Why ”Messy Hair” Is the Future with Alli Webb
From building one of the most recognizable beauty brands on the planet to launching something completely new, Alli Webb’s journey is bold, vulnerable, and deeply human. Julian sits down with the entrepreneur who helped reshape modern beauty experiences to talk about what happens when success and real life collide. Alli opens up about the whirlwind years behind Drybar’s rise, the lessons she poured into her memoir The Messy Truth, and the very real personal challenges she faced while the brand was at its peak—divorce, loss, family struggles, and learning to tell the truth about what success really costs.
She also dives into launching her newest venture, Messy, and what it means to build today versus a decade ago. Alli talks candidly about how beauty retail has changed, why launching in 700 Sephora doors was both thrilling and overwhelming, and what founders need to understand about margins, influencers, timing, and differentiation in a saturated market. This episode is part raw life story, part masterclass in entrepreneurship, and part reminder that even at the top, everything can fall apart—and you can still build again.
You’ll Learn:
• Why vulnerability and honesty matter just as much as strategy in entrepreneurship
• The real differences between building a beauty brand then vs. now
• How to think about timing, retail partners, and market saturation
• What it takes to launch at massive scale—and survive it
• Why resilience, reinvention, and “messiness” may be your greatest strengths
