Meet Your Host
Chantelle Dean is the founder and host of Hair Chair Diaries, a salon-chair style podcast born from nearly three decades behind the chair.
After 28 years as a hairdresser, Chantelle knows the chair was never just about hair. It became a place where women talked openly about life, love, loss, confidence, money, divorce, motherhood, rebuilding and the moments that changed them.
Now also a mortgage and protection specialist, Chantelle brings those conversations into a new space, exploring the emotional and financial lessons women often wish they had known earlier.
Hair Chair Diaries is real talk, direct from the chair.
