368. Would You Spend $750 on a Haircut? ...

Adore Beauty
About this episode

This week on Uncensored, Mel puts her money where her hair is with a $750 Texture Haircut by celebrity hairstylist John Pulitano. Was it worth the hype (and the price tag)? We get the full breakdown — from the salon chair nerves, to how it looks five months later, to whether it actually lives up to the promise of being the ultimate low-maintenance cut.

Then, Mel sits down with John himself, co-owner and creative director of Headcase Hair, to talk all things texture. He shares what makes this cut different, why lifestyle matters more than inspo pics, and how the right haircut can genuinely change how you feel about yourself. Plus, John’s advice on what to think about before booking a texture cut — especially if $750 isn’t in your budget.

Plus, Mel shares her surprising new gut health obsession for PWDKWN: The Beauty Chef Perfect Poo (yes, really). Spoiler: it tastes way better than it sounds.
