We're Free Salon Education, episode 96. I don't know what's happening. That music was so loud, just rattled the entire inside of my brains. Um, welcome to the Free Salon Education podcast, Splitting Hares, episode 96, finally happening. Yay. Excited to hang out with you guys in the morning. Me too. You know, just to start your day with a little... It's been a while since we've had to tell people, like... Just a minute. Yeah. Just pulled it up. I just saw the delay in it. All of that nonsense, me going deaf. You just saw it happen? Yeah. So, Thad, can you throw up the picture? Can you throw up the picture of why we were late today? While he's looking for that, can I just say, instead of Red Lobster, the ad this week is the Raphael Nadal for Tommy Hilfiger where he's stripping naked. So, totally fine pausing it this week. Way better than crab legs. All right, cool. We're good. There you go. Man legs instead of crab legs. Excited. Yup. The cherry top, as well as, uh, Steven. You got the picture up. So, Justin got pulled over this morning. Again. I was going to say, it's been seven weeks since I got stopped left. It was. No way. It's like a daily thing. You have to do that in, like, with coffee. It's been seven weeks, and I'm proud of that. Oh, God. So... It has not. You forgot about one. So, we're going. We got a little bit of time. We got things to talk about. MTV Music Awards came out. So, Dre is going to talk about that. Justin's got some pictures from you guys in social media. I'm psyched about today. I don't know why. I like starting my day with this. Aw. We should do it even if we don't film it. I know. We should just start every day. Just get together. We'll have breakfast together. Yeah. We can go to Fred's. Justin and Christina will be late. So, uh, thank you guys for tuning in. I know it was sporadic. And, hey, we're in the morning. We're in the night. We're not at all. I don't know what's happening. So, uh... Keep up with us. It's been busy. Yeah. But we figured out the issue from last week. So, that's taken care of. So, let's introduce everyone. Brian Hare. Hi. Drea Bolen. Justin Scott. Hi. Thad Bolen. Hello. Christina is on her way. And I just want to introduce Steven. That's what's in my back seat. Everybody keeps asking. It's this creature mummy thing that drives with me everywhere. It scares everyone. If you are on my Instagram or Snapchat, you see him daily. More or less on my Snapchat. He should have his own Instagram. He should. Like how people do Instagram. You really should. I'm going to do that. That's just happening later. He's just taking him to places. Steven the creature. Hey, Christina. Hi. What's up? What up, G? So, yeah, so we have all that going on. Thank you to Millennium Systems International. I can't wait. I don't know what's going on. I want to start Mevo. And I'm not sure. I got to talk to them. I haven't talked to them in like four weeks. But every single show says, I need to talk to them. I know. I have to. I will call them today. The show. Make a note. The show today will be out of the way. Watch. Here, this is why I brought this paper. Call Millennium. Don't forget that's how you hold a pen. Hey, wait, wait, wait. What does your note say? It's like a raster. My note says, Brian says your beard looks weak. Wow, that's mean, Brian. I think my beard looks ridiculously full. And I need to let. I think it's a little over the top. I know. I got it. It's another thing I have to do. Maybe you're saying that it looks like it's a weak old. Your face. Shave your face. All right. So, calling Millennium today, if you guys haven't called Millennium, call them. Call them right now. The best salon software. Demand Force. I have a meeting with them this week. I'm excited. Write that down. Google feature. Yes, meet with Demand Force. All right. And what else? MinervaBeauty.com. Thank you for these beautiful stations that we use every day that our clients are always complimenting us on. I love that I'm seeing pictures now of people that have bought Minerva Beauty furniture and they're hashtagging us in it and just saying thank you for the recommendation because it's quality furniture and they take care of you. And Mizatani scissors straight out of Mizatani. Straight out of Japan. Yeah, that's right. Check out my video, my scissor collection video on FSC tube and on freeselineeducation.com because I broke down every scissor that I have in my collection and why I like them. And it was about a 12 minute video on just scissor details. I'm surprised it only took 12 minutes. I expected that to be like an hour long. I thought you were going to say check out my video because I said so. No. I'm pretty sure your collection of Mizatani's is every single scissor that they have. Almost. I'm kidding. I want the hopper. No, there's the one pair you don't have that I wanted to try. The hopper is in the middle. What? The A1? It's an add-on. No, it's a type K? No, I thought you could have that on any of this year. I don't know. Which one did you get to? But it was like a special thing. That too is not here. Barrett? Barrett. Yeah. Speaking of Barrett's her birthday. Happy birthday, Barrett. Happy birthday, Barrett. I saw it on Facebook. I actually got an alert on my phone today which I never get those. Oh, I get it every day. You do? Yeah. Of whose birthday it is? Yeah. Well, not every day. I wish I got it. Most days it's good because it still makes me look like a good friend. I think I would get it every day if I got it today. I don't know. Maybe I just don't notice it. Yeah, because it's not like you don't get notifications on your phone. Barrett's name is like this long. Yeah. So it took up the entire front of my phone saying it was her birthday. So happy birthday, Barrett. Type K. Type K. Yeah. Which is an awesome scissor. I had it in, yes, Barrett has it. I will have that soon. It's a really cool scissor. All right. So let's get into the show. We have a half hour left. Yeah. We really don't really have any time. Run through. We got this. We're going to have to get into. So let's talk about, oh, and real quick, coming up on Friday. The other show, we recorded a show yesterday. That's awesome. It's all about business. It's a hashtag Ask Matt Beck show. So if you have questions for that, hashtag Matt Beck. And hashtag Ask Matt Beck. Yeah. hashtag Ask Matt Beck. And we'll answer your questions on the show. Ask Matt Beck. Ask Matt Beck. Yes. All right. Cool. So Justin, let's get into the news. And now, now, an air industry news from Justin Scott. Man, it's so intense. OK. You can start talking. I'm just waiting for that. It's still aggressive in my ears. You can start talking. It's Justin's first time. Yeah. I don't know what to do with my hands. Yeah. I have some photos to talk about today. We'll run through them real quick. We'll just go through. What? How about you tell me which one you want to bring up. And then I will talk about it. Because I don't know what order you have it, man. Yeah, I don't know what. If you read the names, it's easier. Because I can't fully see them. OK. So we're going to go to Bond Styles. Can you see that one? Let's go to that one first. Bond Styles. Bond Styles. She lives down near me, actually. I think she lives around Freehold area, which is close to me. OK. That's probably where you got pulled over. No, I got pulled over. I think in Jackson. The rest out of Jackson. OK. Yeah. It was. It's an RNG hair with the roots into the pretty blonde. Yes. She's going to have cataracts when we're done with this today. OK. Bond Styles. RNG roots before Fischer. In other words, get to the point. Yeah. This one. I liked it. It was really cool before and after. She worked with what they had there. OK. Yeah, I liked that one, too. It was a good transformation. Yeah. Ooh, I made it vanish. OK. There it is. Yeah, no. The cut looked nice. The product was nice. The hair was nice and shiny. He had a good feel to it when they were done. So I couldn't pass that one up. What do you guys think? Love it. Yeah. Love it. Yeah. It's a good transformation. I mean, that's tough. The next one in this higret, it's the kid back to back. That's a tough one. Yeah. This one. That's an L. That's Lindsay. Oh. Thanks. This is why I'm just going to let Brian read them all for me because I'm horrible at this. I'm not much better. I have people that hate their names after I say it. At least you know letters. This is really cool. I have that. I have that. You know the alphabet. This is nice because a really cool styled cut on a kid. It looks like he sat well for it. Oh, man. But I know. Really clean. I just hate those back to back photos, but I couldn't pass it up. I know. I wish people stopped doing that. I still don't understand. I mean, it does look cool when you do them together. I think the reason for it is because, because I was, I was thinking about it with somebody who posted a picture of just like some nice mermaid style hair. And I think the reason that it works well for a lot of pictures is because it completely fills the screen. Yeah. Like if you sit there and cover half of it up, it's like, all right, like that's not bad. But to sit there and just be completely overcome with all this crazy color. It's so much more eye catching. I feel like it distracts from the actual workmanship and creates more of just like a really big pretty, that's nice. I feel like to appreciate that cut in style. Like if you cover one of them up and just look at one, it's like, oh, that's nice. Yeah. Instead of looking at like butterfly wings of it. Right. Just throw that out there. It's not bad. That's a good point. Yeah. I appreciate that. Because I always wonder, I'm like, it's the same side of you at the end. Yeah. I understand if it was like a separate image, that'd be all right. Yeah. That's just me. But yeah. Separate image is totally going to look like those old school like school pictures where it's like the straight on and then just that weird like ghost profile in the side of the picture. I thought it was funny. I want to see those from that one, guys. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Cool. Kids Cut. We got Eric, Treyhom, Redhead. He got it. Thumbs up. This kid's always putting up work. Hashtag to us. I see a ton of his images every time. And I just thought this was really nice. A good finished product. Nice color. I love the vibrancy. Exactly. Yeah. I love that picture. I just really wish that that wall was not that background so that the hair would pop even more. Yeah. Yeah. That's the one thing I would say to him is just find one designated nice air to take photos because he's all over the place. You see a broom in the background, some stuff like that. Oh, I see. I'm not any better. It's just the red wall with the red hair. Even the blur. I think it just distracts. Even if he blurred that out, it would still be a little bit of a difference. I just like it because she's smiling so much, too. She loves her hair as much as he loves his photo. Yeah. Yeah. It's really good hair. This kid does really good work. I enjoy his work. What else do we have here? Hello, Cindy. Nice. This was a really cool transformation going from super, super dark to a really nice red. And they kept the red very clean after the root touch-up, which usually you don't see that. You see the before and the after, and then that's it. And then you don't ever see them again. Right. I like when they keep up with their guests and they show a really clean root touch-up. And also I brought this one up because we were talking about this a few weeks ago. The little logo. She has her really clean right on the shirt there. I don't even know what it is. It catches you, but it's not. Yeah. The next one, Sarah. Sarah, surface hair? I just thought this was freaking awesome. I think I worked with her. And for a bit, I was checking out surface hair care. And in New Jersey, I worked with her, I think. She always was doing these crazy styles. Yeah, I love her page. I hate doing formal hair, but looking at her work makes me want to try different grades. Yeah. That says something. I love those coppery reds with pinks. I think it's one of my favorite combinations. The pink is so subtle, too. It's not like overbearing where it takes away from everything. Everything just messes really clean on here. Yeah. If somebody can inspire me to want to do a braid, that says a lot. It's true. And... Soup's cool. The last one is going to be Rina. Rihanna. Rihanna? I was going to go with that one, whatever. And yeah, that was just, again, a clean before and after. Very good work. Colors look very happy. Hair looks in good condition still. Good root coverage. I like it. Great blonde. Good job. Yeah. And yeah. Cool. Those are the news.
