My name is Jaime Leigh, I am a Hairstylist working in the film industry, originally from Aotearoa New Zealand, but now based in Long Beach, California.

It all began during COVID, as did many podcasts. I was working on some wigs and getting a bit tired of listening to True Crime podcasts, I love them but boy oh boy do they not only make me paranoid I will become the victim in one, but they also lower my faith in humanity! So I decided to search for a podcast about our industry, specifically Makeup & Hair, to help feel more inspired.

I found a few bits & pieces scattered on different streaming platforms, but they were mainly speaking to Makeup Artists and with me being a Hairstylist, I wanted to hear from both sides and specifically those working in the TV and Film world.

So in my usual fashion, I started complaining to my husband Brett Stanley and his response was “well why don’t you start one then?”, my response to this was “don’t be crazy!”

But once that seed was planted, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Brett helped me with all the technical stuff & his suggestion was, “just do one interview with someone you know and trust, if you hate it, it stops there, or you keep doing it”.

Well, obviously I just kept on truckin’ with it & here I am today, doing something I never thought I would or could ever do!
