About the show

Trendy with Kim Allison is a hair podcast hosted by veteran hairdresser and former salon owner Kim Allison. Drawing from nearly three decades behind the chair, Kim brings candid perspective to the hair industry, salon life, beauty, business, culture and the everyday questions people are already talking about. Each week, Kim pulls from one of five colored folders. Salon Stories: Client dilemmas, hairdresser experiences and the situations that prove salon life is never boring. Beauty Culture: Changing beauty standards, cosmetic trends, aging and society’s relationship with appearance. Life’s Lessons: Personal growth, relationships, confidence and navigating life’s unexpected shifts. Money: Business, pricing, value, success and financial decisions affecting hairdressers and their clients. Pop Culture: Celebrity news, viral moments and the larger questions hiding underneath what stopped the scroll. Some episodes stay firmly in the hair world. Others take the conversation somewhere completely unexpected. What connects them all is Kim’s perspective, shaped by decades of listening, observing and working with people behind the salon chair. New episodes 3x weekly. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
