Celebrity hairstylist Clayton Hawkins is back, and this time we're getting into everything — the creative process behind some of his most talked-about work with Meg Stalter, the beauty references he keeps returning to that the rest of the industry is sleeping on, and the wigs and extensions conversation that's quietly taken over Hollywood. We also get into something the beauty and styling world doesn't talk about enough: the economics of being a working artist, from unpaid asks to promised credits that never materialize. If you've ever wondered what actually goes into building a career at the top of the hair world, tune in now.
