I've been talking about it for the last couple weeks. Uh, we have featured artists now on there. Uh, I just sent out an email about that today. I posted it on Instagram. But there's a, uh, guy-tang page as of yesterday. A Phil Does Hair page and a Confessions of a Hair Stylist page, uh, as well. Just, uh, just to feature, uh, YouTubers. Hey, man, I have a confession to make. Other YouTubers. Yes. I'm a hairstylist. You have a confession. Oh, it starts already. Uh, so you can check those out, uh, featured videos. Um, it's cool because they do other things as well. Um, and just bring on different, uh, points of view on the hair industry and everything. So, uh, you can check that out on FreeSalonEducation.com. We have a lot of cool stuff to talk about. We got Justin Scott with the news. Damn right we did. But Brian Hare with social. Drea Bollin with Tresses. I thought you forgot her name. And, uh... What is that Bollin's name? Damn it. And we did do, uh, an exciting thing over the weekend. We did a mud run. Yes. So if you guys were on our Instagram, you saw pictures of that. Brian and I did a grass walk. Brian and Thad were right along, uh, side of the race. So, cheering. Laughing at us. Laughing and cheering. No, I have to say, they gave me lots of motivation while. You can do it. Yeah. They gave Justin lots of motivation, too. My motivation is just not die and leave my leg there. I wanted to leave with all my limbs. I mean, I knew that if I fell and died, that they'd be there to save me. At least there's a lot of holes. Hey guys, if any of you guys, like, died on the course, there's at least a lot of holes already. Like, at least the graves were already pre-built. That's true. Yeah, they were thinking ahead. So, at least, uh, so... What I've decided is we got into running these things. This is fun. Did you? Drea's... Well, no, no. Half of us did. Half of us don't. So, but it was really fun. And I think when you start off a race, from my experience of the very first one ever that I've done, from my experience, is you start off the first mile is, like, awful. Yes. And... Maybe they'll get better. And then the first time we jumped in the mud, I was like, oh, right. This is nice. And I remember Christina saying, oh, this is why elephants do this. Because it was so hot out. And then as soon as you jumped in the mud, it was like, oh, okay. And then... The mud did have a nice cooling effect. I had my shirt on for about... I did start with a shirt. And I had it on for about maybe 500 feet. And then I got to the mud. And I was like, no. I love that you say you started out with a shirt. You took your shirt off before the race started. And then you put it back on. Yeah, but I started the race with a shirt on. That's true. No, the mud was great. Yeah, the mud was awesome. Died right in. I like how you guys are all hyped about, like, the mud runs and stuff. But I sent a link about a high ropes course and nobody responds to it. I'm scared of heights. I told that. That's what I said. It'll be me and you. It'll be my little beard brothers, you know. I'll hold my breath growing real quick. See, that's just swinging through the trees. I was like, can we not do something that's going to give me anxiety? Yeah, that's true. Yeah. So, so fun. And I definitely can't wait to do another one. Me neither. What else? Anything else going on? We got some pretty epic things coming up. He's like, yeah, we just survived the three and a half mile run through mud, you know, ice water, obstacles, climb this, that. Oh, ice water. It was chilly. So you guys got to cool down in the ice water, but like Brian and I were still like, baking in the heat from walking through the grass. Yeah. Trying to keep up with you guys. And then as we were trying to walk and still keep up with you guys running, we come across this pavilion that was nicely shaded and had a lot of open benches in there. So we decided to take a nice sit while you guys ran around that lake. I found a bench. We deserved it. I wanted to sit on it and I was told no. I told her, I was like, Drea, there's caution tape for a reason on that bench. You cannot sit down. It was inviting. Let's go. Yeah. When they finished, we walked up to Drea and we were like, oh my God, you have no idea what that was like for us to get through that. Like, we just worked so hard. The last obstacle. The look on her face that she made and said that. The last obstacle literally dragged Drea over. Yeah. I, okay, Drea, come on. I'll do this. I didn't want to do that one. But we did it. Yeah, we did it. And it was really cool. It wasn't a tough mudder. We're acting like it was. It was still tough and in mud. It was tough from the standpoint that I feel like, I mean, I know I didn't train at all before doing this. I haven't run it. It was tough for you guys and it was muddy. As in I went running like the Wednesday before and I was like, well, this feels terrible at me. Am I going to do that again until the day of? Yup. That was my logic. That's why I didn't run before the race. I knew my knee would be out for a couple weeks. It would remind you why you don't run? No, no. So I knew if I waited until the day of, I'd have a couple weeks after that to not be able to walk. Right. So for the show we have at Phil does hair from Instagram who's going to be on live via the internet with us. So that's going to be fun to chat with him. I'm excited. He's amazing work and he started a YouTube channel. He's got two videos up. So I'm excited because I watched a couple of his videos and they already, it's funny because now people put out videos and they're good, you know, like from the get go. They don't have like the cameras are so much better. It's so much easier to get a cheap camera. It's really good. So just watching his videos like, Oh, that's really good quality. You guys, when we started, you guys were the monkeys that shot in space now and your arms are on the moon. You guys are like, you're done for. You were those first videos. Well, so I mean, think about the 92 episodes ago with the webcams and all that. And now you have Periscope, which is better quality than our webcams were back then. And you can do it right from your phone. So man, when we shot videos for the first time, I peeled both ways to the video shoot in the snow. So, so at Phil does hairs coming on. I think he's on his way home to get better Wi-Fi and then we're going to bring him on. We have a new player on the wheel tonight. Justin did redraw the wheel and that's probably in our news, right? So don't take that. Stay tuned. That is coming up. So that's pretty much it. So let's get into the news with Justin and then we'll move on. And now for industry news from Justin Scott. This week was tough. This week was really hard to pick just a few people to talk about their stuff. Oh, OK. It's funny too. Before I even knew that he was coming on the air, I saw as far as like he tags us. Yes. That's really cool. So, so I got five, five really cool pieces I want to talk about this week. What's some, some work? First one. How did they get up on this? They used our hashtag. Most of these are hashtag, but it's really tough because I want to try to keep it broken up between some really cool short hair and some long hair, some fun colors. So I don't want to all be just ombris, you know, because Bolly-oshes. So the best way to get your picture up here is to hashtag Free Slime Education. Right. And also, you lovely viewers, keep the photos clean and simple. I want to pick these pieces, because I have like five photos shoved into one little Instagram box and it doesn't show how good the work is. Yeah. Anybody's photos. I think before and afters, unless it's a huge change, it's a tough thing nowadays. And any Instagram type class or something that you're going to take, people that are successful on Instagram, they're putting up clean images. So find like a really cool backdrop. It doesn't have to be a white wall, but find like, you know, a brick wall. Well, what I found was really cool too is, a nice piece of your salon in the background. Right. So sometimes I've been in this position where I wanted to take a quick photo, because I had somebody wait and I take a good one. There's like photo editor apps where you just take the blur thing and you blur out the background, where it just, you focus on the hair, which is the first photo I'm going to show you, is the entire background of it's blurred out. Okay. So it's a really cool effect. So the first one's going to be Jake Lawton. This is beautiful work. I'm just looking for some really cool hair and I just super impressed by this. This is a super clean DA. This is a classic men's cut. Nothing but just spent so much time on this. This isn't a quick haircut you do in 10 minutes in style real quick. Like he put probably more time styling this than a lot of people do under their haircuts. Yeah, I like that. So I just had to show the world this, because again, when was the last time you saw a clean DA cut? It's true. No, I haven't seen a duck's ass in a while. Right. Good job, Jake. Next one we're going to go to is Kellyanne Mason. Love this one. It's beautiful. I saw this on three separate accounts also. She tagged us. I think somebody else who re-grammed her tagged us and this was just done so well. Yeah, you should definitely follow her if you don't follow. She puts up some really cool stuff. Right? I love that it's styled into a braid afterwards. Yeah. A lot of people are doing this multi-color and then braiding it. It looks really neat. Very mermaid. Yeah. And it's soft too. You usually see people trying to do this and it's very hard. There's nothing hard about this. Everything's very subtle. Yeah. So awesome. Cool. Next one I believe is going to be Allison. I love that. I know you do. Of course I do. This silver is beautiful. The work on this is just, again, it's very seamless. I don't know what there was before there because I didn't really catch a before photo. It could have been virgin hair. I highly doubt it. But it could have been ombre. Who knows? But everything's just seamless. The color is very clean the whole way out. I like that it's a blue gray. I think what I'm seeing a lot of now too is they're doing that blue-gene type gray. That steel color is coming out. I like this. Sweet barn in the background. Yeah. Again, she could have blurred that. I like it. You're Midwest is showing. I know. It's like, wow, sweet barn. I like that barn. I like it a lot. Next we're going to go to Megan Lacey does hair. Oh my god, I love this one. This one was just awesome. A few of the photos I was like, oh, they're all fun colors. I got to break them up. But this before photo was just somebody is a good painter and wanted to go out with some bleach that looks like. Yeah, that's harsh. That's a nice home gray right there. I like it. Yeah. The end result was very nice. Again, very seamless. It looks really good. And the hair looks good too. The ends look a little chemically texturized but with good reasoning. But as a whole, the hair looks pretty healthy. Yeah. I mean, look at them before. Yeah. Nice. I like the little flecks of orange. I'm liking when you're seeing people that have, this is a pretty pink overall color scheme but just throwing that little bit of orange in there to break it up, I think, is good choice. Right? Smart. And the last one is DVM Barbers. He liked a lot of my photos. And it's just this kid, I actually knew him like two years ago, young kid, one of the hungriest kids I've ever seen in my life. You don't know him anymore? No, I haven't. I was going to say the same thing. I don't know him. He fell off the world. But his work is just so clean. Yeah. I see a lot of these done but not just, again, not just so flawless like this. Yeah. I love nowadays when people are creating that solid line and then fading out of it. I was just going to say that little loan out line. Yeah. This kid's going to go far. He's young, too. I think he's still in high school and he's got like the work ethic of any one of us here. So he's going to do big things. Always dunkling work, too. So those are my looks for today. Right on. So follow those people. Good job, guys. If you were picked, make sure you hashtag it, take the photo, put it up for yourself. Use it. You know, share the love. Megan is watching and one of these is hers. Oh, congratulations, Megan. The one we were just talking about. Megan Lansing. Right on. Yay. I also have other news. Ooh. All right. Other news. Other news. In other news, we're going to talk about wall tonight. You want to bring up a picture? I got one. I saw this. This looks freaking awesome. I'm on my cordless kick still. Yeah. Justin's losing his mind over this. Yeah. I just blew my mind when I read this article. I saw this. It was all over the floor everywhere. They came out with this at the Cosmo Proof North America in July. In Vegas. I always say proof. Yeah, you're right. It's proof. I'm sorry. They have a. They're not important. Just a major. One of the biggest companies in the entire show, whatever. This is a five and one adjustable cordless clipper. So instead of having the little arm on the side, I'm assuming it has like a little crank on the top where you can change it from a five zero to a zero, which is awesome. And it apparently runs for like 90 minutes continuously. Oh, nice. Without turning it off. Like I know the other ones I have that I got back in New York, like I'll leave those unplugged for like a week. Yeah. You can hear there and they're still solid cut. So I'm excited to try this. But what blew me maybe more was the edge. And I know you like this edge or two because you had one. Yeah. It's cordless. The detailer, but it fits like an extra wide t-liner. And it's also apparently flexible and adjustable. I was going to say, is that a little arm? Yeah. I've never seen that. And I want to, that's going to be perfect for skin face. I'm so excited. But yeah. So go pick these up. Try them out. I'm going to. I want to see the battery life on them. I want to see how clean they cut. I want to see. Because I know I love that edger that you have. Yeah. I used it like a few times before this one shop. And then I used it here, fell in love with it. And I feel this one is just going to be even more rad. Because you can adjust it. I've never seen that on an edger before. So when are they arriving at the salon? Soon. Don't worry about it. So wait. So we, yeah, we just have to, we'll talk to, hopefully talk to Wall. Yeah. I want to do a review on that at least. Yeah. Yeah. Now I'm excited for that. Real quick, before we get too much further. Alison, the one with the blue, Jean, gray hair that you liked is also watching. And she said she was excited. And that her neighbor's shed looks like a barn. The shed is actually a lot closer. It's like they knew. Right? The shed's actually a lot closer than you thought it was. I think this is the most people I ever picked. This is awesome. Makes me happy. It's great. Okay. One of my last little beats of news is this is important for salon owners. There should be one more picture. We've all gotten these. I don't know if anybody watching has. In the past year, they've had to send out new credit or debit cards and some credit cards with this little chip on them. They've been doing the chip all around the world. America just hasn't picked up on it yet. And what this does is it is one less way for people to kind of steal credit card information or fraudulently charge cards. But there's a big rule in effect that it has. Everybody has to have their card by October 1st. October 1st is when this whole new rule starts that if you don't have a new way to accept that, like if you go to Wawa or any of the, any place that I'm going to get to like a chain place because I haven't seen those in salon yet. They were saying the new square thing has it. Well, the new square thing has it. But this is like squares coming out of it. Like Cisco has had this in effect for years because Cisco is around the world. So Cisco has had the card readers in effect, like I said, for years now. But if you don't have this card reader and there's a fraudulent charge on it or like your software is hacked for some reason. And if you have the old reader, not a new one, you're liable for it as a business owner, not as the card processing center. So it's another way for them to screw business owners, but they haven't told anybody. Like in a poll taken, half the people don't even take credit cards. And out of the other half that do, 26% of them didn't even know about this new rule. Yeah, I know going into salons, there's so many salons I've been in that they don't even take credit cards at all. But now moving forward, you have to get this card reader. If you use square, we use square. There's a pre-order. I already pre-ordered it. I got an email from them saying, would you like to pre-order this? And I just pre-ordered it. They're giving out 250,000 of the new readers away for free. But I didn't know that you ordered it, so I tried to contact them ahead of time to see what they were doing for us. And it's a pain in the ass to talk to them. Oh yeah, square is the worst. You have to have like a customer ID number. You have to email them five times to get it. So I just stopped, but PayPal is bringing over their readers from Europe. They're little card readers like Square has. So that way you can still swipe it on your phone with a PayPal one. And you don't have to have a huge reader sitting like if you're a mobile dog room or something and you just swipe it on your phone. So that way you don't have to have a huge thing if we have. So PayPal seems like you're a little more customer friendly than the Square people are. Actually Square is great because of the fact that if you're a Square customer you have your own personal, like you have a rep for you. And he contacts you once a quarter to make sure everything's cool. So I get a phone call from them and they were pre-warning us of the thing. If you don't have a Square account it's hard to get a hold of somebody. But if you have one you should have a rep that will take care of you. I had a Square account for seven hours after I got my little cube thing or ordering my cube thing and then they banned me from ever using it again. Why? Fun story. Apparently your band is still in effect. They won't even answer my phone calls. No wonder they had your number blocked. I won $1,200 in gift cards from a tattoo convention. But I wanted the cash. I didn't want the card. So I was like I'll get a Square account and I'll swipe them all and I'll transfer to a bank account. They did not like that. They were like we're going to give you your money but you could never use this again. Yeah, that's not... Wow. Alright. Yeah. So don't... Well they get a percentage but it's not the right way to be using it because it's supposed to be used by a business and not from just a person trying to convert debit cards to cash. Laundering money with himself. Yeah, I was just going to say I'm laundering my own money. I have my own money. They probably thought you were just not legit. Yeah, no. I wasn't. They were like don't get used to this. You didn't have stolen cards. No, they were mine. They were your cards. So I mean... But my last bit of news which I'm super excited about Olaplex. We love Olaplex here. We love Olaplex a lot. The delivery of the news tonight is fantastic. Right? It's just... I don't think I've ever heard your voice get so high-pitched. Well, I'm very excited. You know why I'm excited? Because Olaplex... Okay. And now we're whispering. What's going on with Olaplex? Olaplex is now part of the freaking freewheel. Yeah. So everybody can have a chance to win an Olaplex kit. Yes. They were really cool about this. They were super excited to do this. On our 100th episode, they want to have... They want to kind of up their ante a little bit of their surprises. We're going to tell that on the 100th episode. You're not going to know until then. But now, when you spin the wheel, you have a opportunity to win the Traveler Stylist Kit with three number threes attached to it. So thank you Olaplex for supporting this. They were super excited about it. Love it. Yeah. To work with this. Spread the love. Yeah, that's it, too. I mean, it's just one of those things. Like, if you win that, like, double spin, you can get a Bollybox, Olaplex, and just make magic. Yeah. Because that says right there, I didn't even realize, good for up to 15 applications or a minimum of 15. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. It's a money maker right there. So good luck to the future spinners of the wheel with your Olaplex winnings. Okay. And yeah. Sweet jam. That's my news. We do... So we need to get into social. You have an Olaplex thing? Yeah. I was going to say, actually... Let's do that, whatever that Olaplex thing is, and then let's go to Phil and then we'll finish social after, because I told him eight o'clock. So... Okay. Well, really, the two... There were two big Olaplex things that I thought were huge this week. Okay. Never mind. All right. Yeah. Okay, whatever. No, the first one, I know I'm sure all of you saw at some point or another on social media, the huge Kim Kardashian thing. Dre and I actually both were studying this, were watching it and talking about it. She was... I don't know what she was doing. You know what she was doing. She was... Her makeup artist does master classes, and so she sometimes steps in and models for his master classes. Gotcha. And it kind of became questions and answers for Kim. Right. They were, like, chatting with her about stuff and talking about what hair comes up. So, of course, I don't know how Olaplex is really... She sleeps in it and that's what makes her hair feel amazing, which I think is hilarious because that's totally something a hairdresser would do. Yeah. What? I was just going to say, it was just so funny how casual she's like, well, there's this product called Olaplex. Yeah, she's like, I'm sure you've never heard of it. And it's amazing. Okay. And then the other one that I thought was huge, one of the biggest hair inspirations of our entire life has always been Jennifer Aniston. And for years and years and years, it's been now her color. Right. And Olaplex just posted, her hairdresser, Anderson JJ, I believe, on Instagram, has given her formula and the steps that it goes through using Olaplex, when he puts it in, what he puts it in. And even just reading through it, I got inspiration from that on stuff that I want to try, like, sort of tweaking the formula a little bit, but techniques, because it was... It's very concise, but it's worded very well. So, go check out Olaplex's Instagram, because he's got the full... There's a picture of Jennifer Aniston, a cute picture of her hair, and it's got the full step-by-step on what he does. Okay. The amount of detail that goes into that. Yeah, I mean, I'm perfectly picturing exactly. It's like, you put the balayage on with 40 volume for five minutes, and then you wash it, and then you put a temporary gloss this level, this color on the root, so it has lived in look. And then for the rest of the minute, you put this. It's good. That's cool. I wish they would do that more, because it's like, you get to see the process because everybody's like, well, how do these celebrities get this look? You know? And that's why I was glad that of everyone's, it was hers, because I think she's definitely been one of the... Certainly in my career, one of the most common pictures that I see when people are asking for, oh, what this color? Don't we all? Right. And now we can give it. Well, sweet. All right, cool. So, Thad, do you want to pull up Bill, fill up ring? I just want to say, this is the shirt I made for the mud run and had on for five minutes. They're making fun of my nipslips. Well, so... All I have to say is thank God you washed it. Yeah, that's what I thought you weren't going to wash it. That would have been bad. It was far too... Disgusting, man. Thad threw it away. That's true. It's a great shirt, though. Yeah. Is this what you guys can do if you get one? Yeah. No, not again. We're calling Phil does hair now, so let's see if we can get him up here. Where does he live? California? He lives in Arizona. Of course he does live on this. Hey, Phil. Good. How are you? Thad, can you just turn it up? I can't hear him yet. Is there like a mic that can hear him? Okay. He can hear us through the computer. And Thad, can you hit full screen? Okay. I think it's coming through the speakers. Thad's just moving the stuff here. There we go. And then, Thad, can you mess with the cord in the headphone jack real quick because we're not hearing it. All right, Phil. Can you talk real quick? Yeah, I can talk real quick. There we go. There he is. All right. So, welcome to Splitting Hares. Hi. Hi. Hello. Very cool to have you here. Well, not technically here, but so you're in Arizona, right? Pretty here. Okay. I just got to make sure the sound is good. All right. We broke it, sorry. Just hold it, Thad, the whole time. Yeah. Okay. So, let's talk about how long have you been a hairdresser because I've seen your work recently, but how long have you been doing hair? I've been doing hair since the beginning of 2010. Okay. I was going to say the beginning of time. I know. I was like, wow. You look great. And you, so 2010, so you've accomplished a lot in the last, you know, what year are we in right now? Five years. Yeah. In the last five years. So you, and are you affiliated with any companies? No. No. I started, no, I'm not affiliated with you. In 2006, I started working in a salon as a front desk person and Aveda asked me to be like a product knowledge rep. Okay. I did that for about a year and then that was about it. Okay. And so now you've, you've taken on, when I first saw you, you started with the pixel, the pixelated hair and that's when it started really, is that when things kind of started expanding for you and the exposure started happening or was it growing before? It was growing before. I, I owned my own salon a year and a half after beautiful because I don't know. Hang on. One second. Do you want to just put a microphone up to the speaker? Pull it out and put it back in. That always works. Blow on it like a Nintendo game. That better? That's better, yeah. Don't move that. Sorry Phil, there's always something. So, all right. So, Don't even look at the cord. Yeah, don't. All right. Where were we? So a year and a half after beauty school you opened a salon? Yeah, I opened a salon and I tried to get a float and then I decided to, I was really inspired by the people at Sassoon that I saw on stage and I said, I'm going to go to that because they were so young. I didn't, I realized that it wasn't something that took forever to become that talented. Right. And so I think when I went to Sassoon I, I think a lot of people that I really look up to in the industry really saw that as like the moment where things started to change from. Okay. And a lot of people even said that it would be life changing and because of that I started learning how to work with color differently and we're cutting different pictures so my pictures started to get better. Okay. I was going to color before Sassoon but then when I started cutting my pictures were better so I went on a lot of people were reposting for. Okay. And so, and you, speaking of Sassoon I see you, you're constantly there. You, you're kind of, and how far is that from you? What is that? About four and a half hour drive. That's what I thought. Yeah. Because you're in Arizona. Yeah. Yeah. No problem. So you, but you are, you were just there when I was in Arizona. I know because I saw you posting because now I follow your life through Periscope which is a big thing and we're going to talk about that in a second but you, so you go to Sassoon quite often. How often do you go there? Last year, I went there for two months and then this year, five weeks. Okay. Wow. Wow. That's awesome. And so what, what would you say to a stylist that's maybe starting out that would want to do that but would be scared to? I would just, I think the hardest part about going to Sassoon is, is the fear of not knowing what's going on, what it looks like once you get there. And so I would tell people, you know, so much of the education that I've seen and done, when I didn't have money for education, I had to take free classes. I was always under-impressed with the type of education that I was getting. And so then I decided to save my money for it. And when you go there, they, they take you step-by-step through everything. Starting from the foundation and they take you as far as you're able to go without pressuring the stylist, great way to start your education. You know, by now, like, and I think as hairdressers, like, we're constantly giving to people where we're booking their very rare to go up place where everything becomes about you. Like, four and a half hours of time. Right. About doing it to the best they can. Yeah. Well, that's awesome. Yeah, I think that, that, I don't think it's the, I don't think it's that. I think it's just the connection. So I think we're okay, and you, when you talk about, so now, you've landed on Periscope. You started that. When did you start your Periscope? Live, because I was searching for ways to, I was looking for different social media at different countries that I could kind of tell people about the pixelated area. Okay. And I didn't really use Periscope at all until a few weeks later, my client was sitting in my chair and introduced me like actually put five on a video. Okay. Surprise. That's how it works. Yeah. And so, and now you are live constantly. I think the first time I watched you live, you were sitting at a bar just talking to everyone. That was, you were just hanging out and I was like, oh wow, check it out. And then I don't remember how we ended up on it, but it's such a cool platform because you can really share everything. You're sharing stuff that, for a moment, you were traveling quite a bit and you were on there all the time. So what do you think is the biggest benefit as a hairdresser with Periscope for you? Well, I think that visual social media applications are perfect for hairdressers. Instagram is way more popular with hairdressers than Twitter is because Instagram is so visual. But now we're introducing video into it. And it's like the perfect platform for us to leave and be able to take our lives from 15-second videos that nobody ever really watches. On Instagram to actually seeing things live and I've connected with so many talented hairdressers. I've learned so many techniques, but when I started Periscoping, it was just me and a few other hairdressers that were sharing techniques. And as other people joined, I think they kind of took that, took the lead from us and said, okay, well, this is all about education and so all of a sudden everybody's educating each other. Yeah, it's platform for education at this point. And it's going to be cool because as it evolves, I think the quality is going to get so much better. You look at FaceTiming now before you couldn't even do it off of Wi-Fi. Now you can do it wherever you want. The quality is great. Periscope will be the same thing and it's cool. And you won't have weird sound issues and spend lots of money on equipment to have that happen. So now and then Instagram, you have a big following on Instagram and do you find that a lot of stylists are, they want to pitch Instagram like it's going to help grow their book. Do you think that that's true or do you like it for other reasons? Instagram for me is just a portfolio and I don't, I do, you know, I have clients that are potential clients that people will, like current clients will share my Instagram information and on all of my business cards all it has is my Instagram information. Okay. And I really do benefit from it because if I move salons or if I am somewhere and somebody has my social media card my number is going to be always correct on my Instagram is always correct and so that's all that's on there. Okay. All right. Cool. It does build my business because it allows the quality of work and Awesome. Smart. I like it. So the thing that I want to announce and why I wanted to have you on here is we built a page for you on freesaloneducation.com so I'm very excited for your content that you're putting on YouTube now. Yeah. Which you, you came out with videos and I was saying at the beginning you came out with videos and they're already good quality so it's pretty awesome that you have those videos out. What's your plans with that in the future and where are you trying to go on YouTube now? Well, you know, I, I love Periscope and I think I've been on Periscope long enough that I'm finding that the thing that I wish is that I could share things with people for longer periods of time than the 24 hours. Right. And because it's so much more work to do a YouTube video I think people really value that content more. Right. And so in a very short time I'll get a lot of views on a video because they know that I've got more work into it than just turning my camera on and videotaping myself. Right. That's awesome. And so I'm very excited to see, what's that? Periscope, everything goes wrong. Well, in a video I can record a few things the best one out there that I like, you know, for people to see. Right. Yeah. Which, which sometimes is good and sometimes is bad because we used to, we used to record videos and you know, just not even think about it just put it up and it, you know, if there was a little thing in there, it was in there and then as you start to get the following on YouTube it's like, oh my God, this has got to be perfect and the lighting's got to be right and then you're doing take after take and it gets harder to put out content but you're already putting out great content and I, I appreciate the, the videos that you have and I'm excited to see what you're going to do in the future with that. So, definitely, you know, I'm excited that we're going to work together on that and then we're going to put a page on there and to see your content popping up on there as well. Excited guys. Yeah, and we're going to, so how can people follow you if they're not already? Pretty much, I try to keep everything simple just Phil does hair, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, everything's, everything's the same. Okay, very cool. So go follow Phil does hair on YouTube and also if you're not following them on Instagram, follow them on Instagram as well and check out the new content that he's going to be creating. Phil, I'm definitely going to find you at a hair show coming up. I don't know how we haven't run into each other yet but it will happen. I see you're always interviewing people, so. That's about right. Well, that's what we need. We need you there. So, next time we'll hook up, we'll do an interview that, you know, we can sit down and really have a chat together. As I say, before we get out of here, everybody should go check out the work he posted today because when I was just flipping through the hashtag that piece she did that you posted the three photos of today with the red. Yeah. Awesome. I loved it. It was so cool. Everybody who's watching, I can tell you what it is. Just go look it up. Yeah. So, yeah. Yeah. Back and forth. Yeah. Very cool. I actually, I think I showed that to Christina while we were driving in the car. She was driving. I'm like, check this out. And so it was cool.

He's got a lot of great work. Let's finish up social. So, do you have any couple of questions? FSE, social media, FSE, social media. Submit your questions to Brian Hare on our Facebook community or by using the hashtag Lone Education. Hey! Boom! Well, we got a little bit of, a little bit of everything. Last week, we got some love on our episode. James Thelman says, thank you for having me after a busy day to put on these shows. It's hard work and I hope everyone appreciates it. Thank you. Thanks, James. James is putting out some cool work now, too. I've been following, I follow him and I see him post every once in a while. Really, a lot of love from Lana Seattle and Gerardo Cruz saying thank you. Hair Mentor also said thank you for the recognition. We were talking about last week. It's funny, we put up the video of the shampoo bowl thing that I was watching. I don't even remember when we did this. I was like, alright, well, that's good. It was like five hair colors ago for you. I know. That's what I was trying to engage it on. I was like, alright, my hair, I remember many people were commenting about the turning of the head to do the shampooing. I forget who it was that came up with that because I remember we were all like, Oh, it was me. Was it you? Yeah. It was me. I am the one. I am the one. Very couple. Because I was getting my hair colored and I was like, I wonder if I turned my head to the side if that makes it easier. Yeah. Because I remember I was like trying to lift the pillow off and like hold the head exactly. I was like, I think you need to move your head so I can get it back. It was not. That's what put the thought in her head. It was a bollin. Collaboration. Collaboration. That's the word. Sip says, pretty model, Drea, awesome Brian and busy Matt. And I know I said that because you can see your reflection running back and forth doing. Oh, you can. I was trying to figure out why he said that. I'm like, what is he talking about in that video? There he goes. There he goes. There he goes. There he goes. It was good. Oh, that's nice. Good times. All right. And then we got some questions on Instagram. What was the one that I wanted to do? No. Where did it go? I lost it. One job. I know. I can't do even one. I had somebody Jose who he's usually on here live. Yeah. I think he's on tonight. He's on tonight. So he he posted a comment and so I wanted to clarify because I tried to type it and I don't know but he watched the video that me and Josh XO did at America's beauty show in Chicago and I made a comment saying don't trust any of the scissor companies that have scissor bracelets. So he was confused. He said I don't understand why you wouldn't trust those companies so I just want to clarify when you go to those hair shows that have the scissor bracelets that wear most of the time it's the exact same scissor that they've bent and put around their wrist that they have for sale for $35 next to the table. So two for 40 exactly two for 40 and free bracelet you know like that I'm saying stay away from that wait no not deal what I said deal and I was like wait no it's a bracelet so if they're obviously they don't care about their scissors because they're bending them around your wrist they're not bending $1,000 scissors around a wrist exactly that's why there's not a Mizitani like right scissor bracelet can we make that I was saying version 3 of the gold Mizitani FSE it's a bracelet right so that's all I was saying is I just don't make a good scissor a bracelet as well that's not a good I wouldn't buy scissors that that booth so just check the quality check and make sure if the bracelet quality is the ones that they're selling that's it yeah alright I can't find the question the one that I wanted to hit on was someone they were asking advice basically when it comes to they don't want to lose clients but they're in extremely toxic salon but they're afraid if they move they're going to lose clients which one is better I thought it was a good question because I know I've seen you know the toxicity of some work environments and that's not going to get better so my advice was you know find some place that's going to be better for you and for them and because you know if you lose a couple people eventually they can find you right you know if they just can't travel out to you in a better right in a better work environment yeah I mean that's the big thing like you're only going to grow so much in that environment anyways so the few people that you may lose through that you're going to be more successful at a place that doesn't have that environment so I mean when I feel like right now it's so easy to be able to find it's not like it used to be where somebody left a salon and you can never find them again you just google it right on Instagram or Facebook yeah um Christina can find anybody on Facebook I'm good like that too I know I'm good like that with Instagram Instagram is hard that's funny alright one last one because this guy just put it up and I always like I had someone else ask me this question because I know somebody who just decided to go to beauty school so she was asked for advice and this guy Jesus just said what advice do y'all have on how to get an education at 20-24th and very excited good luck uh first of all you're doing it right because you're not even in school yet and you're looking into education right like outside education cause that's probably the number one thing I would say is get right out of the gate do your school work do what you're supposed to do in school but just always be drenching yourself with as much education Everyone's gonna have a million different ways to do the same thing and you're gonna have to find what works best for you to learn How to do your own thing? Yeah, and you're really lucky because go into school now There's so many opportunities for I can't I can't do this close to Christina I don't like sitting here because I can't see Chris. She we can't have our luck. She can't give me She's right in my Camera So But anyways, but it nowadays there's so many opportunities for education that I mean you can find it all over online There's different memberships that you can join and all kinds of different stuff So I think joining the beauty industry nowadays is so much because you don't rely on I really I gotta get educated So I got to bring in this shampoo to be educated, you know right now And then all they're gonna do is try to sell me that shampoo the whole time now There's independent educators all over the place and even the product companies now are Steering away. I think a little bit more and more because of the way that the industry is shifting To push product the whole time, you know, so I think schools are getting so many different opportunities to be part of hair Shows to be involved in the industry itself. So that's always a good sign My focus is just tell anybody you're there to pass your state board exam Yep, everything else is extra focus while you're there suck up all the information from every educator You can to pass that test because a lot of people get they they take too much information in and You can do an awesome blowout, but how do you do a proper volume roller set? That's literally the opposite of what we just I know what you're saying But I'm saying as a student don't overlook your state exam because you can know how to do the coolest Balayage and the coolest man's cut and the coolest Bob, but you can't do it without a license. Yeah, I would say don't overlook Yeah, don't over look it. Yeah, you guys are so wise Yodas, I know it took us 92 episodes to get this smart Wicked smart All right, all right, and that's good on me. All right cool trending tresses Here's trending tresses That was pretty good, I did not need to pay that girl to say that I know Christina just needs to make them That's all change our names for next week Wow, all right, so There's a big waste of money All right, so um Ashley Tisdale is back I'm sorry Brian. I had to do it because she Another inch short again. No, she's strawberry blonde pixie now. Oh good for her She's got a red pixie cut Good for you That's strawberry blonde I don't know at first glance. I'm like, yeah strawberry blonde, but the more I look at it Just it looks like it's like car brown With a goal like not a goal, but a blonde band What was that trend that lasted for like five seconds where they made it light through the middle? Oh, yeah Splash lights. Yeah, do you know those lollipop the sugar daddies? It reminds me of that Yeah, I want to rip out all my teeth I see it I see it do you uh, yeah But it does because it's like really bright right in that spot and it but yeah I like it. I think it's interesting to see her not as That bleached out blonde that she usually is this girl would not get famous today. No give me the blonde I Think it looks better on her now. She needs her waist long hair back. Yeah, I don't I'm just kidding I really don't care. I think it'll be interesting to see how I like every other girl on the left though It's like Kesha. Yeah, just a little bit I'm not mad about that. I like Kesha. All right moving on All right Do you guys hear the spa music? Yeah, I didn't want to say I didn't want to say anything about it Bill was talking about that We're setting the mood Phil you're welcome. I didn't say your name sad keep texting All right, so next we have Taraji P. Henson so just on she was just on here two weeks ago for the purple to gray Ombre well, you're keeping up with these folks. This is the only press they're getting so they just keep changing their hair They know they're watching I made the tresses again I'm pretty sure they have no idea who you all wise people are can you prove that?

Yeah, same Rudy like the Rudy bond Same hairdresser But it's fun. I like the texture. I like that different eyes. Yeah, I just wish there was more They see a little more transition It looks like she might have just taken a blonde wig and put it over her short brown hair Like draped it over like I do with my client's extensions. Yeah What's that it's like lady in the streets and freaking the bed She really does know I Next is It's just a sneak peek of it because it has not been I can't find a decent picture of it anywhere on the Internet There isn't I kept looking the nerd universe is getting very excited over this so scar Joe instead of her normal Red wig for black widow is Actually gone red herself So and it's sure and they're wondering ever I was reading all kinds of articles this Weekend about like what storyline they may give her because of this like when the black widow had super short hair in the comics This is what was going on and I'm like you have no idea what her hair is gonna look like on set I get it that she's on set, but I don't think that's the costume for a Captain America movie. Yeah So I'm I'm excited about this. I can't wait to see it. She looks good as a redhead. She does good as anything. Yeah Nice All right, and then we have our another favorite person up here Britney Spears who she still has hair. She has not taken a good picture in 15 years No, so what kills me about this picture is the extensions are back in they're not blended That's what bothers her lips are this how did her forehead get bigger like those wine This isn't the trust this is the roast of Britney Spears She know about the shot by Satra for a lips. No stop, but I'm not done with my critiques yet Okay, the blonde in the extensions doesn't even match the blonde on the top of her head And then she has the nice little lavender ends happening. Yeah, the lavender color is pretty. She still looks like crap She was actually a big conversation at our family dinner table the other night About her having a show in Vegas now. Yeah, we were talking about her, right? She's been in Vegas for like a year now. Yeah, it looks like it Was that a dinner? Was that even Britney Spears was it Vegas? She's looks like she's working Vegas. Yeah All right, and we last but not least Brian and I saw this a couple weeks ago and we keep meaning to bring it up on the show I finally threw it on the tracas. I want this hanging up in every salon around the world. So Courtney put on those little banners that you can talk about at the hair shows Yeah, the satin ones could be that one Christina So we can all see the exact transition of Courtney's Trip to blonde it didn't happen overnight. It's been years. Well, maybe not years, but it's been a while It's been a lot of steps it's been a lot of steps. It's been Hair started at the beginning of time when he started doing hair and this is what we're ended with but it well It wasn't like Kim's transition, which it was like boom Spend all day in the salon and come back with right Blonde hair, but no hers has transitioned But I think it's good because I think this gives even if it's not like if you're not talking about the time This is a beautiful representation of the color correction of when someone comes you with dark hair and says they really want to be light That's fine But don't get pissed that it's not happening today or the next month Yeah, or even the month after that Expect this journey like if you can if you're okay with the fact that that first picture is January and that last picture is October August Then cool we can do this. Well, and the fact that it shows the actual levels of warmth that it goes through You know in the first picture. It's or sorry the second picture. You have those really rusty Warm, it's red. It's red. That's what it is. Sorry about it And then it kind of evens out a little bit and then we get to yellow And then you get the perfect Instagram filter and you get that white blonde at the end Done Fantastic perfect.
