Behind the Glam With @katecutmyhair: Corporate Abuse, Non-Competes & Hair Industry Secrets

This episode pulls back the curtain on the hair industry’s biggest lie—that working for a major brand, doing Fashion Week, and chasing influencer fame is the ultimate dream. It’s not. We sit down with a veteran stylist who left behind the corporate beauty world after years of travel, burnout, toxic contracts, and being treated as disposable talent. From behind-the-scenes chaos at Fashion Week to the reality of brand politics, non-competes, and influencer takeovers, this conversation exposes what really happens when you “make it” in the beauty industry. We get brutally honest about: The dark side of working for major hair brands Why stylists are walking away from corporate and going back behind the chair How the rise of influencers is reshaping (and damaging) the industry The truth about money, burnout, and the illusion of success Why building a loyal clientele will always beat chasing online fame If you’re a hairstylist, salon owner, or anyone in the beauty industry, this is the reality check no one gives you—until now. 🎙️ Raw. Unfiltered. No industry BS.
