 Splitting Hares, the hairdresser's podcast starts now. Featuring Matt Beck, Christina Cavalcanti, Brian Hare, Brea Bolland, Thaddeus Bolland, and Justin Scott. Hey guys, this is Matt Beck from freesaloneducation.com, episode 95, Splitting Hares. The hairdresser's podcast, I'm here with Brian Hare. Hi. Brea Bolland. Hey, hey. Justin Scott. Fat Bolland, running everything right now. Christina, Christina's on her way. Tonight we have a really fun evening planned. So we're gonna have a good time. So we did the podcast a little bit early, almost actually on the normal, on time. Yeah. Our early stay we're gonna be. So we're gonna do a quick podcast tonight because we're having our quarterly meeting tonight. Me and Christina are without child for three days. So we don't have our son and we dropped him off today. So we don't have him until Saturday. We meet up with them again. I enjoyed watching him skateboard. Yeah, that was a great video. So yeah, I had a good week in the way. We went to Asbury Park, which was fun. I'd never really been close to Asbury Park usually. I love Asbury. Did you go to the pinball museum? Didn't. We didn't do a lot in Asbury, but we mostly spent the time on the beach. That's really what we do. We had ice cream. We should try that sometime because it's a good time. It looked really cool. We rented a house through Airbnb, which was my first time with that. And we rented this tiny little house. It was like 900 square feet probably, but the entire house was a skateboard ramp. Oh yeah. I'm kinda jealous. It was really cool. And we actually, so the guy had stuff hanging on his refrigerator and everything. I wish Christina was here to talk about it, but it was crazy. The guy was like a professional BMX writer. Oh, cool. So it was like his place and he had a magazine articles up of him and he has a little kid. So really that's why he built a ramp in his house. So it was fun. And our son got to skateboard and we went to the beach and stuff. So it was cool. And it was a good little break from everything. And it was so unplanned that we didn't even book it till we were at the beach already. So we didn't have clothes. We didn't have anything. And it was funny. As I said to Christina. How you guys roll? We went to Walmart that night at like 11 o'clock to get supplies. Like toothbrush. What kind of creatures did you see? So here's the crazy thing. Wait, wait, wait, are you talking about the one in front of the Home Depot on the right off the parkway? I'm talking about the Walmart next to because we went to the outlets. Yeah, it's right under the outlets. Yeah, creepy wall, yeah. Yeah, such good trend. So anyways, he's been there. Yeah, I guess. I actually, I drove past it this weekend. Oh, you did? There's terrifying horrible people there. That's where Justin hangs out on Friday. Exactly. I probably saw him there, didn't even know. I followed you. The funny thing is I had to buy shampoo. He actually rolled. So I felt what it was like to be a real human being in the shampoo world. The comic book? $22 for like, there was so many things that I almost bought professional products there because it was like, I don't want to buy the other stuff. But I didn't. I ended up, picked up so much. I got dove men. I know, look at it. So this is the problem. Because we left here. Yeah, I get it, but just don't. You have a Cosoprof. I needed soap. Why don't you just find the local Cosoprof? It was 11 o'clock at night. It was 11 o'clock at night. Wait till the next day. That, the beach is there. You're at the beach all day. Just don't wash your hair. See, that is mine stinking. First off, that's the stinky roadie. He has no hair. And look how pale he is. He doesn't go to the beach. I was paying attention to the computer. I thought this was when you first got down there, like when you left there, you got down there later. You're like, crap. No, Christina had found the house the day before. We were like, eh, I don't know. We were going to rent it for the week and then. Did she have to buy shampoo? Or did she just suck it up and not wash her hair? She bought this keratin coconut. Have you been to this Walmart? A bottle of shampoo. Yeah, to use one night away from home. Well, you're two nights. Oh, well, excuse me. Yeah, all right then. It was two nights. Did you give it to a homeless man when you were done? Because you should have. I don't know what. Christina loves a shampoo. She was like, I love this. I don't know. So that's on the free will next week. Yes. She's going to love it until it gives her build-up. Yeah. So we had a good time. And yeah, and that was my weekend. But nice and relaxed. We got some new stuff going on on freesaloneducation.com. So there's been a lot actually going on. The new website has taken off. We've had over 3,500 video views on FSE Tube. That's awesome. We have over 400 education videos on there now. Guy Tang has put videos. Phil does hair. Confessions of a stylist. We have Candy Shaw posted like 45 videos on there. I think even Will and Britt posted a video up there. So it's just really cool. We started a contest that, if you want to throw that slide up. The. Hup. Hup. Hup. Hup. Hup. Hup. So we keep things in bad stomach. Yeah. The contest is back. The contest we did last year. Super excited about that. Yeah. So I'm really excited. And I'm excited because of the platform we have now. Right. FSE Tube is really cool. It's very easy to use. It's mobile friendly. You can upload your videos very easily. And Mizutani is sponsoring it, giving $1,000 cash. Well, actually, we're going half and half this time. So FSE is giving 500, and Mizutani is giving 500, and they're giving a pair of free scissors. And this time, we looked at their choice. Yeah. Well, you get to play, like, to participate. Yeah. I don't think so, Dad. I think people would think it was a little unfair. Dad, you're still going to try to find a way. Well, that's the funny part, too. It happened right before, like, as I got the answer, we were telling you. You were telling me about it. Then you asked me why I'm not working here. And I'm like, but I can't do the contest. Can I wait until the first of the year? And it's really. Because that wouldn't have looked great. I remember what I like about this one is that it's a choice of shears for this one. Which are the ones I like, the Pring Mantis or one of them. Yeah. So it's the Type Z2, the DB20, or the Type K. I'm trying to remember which the Type K is. Type K, remember the scissor I gave to Barrett? Yeah. It's that one. Oh, I like that one. Super simple, really awesome. Not that one. Then I don't remember. No, I didn't give her that one. She liked that, the Ichinino San one. Gotcha. My favorite is still the Z2. Yeah, the Z2 is the Pring Mantis. So if you guys want to check those out, freesaloneducation.com or shopfse.com, you can check those out there and FSE Tube. So all you have to do is go to FSE Tube and upload one video. That's it. It's simple. Even to sign up is simple. I think you put your name, your email, and that's it. So you sign up, upload a video just by copying and pasting your link from YouTube or Vimeo, and that's it. Is it like last year's where it has to be made specifically for the content? No, and that's the big difference. And I wanted to make sure of that because people have already worked hard making videos, and that's really what FSE Tube is all about, is allowing you guys to have a platform to share. freesaloneducation.com for a long time. We put out so much content because we had to. No one knew what this was. We wanted to grow it. We needed to grow it. You guys grew as artists. We're going to keep featuring you guys individually, but we have big projects coming up for us. But FSE Tube is a place now where hairstylists can post things and share things. And the same thing with Instagram. I want you guys to hashtag freesaloneducation so we can share along with you. And I think it's cool and people seem to be liking it. Now, can you get to FSE Tube? We're still telling people to go through freesaloneducation. You can go through freesaloneducation or fseTube.com. Yeah, it works now. I just tried that and it did. I can get to it like just now. I can get to it through freesaloneducation, but it told me for fseTube.com. I don't know what the deal is with fseTube.com because when you click on that link in freesaloneducation, it's taking you to fseTube.com. No, mine just worked. I just got it. Here's the deal. I think it takes a while to cycle. Yeah, I know. Brian, you're not the only one. It takes a while to cycle through, I think. And because I've been doing so many changes and updates, some browsers nowadays, they collect all the cookies and the data and all that stuff. That's basically so it can load the site quickly and remember what you've been doing. So if you went to the site before and it was called something else, it doesn't know where to go. So sometimes you have to refresh your cookies and all that stuff to make sure the site works. But it should work, I know. Now, Matt, you did say, I know I didn't feed you guys before. You're like so angry. You did say, God, I love the background. It's so much fun. The skeleton crossbones are the scissors. It's cool. The only thing is I noticed and I have to, so I've got to create my own version of this, but every other one is also needles. Yeah, they're not all scissors. So that's a little secret for those of you that watch splitting hairs. Now, as far as the contest goes, I know you said that all you need to do is upload one. Can you increase your chances of winning by uploading multiple? Of course. But now that does not guarantee that you're getting a better chance. Like we're not picking out of a hat. Yeah, it's not a random selection. We might like one video more than the other. Yeah, as of right now, I'm actually, here's with the deal, there is a contest. The winner of the overall video that we love is getting that prize, but there's gonna be other prizes. I'm gonna talk to Millennium. I'm gonna talk to Minerva. So there's gonna be, I really wanna separate the contest as well. It's not just gonna be two prizes this time. We have a few months, and I'm on the phone with them right now. So there's gonna be, yeah, well. Like right this time. Probably, actually. Yeah, throw it on his phone. No, because the more videos that get posted, would you say that there's a better chance of Brian and I slipping one in and not going underneath the radar? You know what's amazing me right now with that is that you can handle the sound, the video switching, and commentary at the same time. That's what you think. Like it's a total shit show. I don't have to. See, all I had to do was work. He's on a camera that's like somehow in the bathroom. I don't have to worry about my mouth because it just speaks for me. Okay. So that's what it does? I focus on the cameras and the sound, and then the mouth just says what it wants. Very good. Okay, so. Well moving on. That's gonna be super fun. I mentioned the skull a few episodes back, Cyprian says. So I dig it too. I think it's cool looking. It's cute. You're managing my tattoo. Yeah, I like it. So I'm just gonna spread my entire body on that background. This is gonna get weird. That just got weird. I'm so happy for Paul. Matt, can I have a high five again, weird? Yeah, Brian's face. But I'm not gonna let you go though. That's weird. Yeah. Stop. You know what's gonna be weird? Tonight, dinner. If you guys are on Periscope, you should definitely check it out. Oh yeah. It's gonna get real weird. Because we're without kid, like I said. So it could get really weird. All right, we haven't even started the show. Let's do it. I don't have a first client show. Let's jump into it. Let's get into industry news with Justin Scott. This guy. Can you hear me okay? Yeah, I can. And now, now, an heir industry news from Justin Scott. That was the quietest intro. It was. It's again now. Now even his intro is a goddamn whisper. He's whispering to you. I should write the guy and be like, can you just whisper this? Because that would be fun. Just get the ging-ging twins to do it. That'd be so much fun. I'm sure they're looking for work right now. Okay. All right. News stuff. Yeah, whatever. Yeah, dad, you can turn that down. Just keep rolling. I want a slow taper. Let's stop the slow taper. And okay. It just ran out of track. Sorry about that. So news, news, news, news. We got news. The first thing we're gonna talk about, when I did my video of things I can't live without, tools I can't live without, there was a straight blade in there. I don't know, about seven, eight months ago, I picked up this straight blade kit, fell in love with this blade. It's one of the most comfortable ones that ever use. It was made by Parker Safety Blade Company. Yeah. I did some research into them. They are worldwide distributors. He started out of his basement. Kind of like recent education. He did. What he did was he couldn't find blades to use in the States, so he started importing a few different types of blades to use at home. And then started distributing those to Barbers. He's actually the reason Persona is apparently distributed in America. So one of the most widely used blades here was because of this guy. Okay. But his name's Howie, nice guy in the world, runs a company. I like that name. Did you talk to him? I spoke to him directly. I shot him an email. I shot him one a while ago, and I think it went into a spam folder because I sent him another one on yesterday. Within 15 minutes, he'd be sending an email, he calls me. He's located in New York City. That's great. So he's right down the road. We should get him in here. Yeah. Howie's sharp hands? No. This is a cool thing. Justin's really been working hard. And all these free prizes that we have, you have been nonstop sending emails to companies and stuff. So it's really cool. This razor I'm excited about because I've seen yours. I'm gonna put them onto the shop. We're working on it. And that's the next thing, yeah. So what I did was I spoke to him about free son education. He fell in love with the idea. He thinks we're gonna be able to help him and he can help us, which vice versa, that's what's gonna go down. So he's gonna be a part of the free will, which is tonight. So if you wanna bring up the picture of the razor, we are going to have his SRB razor. It's a swing arm safety razor. So it uses disposable blades. There's just one razor, correct? Correct. Not the blades? No, just the razor. I can't see it, so I'm assuming you did it right. So this is the SR8. This is what we're giving away on the free wheel. Okay. When it gets closer to the 100th episode, he might do some different special for that. But as it stands right now, he's going to be giving away this SR8 safety razor, which is similar to the one I use, except it has a different handle. And if you wanna pull up the blades now, he's also giving away a box of 100 free shark blades. Now, I've seen these blades on Amazon and I've been kind of curious about it. I haven't heard. I've been worried about them because of Amazon. No, that's where I picked mine up was from Amazon. Yeah, because there's like, you can get just about anything. Wait, wait, wait, I wanna pause you. You're worried about Amazon. That's where everything you buy comes from. I'm pretty sure you got the Shirako on Prime. I don't know anything about these blades. So like I only buy stuff like on Amazon that I know. I like them for certain stuff. I think for what we are doing right now, this is gonna be awesome for people to kind of get comfortable with using a straight blade. They're gonna be great for doing razor cuts on people's hair, which is why I wanted to put it on the freewheel, because we have a very small barber community who watch this, more hairdressers who are interested in barbering. So this way it'll break them out of just wanting to think of a straight blade as for a men's face shave or just cleaning up a neckline. That uses them on a daily basis, doing women's hair cuts for razor cuts. You know, it's also something really cool. You can teach your guests about when they're in your chair as a gift for a husband or a brother or whatever that case may be. We're gonna be selling these on the FSE shop too. We're gonna have a few different types. And also these are- Basically Justin sent me an email. He's like, can you spend some money and get these? But I think that they're really cool and I'm excited to have that kind of tool on there. And not for nothing. They make so much different product and the prices are fantastic. Yeah, prices are really good. Prices for, and you don't have to buy a minimum, but the prices for a salon owner or a barber shop to buy these is- I think it's like 17 bucks for like the straight blade. Yeah. No, that one's not 17 at all. Like the top of the line ones are like 17, 18 R cost. Okay. I'm excited about that. And then they have actually shave kits, which is what I wanted to- That's what I'm gonna bring. Like a full shave kit with a leather tote bag. Right. You put on the shelf between September and December, there's nothing, there's nobody that won't buy those kids go to college, husbands, grandfathers, fathers. Right. And again, think of that dollar shave club, how good that's doing. You sell a box of razors in your salon for a hundred days for $20 plus this thing. It's a hundred shaves for $20 your guest's buying. Yeah. You know, so- It's a hell of a lot cheaper than a dog bit, 3,000. Right. So I'm really excited to work with these guys. Like I said, they got Howie I talked to, nice guy in the world. He was gonna watch tonight, but he told me he's getting prepared. He's sending his two children away. I think he has two to college. So good luck to you. Where is he sending them? He's sending them off to this, you know. Getting rid of them. To the Amazon. All right, cool. So look for that. Parker Razor will be on there tonight and I hope somebody wins one. Yeah. But yeah, now let's talk about some hair. Some hair. All right, dad. This week in lieu of the Parker Razor. Those are in order, dad, just so you know. I was counting on that. Okay. In lieu of the Parker Razor, I decide to go ahead and do a little bit more of men's cuts this week. Okay. Oh yeah. So the first one is going to be DJKJR. Say that. DJKJR? I'm kidding. DJKJR? There you go. So DJKJR, this cut was just real clean. The photo was simple. Nice clean back to it, you know. There's not a lot going on. You focus on the haircut. And the chin strap, the little beard area, again. Yeah, they cleaned it up nice. Right to a perfect point. Exactly, everything had good shape to it. The hair wasn't slick to the head. And if you look at the side of the hair where it tapers into the length, you see how they worked with how that just stands up. It's like my hair. You're not going to have that sit very nicely. So you get a good haircut for the texture of the hair itself. What I like about this is that I know that there's a lot of people that come in with widow speaks. And they'll say, what's a good haircut for me? Like I have a widow speak. This would be a great example of it because people are going to be so focused on one, the fade, two, how clean everything looks to even really notice the widow speak. The thing that I love possibly the most about this is the fact that it's styled with the front of it out and back. Yeah, like a proper pompadour. Right, it's not. It's not slick to the head. Right, like it's up. But so often I see where people do up and then it doesn't like bow out a little bit. You know what I'm saying? Like that little pop right there. You can tell you used a proper brush and a blow dryer to get that one going. Did a damn good job. Good job, DJK Jr. The next one, we're going to go to Dana Free's hair. Sure. This is just ridiculous. It's so good. The color on this. I saw this and I was like, geez. I just shared one of his photos. You bet. Yeah, I saw that. I know, I'm like, half of this now, now that I'm doing this and sharing these people's photos, it makes me just want to quit. I'm like, Jesus, these people. Like there are some super talented hairdressers who don't get any recognition, who deserve it. And that's what I love. I love finding these people that maybe don't have quite, you know, that should have a huge following, you know? And I don't know what his following is. I couldn't tell you right now, but I just, this work is awesome. It's so clean and everything he does, lines are on point, you know? And I love his logo in it too. I just think this picture is on point. That's another reason I picked a few of these pictures to showcase the logos that they use in them. Yeah. So yeah, good job. Very clean. I think the color works with it very well too. Yup. Go check it out guys. Next one. Hair by Tiffany. I love this. I stumbled upon her Instagram today and though she doesn't use her Instagram hashtag, I just couldn't help. She had a page of these beautiful fantasy colors and the way she showcases them is perfect. I love the waterfall braid. Exactly. With blue on top and the black on the bottom. Yeah. How she made everything just so, just elegant. It's like, that's a really good, that was clearly planned out. Yeah. The braid has put it the exact perfect spot to give that cool effect of it. You know, cause you can see where like, the ombre is like just peeking out from above that braid. So she put it in the perfect spot to get the black on the bottom side of the braid. But here's the thing, all of her photos are just done so well. Like she puts time into everything she does. She gets hair. Yeah. She knows what she's doing. She knows how to manipulate hair and make it do what she wants it to do. And another thing, I picked this one and I wanted to showcase it cause there's a little tag at the bottom. Cause she doesn't want anybody to steal her work. It's not overbearing. It's clean. It's nice. It's classy. You don't, your eye isn't drawn to that more than the actual work itself, which a lot of people kind of overdo. So good job, Tiffany. Another one. I found these guys this week and this guy's work is just insane. Plus he has a black flag logo with combs which was really cool. Like that. The black comb is his thing. And again, the comb logo in the bottom corner is done really well. Not overbearing. It's fun. It's catchy, you know. You can't mistake it for anything else. And the haircut. What I liked about this is it's tapered, but it's hair. You couldn't wait for that tag to go away before you screen shot it? No, I just saw that now. Whoops. But. I do it all the time. That's the only reason I noticed it. You should have a pretty good about that too. But no, this one, it's a tapered haircut but it's styled well and exactly it's not a faded, you know, skin tight taper. It's a taper with hair, which is again, you don't see people actually taking the time to do that anymore. Yeah. They just want to take a pair, you know. Clippers go at you. Have a good day. Bye. Your story, bro. All his work is insane. Very clean. Actually, I think this was a guy who's getting married that day. Oh, good for him. Oh, that was nice. That was great. That was good. We're stupid. And the last one is original barber. I hope that's a kid just because I love really good haircuts on kids. That's what I was going to say. To take the time to do this on a kid says a lot, to get a good hard part, to get a clean fade, like to stick a razor to it. I watched the guy from Wall one time a couple of years ago at the October show for Sloan Centric. He took a kid up on stage. I remember that. You remember that? He faded the kid and I was like, I sat there and watched the whole thing. I was blown away. I mean, the kid was like the best kid ever. Oh, absolutely. He said it still perfectly. I think it's because if I recall correctly, if we're like, this is the same kid, his mom was actually friends with the hairstyles. Okay. And I'm sure that she told him, she's like, if you move, you're not gonna be nice, you're gonna be dead. But yeah, no. And again, to do that on anybody is tough, especially on a child with the little head, you know, and pain in the ass hair usually. But he is the original barber. I was gonna say, he is the original. So he knows where it's up. We found it, guys. We found the first one. Got the OB. It's awesome. So that's my news for the day. And yeah. Oh, and I got tank top of the day. I got some wicked shark teeth on the back. I bought this like two and a half months ago. Yeah. And I was so excited to wear it on the show. And then I thought I lost it or somebody snagged it. And I was getting dressed last week and I'm sitting down tying my shoes. And I look at like where I keep my sweatshirts. Like the hell's hanging. You have a place where you keep your sweatshirts? They're hung on hooks. There's like five or six of them. And sweet. I go to look. The thing's hanging out from underneath it. It was in the sweatshirt for the past two and a half months. I thought it was stolen. Well, that makes no sense. No, what is this world? What did you do that? So, and you have a button. And Brian has a button. And Dreya. Dreya, what is this thing called? Has a button now. Dreya, what's this on my shirt? I'm not talking to you right now. Just say it. Dad, what is it? Brian. I don't get it with Brian. He doesn't have the button. It's Kitten. How do you? And if anyone. Well, maybe I should get some FSE Kittens then. And you could. So we have. And that's the news. If somebody can get Phil up. If you're watching Phil does hair on Periscope, I just saw him pop up. If you're watching him, tell him we're going to talk about him in a little bit, because he posted some positive stuff today. Please direct your Periscope to your Freestyle and Education. So, all right, let's get into, Dad, you ready to get into Dreya? Yep. Yeah. Trending Tresses. Get the 4-1-1 on Celebrity Hair Changes. Here's Trending Tresses with Dreya Boland. All right, so our first one isn't exactly a celebrity style, but Dad showed me this article earlier in the week, and it's this Brazilian artist who has turned pictures of people into 3D, just these little 3D paintings. And I think it's really fun. So. I saw this, and I didn't know what that was. I love the picture of the little girl with the suicide role. I thought it was fantastic. Who is it doing this? His name is Julio Cesar, and he's a Brazilian artist. Brazilian? That's exact. I know. What if Christina knows him? It was funny. Is that her? They were probably best friends growing up. Are they related? Yeah. When I first saw this, I actually thought that it was a hairstyle that saw these paintings. That's what I thought it was. Yeah, that's what I thought, too. I mean, the other ones aren't like this one, but they're all really cool. But I thought that little girl was so cute getting her hair done. She's cuter in the painting. Yeah, that's true. But I thought that was fun. Very cool. All right, the next thing that is trending right now is hair tapestries. I want to know. I want to do it. I want to know how long it takes to get to do this, because I've done tapestry before. I did it at summer camp once, and that was pretty hard. So when I first. Can you get working on this, Drew, just so we can. When I saw this a couple minutes, like a week or two ago when I was showing Justin, this picture is way more intense than what most people are doing. The pictures I was showing Justin, it's just something, it's like a small piece like this, that they just sort of put somewhere in the hair. Kind of like the hair apps? Like just as like a little accessory. No, I mean, no. No? I was trying to make that, yes, but no. Just no, no worries. Like, I mean, this is really pretty, but that's so much work. I was going to say, that's a lot of detail. Got to come out before they shampoo their hair. OK. But I could see doing like, if it wasn't going to take you more than 15, 20 minutes, like they're. And are we sure that's not just like somehow? That's actually a weft of hair. If you look at the very top of the photo. Yeah, I was going to say, it looks very. It's a weft of hair. A weft. But it's still, that's not. Cool for a photo. That looks like the kind of extensions that I wear. Like you just kind of clip it right on top and say yellow. I mean, it's one of those things that takes hours. Like that's not a very quick and simple thing to do. But if you look it up, like actually Google it, there's some really cool where they've sewn, like a medallion size, just with some colors. Oh, yeah. I could see doing it for like an occasion. Right. You're going to a festival or a wedding and it goes with your dress or something like that. But it looks it looks cool. All right. So I thought that was fun. Good find, right? But I have my long hair. I'm going to do that. When my hair gets hashtag Jesus long. Yeah, we're going to do that. OK. OK. All right. So Hayden will be in college. It's coming. Casey Musgrave has also joined the Unicorn Hair Club with this very pretty lavender shade that she has. Are we sure it's lavender? Because that's a really modified photo. Filtered is F. It is filtered a lot, but it looks like it's just like deepened. Yeah. You know, but I think it's definitely who knows. It's lavender. It looks like there might be hints of something teal-esque at the ends. I believe that could be correct. See that? Yeah. That one little curl right there. Yeah, that just little suggesting something. Well, hell, it could really be anything, to be honest. It could be black. Yeah. Black ends. So that was fun. And then our final photo is of Jennifer Hudson. J-Hud. And she has shaved her head. And it is inspired by Grace Jones. What do you mean, ugh? It doesn't look good on her. She's like a bolt. The picture, I'm shaking. She has like a perfectly shaped head, I feel like. Yeah. And with that amount of makeup, she looks perfect with a shaved head. Anyway, it was inspired by Grace Jones, who first made the flat top fade in the 70s and 80s. OK. When was that? Microphone. 70s and 80s. 80s. I hate that. That's what I was talking about. What else? A to the Z, yo. But I thought those were fun, and those are the trending dresses. I like her with her short hair. I like it. Very cool. All right. I'm going to race her. That's the dresses? That's the dresses. Let's see who wears their hair out first. Me or J-Hud? I'm going to go with her. Well, no. I believe Brian will actually grow your hair out. She will probably grow her hair and then put some weave in it, some extensions. I'm going to. A wig. Yeah, I know you are too, but not on a daily. YOLO. All right. Ready, start, go. FSC social fact. I never let him do it. I'm sorry. No, you're fine. I was just saying race at good for the race to grow out your hair. Oh, OK, go. You have to be like super rapid fire. OK. Then. Do you want to read them? Nobody answer any questions. Right. And we're done. That was the show. Thanks, guys. Bye. No, I mean, do you want there's there's 20 of them? Do you really want to do that? Let's see what we can get through in the next. I'll pick a couple that I and one person can answer. How about that? OK, in five minutes, let's see how far we can get through. I will cap you at 7.56. Wait, no one else gets a timed segment. No, ready, set, go. I was really fast. All right, wait. It's so funny. People with their segments on the show, I feel like everyone's like, like they didn't talk the entire show. Like we all talk the entire show. They're wasting time. It's really just reading questions. Yeah, this doesn't count as my five minutes. So actually, you're at four minutes. Here we go. So we, as a collective group, as a team that's going to dinner tonight, I'm going to have a good time. As a team, we are going to spend the next five minutes answering these questions, but we only have five minutes to get through 20. We have four. Let's go, go. Here we go. All right, well, first off, we got the question before this even started about barbicide on scissors. Yes. Was it the same person? No. We said we were going to talk about it on the show. I told them we were going to talk about it on the show. Oh, I thought you got it from here first, and then I saw it come through. OK, OK, cool. No, it was just on here. All right. So I'm not going to answer because I was wrong. So I'm going to give this to Matt. They just asked, can you put barbicide on shears? Which makes sense to ask because we use it to clean our tools. So is it something that you can use to clean shears? Yeah, my quick answer would be, I don't think that you need to put barbicide on scissors. And it is, me and Thad talked about a corrosive thing. So it's going to dry up your scissor. The quick answer is no. Yes, no. Good job, moving on. Next one. All right, I have a technical interview coming up on Tuesday at a salon. Their main clientele is men. I have to do a men's cut and a women's partial highlight and finish. They're providing models. Any tips on technical interviews regarding nerves? Don't be nervous, I think. Well, I mean, they're asking them to do something specific. That's pretty intense. I mean, if you know what they're looking for, study it. Make sure you feel comfortable with it. If you're providing your own models, bring people that you know that you're comfortable with. And that you've done their hair thousands of times. More importantly, know that they have good hair. And watch a lot of our videos because you probably have a video about anything they're going to ask you to do. But they're providing the models. Wait, did I say it? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I even read that. Yeah, so they're providing the models. So I would just say study up on those two things. I mean, that's cool because you know what they're focusing on. At least they're not surprised. Or find the models and pay them off to shave their heads. Oh, that's Pam Berry. And she's watching tonight. Cool. So good luck. OK, good luck. Let us know. Next one. All right, sweet. What are some good ways to promote yourself if you don't have a Facebook? Instagram helps. But I want to think of ways to do it on a daily basis without being pushy on people. Well, screw Facebook first off. I hate Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg. That's yours. Yelp this year. It's Facebook. Facebook is the worst thing. I actually like Yelp now. I'm changing my all my ways. But Facebook. Who are you? Don't even worry about Facebook. Facebook's stupid. It doesn't get you any new clients. Instagram is the way to go. Yeah. Facebook is controlling everything. Facebook in word of mouth. But I don't think you shouldn't be grabbing your clientele from social media. You can get lucky and build social media and get a clientele. Social media should be your portfolio. Yeah. Not your business card. Exactly. Yeah. And so go out in your town. Introduce yourself. We talk about it every week. So just, you know, just make sure that you're, you're out there becoming friends with people. Like that's how you do it. You become friends with your town. Two minutes. And you're good. Excuse me. All right. Men's hairstyles in Europe are showing men wearing more bangs and textured tops with their face and fuller tops and more curl with the undercuts and taking the hard parts back to the crown in double lines and on both sides. The question is how long does it take you to convince guys to make a change and do you think the top knot and man bun is fading out? I hope not. I hope they all go away and never come back. And it all depends on how much they trust you. I have guys come in here who, the first haircut there is like, I'll just take this. Now they come in here and let me do whatever I want. It's building a relationship. Exactly. It's all about them building trust in you to let you do what they feel. If you can do anything, they're going to let you say, make me look good. Well, I also feel like you're going to have your clients that are going to trust you and say, okay, I trust that you're going to put my best interest as far as me wanting to look fashionable. I'm glad I was able to finish that sentence. Thank you. Then you're going to have guys that just want what they want, a nice, easy haircut. And you're going to have guys that are going to come in to you. Well, that, we're not talking about like the 10 different types of guests. We're just saying we're going to make them comfortable with whatever they have. But what I'm saying is that if you have somebody who never wants to have like that in haircut, you're not going to be able to convince them one way or the other. That wasn't the question. I mean, you're going to convince them. You're not trying to convince them. You're trying to change what they have to what you know that they can use. Well, it sort of was the question because she asked how long would it take to convince them? If they're the type that are going to want that haircut, it's not going to take very long. If they don't, then you're not going to be able to convince them to do so. Were you wearing a top knot like three months ago? Yeah. And then I saw how hideous they were and how gross they are. Nobody takes care of them and they should all be gone. I'm crying it. I've seen maybe five good ones ever. Me and Kristen love a man bun. I agree. All right. Next one. Next one. We have a minute. Can you go over what the technical skills that each of us should have to be successful at a salon? She thinks she worked at a salon for 90 days at the salon and they told me my skills were not where they should be. But the timeframe for each service should be blow dry 20 minutes, for example. I guess. I love that it's salons judge skill by time. Yeah. Like that's not skill. It's not. Being on time is a good thing. It's a point, but timing comes. Yeah. Timing comes and you could have, it's all based on pricing at that point. If you have somebody that takes five hours but they do a fantastic job and they just take more time with their guests than somebody else, then that's what it is. And I get as a salon, you don't want somebody doing a $30 haircut for four hours, but at the same time, if they're doing the best haircut ever for four hours, then they should be charging $100. So that's just silly. All right. Who are your role models in the industry? Jordan Cox is asking. Okay. Let's just say who it is and then... All right. Go. Do you have somebody? I'm asking you. Okay. I would say my biggest one would be Robert Cromings. I mean, it always has been. As you know, as I move forward, I meet new people, but Robert Cromings was a big influence in my career, for sure. All right. Justin. I don't really have one, to be honest with you. I pull from a lot. It's hard to pull one. It really is. But if you had to pull one. I can't. Anybody that you look up to right now? Damn it, what's his name? Brian. I can't think of his name. Clearly, his name's traditional. Oh, shut up. He's down in the ball. All right, Brian, go. Who's yours? Yeah. I'm going to find it right now. It's going to piss me off. Matt Beck. Stop. Who is it really? Why can't it be? Well, it can't be. I voluntarily came to work for you, because I liked what I learned. Yeah, I'm going to go with Matt Beck. Jesus. This is not what these people want to hear. Other than Matt Beck. Good job, Drea. Christina Cavalcanti. Christina. Right now, I'm really inspired. I love Rihanna Capri's work, and she's a celebrity stylist. I love following her Instagram and seeing what she puts out. I think it's fantastic. I'm with Justin, though. I get a lot of... It's more like inspiration from places than one... It's hard now. I want to emulate. Yeah, I was going to say, I want to give it like a generic answer of anybody who's doing something that I want to do and they're doing it really well. Yeah. I'm inspired by them. I want to learn how they're doing it. I want to learn how somebody else who's also doing it really well, how they're doing it so that I can learn it. Well, and that's the thing. When you look at somebody nowadays, there are so many people, somebody that influenced your entire career. You know what I mean? Somebody that has... How the hell am I going to say you? Molded your career. I'm going to go with you and Burdus. Who's Burdus? The guy, one of the scumbag barbers with the curly mustache bald head. Very cool. Okay. All right, sweet. I think that that's the big thing. All right, next one. Cute. What are your recommendations for a newly graduated cosmetologist as far as job placement goes? As far as working at a commission-based salon, rent-based, does that have anything to do? Or somewhere like Ulta with hourly rates? I think that that's going to... There is no one blanket answer. I worked in a lot of different places and for me that was perfect because it helped me mold a better idea of where I needed to go. I'm really glad that I worked at Supercuts for two weeks because in that two weeks is when I actually learned speed. I'm really glad that I worked in super high-end. I'm really glad that I worked in mid-range because it just taught me what I wanted to be around and what I didn't want to be around. Yeah, I think it's good to do multiple things. It's kind of like when you're dating, when you're like 16. You don't want to marry that person right away. You want to date, like, you know... And as somebody who did... A good couple handfuls of people. Marry the high school sweetheart. You look at those people that did and it's like, you have no idea what else is out there. Exactly. So, yeah, just take your time. Play the field. But learn every aspect of the business. Let's do the other questions. It's 8. It's 8.01. Thank you, Justin. I have five clocks in front of me. I'm just letting you know. But thank you. You have number six right here. Thanks. So, let's do the other questions next week because there's so many. There's going to be so many again. But we really... We have a reservation, so... Oh, it's that kind of thing. I got to put sleeves back on. Yeah, you do have to put sleeves back on. But, so then, let's get the wheel up here. We have so many cool companies that have landed on the wheel now. Do you want to talk about them? Sure. Why don't you say their names? We have Russel up there. We have Russel, which is... Yeah, I drew a little bit of that. A set of Russel. A set of Russel, except for the paint because it's on backboard. Well, yeah. We have Amika with their a million piece kit. Are they still doing the five in one? I think... We'll just say Amika because they always send something cool, but I don't always know what it's going to be. We have Amika. Today we also have the Parker Safety Razors. Yes. This is a Tani $100 of shears. Nice. What else we've got up there? We have Ergo with the five piece brush kit. We have five months, or three months free of Miibo. Five months. It's a new one. Seven years. Miibo, five millennium. What else is up there, Matt? I can't see it because it's nothing. A volleyball box. A volleyball box. The Olaplex. We have a travel pack by Olaplex. Donald Scott. Thank you, Donald Scott, for following me and then reposting my haircut that made my day yesterday. There you go. Yeah. I actually have a photo shoot or a video shoot with Donald Scott in New York coming up in like three weeks. You want to handle that? Anybody can come. I'm going to come. It's on a Monday. I'm going to come. We're going to be hanging out at a salon in New York filming videos for FSC, which would be really fun. I will be there. Yeah. And then Minerva Beauty. Did you say them? I didn't say Minerva Beauty. Minerva Beauty is a fantastic product. Minerva Beauty is our favorite because they seriously sent us so much furniture, and I love them. And I keep seeing all these people hashtagging that they got their furniture at Minerva, and it makes my heart happy because I know that they got quality stuff first off because there's some really crappy furniture companies, and I just really love, you know, Minerva and all those people. So, all right, Dre, did you stand up to spin? Well, we've got people saying, Brian, can we please have a close-up of Dre's color? So it was like pulling teeth, getting her to get up. Okay. Go stick your head in the camera. Can't get any closer than that. Whoa, extreme close-up. That's it. I watched Wayne's World the other day. Wayne's World, Wayne's World. And I loved it because I love this room right now. Okay. Can we get a couch? Ready? Ready? Shwing. Who's it gonna be? Wait, we don't know. Did we pick somebody? We didn't even pick anyone.
