What is the happiest place on Earth? Rukey Styles’ hair trailer.
Rukey Styles is an Emmy-nominated hair stylist based in Chicago who crafts innovative styles for TV shows like HBO’s “Southside”, Disney’s “Sneakerella” and Disney’s “Saturdays”.
Rukey runs through what life is like on set from what a day looks like to her favorite part to the most challenging part and everywhere in between. Not only do we get to hear how a department head of hair for some of TV’s best shows spends her day, we also get to talk through all things wigs and hair loss.
It is seriously such an informative and fun episode. The directions you can take your career in this business are endless and we love hearing from people like Rukey tell how they work in this industry!
Also tune in to hear all about Kelly and Jeffrey’s favorite foods, favorite products and castings for their biopic as our hosts breakdown the answers to their quick takes.

“First, before we get to the wigs, be well versed in all types of hair.”
“How do you know it’s a wig? If it’s a bad wig then you know that it’s a wig. If it’s a good wig, how do you know?”
