Be advised: this episode discusses several aspects of plastic surgery. Please skip this episode if you’re not in a headspace to listen to this conversation. This week, Kirbie’s Allure story on the “right” age for a facelift was published. To go further into this conversation, we invited one of Kirbie’s sources for the story, Dr. Cat Chang, onto the pod. Dr. Chang is a board-certified, quadruple Ivy League plastic and reconstructive surgeon. She’s answering a bunch of questions, like why people are reversing procedures that were popular the past 5-10 years, why there’s been an uptick in facial plastic surgery, the consequences of filler long-term, why Botox is her preferred neuromodulator, and what you need to know if you’re considering a facelift. Shop this episode GlossAngelesPod.comhttps://glossangeles.komi.ioCALL US: 424-341-0426Shop products from our episodesJoin our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/glossangelespodcastInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

We also had to talk about the industry’s biggest launch of the year: Cécred from one Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter. We break down the product offerings and the brand's messaging, including its focus on rituals and its use of biomimetic keratin. We want to know — are you going to buy into Bey haircare?

What’s the secret to Olivia Rodrigo’s perfect, shiny locks? Two words: Clayton Hawkins. The incredibly talented (and absolutely hilarious) hairstylist is on the pod today to share his journey to celebrity styling, from applying hair extensions on his older sisters as a tween to creating iconic hairstyles for Olivia Rodrigo, Elizabeth Olsen, Ali Wong, Dove Cameron, and Jennifer Coolidge. Clayton shares the styles he thinks are going to be big in 2024 (ombrés are BACK, babes!) and the tools and products he thinks are absolutely necessary to have in your hair wardrobe. He also gives great advice for up-and-coming hairstylists on how to break into the business (frequent trips to Naimie’s and a lot of persistence) and the five things he would never do as a hairstylist. Shop the episodeNaimie'sNigel Beauty EmporiumFrends BeautyGlossAngelesPod.comhttps://glossangeles.komi.ioCALL US: 424-341-0426Shop products from our episodesJoin our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/glossangelespodcastInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Then, in news: chemical sunscreen may have a big problem come February 15th, and will potentially need an over $200M bailout. Paging Lauren Sanchez!

Starting a beauty brand might seem glamorous — especially according to social media — but the hard reality is that being a founder and navigating the insanely crowded and complicated beauty space can be disheartening and even impossible. On today’s episode, we have beauty veteran Amy Zunzunegui, founder of recently-shuttered WLDKAT skincare, to give us the honest truth about what it’s like to start and shut down a beauty brand. Tune in to hear what Zunzunegui learned from her days at Urban Decay (developing iconic products like the NAKED Palette and Moondust eyeshadows), what the highs and lows of launching her own brand were, what she was up against when creating CBD beauty products, and what she wants up-and-coming founders to know when starting their own brands.
