Make sure you hit that subscribe button, like the show, comment, please. We did get some more comments last week. I actually wanted to read those button. I forgot to put them on there, but a couple of people. Somebody said, have you heard the Lady Gaga song, Hair? Yeah, it's tattooed on my arm. Wait, and I was like, oh, did you put out a new song? And then I, so I went and listened to it. And then I realized it came out in like, 2015. We saw her perform it in concert, Matt. I know, we all were there. Am I anywhere? Really? You're never in the moment. We talked about this last night. You're never in the moment. I know it. Are you the body double? I'm like, multiplicity that movie. Are you the real Megan? No, you're not. No, are you the real Kate Middleton? Yeah. We found her. Could be. Yeah, man, I want to be, I got to be better at that. Anyways. Yeah, it's literally tattooed on my arm. That's funny. Okay. I never knew that's what that was. What'd you think I'm as free as my hair meant? I mean, your last name's Hair, and I don't know, all right. You know what? I didn't really think about it too much. All right, fair. All right, so follow us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. We got a great show today. Excited to just kind of have some open discussions. So make sure you get involved in the chat and in the comments. Really today, we want to start off with a fun game. And the game is going to be, if you get five tools to use in your day. So like let's say today, you can only take five things into the salon to do all your clients. What would those five things be? I made my list. Do you want it? Yeah, that's fine. Well, I would take my swivel scissors that I got from you. Okay. My long YS part comb, I don't remember the number, but I just prefer, I'm more comfortable with the long comb clips because I have tried over the course of my career and I am not a good hairdresser without clips. Okay. The dumb, dumb hair, bore bristle brush in small because I can get anybody's hair done with that. Okay. And my air wrap. And I can knock out everybody in the look great. Okay, but what if they want color? Sucks, not today. I need five things. You know, I was thinking about the five things and I was like, so... So one of them's the color bar, like... Well, the color bar, yeah, no. But I was thinking like, if you had to simplify the five things into actually having color that you could get by for the day, because like I understand and I'm not a colorist, so this is why this is so easy for me. But I could just definitely have Balayaj Lightner. Okay. And just talk everyone into highlights for that day. Like orange highlights? Yeah, orange ones. Yeah, who needs to tell me? Actually, if they wanted brighter ones, I'd just leave it on longer. And then if they wanted... Balayaj Lightner? If they wanted some red tones, then I just wouldn't leave it on as long. Matt, I suggest I have a couple of videos on YouTube about how to get nice bright highlights with Balayaj. Oh, great. Yeah, I'll watch this. It's not always just leaving it on longer. But wait, there's hair tutorials on YouTube? Yeah, it's on. Apparently not. Okay. Do you want to give your list? Yeah. Okay. I would say an extra long, rat tail comb. Wait, how long? Like the ones that I have. Like they're like really long. Like I don't like the short ones. I can't. Oh, all right. I know what you mean. Yeah, I use long ones too, I guess. Yeah. Because the short ones just look weird to me. Yeah. And they don't fit the foil. Yeah, and they don't pick up the hair. Like it just takes too long. Just for scratching itches. Yes. A foiling board. Cause I... I noticed we have a foiling board now. That's mine. And I was like, she worked somewhere else. That's what happened. I tried using it. I look very silly. I tried using it once too, cause I had one that somebody gave me. And I actually didn't mind it, but no one got into it at all. Yeah, I don't, like I'm trying to get it. It's just one of those things that it's like, oh, I don't have a ton of time. What do you like about it? So I will say the one that I got, I don't like the curve. I, when I worked at the other place, it was just flat. So it was really easy to just fold the foils onto that and just kind of like, you could fold all of your foils onto it and then fold them like, and it just was quicker. So you put a bunch of foils at once. Yeah. And I also like that. I don't know. I just feel like I have more control with it. I can really get like into, like in. I do like the, the nice even plane for pressure. Like when you do it, it's like, yeah, I can get in there. Dig through that. Oh yeah. Yeah, that's, yeah. Yeah, I love that. Okay. All right. So foiling board. Foiling board, foiling comb, long one. I suggest, I was going to say, I suggest you throw foils in there. Foils. Otherwise. Um, some kind of like conditioning treatment and toners. Okay. Yeah. Cause you're just going to be foiling toner. Yeah. All right. So then let me take the conditioning treatment and add some liner. You know what I miss? Talking about foils. She'll just chew off the rest of it. Yeah, that's fine. That's where I'll come in. Cause I'm only cutting there. Yeah, you guys can be a team for once. There you go. Perfect. There you go. No, talking about foils. I miss the, that roll that we had that went with the cart that you could clip like how long you wanted the foil. That was so convenient. The Minerva cart. Yeah. We should get more of that again. The roll foil. We can. Everyone said they didn't use it. I did. That's why we don't have anymore. I have such a hard time with the box. I don't know. I think I'm just. The boxes suck. I waste so much foil with those boxes. They suck. They do suck. I know. They gather a bunch of them. Yeah. Okay, good. That makes you feel better. Yeah. I usually take a lot of foils out. So we officially don't like box foils. Yeah. I mean, we need them because they're usually a great size. But they suck. The box sucks. Yeah, I like the roll foil too. I throw two extra foils on the ground just pulling the one out that I need. And then I gotta always turn the box every single one. No, it's a waste. It gets stuck. It is a waste. My client's like, no, you can use the one on the floor. I was like, no. State board. You're like, I can't. I can't. It touches the floor. It's dead. I'm paying for this. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Fair. Reduce for you to recycle. I'm teasing. Don't come at us. All right, so. They were just here the other day. Stateboard. I know. Well, a couple of weeks ago. Yeah. She's super cool. You didn't see them? No. You were the only thing we got to write up about. Shut up. He picked up the foil off the floor. Yeah, that's what it was. No, everything was fine. It's so funny. They walk in. I feel like they walk in here. I didn't see them. You guys saw them, but they walk in here and I feel like they're just like, they don't really say much, right? I mean, or did they? No, she was cool. She was like. Yeah, they seem cooler than back in the day. See you in a couple of years. And that was like, okay, but you were just here. They were here. Yeah. It was odd. They always say that. And then I think they don't keep their job and then somebody else takes over and then they come back. And then it's always somebody different. All right. And then I guess my five tools, I would, for me, it's, I guess, a little bit easier because I would just pick haircutting stuff. But I was, I like a precision scissor texturizing a small comb, like the 339 or the 701, like that small comb. And then a blow dryer and a brush. So that's pretty much easy for me and not a round brush. I would, like a vent brush. Okay. I get so impatient. I'm, I try to get into a vent brush and I start so many blowouts with it. And like two minutes in, like, forget it. I'll just use my hand. Are you like a scraper? Like, like you are constantly brushing because I don't really brush a lot. I let the air kind of go over the hair and I kind of just, I'm letting the air do most of the work and like the brush. Yeah, Matt's not trying to come home sore. Well, I do a lot more long hair than Matt does too. Like I'm like using it to hold back or direction and all that. I'm like, my hand can do better. He does do a lot more hair in the salon. Like you're a lot more. Yeah. Which means like lengthwise. But lengthwise. Oh yeah, but like a lot more too. Yeah. No, like Matt's in like the back room with his mannequins, with medium length hair all day. His girls. Who don't mind getting burned by a vent brush? They don't. They don't. She's like round brush, please. Did anybody have any ones in the chat that they would bring? No. I should stop saying that because no one even talks in there. No, people are saying, hey, like hello. All right, that's good. Hi, sir. Okay. Sir. Well, we have all different country. You know what I mean? So like the... Yeah. Don't get Matt addicted to sir. Yeah, don't be expecting it. Sir. Yes. Yes, sir. How'd this turn on me? I never asked you guys. Because I saw that twinkle in your eye when she read that comment. That's twinkle. Twinkle. A lot of people comment, sir. Yes, sir. All right. So I'm interested. Do you have five? Like I know you don't work in Islam, but like is there five things that you would be like, I would take? I would take one of my favorite stylists. And... She'd bring five, five of her favorite stylists. Just unleash them. A load of cash. Probably a big Stanley mug of water. No, if I didn't do it, I don't work in the salon. So maybe if like I needed, you know, I need to do payroll, I need to ship out scissors. I know, but you do like hair. Bring the checkbook. No, I do. So I'm just, you know, I'm always fascinated by what your brain does. See, I've heard to that thinking, like that list, I was like, if I had to go somewhere outside of the salon to do hair, what would, and I had like a small bag, what would I put in it? Yeah, that's good. To make sure I can make everyone happy. Well, the bag is one thing, so... Nope. I'll wear cargo pants. Can you guys comment and let us know what your five things would be? I'd like to know. Today's episode is sponsored by Mevo.

A time in the salon when something wasn't going right. I got a doozy. How'd you overcome it? How did you overcome it? Is that weird to say that? No, I just can't wait to hear them. You know where that came, where that hit in my head? It's because of Sheed. When he's like, I had to overcome everything. I don't really mean like, overcome. I mean, like. Oh, no, if it's scary enough, you need to overcome it. All right, I can't wait to hear this. All right, go ahead. Mine was, Matt, you were there. It was like 10 years ago now. And I had this client at dinner here for a while and she was just always a blonde, like very light, pale blonde. And she comes in and she wants like, Nicole Kidman Copper. And I was like, perfect. I got the perfect formula for that. And so she had about, you know, normal amount of regrowth. So I put it her roots and then I had to do the ends. And I just forgot the really important step of dampening the ends before you pull a copper through. Because if you've ever seen copper hair color when it's processing, it is purple. And so when I washed her hair, it was about shoulder length, she had beautiful copper roots and purple hair. And she was cool. She's like, well, if this is what we were going for, I would love this. I'm like, but it's not. So we go back, I take her back into the shampoo bowl and I'm like freaking out. Like this is not a thing that needs to be happening. Like this woman is in her fifties, like she's not gonna, this can't be purple hair. And it just, I mean, I was trying everything. We were doing, you know, shampoo and bleach mixed. I was trying color remover and it just was like, not really working. I remember at one point I was able to get the purple to turn gray. And I think that was when I panicked the most because I came out and I was like, I can tone any color, but you can't tone gray. Like once you get gray, that's, you're screwed. Actually the perfect description of the color. You know when you hard boil an egg and you pop the yolk out, that color of the gray outside, that's what color her hair was. I was in a full panic. Egg should not be gray. No, just the yolk. Mm. So I remember I came out and I'm like sweating. We're in this for like two hours deep now. And I tell Matt and he's like, well, this gloss is what I use when you need to fix anything. And I tried it and thank God it worked. Like I had lifted her hair enough so that this one, it was a semi-permanent and it kind of leveled it out and got it back to what it was before I even started doing anything and she was okay. She was fine, but it really, I think overcoming it was just not giving up and just realizing like this has to be fixed. And collectively we have the knowledge to do this. Just don't panic and like, you know, do something that you can't come back from. Like, let's just make it dark. Like perseverance. I think that's like the thing with this industry and really it probably anything that you do, but we talked about this a couple of episodes ago, but like the confidence of just like, it will be okay. You just gotta go back to your knowledge. And it's something that we're also kind of in our personal life talking about like with, with Hayden and stuff, like just being, the more you know, the less scared you get about things and like, and how you can handle those situations or whatever. That was us talking about it because I told Hayden that the other morning. That's what I said. Oh, I thought you meant on the podcast, sorry. No, no, that's what you were saying to Hayden like with the other day. Yeah. Yeah. So it's just like, it really goes with everything in life, but like the more you learn and the more you consume with understanding what your, what your thing is, whether it's hair color or whatever it is, like. You're less nervous. Yeah. And you can handle those situations. So like somebody that's in school right now, maybe in beauty school or whatever and you feel like you're making those mistakes, it's actually a good thing because you're building up. Yeah. What to do the next time. The reason we knew what to do in that moment was because it had happened before. And, and maybe, and you had a mentor, somebody around you that had been through it and knew how to, you know, and then you learn and then now you can share that with, with other people. But that's a good one. I actually don't remember telling you the gloss thing. Oh yeah. 9RB. That was. 9RB. Yeah. Champagne. You're fix all. Yeah. I learned that from Colin. So that was at a hair show. It all rolls down. Yeah. Which is actually kind of a cool thing if you think about it. Cause if something just kind of took a little too much and you add something with like a very light peroxide, like a 7% or whatever. And it's just going to pull it. It's just going to open the cuticle just enough. To let what we didn't want slide out. Yeah. And that 9RB just kind of gives it that little bit of deposit too. Now mind you, she made a huge scene when she left. Cause I don't know if you remember that part. She was fine with the color, but I felt bad that she'd been there so long. So I did like a no product, no brush, just use my hands to blow it dry. And it was a little frizzy. Yeah. And then she made such a scene in the salon. Like. I kind of remember this. This was a long time ago. It was. You chased her out the front door because of the scene that she made to like try to calm her down. Like I could do a haircut for free. And she's like, I'm never coming. I was like, okay. Well, that was somehow a success. Guys. You learned a lot. Yeah. That's never happened again. Positive. Do you have one? I mean, I kind of do, but it's not like, I don't know. I feel like it's going to go against what you all just said about. That's okay though. Learning and knowledge and like all that. I just gave up. Sometimes you can't do immense hair again. Nope. Sometimes you just can't. You've got to know when to hold them and know when to fold them. Literally. Fold it real quick. Wait, so you, it was in a men's cut? Yeah. My grandfather was here. And we, he was at home and he just wanted a haircut. I was like, yeah, you know, been working on it. I think I was living here at the time. We were working on it. And I know that in the salon, it was taking me like almost two hours to do a men's cut with clippers. And so I started it. And I'm like at the back of his head and I'm like going up and I'm like, oh, I could go up a little more. I could go up a little more. There's a mistake right there. And his hairline started. Right here when I was done with them. So after that, I was like, yeah, I think that's it for me. I don't think I need to, you know. Do them ever again. No, that's okay. So, yeah. That's an okay lesson too. It was like your first probably ever. Yeah, you were so fresh into it. But I still like, I've worked on clipper work and I still just don't get it. Like it's hard for me to see. But it literally, like visually, it's hard for me to see. It's just doing it over and over and over again. Like it's, because I was the same way. Like I shied away. It terrified me. It was years before I was comfortable doing a short like clipper haircut. And then eventually it's like, you learn a little trick that works for you or cause there's no one size fits all with that kind of stuff. Like once you realize like, oh, when I get to this part of the head when I do this, it usually works out. Like it's, you just can't give up. Don't practice on me, but like you can't give up. I know I actually wanted to ask you to clean my hair up the other day. I'm proud about that story. I'm just kidding. And there goes the twinkle in that side. No, I would totally, I would totally like it. Matt, what's your horror story? I mean, I know one that doesn't have anything to do with hair. Yikes. That's a spilt of tea. I thought you just get, I know. The bath. Oh, that was bad. Nothing's good. Oh wait. Remember that time in the bathroom that you failed? No, remember the time the bride was crying in the bathroom and wouldn't come out. I never did a bride again after that. Just was like trying to feed her a bunch of Xanax. No. Oh God. There's so many. There's so many. No, there's not that many. Let me tell you one that I, where I messed up though. Oh, I forgot the picture. We'll bring that picture. That was a mess up, but we're gonna, I'm gonna keep it in the salon. That'd be the thumbnail of the episode. Yeah. I was assisting and I don't even know if Sam knows that this happened, but when I was assisting. You cut someone's ear off? No, I almost did that in beauty school, but this one, I was ironing his client's hair. I was finishing it and I was hitting it with a flat iron and I. 450 degrees. 100%. It was 450 degrees. And I had, you know that tool belt we would wear with all the scissors in it? Well, I left it on my station and I was setting my iron down in between getting the sections or whatever. And I set the iron on my tool belt, which had a vinyl belt. And the belt melted onto the iron and I grabbed the iron and I went into her hair and it smeared black plastic all the way down her hair. Like, and it just got hard right away. It was like. That's amazing. It sounds like a superhero movie. Thank God Sam was out smoking or doing something. Like he was not in the building and I was finishing his client. I was like. So that's a learning moment for him. Never to leave your assistants alone. Yeah. So I ironed it again and again. What? I was trying to melt it out. Oh. It was in the back. Wasn't it still on the iron? So no, it all went onto her hair. And so I kept ironing over it and it kept melting and like kind of getting further down. Your thought process is fascinating to me. Then I moved on because I didn't want her to notice that I was doing this. So I moved on to the rest and I kept going through and then I would come back to it. I just did it again. By the end, I finally kind of got it out. All right. Oh, OK. But it was, I mean, still kind of there too. But it. So that. Never again. Did I do that? You be dazzled her hair. That reminded me of one, Matt, that I don't know if I ever told you that I did because I was working for you. Similar kind of. I was doing a bridal party. And I was like the maid of honor. And like we with Paul Mitchell with all the chopsticks and everything we do, the chopsticks is real cool. So I was in my phase of like spraying the chopstick with hairspray and slicking the hair down to get flyaways. But I had been using this chopstick for a very long time. And so I spray and this girl was very blonde with her updo and it was done. Like I was just getting the finishing touches. I spray it. And as I wipe the chopstick around the side of her head, all the black plastic comes off the chopstick onto this now finished updo. And I'm in a hotel room. It's like we're here. We're like, oh, let me wash this. Thanks. There's no mirror really. Yeah. So she can't see my face as I realize this. So my reaction, like I tried to pick at it. It's not coming off. And I was like, so I think the flower should go over here that you want to put in your hair. I just covered it with the flower and sent them to the wedding. No idea how that turned out. This podcast episode is going to stop everyone from calling. But I listen to your podcast. I don't want to come in and get my hair done. There's no more people driving in two hours. Every profession. Yeah, so we're just willing to tell it. We are here then. Yes. All right, let's let's do trivia. The current score of our trivia is two Christina, one Brian, one me. Goose egg, Carly. Zero Carly. This is Carly's day. I hope my trivia question is going to be how many music. I'm into it. What did you say, Carly? I said when it finally gets to me and my trivia question, I'm going to say how many times did Carly change her hair colors and starting this podcast? Three, right? So, yeah, yeah, I went. Yep. Now I got to go back and watch it. I know that that was my point by the time you get to ask it could be more. Exactly. Never know. OK, so I was trying to find the question that I that's OK. Sorry, we're just grooving over. Yeah, no, I hope everyone at home is dancing, getting ready for their Friday or Monday whenever you're listening to this. I'll just do a different one. OK. OK, OK. We didn't know what the first one was, but. All right. Hit us. OK. It is possible that the mullet has been a part of life right from the beginning. One of the earliest known examples of the mullet can be found on which famous sculpture. Are you tired of the same old challenges with your shampoo, conditioner, face wash?

Go check out formulate.co slash Matt Beck. And we're back. Hey. And Brian thinks he knows. I would guess. Is it Michelangelo's David? Oh, all right. Nope. OK. Damn. All right, Carly. Billy Ray Cyrus. The sculpture of my own. Right there. This is how this is how bad I am. I'm like, I don't even know what these sculptures, the only one I know of are probably super racist people or Nick Coles. It is so you might have an advantage here. I thought you were going to say like Rocky. Oh, no. So the great Sphinx is thought to date back to somewhere between. Four thousand, five hundred and ten thousand years with the short. At the front and long at the back hairstyle, clearly visible. There's also evidence of the mullet in many ancient civilizations, such as the Vikings and Aztecs. Wow. I believe that. I mean, I need to look up a picture of the Sphinx. So because all I can picture is like a headpiece. Yeah. Yeah, I have to. I'll put up a picture of it when me. All right. So now what? In the final, but zero zeroes. So who asked the question? So Christina again, probably. So I get the point. No. Oh, OK. That would be good, though. That's not a bad rule to put in, but not this time. But next time, you can stomp everyone. I'm already winning. If you stomp the group, you get the point. And then that way, people that ask the question can also get a point. Because I'm winning. So we're going to come up with that rule and it's going to happen next week, but I get to answer. I get to ask a question again, but I don't get the. I don't get the point this week. And I stumped you all. I feel now. Hey, that's fine. I'll give you all like a head start. I was going to say I give you like a little. I know how competitive Christina is. Yeah. So next week, it is going to be the most impossible question. How many hairs are on my head right now? Or it'll be maybe, maybe I'll just go with one that I think Carly might know. What's Carly's middle name? Should we make the question? Oh, everyone knows. Multiple choice. Well, if you want, but then whatever, I'm not scared. Carly Louise, I'm scared. I like, I feel like I'm never going to know any of them. Louise, Louise, Carly Louise. I mean, it's got a really, it sounds like it's got a mullet. Carly Ray, did anybody in the chat get that? Because she's a ray of sunshine. No, but they I don't, they weren't answering, you know, what Carly George, nothing. They're just saying hello, love it. Are they talking to each other? Like they're talking about what we're talking about. Oh, OK, cool. All right, love that. Dyson, back in the news. Oh, yeah. Do we throw that up? Yeah, let me click on the article. Here is the. Oh, geez. There we go. Here's the look at their new blow dryer, which looks like the old blow dryer, but it has a different backing to it. They say it's a little bit smaller. And they're really leaning into this blue and orange. And I think it just makes it look cheap. I'm having a hard time with the blue and orange, too. And then it's teal and the other one is teal and some. But some of their colors look good, but this blue and orange combo just makes it look like a toy that is not worth seven hundred dollars. I was so it's five hundred dollars, right? Yeah, but the the other one, the professional one, the other one's five seventy five or something. Right. I don't know. OK, you're just talking right out of the one. I'm talking about tax, Matt. Like about seven hundred bucks, wasn't it? The air. Yeah, yeah. The air wrap is close to that. I'm not buying mine in Delaware. Don't you remember we love to use Dyson, but we love to talk shit about it. Don't you remember this about Dyson? That's all things in life. Never ever going to sponsor us ever because but we do talk about them a lot. And honestly, no, we don't talk shit. I'm not. Yeah, we're not. Yeah, we love this. Please let us be a name. That's a joke. Sarcastic. So the I kind of went all over at first. I saw this. I was like excited because I was like, I like this blow dryer better than the pro looking one. In my opinion, I don't that little. It looks like a candy cane and I just want. I like a little bit beefier blow dryer and I like the LED backing of this. Then I started reading about it and I was like, I don't know if I want my blow dryer telling me I get it for a consumer like as it gets closer to the scalp, it has a safety thing and it calms the heat down or whatever. But I don't know if that's actually what I want. Well, that's what I'm making it for us. But right, I think they're starting to lean into like they're diverging their stuff for us and stuff for consumers. Yes, like, you know, the old question of my clients asking, is the blow dryer worth it? I mean, for me, yeah, I don't know. But now it's making it something. Yeah, because I completely agree. Like it calming the air flow would just piss me off all day because I do what I do the way I do it and just let me do it. But I can see that being really good for people at home that maybe you're not expert blow dryers at protecting their hair. And one of the best features about this to me personally is when you set it down and shuts off. That's cool. When you pick it up, it turns back on like that for anybody doing hair at home or like I like to as a professional, if you're blow drying, I love that this is like my blow dry form. But if you're blow drying and then you want to let the or let the brown brush cool down, you take out the section, you want to roll it up, put a clip in it. I got to put my blow dryer somewhere and I hate just putting it down. I don't hate it. It's that's obnoxious. But like, you know what I mean? Like I if I could just set it down and it shuts off and then pick it back up and we're back to work. It's super efficient. And why doesn't the I don't think the pro one does that? No, but that would be awesome if it did. And I don't know. So like if I can turn off the smart system of the or it's not that big of a deal, the scalp thing, I might actually go with this one as opposed to the pro one because I like that feature of being able to set my blow dryer down. So let's do that. I'll go pro. You go that one. OK, deal. I'll do the candy cane. I'll put it in my pocket. So this comes out sections. It doesn't look like a candy cane. It looks like the dentist's tool, the little suction dentist's tool. That's every time I see that. Yeah. Yeah. It sounds like it probably too. What are we talking about? What it looks like. The other are. Yeah, the other one. The pro one we were talking about. It's right here. This one. His hands kind of blocking the curve, but it just it's just a tube. It just curves around like that. But you're right. It looks like the dentist thing. And it probably sounds exactly like that. So nice. So, yeah, that's I don't know which one of you guys feeling like you're yet, if any, if none, like what are your guys's thoughts in the chat? I want to know what. Yeah, five sixty nine, Brian. People is the pro. OK. And four ninety nine is this one. So and it comes out in May. Have they said when the problem comes out yet? I'm on the list for the notification, but I'm not seeing that. But maybe they've announced it somewhere. I haven't seen that yet. But I can't wait. That was so weird in my ears. All right. That's what she said. All right, it's time to go.
