51. Rebelling Against the Beauty Status Quo with Stephanie Mero
Description
Stephanie Mero is a consumer advocate, certified wellness coach, cosmetologist and curly hair specialist,author, a new mom and she’s featured in Episode 4 of the new series on HBO Max, Not So Pretty, which is all about the hidden hazards in cosmetics.
Stephanie used hair products herself and on her clients which initially were wonderful and then later caused her hair to fall out, causing hair loss and bald spots in both her and her clients. It’s how her advocacy was born and she challenges brands to do better and calls for more transparency. We talked about her experiences with all of that as well as challenges that come with growing up with curly hair.
Number 5 in our top seller list discussion with Josey is our Fruit Smoothie Lip Gloss which makes me so happy because when we launched her last spring I had no idea if anyone would even wear lip gloss with all of the masks!
