In this episode of Glossy*, Jaz and Hannah sit down with their first ever guest, award-winning actor Ryan O’Kane (aka Jaz's husband), for a real and unfiltered conversation around men’s style, grooming and self-image.

From questionable first date outfits to skincare routines, cosmetic procedures and hair transplants, the three unpack what’s changing for men in the beauty and grooming space, and what still feels a little taboo.

Ryan shares his own journey, including his current routine, mullet ambitions and a very questionable trip to LA in jandals. There’s also a side mission to find Jaz’s brother Aston a Nelson-based partner, because why not.
