Alex Yarber

I sat down with Alex Yarber (one of Elevate's educators, straight out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama) in a hot tub of all places, and we got into EVERYTHING. We talked about: ✨ running a salon when you're never actually home ✨ what happens when the internet turns on you, and how to not let it wreck you ✨ buying back your time (hiring help is not the flex people think it is, it's survival) ✨ the WILD scrappy things Alex did to book clients before he made it... including a Tinder profile that got him banned for life 😂 ✨ why it's not enough to just be good at hair anymore ✨ doing makeup for Megan Thee Stallion's swim line and what New York Fashion Week is actually like backstage ✨ Alex's coming out story, growing up gay in a small conservative town in Alabama ✨ and yes... we taste tested possum flavored candy live on the episode. Don't ask. Just listen. 🙃 Alex is about to start teaching mesh integration classes with me at Elevate this year and honey, I cannot wait to show y'all what we're building. This one is funny, it's real, and it might make you tear up a little too. Go give it a listen and tell me your favorite part 👇 FInd Alex Yarber on Instagram: @alexyarberr
