So So we're cool with that and we're happy. So let's look at the other thing I want to talk about is on freeslottingucation.com now. I was away. I was on vacation last week and I in a beautiful vacation in the snow and nastiness that's been here in and PA But I added a tab to the website where you can do free job listings So if your salon is looking to hire someone I wanted to make sure that we have this big community of people that can do it for free So just another reason to go on to our website and and use it that way So you can post your job listing what you're looking for and then also a Picture of your salon on there as well. So very cool. We had a salon jump on that this week So nice anybody looking for a job in New York. Is it just gonna be salons or is it also gonna be people looking for jobs? They can put up a little thing. I think that's a good idea. That's why we have these little meetings. There you go Yeah, I think we'll add that tonight. So yeah, so here you go, and it's all Brian. Yeah, I just mean decisions being made Exactly so and you know in the next couple days, you'll be able to post if you want a job We might get more of that actually All right, well then we'll put her on there where she will have she lives in Washington crossing she was actually our model for The TZ highlight. Okay. She want to go to New York? Yeah, we have the hookup All right, cool. So and then the other thing is last but not least we did add a new scissor to our little Collection on our website.

So if you're looking for a new scissor visit our beautiful store online I added some a some Christmas stockings to the site this week as well Yeah, and and then last but not least I guess again because I just said that This is actually least is actually last. Yeah, this is actually the last thing Brian has a Bali ombre workshop coming up It's a hair painting extravaganza My dad so if you're looking for a hair painting extravaganza then check out Brian hair. I got your back Yeah, so we're actually doing that that class is gonna be at this salon here and it's hands-on it's only 10 people we're allowing into that class because we want to keep it nice and intimate and So it's worth your money. So yeah, I think it's it's gonna be fun I mean it's hands-on. That's how I learn best So I think that's one of the ways that I probably teach best is being able to stand over someone and it's too Really popular techniques that everyone wants to know a little bit more about so it'd be a lot of fun So and I think it's great because it's kind of it's not just we're not combining the two techniques It's really a class about all the techniques right and how to do them. So I think people are really gonna enjoy that All right We have questions from social media Which is always my favorite part because it's really reaching out to the people that actually pay attention and listen to the Channel and it allows us to answer their questions. So we have first two questions are all for Dreya Oh, okay, and the TZ highlight. So we have Shelly is asking She's just wondering if you could share a secret on detangling the hair I did post an answer for her on there, but let's see what you have to say. I like to use a big Detangle comb back at the shampoo bowl with when the hair still has conditioner on it and just work from the ends all the way up to the top It's a little tedious, but at the same time it is the most effective way to get out all the teasing Yeah, okay I just to throw in there's something that I never even tried but I got advice from another hairdresser Same conversation that I had earlier this week. This has not been tested. No, they do it. I haven't tested. Okay We were having the whole discussion about TZ highlights and getting out the teas and all that and she was saying what she Likes to do is before you start to rinse it while the lightener is in there start combing it out then Like she said brush out like comb out the the lightener Okay, then go ahead while it's all still dry and start detangling it and she said it comes out a little easier That's a great little fun fact. Yeah, and the other thing for me what I said was The great thing about the technique that Drea did it wasn't a lot of teasing Right so because she was feathering and painting it on with the lines in there It wasn't like she just teased it a whole bunch and then went in and just Slapped lightener on she feathered it on right so you tease a little bit and then feather it So then you're not sitting at the bowl for an hour trying to detangle the hair What I have right we all have yeah, well, I also think like with the brush teasing is a lot. It's not as tight It's not like you're going in with a fine-tooth comb and really getting in there Okay, creating a nest Michael says he's not getting the live show He's very upset. I don't know. I just saw the Facebook blast out Looks like we're live Michael. I don't know but we'll post it anyways later. So The other thing we have going on is Somebody says great video Drea What volume developer did you use and how long did you process it? I use 20 volume developer and I processed for about 25 30 minutes just keeping an eye on The how much it was lifting. Okay, that's another thing I want to start adding to the videos is the processing time Obviously you're not watching it But so that we say I know that somebody on one of your videos You said how long it took to process and people got really excited about that Because I think a lot of people leave that out of the video because you just don't think about it Well, I think because a lot of the things that we do videos on involve Lightener and not like an actual color processing time and a lot of the techniques we do Is there's not a set processing time like I just had that come up in a class this past weekend How long does this sit and really it sits until you get the look that you want, right? Yeah, I mean if you're just looking for a quick little bump in color It might only sit 5-10 minutes whereas if you're really looking for a nice contrast it might be 25 30, right? I mean we can say it but I think it's gonna depend on what's on the hair before and what story right is happening It's whatever you have to work with and then what you're looking to do, okay? so So what I want to do I want to have you guys into this question because I think what I can do is add the live feed Share it on Facebook so that might put so they can get in on it. So let's look at this all my love Ask the question. I love some of the names So I am graduating in two months from Cosmetology school. Which classes would you recommend a beginning stylist outside of for outside of school? I'm trained in Wella color line and products also Sebastian and American crew Well, so I'm guessing that's what they had at her school. Yeah um, I think Not even right out of the gates. I think always no matter where you are in your career Good fundamentals class are always It's always a good thing to get on those when you can the fundamentals of you know I don't care if it's color theory or fundamentals of cutting It's good to always be brought back to that Right out of school. I think what's good is you have the confidence to jump into maybe an advanced cutting class and That would Let you know that you're probably a little better off than you give yourself credit for Like I don't know. I feel like when I deal with When I'm dealing with people that have just graduated school, they're nervous They don't think they can do it yet And then once they realize that they can do some more of the advanced techniques They're just ready to hit the ground running right and I think my thing was I just don't Like you say you're trained in Wella and products Sebastian and American crew. They're all the same You know, it's not Don't feel like you're trained in one thing train in hairdressing Alone learn The basic the fundamental techniques of everything and then you can use any product line you want Pick the product line that obviously we've talked about supports you the best and and all that but learn hairdressing from what it is from formulation of color to Understand the color wheel to understanding what a graduation is and cutting lines and a haircut All of those things you one of those techniques you can use any any product line you want Well said that is that Okay, I put up the link for So michael can jump on there. I think uh, usually it's live on the website and I don't think it is today Oh big fail I knew I forgot something last night. Okay, so um now we have her smile 73 She says as a hairstylist and nail tech. I find your video is very helpful and meaningful My question to you and your staff is should I put my picture a picture of my face on my business card? And or posters and if yes or no, may you explain why or why not? Thanks That depends. What do you look like? Well, her name is her smile So with a name like her smile, I say put your face on there. Yeah, I'm guessing It's worth it. No, I what I want to talk about. Let's talk about business card ideas I know you have a cool one That you use that worked before I have some ideas of things that we've done. So let's talk about that Uh, my idea I liked funny cards because I wanted something that When one of my guests was at a party and someone goes Oh, you know, your hair looks good. The first thought that jumps to her mind is oh my god Thanks, let me show you got to see his business card right because then She's always going to remember to whip one out and pass it on to somebody else and that's just going to Spread the networking. It worked really well for me for a while, right? Okay, and what was that card? Oh, it was just I ordered it off of one of those Online websites. It looked like one of the hello. My name is stickers. Okay. So it was already a template Yeah, kind of okay, and I just filled in my info with it. All right. I just wanted a funny one Yeah, that's cool. I think So I've had a business card with pictures on it. Um, my boss before He we had a photo shoot and we had we held up scissors and they were glowing And uh, um, you know, there's things in your life that you just wish you could take back and at the bar On the back of my card. Nice. Were you holding up a drink? No, but it was just a fireball No, it was just it was terrifying and I was actually embarrassed for them And I was just like just like you haven't handed out any of your business cards yet. I was like, I don't want to Well, that's good. So I guess more of the story is figure out your brand. Yeah And go with it if you have a great professional looking picture then put it on you can put on there If you want to if you feel like that would help your brand and help you get noticed You know if I think if you're out at a bar and you really need them to remember what you look like the next day Then I think it's pretty good to have your face on there Just take a lesson from matt and don't do glowing scissors because you'll never get rid of that Yeah, it haunts you forever You think that you'll use up all your business cards and one is always lying around somewhere Somebody will find it. Okay. So michael taylor who is hopefully popped on here and listening now says Hey guys, I'm curious as to your backgrounds professionally And how you've come together as a group. Have you all known each other for a long time? Or was it your passion for teaching that brought you together? Cool, it's my passion for hiring cool people That's that's what it is. That's exactly what it was. It's like, uh, we lost to a flame So I guess backgrounds background check Uh More really I've done everything I get teased a lot because I've had every job on earth but I mainly waited tables for like 11 years And uh, I mean I was I was everything. I was a mover. I was I did Everything involving interaction with other people. Yeah Just sort of ended up coming at this Yeah, and I think uh, basically How how we did all get connected through Education though, it was um because of the passion for I mean me me and you met through Paul Mitchell Yeah, obviously and uh, he came to my school to teach a class to teach everyone how to do really cool Stroking techniques with the scissors and the first thing ever said to me was you can't do it Okay, thanks There's many things that brian reminds me that I've said to him over the last, you know, four or five years that I've known him and uh A lot of them were like you can't do that But he ended up working here. So I guess it worked out Oh, I guess I just decided I wanted to learn how to do them finally and re I met in Baltimore at a hair show I was working for Paul Mitchell and not and you were there I was there and thad that was there. That was backstage that year He was in school at the temple and I was supposed to be chaperoning future professionals That was funny too, man That had like a goatee down to here and shaved the lines like in his beard all the way through Yeah, and he was scrawny. It was scrawny skinny guy Who is now at the gym right now? He was at the gym, yeah So tell me um What do you think so then you ended up you moved here? Yeah, um, well that and I grew up in this area and we decided to move back and um I guess I kind of I was at a couple different salons For the last two years and then when you were hiring it was a no-brainer to Yeah, jump on board and you guys came together to the hiring event. We did we were the hiring event You were the hiring event. It was awesome I'm like, yep. All right, we'll take both of you Yeah, and then we went out to dinner and did karaoke. It was a great hiring event. Yeah, who's that time can't complain All right, cool. So yeah, so basically we all have known each other and barrett the same We barrett actually worked at the song with me before me and christina bought it So, um, you know, she was kind of like buy salon get one free kind of deal So it worked out and I actually went to beauty school together. Yeah She was the first human being I ever did a blow-dry on So I would say paul mitral brought us all together true story. Yeah, thank you paul All right, um business tips. Let's get into that segment Because I have to actually there's only one thing I really want to talk about and It came from a question. I'm not going to say her name But she's a new person to our facebook, um, but it was a private message So I don't want to say the name Because if you send us a private message, I'll make sure I don't Announce who you are because this is about commission Um, and I want to talk about that because it's it's an important thing. So I work at a salon It's paying 45 commission takes an 11 service fee off the top Of the gross is this normal? That puts me Bringing home around 40 of my work any thoughts you may have I would love to hear So a few things I want to talk about and because I know you guys work here I'm going to talk about how we do it here and um, and then I want to kind of break this down because this is a big Question for stylists. It's hard for stylists to understand it But I want to try to in my own salon owner way explain The the the service fee and all of that. So we pay a sliding commission scale Um, it's not based so much on how much you bring in but mostly on your performance growth numbers. So let's say You start out at 40 percent here And if you hit a certain average ticket certain take home per guest number or retail per guest And a certain rebooking number You move up in the scale. Um, you can automatically move up if you bring in more money But um, but that's how it works. So we work on a sliding scale. I'm going to do a video on this soon So we don't have to get too complicated. But Um, so that's how that works. Then we do a 10 off the top fee Let me explain the fee to hairdressers that are out there that are stylists that are worried about this fee Don't understand the fee first thing first Uh, 45 commission or let's talk about 50 percent 45 percent anything in there If I were to pay 50 commission, that's a 50 50 partnership But as a salon owner You It's canada calling. It's okay. Hello. We should bring him on live. Hello. Um, so Basically, so 50 it would be a 50 50 partnership, right? But you got to look at son owner has the building to pay for the the lights to pay for everything You touch in the salon Is paid for by the salon owner. So basically that 10 percent fee isn't coming from the salon owner It's taking it off of what you brought in. So let's say you bring in $4,000, right? I take 400 of the $4,000 for products be used. Then I pay you on the rest It's like if you went to a car mechanic and you get a new engine put in your car And let's say the car mechanic made commission, which doesn't happen. But um, let's just say that They're going to take the cost of the engine Away before they pay him for the for the work. You don't get paid on the cost of the engine You don't get paid on the cost of the color so $400 if you brought in $4,000 is I I promise you with the with the water and the lights and the The power and everything that you use To create that $4,000 the 400 bucks is what that 10 percent is So it's taking that off first and then we pay Does that make sense? Yes. So um, so that 10 percent is not really going to anybody except it's going to pay the bills Yeah, then what's left over get split between the salon owner and the stylist exactly Then my next thing is so let's say yes. All right So you're making 40 40 percent of what you bring in is kind of unheard of In a commission based job So you have the opportunity to bring in 40 percent of what you do And then you also get tips And what hairdressers I don't think understand is that they make a lot of money in tips But what we do is we take the tips we go buy cigarettes. We go to the bar. We go do whatever Um, so we don't look at that as income, but think about if you were a uh, like a waiter Waiters get paid two dollars an hour. They don't get paid. So basically what we are Is a really lucky server Right It's like you could wait on a bunch of tables all night long and then take home 40 percent of the checks that you rang up And get tipped on top of that. It's crazy. Right. So we're actually blessed in the fact that We get those tips and we get 40 percent of what we bring in. So I think people get too tied up in Um, and I know I did when I first started doing hair. It was like, I need to make 50 percent I need to make 60 percent It was like the only way for me to get a raise was to ask for a higher percentage and not to work harder Right, you know, and that's that's the thing about this industry that I love is that No one has ever told me how much money I can make I Work hard. Yeah, I just want to say I conducted a little experiment about three years ago If ever you feel like you're not Making x amount of money. You don't feel like you're making that much Go one month and don't spend a single penny of your tips and put them into A jar above. Yeah, I actually use an old bleach bucket for my tips And then the end of that month count it and you'll be shocked to realize how much extra salary you actually have Yeah, I think we always look at that paycheck. They're like, oh my paycheck wasn't very much But you had tips right all week So you don't make a ton of money through commission You make you make great money through commission and you get a check but Tips are part of your income. It's it's really how this business really kind of all comes True story true story Did you answer all the part were there any more parts to that question? No, I don't have anything else No, and what I wanted to see with the tip part is you're going to be getting a lot of tips right now Which are going to help you pay for Christmas gifts and all of that But be smart with it because in January and February you're not going to get those tips anymore So you need to be smart with it and remember that, you know Choose wisely. Right. Yes. Don't don't blow it all in one spot I just sounded so old Don't spend that all in one place Okay, um next thing we have Industry news I want to talk about a couple things pretty cool. So we got some uh Random things that I found on the internet Which actually I think I found them one on modern salon and the other one I saw in a magazine, but this is called the penguin clip What? Yeah, so alligator clip is out the door and penguin clip is in the house So let me tell you about the penguin clip. It's uh, it's going to be revolutionary Says the guy who created it. It looks like a torture device. I was going to say what makes it a penguin Um, it kind of looks like a penguin when it's standing there. It looks like a little penguin or one that falls over So penguin clips dual spring design allows users to uh the ease of use with features such as quick release function um It also helps maintain the integrity of the hair and prevents any damage or Creasing to the cuticle the clip can hold large or small sections of hair with even tension and consistency I gotta say i'm just excited to get it. I'm gonna call them today. Yeah, and be like, hey guys I would like to try your penguin clip because it looks pretty cool I want to try it because I don't when I see teeth on a clip. Yeah, you can go ahead and I'll hand you right back that it doesn't crease the hairline because right So i'm excited to try it and see what see what it's all about. Yeah, bring it Um other industry news I got going on not too much But I do want to get into the victoria secret fashion show as well So I don't want to spend too much time But we have next generation by hot tools now I've looked at hot tools since beauty school because I got hot tools in beauty school Like what in the world Like they're 30 tools, right? So um, I never looked at it like wow This could really be a great tool, but they've just come out with next generation and it looks like they've stepped up their game They have a whole line of products tools. Um, it says basically they have a pulse plus technology for um Heat loss begins restoring immediately the iron stays hot coconut and jojoba infused beauty Unleashed I have no idea They need better marketing Appliances are formulated with the essence of coconut and jojoba extracts Combined with titanium and nano ceramic micro shine So the tools smell good I guess I don't know make strawberry shortcake dolls and uh, it reduces moisture loss cuticle damage add strength Intensifies smoothness and shine So another thing I'm excited to get my hands on and I would like to try out the hot tools And I would like to see the price point on them. I'm not sure what that is But it's one of those things where if you can get it for a good price and it's a decent tool I mean it sounds pretty cool. So So we have to check that out. Oh, I meant to send you a picture the other day. I was in Ulta and conair now has A similar device to the mirror curl where you clamp it on circles around. Yeah, okay So did it look the same or it looked exactly the same? It was just a different color the con air has and a con air had Now it was freaked out before with uh with it being What was it? Yeah, babilis. Yeah, is it babyless or babilis? I think it's supposed to be babilis, but I let's ask that. It's kind of like hero or gyro I don't know the difference, but whatever so um But I would never put a con hair No on my hair and let it twist it around and on its own Um, I actually had in high school one of the con air rotating brush round brushes. Yeah Oh my god That was the biggest mistake of my life really it put so much static electricity in my hair and it like Stood out nice and it got tangled. It was before I became good at hair So maybe it wasn't the the irons complete fault. No, it was it was definitely we'll get you to film a review on that tonight All right, it had a button that you it rotated all the hair under and then to release the hair It was a reverse button and it unwound. Okay, but in the unwinding process It just tangled up and made a really big mess. Nice. Yeah Cool. Cool. Great now ready Trending tresses trending tresses. Let's do it. Let's do this Let's break down the victoria secret fashion show real quick because I don't have images because last night I'm texting you back and forth Get me images. Yes fail. I snapped. He sent me a picture. Yeah I don't even have that picture, but yeah, so he sends me a picture of his tv Thank you, brian for that now. Tell me what you thought Uh, I I was happy. It's you know, drae and I were talking. It's the typical victoria secret look But I feel like last year when they went for that look they went Just kind of frizzy and texturing gross And last night I felt everything was spot on. It was perfect it was pretty Yeah, the ombres were perfect ombres the balayage looked amazing All of the polish on the hair was really really really fantastic I mean it was the typical like big rolling curls kind of thing, but It just it looked really really nice really well put together So I think I didn't see it, but I did see some pictures. Um, I was putting the show together and uh But yeah, the hair looked really clean polished Typical what it normally looks like, but I mean you can't go wrong with that You put up a video of victoria secret area you get 100,000 views. So um people obviously want it and they're looking for that So, um, all right, let's get into our celebrities. Uh, the first one we got I believe is chelsea handler. Let me see Yes, chelsea handler Tell me this story. So these are all from her instagram. She uh documented her hair change She decided she was done with hair and wanted to chop it off with a hair makeover I think it looks better shorter I think with her hair being so fine that the length just kind of weighed it down And now she has more of a shape with just a little bit more style. Yeah, I think this goes with the story, um Of what every celebrity is doing right now Yeah, it's cool that she did it live Do we know the hairdresser that did that? No, she didn't even uh, didn't even acknowledge didn't even acknowledge. I know um So I was a little sad about that one. Okay, but I thought it was fun that she put up pictures of it and she didn't the only after picture was um On her show later that night. So okay. Yeah, it looks really great. I mean it looks healthy You can see the difference what it does for someone when they have really long straggly hair It's been just growing forever and they get so attached I don't want to cut it off and then they chop it off It just it makes you look taller. It makes your face shine more I mean, obviously it looks like she went out there to have an extreme Before and after. Yeah, her hair was not done. Obviously in the first picture. So um, but yeah, it looks really good Okay, next one we have Daniel Radcliffe. Let me find his picture. This is hilarious. Daniel Radcliffe Has a bob. He does He does have a bob. He uh Was on some british talk show talking about his hair extensions He's in uh the new frankenstein movie for and he plays igor Okay, but so they put um hair extensions in his hair and um He was on this talk show and when asked about them he goes Well, i'm assuming they're a dead person's hair Yeah, yeah, he's right. Yeah And yep, you got it and that's what he said looks like it I mean, I think the extensions are done. Well, I think they blend nicely. I just don't like them on him Yeah, yeah, that's a little intense. But you know what? It's a wig. So I I thought this is real hair I was like I thought harry potter just went crazy But no, this is like for something for a movie. Okay, it's explainable. All right. Well good for him Okay, he's getting paid. He is getting paid to have that on his head. All right this one julianne hoff, right? Yes. So instead of She's known for her cute little bob short hair. She has um gone against the trend and added extensions to her hair um She and her hairstylist documented the entire process Um starting out with I like the middle picture. Yeah, so she had waist long extensions Put in and then they chopped it all off for another dramatic effect and um But her uh hairdresser riana capri actually uh has already said that The long hair is just for a project and that her short hair will be back Soon that's what's cool about extensions. You got to give it to that because you take some of these hair that is that short And you put these massive that's about $2,000 worth of extensions for sure and then um That doesn't come free and then the but then they layer it and it just looks great Like that's where that's where extensions look great most of the time when you get extensions done They don't look great. I think it looked like I think it's done well in here. Yes. If you know how to do it Then it's perfect, but I just love um on the instagram on both julianne and julianne and uh riana's instagram they were just having so much fun posting pictures and Showing the love of the transformations. I know it's because they know they're gonna get shoutouts on this right that's what it is. They know we're gonna talk about them Yeah, they're gonna get a whole 500 views out of this It's gonna really make their career. Okay. Next one we got Uh demi lavato. Yes. So she has uh chopped her hair to be in shoulder length And I know brian said earlier that he didn't like it I just I haven't been a big fan of her blue hair except I love that picture on the left there I didn't know she did that She goes and cuts it off. Yeah, um, I see I like uh the blue that she has it with the shorter hair I think it's cool that it's more in those midnight blues And it's not as shocking Yeah, it still looks washed out to me. I just I'm not happy about the ends because the ends do look faded But um, I think she does it herself like she probably has blue hands if you could see what her hands look like Yeah, it looks good though, but I do like the shorter length. It looks so much healthier. You can tell that Her blue trip did take a toll on her hair. So oh, yeah, all right. Let's fly through two more. We got And after and before picture after and before which brian gets upset, but I pull these off of websites Well, I saw this and I was like, oh, she went blonde.

I heal And I can see why Yes, draya spotted her at lax. I did I did I was there. Yes I snapped the picture of myself. It was good But yeah, she um I don't know what's going on. I You know, it's it doesn't even look styled right in that picture and it looks like she's out and about Yes, she's at a black tie event. You don't wear those earrings to bed So she uh was on the ellen show and she was saying how her Hair has told a story and she just thought that she should um She just wanted to leave that behind her and change everything. Okay, and um I love the change of the short hair, but I feel like with the darker tone. It's just it doesn't have as much pizzazz. Okay Yeah, it's pam. It's pam and like blonde bombshell pam. She's my favorite. All right next one so Miley was at a music festival and um, I forget where hold on Well at first when I saw this picture I thought I thought she just parted it because I actually had this haircut I think in high school. I think my mom gave me this haircut But it was like cut underneath shaved and then Parted in the center. Oh, yeah spread down. I thought that's what it was, but then you know after some research Yeah, no, she's going back into her Hannah Montana days and playing with the wigs again. Um, But her stylist chris mcmillan has actually said that the rumors are true that she is going to be growing out her hair again Rumors the rumors. She's been serious rumors. Yeah, she's been talking about it. Oh, thank god New rumor on the streets growing her hair out. Yeah, but she's growing out the top so she can put it in a bun And do more stuff with it, but she's gonna keep the sides shaved in short. Okay All right. Good for her. Good luck. Okay.

Okay, so the um to end this day almost the last but not least To end this day, um, my parents were in town for a week And um, we had this thing a couple weeks ago where I made a little bit of a mistake And this is what I said So I just want to play that and then we can go over this for a second What in the world is she doing with herself? She's trying to be a pony and Christina loves her She's like No, she's up there, but she is so this is the one thing I said to my uh, my mom My mom is the same age as jailo. So like when my mom was like sitting Really? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, how old is jailo? Can you research that for me? She's like 40 No, she's not 40 She settled enough to be your mom. You're gonna be surprised. You're about to be surprised I got a young mom. So do I I'm pretty sure I think I think jailo is like 48 Really? Isn't she? I don't know. Well the intent of this because at first I wanted the dog on this too When she first came out, but then I realized if you paid attention Uh as she was going through when they were changing her dresses on stage They were also changing her hair on stage. Yeah, so that by the end of it. She ended up with just a ponytail So it had to like they wanted that huge ponytail for the end for all the dancing And you know, what are you gonna do with a ponytail? Can you imagine? I mean just think about hair shows that we've done the chaos Oh my god behind trying to change her outfit and throw her hair in a ponytail even a simple I don't know but anyways So basically I said that my mom was the same age as jailo if you remember And turns out she was not the same age as jailo But she's still young right and then I said that all she does all day is sits around Like 75 year old and does nothing So my mom is here. She leaves on the plane today. So I want to bring her over come over here Nice come over here. My father's here as well. So he can come over here. Come over here dad So my parents have been very supportive of uh my career and everything and my mom is obviously not 75 And um, they're from Illinois and they they were spending the week with us to see their grandson and uh, you know, so I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. I did not mean that you were 75 and you do nothing My mom's actually lost. How many how many pounds 75 pounds in the last there's the 75 75 pounds in 10 months. So obviously she's not 75 five pounds or 75 years old and sits around and does nothing but So thank you guys.

Um, and I wanted to buy black pants, right? And the lady said, well, what do you need the black pants for and I didn't mention what it was and uh, We walked out and I remember you saying to me You know, if you're going to be a hairdresser, you need to own the fact that you're hairdresser I was for some reason I was Reserved and even saying I was going to be a hairdresser because you know, I grew up in Iowa I didn't know I actually called the beauty school.
