In this week’s episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I’m sitting down with Emily Prince, Founder of the luxury loc studio Privacy Parlor, to talk about what it really means to take up space as a beauty pro. We cover everything from grieving while running a business, to the emotional labor of being a Black woman in the beauty industry, to why locs are still not fully included in mainstream beauty conversations. Plus, Emily shares the biggest mistakes people make with their locs—and how to avoid them.
🌿 Topics We Cover:
Taking up space in your personal + professional life
Healing through grief as an entrepreneur
Why locs are still excluded in beauty conversations
Loc education: mistakes, myths + what clients should know
Building Privacy Parlor from scratch
Mindset shifts for showing up fully as yourself
📌 Subscribe for more interviews that inspire beauty pros to be seen, heard, and PAID.
