The Starting Messy Podcast is hosted by Misty Jayne, life coach for hairstylists and salon owners, and it is the only podcast in the beauty industry that goes deeper than tips, trends, and tactics. This is where we get real... about the self-doubt that keeps you from raising your prices, the people pleasing that's running your schedule, the money mindset blocks that have nothing to do with how tal... more

Misty has a way of getting all of her guests to comfortably open up about life in ways that aren’t discussed enough. Her conversations are raw and unfiltered, and somehow they find me at just the right time in my life 💕
I truly enjoy how deep this podcast is! She goes to the root of problems and really empowers!
Misty is such a breath of fresh air & i know SO many stylists that need to hear this podcast. I’ll definitely be recommending it left & right 💕
As a mens only, part time stylist I assumed Misty’s podcast wouldn’t bring me much value. UM I WAS WRONG. This is so much more than a hairstylist podcast. The life lessons, heart to hearts, reassuring, and motivating messages are incredible. Listening to just one show lit a fire in me and motivated me to make a few changes to my business to allow me a better life/work balance. Please do yourself a favor and take the time to listen, while cooking, working out, driving (even if it’s a short drive)... more
