Salon Truths, Hair Myths & A Lot of Laughter Behind the Chair (ft. Tweet the Stylist)

In this episode of Trendy with Kim Allison, special guest Kym Jones aka Tweet joins the conversation to break down the real truths about the hair industry.

From rising prices and healthy hair goals to protective styles, scalp care, and social media expectations, the hosts dive into what clients need to understand and what stylists wish more people knew. They talk about why education matters, how consultations build trust, and why not every stylist is trained for every texture.

If you’ve ever wondered why services cost what they do, how to truly maintain healthy hair, or how social media is shaping beauty standards, this episode is for you.
