Some people build a following online. Others build a whole cast of characters.

In this episode, we sit down with Kristin Falcone (aka ThatHairDressaKristin) to talk about the path from hairdresser to social media creator, how her wildly relatable characters came to life, and why humour has become such a powerful way to connect with people.

Kristin shares how social media started almost by accident, how her characters (including the unforgettable Carol) took on lives of their own, and how her audience helped fuel her growing wig fund for cancer patients.

We get into hair loss, GLP1s, beauty tips (including how to “train” your part) and what harsh comments online can teach you. We also talk about city jobs versus working for yourself, life behind the chair as a hairdresser, client etiquette, tipping, and what it’s like when your salon clients know all your social media characters.

And because this show always finds its way there, we get into the bigger stuff too — family dynamics, phobias, finding ways to relax, and building a life that feels a little more your own.

Funny, candid, chaotic in the best way… this one feels like hanging out with a friend who tells it exactly as it is.

Carol and the cast we’ve come to love
Kristin’s wig fund and how it took on a life of its own
