Mikey G has officially opened the doors to his new, larger salon in Boca Raton, and Straight Up. Extra Dirty. is taking you inside the next chapter.

Mikey opens up about the leap of faith it took to grow, the lessons he’s learned from years in the salon industry, and why Mikey G Hair is about much more than one name on the door. It’s a collaboration of artists built around creativity, trust, relationships, and a family-like culture.

We talk about the meaning behind the new space, the green wall symbolizing life and prosperity, the orchids gifted by friends, and the emotional side of being a hairdresser that clients rarely get to see.

It’s about taking risks, trusting your instincts, surrounding yourself with the right people, and having enough faith in what you’ve built to take the next big step.

New location. Bigger vision. One major leap of faith.

Welcome to EP 34: Mikey G’s Leap of Faith. ✂️💜

Reality TV is officially taking over Straight Up. Extra Dirty. — and this episode goes places even we weren't expecting.

L.A. and Mikey G dive headfirst into their biggest guilty pleasures, from 90 Day Fiancé and Sister Wives to Dance Moms, Special Forces and the Housewives universe. But naturally, a simple conversation about television turns into sister wives, full-frontal TV, questionable relationship arrangements, crime-show paranoia, hot flashes, parenting, mother-child bonds and one pineapple that somehow refuses to leave the conversation.

L.A. also opens up about her own reality TV experience, being painted as the villain, and why "reality" television hits a little differently when you've actually lived it.

Then the conversation turns to Teresa Giudice and Gia's experience on Special Forces—and the powerful mother-daughter dynamic that had L.A. reflecting on her own relationship with her son.

And just when Mikey G thinks he knows where the episode is going… there's a surprise waiting for him.

This is reality TV commentary the only way we know how to do it: loud, opinionated, inappropriate and completely Straight Up. Extra Dirty.

Warning: You may never look at a pineapple the same way again.
