Trendy with Kim Allison

Kim Allison

Trendy with Kim Allison is a hair podcast hosted by veteran hairdresser and former salon owner Kim Allison. Drawing from nearly three decades behind the chair, Kim brings candid perspective to the hair industry, salon life, beauty, business, culture and the everyday questions people are already talking about.


Each week, Kim pulls from one of five colored folders.


Salon Stories: Client dilemmas, hairdresser experiences and the situations that prove salon life is never boring.


Beauty Culture: Changing beauty standards, cosmetic trends, aging and society’s relationship with appearance.


Life’s Lessons: Personal growth, relationships, confidence and navigating life’s unexpected shifts.


Money: Business, pricing, value, success and financial decisions affecting hairdressers and their clients.


Pop Culture: Celebrity news, viral moments and the larger questions hiding underneath what stopped the scroll.


Some episodes stay firmly in the hair world. Others take the conversation somewhere completely unexpected. What connects them all is Kim’s perspective, shaped by decades of listening, observing and working with people behind the salon chair.


New episodes 3x weekly.

    Why Is My Gray Hair Already Back?

    Welcome back to the yellow folder for some salon stories, you guys! Today we are tackling one of the most frustrating questions I get asked behind the chair: why does it look like your gray hair is already back just two weeks after a color service? We are exploring the illusion of color contrast, how to do a quick "mirror test" on your strands, and whether your fast-growing roots are a stylist error or just nature taking its course. Consider this your quick precursor, and be sure to tune in this Wednesday when we are fully diving into the meat and potatoes of greying hair, root coverage, and the right way to use those temporary concealers.
