So I want to talk about your career I've seen you sent me your bio. So You've been in the industry for six years, right? Yes about so so tell me where did you get started because I know that You're connected with people that I know as well So let's kind of lead up to that. So so I started my career at a salon in Center City called Giovanni and Pelleggi Oh nice, okay And I met the owner when I was working retail and we just kind of hit it off and I went and worked for him and When they relocated I moved to Jason Matthews salon, which was just relocating themselves and expanding Okay, and it was from that that I teamed up and sort of working with Sebastian educating with Sebastian And through that with Wella and that's kind of where a lot of my relationships stem from okay So well on Sebastian very cool. So have you lived how long have you been in Philadelphia? I've been in Philadelphia seven and a half years. Oh, okay. Yeah, and where were you before that? Doylestown in Doylestown. Yeah, so where'd you go to school CB East CB East and then where did you go to hair school? Evita Evita Jean Madeleine. Oh nice. Okay. All right. So and that's how you kind of connected to salons in Philadelphia Yeah, did you always want to work in Philadelphia? Um so I lived in Philadelphia first and I've always had like a passion for hair and It was when I met Giovanni. I was actually just working retail. I was working at diesel clothing store and We just kind of started talking It's out there. I think Brian has diesel shoes still from like 20 years. Shut up. I do Shoes for myself nice and Yeah, I just took he had a credit card that said salon owner or something like that I can't remember and I said, oh you're in a salon and he was like, yeah, I do and I just said I've always been in the hair up cut hair for a long time not professionally It's my friend's hair growing up mainly clippering and stuff like that, right and he was like mainly jacking it up Right exactly and he just said why don't you go to hair school and I mean I thought about it It wasn't that simple and it kind of decided at that point in my life that I thought it'd be a good idea to do that Okay, so so that was six seven years ago seven years ago. Yeah, okay And then you so that was so Jean Madeline. How was that school because I've heard is it still open? Yes It is right. Yeah, everyone in Philly pretty much goes there. That's what I thought. Yeah It's a pretty popular school. So so tell me about the experience there. Oh, Jean Madeline was it was a cool school I mean, I think it was I Wanted to be in and out as fast as possible, right because at the time I was kind of assisting here and there at that salon. So I mean it was school. It was yeah, it was hair school, right? Yeah, everything Not to sound negative, but I mean you kind of learn everything outside of hair school. Yeah, this each other past the boards Right, so it was good. I mean no complaints. There was some really cool teachers there Okay, and they were teamed up with uh I did a lot of research coming in they were teamed up with Frederick for Kai at the time I don't know if they still are and I offered to work for a for Kai salon And then it was two more years with them of schooling and you know, I would have had to move to New York And then when I moved to New York, right? So I pretty much just ended up going there came right out assisted at the salon I got to assist Giovanni the owner learned a ton from him and then uh from you know when they moved it was kind of really when my career I guess I don't know. I'm not gonna say took off but we're not a lot more opportunities in my way. Yeah, right. Yeah, okay cool. And you were named Philadelphia magazine top stylist, right? So you got top men stylist and you were named top stylist for Philly's best hairstylist.com that that's a website. I didn't even know Yeah, okay. All right, cool. So uh, so tell me how did you get that and what was the what was the deal with that? Um, social media. I can't say it enough. I mean social media has really helped me out a lot Yeah, I mean it linked me up with you guys. Honestly, I've always I've known who you were. I've heard of you but you know, just put my work out there and I don't know. I'm super critical. So I'd Hashtag stuff like that. So I guess with Philly magazine Uh, they'd came to our salon to and we're asking interview questions. I mean, I didn't really know what was gonna be for that Okay, and then they just kind of posted an article saying that it was like the top men's cutter That's awesome. Yeah. So that was cool. And then Philly's best, uh Again, I don't know just I guess see my work right and did you feel like that? Uh drove you more business. I don't know what the clientele's like in Philadelphia, but yeah, I think at any time like, uh I think if you get your name one of the magazines, it's definitely big down there. They're a part of their magazines. Okay. So yeah, I mean, I think it definitely helped and uh Yeah, I mean then from the next level, uh, really just I guess being with Sebastian has helped me a lot too Yeah, and are you still with them? I am you are so tell me about tell me about that What are you doing with them now? So I'm educating with them So I'm in the salon four to five days a week at this point. I'm working like seven days a week. So I'm in uh I'm usually four four days a week. I actually taught a class today. That's where I was coming from. Oh nice And what's teach? Uh today we did haircuts Some razor cutting. Oh nice. Yeah, that's okay. Yeah, and It's my favorite cutting class to teach. Yeah, razor. So, you know, see I go back and forth I get really texture razor happy and then I get very like Sasuni Yeah, that's that guy. Yeah, same But I like doing it all so Teaching with them, you know, we're teach color with Wella product knowledge Haircuts we have dying techniques with the razor scissors So yeah, just educating with them teaching with them and just working with some top artists Yeah, so let's talk about so you so the connection that we have is kiyoshi from Mizutani So and you brought some pretty cool scissors with you. Do you have them with you? Okay So are they ones we don't have here? Yeah, like you guys first off. We have to be very careful and not drop them Okay, so you and brian can't touch them. Do you remember the scissor? I was just talking about before he got here Yes, he has it Oh I saw him Yes, I have the dual texture. So that's cool Well, no, they are Right. So are you guys having so specifically? What did you order here? What is what do you have? All right? So those are the the mascus db 20 Um And kiyoshi actually offered them to me. He said I have a really cool scissor. I think you're like, yeah, no, you like black Yeah, I was like, I do like black. That means kiyoshi totally ripped me off No, so this is awesome. So you said that they were from the factory He kind of has held on to them and he offered to the man and I it was an offer. I couldn't refuse Yeah, you can't refuse because that's like that's like a ridiculously nice. Thank you for telling me to park on the side I'll see you guys It's it's actually the nicest one of the nicest scissors And and the cool thing about that metal is that's not a design put into the metal That is actually the design that the metal creates So no two are the same. Yeah. So so it's so cool Um, and it's such a good cheer to the db 20s are perfect for everything. I mean, that's a $2,500 scissor So yeah, oh, I know Drake, I mean I sell them banks. I sell them. So come on lean over. Yeah, but it's really cool So you said that the scissor has a pretty good grip on the hair, right? It has a great grip actually to the point that sometimes it pulls not that it's snagging the hair But it's they're super responsive and honestly, I wish you could just maybe use them It's really like nothing you've ever felt right. I mean my my probably go to would be the uh, if I'm doing like power work. I love my Use the type k right? Yeah. Well type k is more precision. I have the fives and the five and a half I don't know why okay. Yeah, okay. Take these from me for stealing Um Yeah, you can just feel like every year Yeah, that's awesome. And I I love that feeling some people Could go both ways with it, you know But I love I love when it feels like it's tugging a little bit on the hair because you know, it's not slipping at all Yeah, well, I sell you post a picture of my favorite ones the The praying mantis is what I always call them. What the hell's the name of those the type z? Yeah, right? Do you use that one? Z2. Yeah, so that's the differences. I mean those are They're just a different feeling. Yeah, those are my go to I do a lot of mens work also right So those are perfect for that perfect scissor over comb And I do a lot of dry cutting so much power in so much power and really they're I mean you guys you know you talk about scissors. They're they're just powerful from the tip of the belly all the way through I mean, I did like I like For myself kind of doing videos so I can see And that one that I posted uh, you can just literally see it's just like a perfect even cut Oh, yeah, that's the one that we reposted right and you were doing scissor over comb. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. That was a really cool video Yeah, I like that. So um, all right. So we our connection is uh, kiyoshi through Mizutani. That was scissor add right there So through Mizutani and you met Mizutani through steven moody, right? Yes, so let's talk about that So steven moody is up huge in the industry. So let's talk about how your connection That was all through Sebastian or uh, yeah So steven moody is like the global education dean of well at this point, right? He was creative director of sassoon for a long time for those that don't know who he is and uh, I met him at we are salon had an event about a year and a half ago and he came in uh, and It was just uh, it was a like a kind of prefacing his holistic cut and color course that he does Which I've also taken it's a three day course and it's just really hands on with with him and uh at the time It was another stylist Diego raveleon who's also a top stylist as well And you just kind of go through uh finishing and cutting in color So I kind of just hit it off with steven and I mean, I'm a huge fan of his um, and at the time He really got me back into late precision. Okay, because I feel like that's really my my true passion. Nice, you know, yeah, and He I love the shears. I was he I asked if I could borrow his shears. I was in the Uh, I was trying to shop around for new pair. He let me borrow his now if you know him. He's a sa sooner. So he uses five inch Very small. I think he uses the uh, it's not the beak, but they're like the retro or something Yeah, a lot of those guys use the retro. Yeah, and uh, I love them and he put me in contact with kiyoshi And I'll never forget the first time I called kiyoshi. I I mean we literally geeked out for like two hours He loves it. That's that's how we started too. It was like He will talk about scissors for ever forever and I will too. So yeah, that's the guy That's why you want to buy scissors from that. It really is That's why I be you know started my relationship with them because if you can seriously I learned so much in one hour from him that I did not know Now that we figured out our audio we got to get him back on the show because that was the day we asked him So many great questions. Yeah, and like his mic just did not work. That was one of those days Remember I said where we figure things out by messing up. We were all so fascinated. We're like, I promise guys He's saying really cool stuff. Just Sorry, right so, uh, all right, so we so um Through steven moody and then so what's going on now? What's your next uh, your next step? Um right now I have a lot of stuff lined up. So I'm Okay, so I know so just a bunch of that's a bad response. That's good. Yeah Yeah, that's a good thing.

She's one of the new stylists that have there Well, whoever did her hair did a banging job um The next thing I'm gonna I'm gonna chat about um speak millennium posted the same photo that everybody's been seeing from groupon Of this 999 man bun clip in extension That's amazing. Um, I saved something for you for that today. Justin I actually have the funniest one. I've seen so everybody's posting stuff about it Um, the gentleman I talked about a couple weeks ago. Carl Reeves Um, he's buying one for his junk. He's gonna have a junk man bun. His wife will apparently love that American American he's gonna exactly. He's gonna have a merkin bun. That's funny So I read a thing today like not only is this hilarious But the actual write-up for the advertisement for it is even funnier than the fact it exists Can you read it for us? Is it serious? It is well When you read the description, I don't think so so the description I'll read it real fast The description is the clip on man bun has arrived in the special group on deal and its description is as hilarious as the product It's selling one of the hottest trends in men's fashion The man bun has been popularized by fixed gear bicyclists and introspective Hollywood actors alike But although the hairstyle oozes with fashion sense those who sport it might find themselves Outcasts in sports bars Motorcycle gangs and the annual government mandated machismo test The attachable and yet equally important detachable man bun Let's you blend in with your surroundings putting it on when you smell fair trade coffee or hero banjo and taking it off When someone utters the word bro Thank you so much that made it even better. Yeah, that's hilarious But the thing is it's funny is this guy has long enough hair to have a man bun. So like Yeah, it's not it's not as beautiful as I'm telling you right now if you get what i'm wearing it I think we should put one on fad like hot glue it to a scalp. It's gonna look great I said to christina over and over i'm like hit the button just buy the thing just buy it I want it. It was featured on six abc news this afternoon It was no i'm not kidding you that was a serious thing. It was on six abc news Yeah, that's a disgrace this country's going to hell. That's where i draw the line All right, what else we got just um Some customer service news today um We I picked the pair of clippers up at less than a year ago and we've talked about them ton on the show It's the wall cordless designers. They're my favorite. Um, I just get you use them the they're my favorite for pure laziness Yeah, because no other reason. Um, I love them for you can do anything with them. You can do kids hair You can do long hair with them. Just you know, hold them over the head The battery finally ran out on them and it took a while for that battery. Yeah, I used them a lot Um, so we go to plug it in it plugged in for like three days four days I want to use it to aid it broke it so I call wall I looked at the bottom of the uh Where the cord plugs into the piece that goes on the wall like the copper wire shown through Walls just like oh, all right. Give us your address. You'll have it in a week. That's awesome. Like what? No, okay. Can we have your receipt number? Right? Yeah, no No, be ashes. Okay. We'll have it in a week. They're like this happens all the time. Yeah It's just coming here it comes um Well, it was a charger you were asking for it's not like you're like the entire clipper broke But still though, it's it's you you it's sad that we get that excited over a good customer service these days. I know So I say, thanks wall. Can you believe they would return it? Thanks wall for not sucking that was so actually exchange the thing That's great. All right Another really cool article I saw was this gentleman james williams That you want to pull up one or two of these photos. Oh, this was so sweet Um, I saw this actually early in the early or late in last week. I really want to talk about it. Um A little boy came in and he's uh Doesn't sit very well for haircuts. He's autistic Um, and the parents have been trying to get him to get a haircut for so long Um, and this gentleman james thought well, how can I get this kid to get a haircut? So at this point he kind of just made the kid feel comfortable Where otherwise he would sit him in the chair and he would freak out He wouldn't be able to focus on anything or any one thing So he let him kind of hang out laying on the floor and he just laid with him and cut him at his own leisure While he was laying on the floor and this was awesome viral And it is one of the best things to see on facebook Yeah, because here you see everybody hating on a stupid red cup or acting like the politicians being negative at everything Yeah, and you may see this one glimmering ray of light of a decent human being doing some really nice for somebody Yeah, so james congratulations james williams. Look at that. Awesome. 3,900 likes on that thing. That's insane 5,400 like wow. Yeah, so that was really cool to see that Very cool.

Yeah, everything's just everything works very well That's not my mom's haircut right now I want to know the only thing I want to know that little piece that looks like that's coming from her temple Is that tucked behind her ear? How long is that? Because it looks pretty flat to her head to just be tucked under that piece of hair. Yeah, it looks tucked It looks tucked. It looks good though. Looks like the underneath has tucked a bit, but he um I I just love that like rustle takes these pictures too and he I know he's been playing with photography a lot And it it just looks really cool. You know, I was gonna say that's what I was gonna say Is instagraming the photos Brian's favorite makeup What you love colorful makeup Yeah, I guess you every time somebody is, huh? Is that been a thing? Like I just noticed that every time somebody has colorful makeup. You like it I don't know I think it makes her cooler. That was so romantic. It does her eye Makeup looks like the old airbrush t-shirts that you get at spring break Palm trees in the sunset like the silhouettes of the people walk. It does it does I think the hyper color shirt. Good job, Russell. That's beautiful. Uh, the next one is Barbara Justin. Okay Why do you like this one? I don't know uh I like this one because it's uh Really tight skin taper, but it did some different where it has it's very heavy But it's very heavy and very clean where you usually see guys You kind of blend in and just keep going up with the clippers a little bit till the top Where they kind of get like the high and tight line a lot of people can't grasp the The concept of doing a heavy blend to a tight fade. Um, I think it's cool that it's heavy and so well. What do you think about it? What do you think Josh? Yeah, um, yeah, I mean that is a really good blend. I agree Definitely is I think a lot. I think A lot of people Try that but you can see a line. Yeah, I mean it's inevitable You're gonna see some kind of a line, but that's a line on purpose Yeah, I think it looks really good It's nice styling too. Yeah, yeah the styling it was on point. So congratulations, Justin You have a great name and you do great work and his logo is awesome I was just gonna say that too his logo isn't overbearing and it's in the photo to the point where if a company wanted to use it They couldn't crop it out that easily But I won't say anything. Do you guys ever talk about that? I hate the big like logo on the face of the picture Yeah, yeah, we actually we talk about that quite often. I like I go but now it's looking like you have to do that Or else big companies are gonna cut it out. I know this is what they do They zoom into it like this and they take the hair and then they post it and they're like, oh look at my great photo Someone else who does beautiful work behind the chair That we talk about all the time. Whoops. We're gonna talk about a gentleman. Mr. Masters James. I said it come at me I like this. Yeah, uh, I'm picking James James work. We're uh, James Masters Sorry, I was on the wrong photo, but this is cool to masters The colors that we went over this. Well, he's got you have to you do a two pictures. Yeah, either of the two Okay, yeah, so either the rows of the same image or his original, you know his page I'm gonna bring his up for the fact that he does these beautiful works But at the same time he keeps it consistent where you don't have to focus. He doesn't do like four images per Instagram post, you know, I'm saying where people do these beautiful haircuts, but There's four or five images of the haircut where you can't focus on one. He does three rows of each Yeah, and it's just the work he does is beautiful Yeah, he he has a Phenomenal instagram and also if you look at that if you go to the the part that shows kind of his profile or whatever Um, how organized it is. So it's very simple. It says exactly who he is where he is and then um That all of his work is his own. That's cool. And then he shows he just lays it all out for you. Very simple Yeah Very cool. And the last thing I want to talk about I I found this on my on my hunts for hair Um blessed cuts underscore fab He does these really cool things where he takes several photos of a haircut that he's doing and actually does Instructional cuts on his instagram. Yeah, which I haven't seen that yet I've seen people show like a before and after I've like go to this link to find out how I did it But he does the breakdown of what guards he's using what clippers he's doing Um, and I think it's really cool that you know, you can see the progression in six simple steps Yeah, and it's not too overbearing. It's not too much as images in the middle of the whole picture So nobody can steal it You know, it's really cool. Um great food Yeah, it's a great feed and it takes that takes a lot of work to create that it does And it takes a lot of patience to stop Where he was because a lot of you probably took as long as the haircut The Yeah, the time it takes to do steps. Let's say two to three. He's doing several guards in between that so he's stopping On purpose just to show you rather than taking his time to you know, get through the cut Yeah, it's probably took him an extra 20 minutes longer just to make it as pristine as it looks and think about how you uh throughout your salon day when you're really busy you're just Destroying the around the guy's head, right? So you have to really think about this is how how Structurally men's cutting is done. It's you work your way around, right? Am I looking at you? I'm like, what the hell are you doing that's destroying people? Well, no, maybe maybe he's referring to all the comments of that I get on your haircut where I destroyed your head. No, I'm saying I watch People cut hair in salons and I've seen it for a long time how they fly through with a clipper If you don't stop looking all over the place I'm gonna tape it secretly I'm just kidding. I'm not even saying it's you No, you actually are it's on camera that you're looking at me. I'm looking at you because you're the only one It's uncomfortable to look this way, but I'm looking at you because I'm having a conversation with you. All right, but um So don't get self-conscious about this. My men's cuts are banging. I'm good. Yeah, but I'm not talking about you Anyway All right, so anyways, but that's that's cool to see the structure. Yeah, so and you guys out there I mean, I wish I hope he watches this because I'm going to tag him on the video Like I would love to see him enter the contest Yeah Because the way if he put that much work into an instagram post like I would love to see what kind of tutorial video He could enter to the contest we have going on. Yeah video would be even easier. What's going on with that? By the way, so the video the video contest so fse tube tv um is our video Uh posting channel. It's like a youtube for hairstylist, right? So you go on there you sign up It's free and you can post your videos Anytime you want to so it's just embedding a youtube link So put your video first on youtube or vimeo and then go to fse tube Just copy the link paste it and put it up there. I mean We have Hundreds of people visiting that site watching videos every day. We just hit 10 000 views Uh total on That website and only like a month and a half. So, uh, you can get exposure through that website But we also have a contest where we're giving out a thousand dollars cash to Uh, the winner. Um, just somebody that we're going to randomly pick who submits a video. So um So you have until december 31st to submit a video on there And can I just ask one last question since before you forget cheers? Oh, we had a several questions asked earlier Where can people in the united kingdom? Do you have uh any? Direct scissors. Yeah for mizotanis because I know there's also just like australia mizotani. Yeah for instagram But i've never seen like uk mizotani is worldwide the challenge is with fse Um and mizotani in the united states. We're only allowed to sell in the united states in canada Um, so that's where you can get them through us, but there are you can find mizotani online You go to their main website on the internet and you can figure out who the distributor is for mizotani scissors So if you're having issues with that, i'm sorry Sometimes it's harder to get a hold of people in different countries, but um, they are available worldwide. It's not just through us So but we are only allowed to ship because of territory things I do have things that we're working for towards in the future Where we will hopefully be developing our own fsc scissors through mizotani And those will be able to be sold worldwide because they're one of a kind So, um, are they gonna be swivels? No, but uh, so we are uh, we are working on that. So, uh, hopefully that'll be soon. Um Anything else nope. Hey, thanks for your attention tonight. That's the freaking news. Good job everybody. Sweet. All right. Let's get into drea's trending tresses All right, drea. All right, so our first one is uh, I'm gonna let the music play You're gonna let the music play. Okay. Is um, Miranda Lambert She showcased at the cma's last week some beautiful pink hair Which I thought was awesome She did she's like Living it up now pink hair. Don't care. Yeah So, um, everyone should be she's getting wild some people are suggesting that it is a um chalk No, they're suggesting that it's a dig at the codes one two three four on that thing. Just so you know That is a dig towards uh, guinstaffani, but I think it's actually a dig towards starbucks. She was red First time sad speaks on the show There you go, sad. That's good Get in there bra But I think it was just unfortunate timing for the cma's but the red really didn't hold up. Oh my god, stop That you gotta let it go sometimes. It was really funny He's looking at the last week my putin bun. I like that. It's just the ends but around her face It just comes up a little bit and I thought that was nice. Yeah, so that's my My opinion on Miranda Lambert's hair. Okay, then we have uh, Naya Rivera who has been traditionally really really dark And she's showcased a much shorter style And what does she do? She was on glee. She's not dressed. She was a hot one with dark hair Um, okay, but she has these fun balayage pieces and some of them are really light Yeah, see I always I saw pictures of her before she was on glee when she worked at hooters And this was pretty much the color she had going on and I was really happy that they made her dark for glee Because it just looks better with her I'm not loving this now. She's going back to hooters, but I love her. Yeah glee is over two years time again I'd like to point out that I got both of them, right? So far That it was two. Hey, they don't know that yet Let's go find a hooters that we talked about the pink hair at that and then the blonde and then the other one They didn't know that there was only two So drea, I'm just remembering that I didn't put up the other you didn't put up the other one. Okay Oh, what was it? It was um, it's from uh, the victoria secret fashion show Uh, beach waivers Is one of the sponsors this year for the behind the scenes work So I thought this was fun because we actually uh saw and talked to them at the new york hair show last year They were very nice and uh, they were nice. They have they were These uh special beach waivers for um, they were nice to us for the models But so that was fun, but we don't have the image of that. We'll get that so it'll be up, uh somewhere somewhere Look them up. Yeah Figure it out. Check out beach waivers on instagram. Sure. So yeah, you'll be able to see that in december all that beautiful hair All right, and that's it for trending dresses. That's that good job, bro What we need to do now is answer some questions. Let's get some questions. Okay So Oh that I wasn't talking yet. Now you're gonna get in trouble with that for not keeping the music. I was gonna let him go Hey, I'm following what matt told me to do that. You did a great job on my video music today. I'm proud of you Crank it up dad. We gotta we need to uh, yeah, okay, let's go in. Yeah. Yeah All right, that's enough Uh, all right first things first Yeah, I was gonna say it, but I was gonna let it go. I'm glad you did that Thanks, um He's watching the show. So I'm glad that he is so we can say andre spinola big-time follower of ours today. It's his birthday Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. This is my mom's birthday. I should probably say My dukes and so andre andre and my mom have the same birthday. Nice same day Same age today. I don't know if it's the same age. Are they twins? I'm not revealing my mother's age. That's We've been there done that. Yeah All right, so happy birthday andre happy birthday mom And happy birthday mama b. Yeah, uh, all right. So off of the questions today Let's see The first one. What's your favorite method to introduce a new service to a guest? I always answer someone else want to jump on that I was gonna say I just get really excited about it and tell them Hey, this is what we're doing right now. I'm super excited about this. You should be excited about this Let's do it to you today. This is jay's haircut for the day. Yeah, don't worry about your bill Don't worry about it. You will be getting nine services today. Yeah, I'm not. I love every single one of them You're getting 11 things No, but if you uh, show a lot of excitement towards something I feel like Your gas gets really excited about it and then they want it and then it's obviously that they're gonna get it Good call. Yeah. No, I've witnessed that she talked about anything. All right Josh, what do you think? I agree I think if you're uh, in the I think people Can kind of read you a lot and I think if you're legit into something and passionate about it I think your clients are all about it too Okay, that's why all the fads clients buy jeeps now Yeah, yeah, that's why all my clients are getting haircuts with clippers Shaped side of one girl's hair the last week. It's happening. You did to try. Yeah Not even ever said nice. Hey, you want a haircut? You move towards what you think about guys. Hey, good job Uh, all right, what are your clients getting brian apple watches? Yeah Everyone's getting balayage. So they're getting nothing. Men are getting balayage in my chair now All right when brian ends up with like 18 pairs of apple watches is because he's been like subconsciously telling his clients that he needs an apple watch Because subconsciously is totally how I work That's like saying I'm passive aggressive All right, um Let's see jerry. This is a good one for you actually talking about nine services per guest Uh, how do you charge for color corrections? I had the color correction from hell a few weeks ago black thick course long colored at home for years And feel like I didn't charge enough to make it worth my time let alone product I spent more than six hours with her How do you best communicate that this is no easy process and it will take time and money? Honestly, yeah start with that. I mean it's it's definitely You know, there's no such thing as I I tell them for starters. I'm I'm not giving you any promises on what you're leaving with today I'm going to take you as far as I can with the time allotted with you know the budget that we discussed But I'm not going to tell you I promise you'll leave with your hair looking like this today and You know under promise over deliver and then charge them for 95 different services at Dreyas cost I think your salon definitely has to have a You have a system in place right a breakdown of you know What you're going to do, you know if you offer a certain type of color remover Have an understanding among the salon how you know do you use the whole box and then charge for this You know if you go to the sink and do you know shampoo cap What do you charge for that and then just make sure that before you move forward with any Like I've done it in the past where you just make sure step by step by step They know I think we should do this again. I had someone you guys Tiffany Years ago You know she we had a certain amount that she was willing to spend and I did you know the the color remover on her as many times as She was willing to pay for and I said well then this is what you get for today Like if you want to pay for me to do this three times then you get three times worth of this removal I think communication is key as far as the color correction goes If they you need to make sure that they do have whether or not they have a budget as to whether you can blow through Obviously, you can't blow through that budget because then you're gonna Not make a great impression on them Right. You may not be able to pay it Exactly. You don't want to sit bend six hours on them and give them this bill and then be like, oh Sorry, I'm not paying that But um Yeah, communication is key on that one I also want to put it out there right now to anyone who's watching live If you want to ask josh questions Um Get them in the chat Uh, because we're gonna be summing this up in a minute So if we want to get a few questions for josh at the end as well specific, um, that would be cool Yeah, he's like, uh, I have to go to the bathroom. You never know what's gonna happen. I said mac could ask me questions Somebody has asked I have a question. What is your salon called? Gratitude Gratitude salon education. No We're gratitude salon in new hope pennsylvania. By the way, everybody thinks i'm you on the phone Really? Yeah, yeah all the time. I'm like Every time justin answers the phone. I hear you know, gratitude salon education How can I help you and then the next thing is no, this is justin Well, I think it's because I said who the hell does everyone think you are I think it's because I used to say this is justin But I just kind of stopped because you don't you know, I'm like, okay So I guess they just think that you never say your name. Yeah, so just think I don't want you want to know It's me when I answer the phone. Wait, so this is like just like that episode of sponge bob Where uh, patrick starves working for the, uh crusty crab and then everybody calls it. Is this the crusty crab and patrick just goes No, this is patrick Everybody's calling off saying hey, is this the one gratuity? No, this is justin But no, see I just pretend not to be me. Yeah, no, I love when you talk to the third person No, she cannot can we just please but like is there like an emoji for a facepalm after that little story Yeah, so, uh, josh one question real quick, dude, um I like to to get a feel for how people when you first walked in this building because it's a tight space Yeah, right. So, uh, what were you expecting when you showed up? What did you think it was going to be like? Um, I didn't know that you did it in the salon and driving up actually I was Honestly, I was pretty impressed because I you're building glows There was like a light radiating We're all gonna have cancer. It really does. Yeah, it was very easy to find but, uh, it's it looks just like it does on the on, uh On youtube. Okay. Yeah. All right. I think I think you guys have a you really utilize the space well And I'm loving the blow dryers in the ceiling. Well, I mean, yeah, so we have, uh, Yeah, like like I've always said 900 square feet and I think a lot of people even on youtube videos recently People are like, wow, you can really tell how small the place is, but it's like we have Used every corner and then some of the place and like you can even see like those are the photography backdrops That's how we above your head. Yeah. So that drops down and that's how we shoot We shoot the videos right here with the white backdrop. So, um, we should be on that show with like the tight spaces show Are they sure you had a tiny? Yeah, that's us. Yeah, tiny salon. Yeah, nice. Yeah. No looks awesome Yeah, hopefully we're getting more space soon, but the uh, but definitely we've utilized it for sure Neighbors moved out. Let's take their space. I know right? Oh upstairs. They did well not them Over above fudge cakes today. That's what I'm saying. Yeah today. They did really upstairs. Oh, well Kristen Myers has a question for josh have do you have any people stepping on my territory? You had your segment you've done new segments This might sound crazy, but is anybody moving in over there? Sorry, Kristen. Do you know? Your question is nothing. I asked Justin if you wanted to he said no Uh, Kristen Myers who is her child's birthday today? Josh do you have any tips for taking pictures of your work on instagram? I do I'm a big fan of consistency. So for me, I like a solid weight background I think a lot of times You get distracted by the picture And if you're just trying to show hair then just focus on the hair. So my tip would be lighting I um, I take all my pictures with an iphone um But I'm not going to say don't don't get like an slr or a great camera But just be consistent with your photos and make sure your lighting's right Do you do it near like a window or I do it on a so solid white background A solid white wall and no not a window because the way our salon's set up where the light comes in the background would be the salon Okay, and it's it looks cool, but it's a lot going on. So I think you there's lights. There's products resistant that so we have a A white wall that just has a lot of light I almost if you were just to pull this white drop down and blow it out with light Okay, and that's just what I shoot on my foot is on so I think consistent and just focus on just the hair Okay, that's awesome. Yeah Good deal. Yes um All right to piggyback off of that somebody asked a question What are some tricks to getting clients to interact with them on social media? Feels weird to tell them to like or post or share something So I try to avoid telling them to do that, but I'm also hoping they will I don't know you used to have a thing. I think we did a thing for a hot second Yeah, I I think you flip the whole situation like you don't you can't ever wait for a client or Anyone you're trying to be in business with to do something for you Like so if you want to get the client involved on social media, you need to start tagging them and everything And then from that they're going to get excited and come back at it So, you know how we will tag like I'll take one of Josh's photos because I really like it and I'll repost it on our stuff If we start posting pictures of our clients get start following them and posting and tagging them in it Then they may share it from that So that's a better Angle anyways because if they're just posting it, they're not going to tag it right and bring it back to your business You want your business to Um be tied to them. Does that make sense? So so try not to wait for anybody to post your stuff and and to communicate You should go on there and then also look in your town And and start commenting as a salon like wow, I really like your hair On somebody else's friend like one of your friends friends pages, you know That's not weird if like Dre is my client and I go on her thing and I see one of her friends and she just got her hair done or something and I start commenting Um saying wow, I really like your hair that starts a relationship with somebody, you know, so The the the whole game of the internet and social media is long term It's not like You most people think they're going to make a post and that post is going to get them like a bunch of followers or whatever It's just planting a seed that is later on going to be effective for them You know, so if you start a relationship with somebody start building that start communicating on on your clients Social media their friends are going to see it and then be like wow that hair just really is involved with them Now I want to be you know go into that salon because I'd like that experience as well, you know, that's my thing My microphone just pulled out of beard hair That hurts Anybody else? Yeah, no, then one day somebody'll just start liking your photos from like 97 weeks prior and you're you get restraining orders Yeah, yeah, exactly All right That's it. That's it. I'm done. All right. So we have to pick someone And I think so josh is going to spin the wheel Okay, uh, we may have to take in the back way To do this that get the tranq guns. We can make you all just an attack above the table Um, so but we got to pick someone Uh, yeah, I got one that can we get some tunes for the uh a rando good question susan dot salon nostra Okay Okay, cool. Is she in america? Can you check her page? She is cool Sweet we love everyone in the world. Just some of these companies won't send outside of the united states Um, all right. So on the wheel, how are we gonna get let's get um, I don't know I don't know. Do you want to know get up and no you need to spin it? No, it's it's a once in a lifetime that we get to watch Drey and not spin it is like It's been one other time. I feel like i'm willing to howward stern spinning the wheel of sex right now That's right. It could if we might have the same wheel guy.
