Let’s be real — if there’s salon drama, it’s probably going down in the breakroom.

In Episode 6 of Studio Make It Happen, we’re back where the chaos lives — talking culture, client care, and just how much bonding is too much.

Megan loves the energy in the breakroom but reminds us: “You don’t make money in there.” 💸 Still, the laughter, friendship, and straight-up weird convos? Kinda priceless.

We cover:
🥒 Pickle pizza (yep, it’s a thing)
💉 Ozempic talk — who's using it, what it's like, and the side-eye it gets
🖋 Tiny tattoo parties and our fave fine line artist
👯‍♀️ Matching “Make It Happen” tattoos? You’ll have to listen in...
📲 Shoutouts to Sophie Rickle and her viral breakroom TikToks!

And we want to hear from YOU: What kind of content do you want to see on our TikTok? Tutorials? Behind-the-scenes? Spill it.

Where’s the line between friendship and professionalism in a salon? Between client care and personal connection? Between confidence and cosmetic tweaks?

In this week’s episode of Studio Make It Happen, we’re talking about all the ways things can get blurry behind the chair — in the best and most complicated ways.

💬 Are close friendships in the salon healthy or risky?
💇‍♀️ Can clients get too comfortable?
📣 What should stylists market — themselves or the salon?
💉 And yes, we even get into Botox, tummy tucks, and what we would do if we ever get famous.

This episode is funny, reflective, and full of the moments you don’t usually hear in a beauty business podcast.
