Dear Beauty

This week, we're pulling back the curtain on something women are often asked about but rarely discuss honestly: weight, the shot, and what it costs to lose weight.We get into the real stuff, the stigma around the shot, the hair loss nobody warns you about, the way fast weight loss hollows out your face, and the closet-eating patterns that started long before any of it. We walk through Marilyn Monroe to Twiggy to 90s heroin chic, and the generational comments that stuck with us ("you have such a pretty face, but…"). This is the conversation about weight and aging that we wish we'd heard a long time ago.New episodes every other Friday at 12 PM ET.Hosted by: Eva Harris & Mary MillerEva Harris:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/eva.thebeautylounge/⁠Mary Miller:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mary_thesalonexperience/Website: https://davidandmary.com/The Beauty Lounge Salon + Medspa:Website: ⁠https://www.beautyloungecarmel.com/⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/beautyloungecarmel/⁠Listen to Dear Beauty:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4LelRjuQw5ueq2QFmsPyKx?si=d2c30abea435407dApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dear-beauty/id1890509605YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DearBeautyPod/podcasts#DearBeauty #BeautyLounge #BeautyPodcast #HairSalon #BeautyIndustry #SalonOwner #CarmelIndiana #HairstylistLife #BehindTheSalonChair #WomenInBusiness #BeautyLoungePodcast #EvaHarris #MaryMiller #DavidAndMary #BodyChanges #WomensHealth #Midlife #AgingGracefully #WomenOver40 #WomenOver50Chapters:0:23 - Welcome Back0:45 - Our GLP-1 Stories1:30 - Six Years Old and 70 Pounds: Mary's Weight History4:41 - "You Have Such a Pretty Face, But..."5:53 - The Stigma Around the Weight Loss Shot6:47 - Hair or Thin: The Tradeoff8:40 - How Weight Loss Ages You11:36 - Mary's 2-Pound M&M Confession14:03 - Marilyn Monroe to Twiggy to 90s Heroin Chic18:12 - Why Hairdressers Wear Black20:39 - Sensible Weight Loss24:21 - Body Image, Dating, and Society28:09 - Fillers, Neurotoxins, and Aging

In this episode, we get into the real conversation around hair loss , why it's hitting women harder than ever, what's actually driving it (Covid, GLP-1s, perimenopause, diet, stress), and what you can do about it from the inside out. We cover nutrition, red light therapy, scalp health, and the right products. Plus, Eva walks us through mesh integration, a new technique with only two practitioners in the state of Indiana, and why it's changing the game for women who thought they were out of options.Hair is the crown we wear every day. When you start losing it, you lose part of your identity. This one's for every woman who's noticed more in the drain than she used to.New episodes every other Friday at 12 PM ET.Hosted by: Eva Harris & Mary MillerEva Harris:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eva.thebeautylounge/Mary Miller:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mary_thesalonexperience/Website: https://davidandmary.com/The Beauty Lounge Salon + Medspa:Website: https://www.beautyloungecarmel.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beautyloungecarmel/Listen to Dear Beauty:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4LelRjuQw5ueq2QFmsPyKx?si=d2c30abea435407dApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dear-beauty/id1890509605YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DearBeautyPod/podcasts#DearBeauty #BeautyLounge #BeautyPodcast #HairSalon #BeautyIndustry #SalonOwner #CarmelIndiana #HairstylistLife #BehindTheSalonChair #WomenInBusiness #BeautyLoungePodcast #EvaHarris #MaryMiller #DavidAndMary #HairLoss #HairHealth #HairLossSolutions #WomensHairLoss #ScalpHealth #HairExtensions #NutrafolChapters:0:03 - Opening: Hair Extensions Since Middle School0:25 - Welcome to Dear Beauty0:40 - Today's Topic: Hair Loss1:51 - Hair Loss and Identity3:14 - Why Hair Loss Is More Common Than Ever6:15 - Eva's Personal Hair Loss Story9:10 - What Worked: Nutrafol and Nutrition10:37 - Red Light Therapy and Scalp Treatments12:39 - Mesh Integration: A New Solution for Thinning Hair16:05 - How the Process Works18:44 - Pricing and Maintenance22:49 - Healthy Scalp, Healthy Hair24:36 - Calecim: Micro Needling with Stem Cells29:35 - What You Do Today Shows Up Later30:01 - Send Us Your Questions

In Episode 1, we're taking you back to the beginning. We share how a Broadway-dreaming girl from Ball State ended up building one of Indianapolis's most respected salons, and how a young stylist walked into David and Mary's with a cover letter in hand and a Chevy Cavalier in the parking lot. You'll also hear how two Leos, who didn't always see eye to eye, kept finding our way back to each other.This episode is all about our origin stories: where we started, what those early years really looked like, and why, after 20, 40, however many years, we still love what we do.Plus, we're giving you a sneak peek at what's coming: hair loss, weight loss, aging, going gray, and all the things nobody tells you about building a career in beauty.New episodes every other Friday at 12 PM ET.Hosted by: Eva Harris & Mary MillerEva Harris:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/eva.thebeautylounge/⁠Mary Miller:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mary_thesalonexperience/ Website: https://davidandmary.com/The Beauty Lounge Salon + Medspa:Website: ⁠https://www.beautyloungecarmel.com/⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/beautyloungecarmel/⁠
