Don’t Make This Weird: Things Stylists Really Wish Clients Knew
Jan 09, 2026This week, the girls open up for one of the most honest and emotional episodes yet — a real look into what life is like behind the chair. From the deep bonds they build with their clients to the stories they carry home at night, Tessa, Michelle, and Monica share what they wish every client truly understood.
They talk about the way stylists grieve with you, celebrate with you, and become woven into the biggest (and hardest) chapters of your life. They open up about doing hair for clients nearing the end of life, navigating surgeries and health st...
Duration: 00:27:06The Client Chaos Edition
Jan 02, 2026Things get *wild* in the salon this week as Monica, Tessa, and Michelle dive into real-life “client chaos” scenarios — from half-finished box dye disasters to influencers asking for free hair. The trio doesn’t hold back as they share how they’d handle everything from last-minute cancellations and surprise “I can’t pay” moments to toddlers going full Edward Scissorhands with salon shears. Between laughter, blunt honesty, and a few too-relatable stories (including prom moms and unpaid tabs), the stylists keep it real about boundaries, respect, and the everyday madness behind the chair. This one’s equal parts therapy session and comedy...
Duration: 00:31:49"Take the Blow Dryer Out of My Hand & See What Happens!"
Dec 26, 2025This episode has everything: salon trauma, rogue blow dryers, aging knees, sleeping clients, and a heated debate over developer volumes that might need a trigger warning. Tessa, Michelle, and Monica get brutally honest about what the job really does to your body, why you don’t have to tolerate bad behavior anymore, and how Firmaglo is rescuing hair that’s one appointment away from becoming a hay bale. Equal parts educational, emotional, and absolutely feral.

Don’t Stick Your Wick in the Wrong Candle Wax
Dec 19, 2025Toni Vanschoyck and daughter Kat jump in for a no-holds-barred conversation that proves Fermaglo products may be clean — but the girls' mouths definitely aren’t. The group tackles salon boundaries, blow dryer theft, why some clients should be fired on the spot, and how swearing might actually reduce stress. Along the way, they break down real hair transformations, massive regrowth, ditching 50+ product lines, and the power of clean routines. Toss in cheating scandals, leadership rants, and candle wax metaphors, and you’ve got a classic Hair It Ferst episode.

Stocking Wars, Ridiculous Wish Lists & Holiday Meltdowns
Dec 12, 2025From a child requesting $2,800 cash to husbands buying surprise gifts nobody asked for, this episode captures the true spirit of mom-life at Christmas: exhaustion, laughter, and a whole lot of wrapping paper. The girls compare traditions, confess snooping stories, debate whether gifts must be equal, and rally together against the universal struggle of partners who think a vacuum is a gift. A perfect December listen for anyone trying to survive the season.
Duration: 00:36:56ADHD, Anxiety, & Why We're One Nudge Away from the Nuke Button
Dec 05, 2025The ladies dive straight into holiday chaos, surprise ADHD diagnoses, anxiety-fueled overthinking, and the mental load women still carry every day. From stepping into a nurse huddle thinking it was a prayer circle (spoiler: it wasn’t) to debating whether women should have access to the nuclear button, this episode is equal parts hilarious and painfully real. Grab your coffee — or your ditch flowers — and settle in for a conversation every woman will feel in her soul.
Duration: 00:35:53Keep Scrolling & Mind Your Tweet-Tweet Business

They also dive into whether exes belong at weddings (with Monica’s wild real-life twist), the things adults get way too excited to buy, why preschool drop-off is chaos, and the freedom of not giving a “tweet tweet” about what people think anymore.
It’s loud...
