friends are integral to a happy life.

[Jeffrey]

But she said. Is this an actual friend of yours or it's just friend adjacent? What is going on?

[Janelle]

It is a friend, but it's a professional relationship as well. Basically, I got fired by my hairstylist.

[Brooke]

Is that the text? Wait, can I ask, is that the text that you just got?

[Janelle]

Yes, I got it last night. And she basically told me she doesn't want me as a client anymore.

[Jeffrey]

No. Oh, my God. That's my dream, dude.

[Greenlight Ad]

I talked about mine on air, yo.

[Brooke]

Yes, she told me I can't come back.

[Jeffrey]

What did you do, Janelle?

[Brooke]

How long did you.

[Janelle]

I did nothing. And I don't understand because I always tip her really well. I'm sweet to her. We get along. I've been seeing her for about six years.

[Brooke]

Okay, wait, wait, wait, though. Did you badmouth her behind her back somewhere? Because I'm sorry, Hairstylists are the queen of gossip. They know everything that's happening at all times.

[Janelle]

This was out of nowhere. We didn't even have an appointment scheduled or anything. But said it said, let me read it to you verbatim. Hi. I've really enjoyed our time together, but I don't think I'd like to take you on as a client any longer, period.

[Jeffrey]

Did she put an emoji? Like, a tear eye emoji at least?

[Janelle]

No, nothing. Not even, like, smiley and nothing.

[Brooke]

Not even the girl hair flipping.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, this sounds serious.

[Janelle]

No hair emoji, Nothing. So I have not responded yet because I didn't know how to even take this. I was like, what?

[Jose]

Well, it sounds like you're feeling upset and, like, let down.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, even more like, she sounds devastated to me.

[Janelle]

I feel like this really hurt my feelings because, again, as I said in the beginning, like, I consider this woman a friend, you know?

[Jeffrey]

Again, well, I pay my friends, too, so I get that feeling.

[Brooke]

No, my hair. I've been with my hairstylist for over a decade, and she is a friend of mine.

[Jeffrey]

Like, it's not a competition. No, I know your friends longer.

[Brooke]

If I got that text message, I would also, like, I would be beside myself. And it's not just because I couldn't find someone else to cut my hair. Like, that's not it. It's like, it is such an intimate relationship with your hairstylist.

[Janelle]

Like, you share. I really confided in her.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jacob Goldstein]

Okay.

[Janelle]

And I'm wondering if I should be taking this personally.

[Brooke]

Oh, you should.

[Jeffrey]

Well, okay.

[Brooke]

Hairstylists don't do anything that's not personal.

[Jose]

And to be honest, I've never heard of him losing a client. Like, it takes forever to build a client list and to have a consistent amount of. So for her to say, I don't want your business is pretty big.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. There's got to be some sort of explanation, and she's not providing it. It seems like that's what you're going for here, Janelle. You want to ask her, right? What's the reason?

[Janelle]

I want to respond in, like, the right way without seeming like I'm flying off the handle, like, oh, you really hurt my feelings. How dare you? What did I do?

[Jeffrey]

Is going to be my exact thing.

[Janelle]

I want to, like, craft this in the right way, my response, which is why I haven't responded yet, which is why. Why I'm asking.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, we. We can tell that you're very clearly emotional about this, but we're gonna do our job and get you some textual healing right now. Help you craft the right message to her to figure out politely how to ask the reason why she's letting you go from her client list. Now. I don't have an idea because I personally don't ever see the same hairstylist ever twice.

[Jose]

A relationship with women in their hairstyle sometimes is even deeper I can understand than us guys, because we're in and out.

[Jeffrey]

I would defer to Brooke or possibly Alexis for the first thoughts here.

[Brooke]

You should. I think you should lead with humor, honestly, because, like, what if. What if you're reading it wrong for some reason? I don't know how you can misconstrue her message, but what if you just said, my roots weren't that bad last appointment, were they? You know, like a haircut joke.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, okay.

[Janelle]

Right. I say, like, I promise I didn't use box color.

[Brooke]

Yeah, exactly. You're like, girl, I. I swear I didn't cut my own bangs before I saw you.

[Janelle]

Right.

[Jeffrey]

That's an option. Or you could also play the pity card and be like, are you sure? Because I had three of my dogs run away this week. Also, my dad says he wants to redivorce my mom.

[Janelle]

Oh, my gosh.

[Brooke]

That's also kind of funny. Work on a hairstylist.

[Greenlight Ad]

She's like, wait, tell me more.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, she's going to want you back in that chair.

[Brooke]

That's not bad. What if you lean into what Alexis is saying with the gossip and be like, no, you can't yet, because I haven't told you what happened with X. Something you ended up last time talking about.

[Janelle]

Oh, I like that. Just to intrigue her. I mean, I just wonder if there's something personal going on with her and if that would, like, a little bit of humor might warm her up and.

[Brooke]

You'Ll be able to tell on her interest level if she wants to know the tea.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. You know. So you're worried there's going to be something personal about you. What does the room think? Like, what are the percentage chances that this has something to do with something Janelle did? Or what's the percentage? It's something not related to her going on in just the hairstylist personal life.

[Brooke]

Janelle. Janelle. 99%.

[Janelle]

I mean, honestly, I don't like to hear that, but I hate to say it. I think you got that the way she phrased it in her text is, I don't think I'd like to take you on as a client any longer.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jose]

Is anyone else optimistic that there's a 1% chance he's intimidated by her? Like, oh, my God, that coat you wore last time was so, so much better dressed than I am.

[Jeffrey]

Do you think a 1% chance is optimism?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jose]

I'm optimistic. It's not your fault. And it's something to do with the weather.

[Brooke]

Hairstylists are always the prettiest girls.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

They're not intimidating. They're not intimidating.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. I appreciate your optimism, Jose.

[Jose]

Yeah, sorry for it.

[Jeffrey]

All right, so we're obviously running out of time here. We need to get one text through. What are you going to write to your hairstylist, Janelle?

[Janelle]

I think I'm gonna go with the little gossip humor thing, because at least that's an attempt to diffuse the situation a little bit with humor and remind.

[Brooke]

Her that you guys are friends. I mean, it's a reminder that you're more connected than just the client relationship. Perfect.

[Jeffrey]

So we are officially out of time now. So, Janelle, you're gonna have to go ahead and text that message to her on your own about. Okay, I have gossip for you. You have to hear it, and then we'll come back, and hopefully she's responded to it and you've reeled her back in. When we do more textual healing with the hairstylist who fired you? Coming up right after this. Okay, we're in the middle of textual healing with our listener, Janelle, who had a professional and what she thought was a close friendship with her hairstylist of the past six years. The issue is, last night, she received a random text that said, I'm sorry, but you're fired.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

You cannot be my client anymore.

[Jose]

Why does that hurt like we're not even her client? I feel like we all winced when.

[Brooke]

He said that she was just canceling an appointment. She is canceling all the appointments. Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Yes. And there was nothing else with it. No emojis attached, no explanation for why. So Janelle turned around and urgently sent a message to our producer. And here we are trying to help her get an answer and maybe even get her hair stylist back.

[Brooke]

That's right. I'm gonna win her back. That's what we're gonna do. I'm fully confident.

[Jeffrey]

I know nobody. We never said that was a possibility in the first part, but I think Jose's relentless optimism came through. Seeped through my clothing, down into my heart.

[Brooke]

The 1% did that.

[Jeffrey]

It did. It made me believe so.

[Jose]

And they make her too happy. And she's like, I can't focus on anything else other than you after you leave.

[Jeffrey]

I'm losing the optimism now, Jose. Okay, so we don't even know what text message officially sent Janelle. What did you end up writing to your stylist after she said she's letting you go?

[Janelle]

Here's what I ended up sending her, and she is typing back as we speak.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay.

[Brooke]

Oh, that means it's gonna be a long one. What did you say?

[Janelle]

I Said, are you sure? Because I have something juicy to tell you. It's about my mother in law.

[Brooke]

Mother in law?

[Jose]

I didn't think this would work, but.

[Jeffrey]

Again, hearing that, I'm interested.

[Brooke]

I know everybody wants wants to know the tea, don't they?

[Janelle]

Yeah, I. I can always come up with some tea. About my mother.

[Jose]

I was gonna ask that.

[Brooke]

How do you respond to that in a negative way? You're being fun and playful, even though that could be a really hurtful text message that she said.

[Janelle]

Okay, okay. Something has come through. Okay, wait here.

[Jeffrey]

This.

[Janelle]

What?

[Brooke]

What?

[Janelle]

That's exactly the problem. Your mother in law is my client now. My mind is totally blown up.

[Brooke]

The betrayal. If she chose her.

[Janelle]

I don't even know how this happened.

[Brooke]

Do you have a backstabbing mother in law? Is this the problem? Did she go in there and stir some stuff up?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, like the mother in law came in and started gossiping about you.

[Janelle]

I told my mother in law that I went to the salon, but I didn't even tell her that I saw this particular silence.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Jose]

I guess I still don't understand.

[Jeffrey]

Clearly there's a tension going on between the three of them of some sort. I mean, I think we're done with the pleasantries. You to like going straight up like, why? Why would you choose her?

[Brooke]

No, and you need to say, what did my mother in law tell you?

[Jacob Goldstein]

Yeah.

[Jose]

Can we assume that that was.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Clearly their mother in law's mother in law is talking.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, for any life issue, just assume the mom in law is behind it.

[Janelle]

Okay, I'm going to write. Why would you choose her over me? I'm typing now.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Janelle]

Why would you choose her over me? I've been your client for six years.

[Brooke]

Yes, angry.

[Jeffrey]

Angry face emoji.

[Jose]

No, not angry.

[Jeffrey]

Yes, angry face. Three fists.

[Brooke]

No, no, no, no. No emojis.

[Jeffrey]

No emojis.

[Brooke]

I want to know what kind of BS that mother in law is spreading.

[Jose]

Oh, wow.

[Greenlight Ad]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

No emojis. Just curse words.

[Janelle]

Okay. I sent it.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow. I can't imagine what you're feeling right now, Janelle.

[Janelle]

I sent it and she's writing back already, so she's definitely on it. And we're gonna see what she says.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God, I am dying.

[Janelle]

This is freaking me out. Okay, I came through. She writes. Oh, my God.

[Brooke]

What?

[Janelle]

I'm sorry. This is awkward, but she told me some interesting things about you that don't line up with my values. So we should just say goodbye.

[Brooke]

Oh, it's a moral thing.

[Jeffrey]

Your mother in law Gossiped to your stylist and said that your values are wrong.

[Janelle]

That is messed up.

[Brooke]

I've got to throw the mom in law under the bus. That's the only option right now.

[Jeffrey]

I wonder what she. You.

[Brooke]

You need to say this. You need to say values. Let's talk about values, because that woman. Okay. And then whatever you need to say after, it's gonna be an audio.

[Jeffrey]

I like that.

[Jacob Goldstein]

This is good.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke, when they go low, you go lower.

[Brooke]

That's right, Jeff. When it comes to mother in law.

[Jeffrey]

Let'S undercut mom in law.

[Janelle]

I'm just gonna write, what values is she saying don't align with yours?

[Jeffrey]

I would like to know.

[Janelle]

And I'm gonna add on whatever she said to you. It's a lie.

[Brooke]

Yes. Yes. Okay, yes. And then say I.

[Jeffrey]

It doesn't matter.

[Brooke]

No, you let her know that you literally can't with this woman, that this woman is affecting. I mean, come on. A mother in law is getting you kicked out of your own hairstylist salon.

[Janelle]

I sent it. I sent it.

[Jose]

Oh, man. We're in the middle of it and.

[Brooke]

We got to do a whole nother segment of you texting your mother in law next. I think Brooke is releasing some of her own.

[Jacob Goldstein]

I know.

[Jeffrey]

Why I'm so excited for that seg.

[Brooke]

I hate that stuff.

[Janelle]

This is so weird. I did not even know my mother in law went there. This is like no good deed. Like, I recommended this salon to my mother in law and this is what I get?

[Brooke]

Yeah, you better be careful. You're gonna lose your dentist, you're gonna lose your dermatologist.

[Janelle]

I'm definitely not recommending anywhere to her. I wouldn't recommend a grocery store to that woman.

[Jeffrey]

I mean. Oh, my God. This is crazy.

[Janelle]

Oh, my God. She texted back.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, all right.

[Janelle]

I'm scared waiting here. This, he says. I don't want to go into it, but in terms of how you treat people in the service industry, eg, no tipping above 15%.

[Jacob Goldstein]

Your mother.

[Jeffrey]

Your mother in law said that about you?

[Janelle]

Yeah, apparently she told my stylist. Who knows? That's how I tip already. I mean, this is not news for years.

[Jeffrey]

You don't believe in tipping above 15%?

[Janelle]

15% is pretty standard. And 20% is, like, really, like, really.

[Jeffrey]

Staying awfully quiet over there. Not defending, not defending. This is weird.

[Brooke]

I'm just processing.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, really?

[Brooke]

No, I. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

You believe in no tips?

[Jose]

Okay, 5%.

[Jeffrey]

Isn't it broke?

[Brooke]

Okay, okay, listen.

[Jeffrey]

You pay with coupons, don't you?

[Brooke]

This is what you're gonna do if this is important to you, just be like, that is not true. I swear I will only tip you 20% from here on out.

[Janelle]

But it is true. Like I never tip more than 15%, but I always tip.

[Jose]

And she's known that.

[Brooke]

Maybe she's been waiting to find an excuse to get rid of you then. I don't know that this is even the mother in law's fault anymore. Do you know what probably happened is that your hair stylist was complaining to your mother in law about how you don't tip. And then the mother in law said, well, that's what she does. She Never tips over 15%.

[Janelle]

Well, what do I do now? Do I fire my mother in law?

[Jose]

You can't.

[Brooke]

You gotta tip her more. You gotta tip more.

[Janelle]

Yeah, but it's an expensive haircut and I'm sorry too.

[Jeffrey]

We are out of time for the segment. So Janelle, if you do want to fire your mother in law over text message, you can come back again.

[Brooke]

But I don't think it was the mother in law's fault.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, now you're pro mom in law.

[Brooke]

Why'd you say it all over the place? I maybe went a little too hard too soon. Yeah.

[Jose]

I will say must be deaf when she says that.

[Jeffrey]

[Jose]

She says it under her breath at her desk probably.

[Brooke]

No, I talked to a Alexis about it.

[Skyrizi Ad]

[Brooke]

I hear a few times.

[Jeffrey]

I will say the weirdest part was after the break you went and bragged to our producer about how much you tip to your stylist personally. You did. You went in there and you said it's all under the table. So quote the government can't get our money. I heard it. I was in the room. I pay her mortgage every month.

[Brooke]

He asked me how much I tiff.

[Jose]

And I told him you're such a proud okay.

[Jeffrey]

You did have a smug look on your face though when he gave him the answer.

[Jose]

But that's okay.
