The Blume Edit

Skye Wheatley is back on The Blume Edit with Kia Jonasson for her most honest Blume Edit conversation yet. A lot has changed since she last sat in this chair, and this time we meet a slightly different Skye.

Skye opens up about the breakup she has barely spoken about publicly, co-parenting her boys, and the strange feeling of living two separate lives. She talks about mourning a future she had planned, learning to sit with grief instead of running from it, and finally giving herself the validation she used to chase from other people.

She also speaks candidly about the night that became her turning point, the accountability she has taken, and why she now sees it as the wake-up call she needed. From the media twisting her story to working out who her real people are, from what the internet gets wrong about her character to what actually matters to her now, this is Skye stripped right back. We finish with her current beauty go-tos, a quick-fire round, and the advice she would give the version of herself who sat here six months ago.

If you have ever gone through a breakup, felt judged online, or had to rebuild yourself from the ground up, this one is for you.

Kim Haberley (Boho Blond) joins Kia Jonasson on The Blume Edit for an honest conversation about building a hair business from scratch, the years of hustle nobody talks about, and the very public decision to travel to Turkey for a facelift at 37.

Kim opens up about growing up in the country, becoming a mum at 20, starting Boho Blond in her garage, and the decade of 12 hour shifts, seven day weeks and thousands of dollars of free hair it took to build a name people trust. She talks candidly about the difference between being a great hairdresser and a great businesswoman, why resilience matters more than knowledge, and how she has built one of the strongest personal brands in Australian hair by refusing to be anything other than herself.

She also shares the moment she realised her face had changed (spoiler: it was stress, not weight), the sporadic decision that landed her in a Turkish operating theatre, the three days of regret and pain that followed, and where her head is at now with businesses launching, motherhood questions, and America on the table.

If you are in the hair industry, building a personal brand, or just curious about the honest reality behind the polished feed, this one is for you.

Hatem (@hairbyhatem) joins Kia Jonasson on The Blume Edit to talk about the huge leap from Perth to Sydney, building one of the most recognisable personal brands in the Australian hair industry, and the honest realities behind the polished feed.

Hatem opens up about the moment he decided he was "sick of it" and needed bigger, working with Baby Boo and the brands that made him feel like he had finally made it, the celebrity gig that felt like being a "slave behind the chair," and the surprise dream client who lived up to every expectation (spoiler: Bindi Irwin).

Plus: the wildest DM he has ever received, his honest take on Turkey surgery, dating icks in Sydney, the beauty trends he wants gone yesterday (zigzag curls, cut creases, overfilled lips), the one underrated treatment that changed his skin forever, and why he is now eyeing Dubai or the US as his next move.

A conversation about backing yourself before you are ready, saying yes to the uncomfortable, and running toward the thing everyone else avoids.

Key Takeaways
The scariest move is often the best one. Leaving Perth for Sydney unlocked opportunities Hatem could not have accessed staying comfortable.

You need proximity to want more. Seeing what other artists were getting in Sydney was the trigger that pushed him to make the leap.

Say no to disrespectful jobs. Even a big name celebrity gig is not worth being treated like "a slave behind the chair"; your peace is part of your rate.

The dream clients are usually the nicest ones. Bindi Irwin lived up to every expectation, on brand and off.
Less is more when it comes to beauty. Over filled lips, mega ring "ramen noodle" curls and heavy cut creases cheapen the look; softness reads as expensive.

Facial harmonisation beats mega treating one area. Small tweaks across the face for symmetry outperform overloading one feature.

Turkey is great for results, not pain management. Do your research, know what you are signing up for, and plan for the recovery, not just the surgery.

Skin lasers are the most underrated glow up. CO2, hybrid pixel peels and glass skin treatments beat almost anything else for a polished look.

Confidence is what actually makes someone attractive. On set, on camera, or on a date. The hottest face without confidence does not translate.

Watch how people behave on the first date. The person you meet on date one is them at their peak. If the bill is a red flag, believe it.

Fear of posting is the biggest thing holding creatives back. Nobody is perfect on camera, but consistency and authenticity win over polish every time.
