Eight - Beyond Hair

Okay… can we talk about this episode for a second?I sat down with Juney Radford, and I’m telling you right now, this conversation is different.Like yes… we talk about hair, but not in the way you think.Because what she does?It’s not just installs. It’s not just “before and after.”It’s women sitting in her chair who don’t feel like themselves anymore…and her helping them get that back.And if you’re in this industry, you know how big that is.We got into the emotional side of hair loss…the stuff clients don’t always say out loud…and what it actually takes to show up for them at that level.And I loved this part because Juney doesn’t just “do hair.”She sees the person first. That’s the difference.So if you’re a stylist and you want to go deeper with your clients…or you’ve ever had someone sit in your chair and you just knew there was more going on…You need to listen to this.It’ll shift how you think about what we do.Go listen and tell me what hit you 🤍And go follow her → @iamjuneybee

This episode is one you’re going to feel.I sat down with Sarayah Hernandez, salon owner of East Coast Salon in New Jersey.She is an entrepreneur, visionary, and one of the most resilient women I know in this industry.And when I tell you she didn’t just build a business… she fought for it.We’re talking about what it really looks like behind the scenes, the pivots, the pressure, the moments where most people would’ve quit… and how she kept going anyway. Sarayah has created something so much bigger than a salon. She’s built a brand, a community, and a standard.If you’re a stylist who knows you’re meant for more…If you’ve ever felt the weight of building something on your own…If you’re in that season where you’re being stretched and you’re not sure what’s on the other side yet…This conversation is going to hit you.We talk about growth, identity, leadership, and what it actually takes to step into the next level of your life and business, even when it’s uncomfortable.And I promise you… you’re going to walk away from this episode thinking differently.Connect with Sarayah:Instagram: @eastcoast_salon@sarayahhernandez@eastcoast_organiccoffeebarWebsite: www.eastcoastsalonnj.combeyondyourbusiness.co

When I first started this podcast, I called it Hairstylist Only.But there was a number that kept showing up in my mind… 8.I ignored it at first. I thought a number couldn’t possibly be a good podcast name. But the more I sat with it, the more it kept calling to me. After the second episode, I finally listened and changed the name to Eight.The number 8 represents completion, abundance, and infinite growth ... and that’s exactly what this podcast is about.Our first episode features Sarah Page, an extension stylist extraordinaire who has helped educate an entire industry. Through consistency, generosity, and powerful education on Instagram, Sarah built an incredible brand while giving away massive value to hairstylists around the world.In this episode, we talk about her journey, how she built her platform, and the impact she’s made on the extension industry.Enjoy Sarah’s story.Follow Sarah here:Personal Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/sarahpagehairExtension Education Page:https://www.instagram.com/advancedextensionedu
