What’s the secret to Olivia Rodrigo’s perfect, shiny locks? Two words: Clayton Hawkins. The incredibly talented (and absolutely hilarious) hairstylist is on the pod today to share his journey to celebrity styling, from applying hair extensions on his older sisters as a tween to creating iconic hairstyles for Olivia Rodrigo, Elizabeth Olsen, Ali Wong, Dove Cameron, and Jennifer Coolidge. Clayton shares the styles he thinks are going to be big in 2024 (ombrés are BACK, babes!) and the tools and products he thinks are absolutely necessary to have in your hair wardrobe. He also gives great advice for up-and-coming hairstylists on how to break into the business (frequent trips to Naimie’s and a lot of persistence) and the five things he would never do as a hairstylist.  Shop the episode Naimie's Nigel Beauty Emporium Frends Beauty GlossAngelesPod.com https://glossangeles.komi.io CALL US: 424-341-0426 Shop products from our episodes Join our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/glossangelespodcast Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratan Twitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratan Email: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Starting a beauty brand might seem glamorous — especially according to social media — but the hard reality is that being a founder and navigating the insanely crowded and complicated beauty space can be disheartening and even impossible. On today’s episode, we have beauty veteran Amy Zunzunegui, founder of recently-shuttered WLDKAT skincare, to give us the honest truth about what it’s like to start and shut down a beauty brand. Tune in to hear what Zunzunegui learned from her days at Urban Decay (developing iconic products like the NAKED Palette and Moondust eyeshadows), what the highs and lows of launching her own brand were, what she was up against when creating CBD beauty products, and what she wants up-and-coming founders to know when starting their own brands.

We’re discussing the “Sephora Kids” phenomenon — an offshoot of our “Tweenage Clean” episode from last year. Reports of children running rampant (and unattended) at the retailer are riling up the internet. Nasty behavior, destroying testers — these are a few things that have people upset. Knowing tweens and teens are eager to shop at beauty retailers, should places like Ulta and Sephora develop sections specifically made for them? Why or why not? Kirbie and Sara debate this topic on the show, but we want to hear from you. Plus, there’s another beauty acquisition to discuss, and we’ve got some interesting beauty tech to explore from trade show CES in Vegas.
