About this episode

A heartfelt conversation with Jay Snowdon about his journey from rehab to grooming and the importance of authenticity and connection.

After Hours Episode #96: In this episode of After Hours, I hang out with my “twin from another timeline” Jay Snowdon, for a funny, honest, and surprisingly heartfelt conversation. We get into Jay’s journey from rehab to grooming, building a following by being unapologetically authentic, and the kind of energy that can completely change the vibe behind the grooming table. We also talk about social media, queer identity, viral moments, favorite grooming products, and why real connection—with both dogs and people—is what matters most. And yes, there’s definitely a little Taylor Swift talk too
