From Halifax, Nova Scotia, to styling hair for Paris Fashion Week, celebrity hairstylist Deena Alawaid joins Madi and Katie to share how she turned a small-town beginning into a global career and why she ultimately chose to move back home. She opens up about going from hating styling to working with icons like Bella Hadid and Adriana Lima, and how leaning into social media led to a six-year ambassadorship with Dyson.
The episode also dives into relationships, support systems and boundaries. Deena shares how she and her husband balance her demanding career with marriage and kids, why having a strong village matters, and what real support from a partner actually looks like.
If you’ve ever felt “too small-town” for your big dreams, this conversation will make you want to send that DM, pitch that idea, and finally shoot your shot!

What is Ring on It??
Hosted by best friends Madi and Katie, each episode dives into the conversations everyone has in the group chat but rarely shares out loud. From dating disasters and engagement stories to money, friendships, breakups, internet trends, and figuring out adulthood, no topic is off limits.
Through candid conversations with creators, experts, and couples, Ring On It? explores what "having it all together" really looks like for Gen Z. Expect plenty of laughs, honest opinions, hot takes, and the occasional dose of delusion.
Whether you're single, dating, engaged, married, or trying to figure out your next chapter, Ring On It? reminds you there's no one right way to build a life (or a love story) you actually want.
