Welcome back to another episode of Salon After Hours! Today we're joined by two amazing hairstylists and moms, Brianna (@hairby_briannalynn) and Alexandra (@themanerule_). We're diving deep into the realities of balancing motherhood and a career in hair, from juggling work and family to navigating the ever-changing world of hair. We'll be chatting about setting hair goals for 2025, the curly hair journey (and the struggles!), and the challenges stylists face with client expectations. Plus, we'll have some fun with "This or That" questions! Tune in for laughs, relatable stories, and hair wisdom!

In this episode, we’re discussing…

Mom Life is Real: Balancing work, family, and self-care is a constant juggle. Finding time for yourself is crucial, even if it's just a quick shower or a night out with friends. Remember, crying is okay!
Postpartum Hair Changes: Hair changes are normal after pregnancy. Be prepared for potential hair loss, texture changes, and awkward regrowth. Prenatal vitamins can help, and extensions can be a great way to boost confidence during this phase. It's also important to be patient – it can take time for your hair to recover.
Hair Goals 2025: This year is all about finding a good work-life balance and maximizing time in the salon and at home. For new moms, it's about adjusting to the new normal and finding what works best for them.
Curly Hair Struggles (and Solutions!): Curly hair has a mind of its own! Finding the right products and techniques is key. Simple is often better, and it's important to embrace your natural texture. Learning how to care for curly hair can be a game-changer.
The Challenge of Client Expectations: Sometimes clients have unrealistic expectations, whether it's achieving a certain color or style or having hair like a celebrity. Honest communication and finding compromises are essential. It's also important to remember that healthy hair is the priority.
