Why Hairdressers Deserve More Respect: Karrie Fitz Speaks Out

This week on The Silly Little Girls Club, Samantha chats with Karrie Fitz, founder of Kit Studios, PR powerhouse, mentor and champion of the hairdressing industry.

Karrie started as a hairdresser in Ireland before moving to London, working at L’Oréal, and eventually launching Kit Studios — an agency that represents and elevates the top 5% of talent with a strict “no ego” policy. More than a business, Kit has become a movement to change how hairdressing is valued and represented.

In this candid conversation, Karrie shares:

- Her journey from salon floor to founder of Kit Studios

- Why hairdressers are overlooked — and how she’s changing the narrative

- The role of mentorship, honesty and tough conversations in leadership

- Balancing female founder life with motherhood

- Saying no to toxic clients and focusing on community over competition
