I’m so thrilled to launch the newest beauty podcast – an idea I have had for a long while – which aims to create a platform that shares beauty and skin education where everyone learns. I love a founder story, but I really feel there’s a need for a beauty focused podcast where Dermatologists, Trichologists, Skin Doctors, Hormones Specialists, Health Experts and beyond can answer our real life questions and dilemmas, and teaching us all what we don’t actually know.

Introducing PARLOR: Your Honest, Beauty Best Friend Podcast
If you’ve followed me for any length of time at @byemmawillott, you’ll know I’ve never been able to do the “beauty writer/creator” thing without also talking about real life – the school run, the 4am wake-ups, horrific acne days and just need something that actually works. PARLOR is that same honesty, in podcast form.
I get to work with and meet so many brilliant experts in the beauty space, that it felt right to bring them into a platform where they can use their knowledge to really help people. Cutting through the noise out there. Because lets face it – we’re marketed to a lot, and given so many conflicting opinions across beauty influencers, brands and beyond.
Here, we learn from the professionals. Properly. And, in a friendly, chatty format.
What PARLOR actually is
Think of it as the conversation you’d have with your most honest friend – the one who works in beauty, knows the industry inside out, tries too many products and will tell you the truth.. No toxic positivity, no pretending every product is “life-changing,” no talking down to you. Just real, grounded conversations about beauty, skin, and the industry behind it, from someone who’s spent years writing about it and building relationships within it.
Each episode, I’ll be sitting down with people from across the beauty and wellness world – clinic experts, brand founders, formulators, the people actually behind the products and treatments we’re all curious about, alongside the educated dermatologists, etc. I’ll be asking the questions I think you’d want answered, not the ones that make for a nice soundbite.
Why I wanted to make this
Beauty content online can feel relentlessly aspirational and, frankly, a bit exhausting. I wanted somewhere that felt more like a chat over coffee than a pitch – somewhere you could actually trust what you’re hearing, because it’s coming from someone who has to live in this industry, not just post about it. But overall, I just want people to learn more. A lot of us don’t have access to Aesthetic Doctors, Skin Specialists and Hair Loss Experts. This way, I can bring them to you.
Where to listen
PARLOR is live now on Spotify, with more episodes on the way. Hit play on the video above to hear exactly what to expect, and follow along so you don’t miss what’s coming next.
This is just the beginning, and thank you for being here for episode one, I really appreciate any feedback, support and beyond.
