The Secret Lives of Tone Baddies Podcast
Hosted by Leda Fazal, owner of Tone Hair Salon in Raleigh, NC
Step into the salon chair and listen in as the Tone Hair Salon team keeps it real on everything from botched blondes to purple shampoo fails. In this debut episode, host Leda Fazal and her stylists go deep on the most common color mistakes in the industry, why most stylists “lift to tone,” and how to truly deliver long-lasting results for your clients.
You’ll hear first-hand stylist confessions, salon hiring stories, industry tea, and lessons you never learned in beauty school. Whether you’re a stylist, salon owner, or obsessed with great hair, this is your behind-the-scenes pass to what really goes down at one of Raleigh’s top salons.
We’re not just talking technique—we’re talking trust, honesty, and what it takes to build a reputation clients will follow you for.
