Ep 14. Auntie Ruined My Hair

In season 1 episode 14 of To Catch A Beautician, titled "Auntie Ruined My Hair," host and celebrity hairstylist Tamar Braxton helps a young woman named Mia who is dealing with a hair tragedy. Mia wanted a fresh look for her birthday and asked her aunt, who claimed to be a hairstylist, to give her a quick trim. However, things didn't go as planned and Mia's hair ended up being uneven, with chunks missing.

Feeling embarrassed and frustrated, Mia turned to Tamar for help. The host brings in her trusted beautician, Johnny Wright, to help fix Mia's hair and fix the damage her aunt had caused. Johnny assesses the damage and comes up with a plan to create a new look for Mia that suits her face shape and personality.

While Johnny works his magic, Tamar uncovers the root of the problem - Mia's lack of communication with her aunt. Mia had assumed that her aunt knew what she wanted, but she never communicated her desires or showed her aunt a picture of the hairstyle she was hoping for. Tamar stresses the importance of clear communication and setting expectations with your hairstylist to ensure that you get the results you want.

As Johnny finishes up Mia's new look, Tamar brings in a surprise guest - Mia's aunt. The aunt apologizes for the damage she caused and admits that she didn't realize the significance of Mia's birthday and how important it was for her to look and feel her best. Mia accepts her apology but makes it clear that in the future, she will be more assertive in communicating her needs and expectations.

The episode ends with Mia feeling confident and happy with her new look. She thanks Tamar and Johnny for helping her catch her beautician and for giving her the confidence to speak up and advocate for herself in the future. The show provides a valuable lesson on the importance of clear communication with your hairstylist and the negative consequences that can result from assumptions and misunderstandings.
