Ep 243: From getting sober to styling shags - Interview with Jayne Matthews

This week, I had the incredible opportunity to chat with Jayne Matthews—hairstylist, educator, and co-owner of Edo Salon and Gallery. In this compelling episode, Jayne opens up about her 20-year sobriety journey and how growing up poor fueled her relentless work ethic. She shares the behind-the-scenes hustle of growing her business, her continuous quest for dopamine, and the broader challenges she faces today.

As we explore these topics, Jayne holds nothing back and that's precisely why I love this conversation so much.

Enjoy !

About Jayne:

"I didn’t choose hair cutting, it chose me. I was raised by a woodworker and a musician, so I was a poor kid trying to make a fashion statement. I started by cutting my own hair to do just that and happened to be very good at it. I was a hairstylist for 5 years before co-opening Edo Salon and Gallery in 1998.

I draw heavily from the styles of 60’s Paris & 70’s Rock and Roll and specialize in framing faces while embracing natural texture with nothing more than my straight razor. I am currently an international educator teaching advanced cutting techniques to hairstylists and I have been featured in the New York Times, Forbes, and CNN. What originally started as a passion for education has now evolved into new territory."
