Asking my barber friends some important questions!

I travelled 7000 miles in 5 days with a half-finished shop back in NYC. Was this the worst timing ever… or the power move my team actually needed?

Welcome to Week 3 of the HB Fest BTS saga. I hit Eugene, Oregon to teach at the Beauty Expo, jumped in the truck with my best friend Matty for a 364-mile road trip to Canada, filmed a ton of tour content, then flew straight back to New York. Absolute chaos on paper, but an awesome trip in reality.

And here’s the twist: while I was gone, my crew held it down like pros. Chairs packed, clients happy, Low Ear thriving.

But the move? Not so thriving. We’re still chasing down a $15,000 safety deposit, plus contractors, payroll, and shop bills stacking up.

So here’s where you come in: combs & dice. Every single sale gets us closer to flying the whole NYC squad to HB Fest to learn from the best in the game.

If you love us, if your hair loves us, if your best friend’s cousin’s hair loves us—grab one. Comment “comb” and I’ll hook you up.
Palm Springs is calling… and we’re answering.

Everybody that’s just started a business or has been at it for a while knows the ever present fear of the first ONE Star Review!!!

No matter how much you avoid it, run from it or achieve perfect customer service, there’s always going to be that one instance where something goes wrong… and THIS is your guide on how to deal with it.

Remain calm, follow the right steps and you can turn it into a SOLID 5 star review.

And yeah, there’s always going to be that one troll. But don’t worry, I have a message for them right near the end of the video.

If you asked me almost TEN years ago that I would have the privilege to go on an education tour with my best friend mattyconrad I would have laughed in your face. But honestly we couldn’t be more excited to announce our big education tour!!! 

Matty and I have so much experience between the two of us, hes opened up multiple barbershops for the every gentleman using classic techniques and beard focused education . Me? I’m just a small girl in the big city. One heavily niche high end men’s focused salon that focuses on the details and high end hospitality.

But that’s what makes this education tour so special! We cover it all no matter what speaks to you or to your every day client because in the years of us being friends even with all our differences, we realized the table can always get longer and more accommodating for all barbers who are serious about taking their skills to the next level. 

I couldn’t be more excited so if you’re interested in having us in your shop or city make sure to comment “tour” so we can get you on the list!

Ahh! So excited! See you soon ❤️ #menshaircut #newyorkbarber #mattyconrad #barbereducation 2025-08-28 23:02:16 If yo.. 348 +29% 151 +568%
SO…. WHAT’S THE SECRET TO JACK DAWSON HAIR?! (Other than being Leonardo DiCaprio in 1997 of course )
This… is what I’ve got a lot since my last video on Hollywood hair science, so here’s the breakdown for you! 

Jack’s cut was all about:

1) Layers with movement not boyband layers.
2) Lived-in texture not crunchy gel or shiny pomade.
3) A part that just fell there because it wanted to. Like it literally looks like it just wants to SOO BAD! 

And the key? It never looked fresh-from-the-shop.
Vintage hair tells a story. We cut for that.

If you want the kind of hair people remember 100 years later… come see us at low__ear.

Week 2 of the HB Fest grind, and let me tell you… it’s been chaos.

Opening a new shop that’s still under construction, prepping classes for one of the biggest barber events of the year, fighting through a chest infection, and still finding time to sell enough combs to get my whole team to Palm Springs.

Because here’s the thing: HB Fest isn’t just another barber show. It’s the place where the best in the industry gather, share, and raise the bar. And I want my entire crew in the room to learn, grow, and bring that energy back to Low Ear.

We’re 15% of the way there already, but with less than a month left, we need your help to hit 100. Every comb or dice you grab gets us closer.

So grab one for yourself, one for your friend, and maybe one for that barber who needs a wake-up call.

When I laced up my running shoes again at 40, I quickly realized something: it wasn’t my legs holding me back, it was my hair.

Because here’s the truth: training for a marathon isn’t just about miles. It’s about everything that gets in the way of those miles. And if you’re running with long hair, sweat, knots, and headbands can wreck your style faster than the run wrecks your quads.

But that doesn’t mean you need to chop it all off. With the right prep: gentle towel-drying, a quick blast with a diffuser, and a low ponytail that doesn’t pull, you can keep your hair healthy and still log the miles. Add a little dry shampoo post-run and suddenly you’re not just a runner, you’re a runner who looks like they have their life together.

That’s the balance. Running is supposed to make you feel strong, not send you to work looking like you fought a leaf blower.

If you want the exact breakdown of products designed for runners, comment “runner” and I’ll send it your way.

I still remember the day we opened up for the first time. One of the most exciting days I can remember… and Low Ear has always felt like home. 
It started as four walls, two chairs, and a community that showed up so big we barely had room to breathe. And just when it felt like we’d found our groove, the rug got pulled out, 120 days to move out, yikes! 
But… all it did was allow us to envision something bigger. Come in Low Ear 2.0! It’s bigger, it’s better and it has room for more teammates to join. 
And… it’s not fully built out yet, haha! In same Low Ear fashion, we ran into A LOT of hurdles on opening day… but we learn, we adapt and we’re fully functional now! Though you might hear a hammer or two sometimes. 
If you’ve been rocking with us since day one, you already know, it’s never just about the cut. It’s about growing together, through every mess and milestone.
Can’t wait to see you come in soon! 
Comment “COMB” and I’ll send over a link to buy. Time for you to regrow lost hair. (It’s a rumor!)

What makes a $100 haircut worth it? Spoiler: it’s not just the haircut.

When clients spend top dollar, they’re not paying for a quick snip, they’re paying for the entire experience. From the way they’re greeted at the door, to a space that feels intentional and welcoming, to a consultation that actually listens, Every. Detail. Counts.

Yes, technical skills matter. But luxury pricing lives in the details, the hospitality, the personal touches, and the confidence that comes from a cut that feels like it was designed for you.

At Low Ear, We’ve built our approach around that idea: you should leave not only looking sharper, but feeling like the entire process respected your time, your style, and your individuality. That’s what makes a haircut high-end.

Want to see for yourself? Comment “book” and I’ll DM you a booking link for the Low Ear team! See you there!!! 2025-08-16 23:05:41 What ma.. 1,173 +336% 45 +99%
Whether you loved or hated The Last Of Us Season 2, Pedro Pascal’s hair did exactly what Hollywood hair is supposed to do: build a brand. His look reads “soft authority”, approachable, a little rugged, always camera-friendly, and it’s been a quiet constant as he’s moved from cult favorite to household name.

On-screen, that mid-length, lived-in shape gives directors range: hero, professor, apocalypse survivor, red-carpet charmer. Off-screen, it’s recognizably him! The kind of signature that keeps press photos, premieres, and late-night appearances feeling cohesive. Credit to the hair teams, yes! But also to Pedro for sticking with a silhouette that supports his roles and the story he’s telling.

Wanna work with Low Ear team to achieve your favourite look? Comment “Pedro.” I’ll DM you my direct booking link. And yeah, follow for more celebrity hair breakdowns. 2025-08-14 22:51:49 Wheth.. 101 -62% 0 -100%
Most bad haircuts start before the scissors even touch your head.

It’s not always about how “good” your barber is, it’s about the conversation you have first. The right questions set the tone for the entire cut. What’s your day-to-day like? Are you someone who takes 10 minutes to style or 2 seconds? Does the reference photo actually work for your hair type?

Skipping these steps means your cut is based on guesswork, not your reality. That’s why consultations aren’t just polite small talk, they’re where the real work begins.

I’ve put together a Pre-Haircut Consultation Checklist you can bring to your next appointment (or, if you’re a barber, use with your own clients).

Comment “IMPORTANCE” and I’ll send it your way.

Because a great cut doesn’t happen by accident — it’s built from the first question you ask.

Here’s a quick one for ya! 
If your haircut looks great for two days and then completely falls apart… you’re not alone.
But... it doesn’t have to be that way.

There are a few small things your barber should be doing that make a big difference.
Clean edges slow down the messy grow-out.
Soft, intentional layers keep things from looking bulky or flat.
And strategic texture helps the shape hold longer—even as it grows.

These are the same principles I’ve followed behind the chair for the last 20 years—and they work.

Is there anything else your barber does to make your haircut last longer?

So mullets are back… and before you roll your eyes!! Hear me out.

This isn’t the stiff, spiky situation your uncle had in 1987. The modern mullet? She’s soft. She’s textured. She’s intentional.

Low tapers on the side, airy movement on top, and a fringe that actually flatters your face. It’s giving… edge and effortlessness. Which, hi, that’s the dream.

Honestly? I love that we’re bringing fun and flavor back to hair. And if you’re still on the fence, just remember: nothing grows character like a bold haircut, ESPECIALLY a mullet!

Would you rock one?

Real talk! If you’re cutting hair and you’re not in Eugene, Oregon, on August 16th and 17th... respectfully, you’re missing out.
I’m joining forces with some serious industry heavy-hitters at this year’s Beauty Education Expo at The Lane Events Center. And trust me when I say, we’re bringing the heat. Alongside legends like Brian Hickman, Mikey Denton, Joseph Rene, and GQ’s official ‘Coolest Barber on Instagram’ (Matty Conrad himself), I’m breaking down exactly what I’ve learned after 20+ years and tens of thousands spent on education.
We’re talking modern barbering techniques, mastering your client experience, and strategies to seriously level-up your business game, no gatekeeping AT ALL, just real talk and real skills you can put to work the second you get home.
If you’re as serious about your craft as I am, this one’s non-negotiable. Get your ticket, bring your notebook, and come find me. I wanna meet you.
Comment “EXPO” below and I’ll DM you a direct link.

Is flying my whole NYC crew to Palm Springs for hairbrained_official HB Fest the smartest move ever or a total face-plant waiting to happen? Honestly… could literally go either way.

HB Fest is THE place to level-up your barber game. Think: three days of hands-on learning, industry icons sharing pro tips, and barbers from across the world cutting side-by-side. If you’re serious about fades, styling, and building your business—this event’s your Superbowl.

And yes, your girl’s on the lineup. Two look-and-learn classes breaking down the REAL techniques I’ve honed over 20 years—no fluff, just results.

But here’s the deal: I want my whole team there to learn and grow. So I’m hustling extra hard (what else is new?), selling our cute little Low Ear combs and dice sets to get us there. Wanna support your favorite barbers? LINK IS IN THE BIO

Countdown’s on—Palm Spings, here we come. Let the chaos begin!

A badass cut isn’t about trends, it’s about storytelling. It’s about knowing which hairstyle flatters an actor’s natural texture, face shape, and vibe, then using that to amplify their character’s personality. This is why some movie looks become instantly unforgettable, while others leave you cringing in your seat. And that… is what we’re breaking down!

From iconic 90s heartthrobs to ruthless villains, Hollywood gets it right (and WRONG) more often than you’d think.

When I saw Timothée Chalamet in Dune… again! I couldn’t help but notice they had perfected his hair game. But his hair wasn’t always this iconic. The messy-but-perfect look he’s famous for now? That takes strategy, not luck.

First up: layering. Too little, it looks flat. Too much, it gets frizzy. Timothée’s stylist hit that perfect middle, creating what I call “controlled chaos.” Next, the fringe—it’s a face-framing masterpiece. Fringe can either make your face look off-balance or sculpted; Chalamet’s stylist knew exactly how to nail it. And lastly, consistency. You don’t keep great hair by accident—regular trims, thoughtful adjustments, and professional guidance keep it camera-ready every single day.

20 years in the game, I can promise you no hair evolution happens overnight. Want me to break down another celeb’s hair secrets? Hit follow here and on TikTok, and drop your requests in the comments.

With endless haircare product recommendations flooding your feed, especially every influencer and celebrity looking to cash in their “aura” with their own lineups, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But trust me, after 20 years cutting hair and running Low Ear, I’ve tested enough products to know what really works.
Skip the endless influencer promos and stick with these three must-haves:
1️⃣ Light Hold Cream: Your daily go-to. It keeps your hair soft and manageable without the crunchy or greasy look. If you’ve ever said, “I want it styled but natural,” this is your new best friend.
2️⃣ Texturizing Paste: The secret weapon for flat hair. Adds volume, lift, and a matte finish. Perfect for when you want your style to hold from brunch to late-night hangs.
3️⃣ A Solid Blow Dryer: Seriously, don’t sleep on this one. A good blow dryer elevates everything else in your routine—this is the tool I swear by!
Bottom line: hairstyling should be simple, stress-free, and tailored to YOU. Ignore the hype, grab these three, and thank me later.

Everyone was busy talking about Austin Butler in Dune… but the real star was his hair (or lack thereof lol). But that’s not to take away from the great hair Austin’s always showed up with, so…

In this video, I’m breaking down why his signature haircut works—and how small details in your cut can do big things for your brand, your face shape, and how you show up in the world.

Here’s something new for all of you… something I’ve wanted to do for a while. Celebrity/Character hair review. Let me know if I should make this into a series!
