We love a good hairstylist podcast. They’re perfect for listening on your morning commute or feeling saner while you’re mixing five bowls of color. Plus, hairstylist podcasts are a fantastic way to learn tips and tricks to grow your small business, find new clients and expand your beauty industry knowledge. In honor of International Podcast Day, here are 10 of the best beauty podcasts aimed at hair pros focused on the resources you need (plus one just for fun!)

As a hair professional, while more visual, consuming this kind of media can be a nice break from scrolling through Instagram for ideas or watching YouTube and TikTok videos for education.
