This episode didn’t start with Sophie in the guest chair… but when she walked past the Studio M podcast room, we had to pull her in!

Sophie Rickle, one of our newer stylists (and Megan’s daughter), shares what it’s really like working at her mom’s salon — the good, the awkward, and the lessons she’s learned in her first year behind the chair. From building confidence to mentoring other young stylists, Sophie gets real about her unique position on the team.

💬 In this episode:

• The perks & challenges of being “the boss’s daughter”
• How Sophie transitioned from assistant to stylist
• Why “the suite life” isn’t ideal for stylists without a client base
• Business readiness & role playing in beauty school
• Mentoring the next generation of stylists
• Tangents about engagement ring upgrades, our new Studio M merch shop, surprise guests, and even TikTok fame

Whether you’re a stylist, a salon owner, or just love unfiltered conversations from behind the chair, you’ll love this mix of heart, humor, and industry insight.
