another nighttime edition of the show so we'll watch the sunset on us from behind hopefully that will be making sure that the cameras stay lit up and looking good all right so let's let's get into this Millennium Systems International the experience means that just got back from Florida last night and I was I'm so psyched because it's seriously the best event for hairdressers and you don't understand why until you're there because we're so used to going to huge hair shows that are overwhelmed with people and it was just it's an intimate event there's a thousand people there but they're all focused on bettering themselves as stylists and it's it's the only event and I've said this before where you go to the pool in the mid-afternoon and you don't see a hairdresser there like they're actually all in class which is pretty impressive yeah so you're in beautiful Florida we had they had Robert Croming's there they had we had Candy Shaw who's this unbelievable Balayage expert which we're gonna talk about her product in a little bit you watched her DVD a little bit so Charles Marcus was fun to hang out with we got an interview with him have you seen Charles Marcus speak before he speaks in a lot of the I think so I think I did a couple years ago okay yeah he's like this this cool guy he's got an English accent and he's just like he just knows so much about the industry and he's just fun to listen to he's got lots of stories so we did an interview with him coming up in a few weeks you'll hear that as well and then but yeah Fab what was your favorite part about the weekend pool being empty no I'm just kidding that kept actually asking me last year he wanted to go to the pool like every five minutes he was actually I have to say that this weekend was the biggest help I've ever had because he was right by my side the entire weekend ready to film I mean we we did a lot we actually I mean I was only hired to do two hours of work there and I think we probably put in at least 20 absolutely hands down I would have to I don't know if I could pick a favorite part because I you know what I'd probably say getting the interviews yeah on main stage as well as out back by the beach like those it was like absolutely amazing like it was so surreal like yeah cameras and using the the jib well so yeah so the story is we get to the hotel room right and it was almost like it was meant to be because I show up in the hotel and Millennium just puts us in this beautiful hotel room it's a one bedroom suite so which is great so me and that don't have to sleep together you know which is nice so I walk in there and it's got a kitchen table that's just this big beautiful round table so the first thing I do that's not even there yet he didn't get there till later that night is I start setting up the mics just like this and I and I got the cameras set up and I was like alright whenever we're at a party and let's say Martino's with me and I'm like you know what let's go to the room we've had a couple drinks let's go have some fun talk about hair right so I wanted to do that and then the night before the party I said to that I'm like why don't we ask Millennium if we can do interviews from the big main stage they don't use it all day so why not you know talk to all these artists they have all these artists here that are like world-class hairdressers let's sit down with them on the main stage have the Millennium logo in the background the lights the everything and I so I asked them at the party and they were like are you kidding yes of course so we get down there the next day you asked them after a couple drinks and then I only ask anything after a couple I have to get a little comfortable like making sure that they had a couple drinks so that way they oh yeah yeah yeah we didn't go to the party till later so they were they were willing to say yes to whatever but so we got to the two main stage after a general session and we start setting up in the AV guys come down they're like you know what what we're gonna help you set up your cameras so they put it that our camera on like this big they called a jib it's like this moving tripod right so he shows that how to zoom it in like as the show starts so we it that's like running the jib he's got we got all these different I can't wait to see that footage because I know how that is with a new toy I just immediately go back to the sound effects board right so the whole interviews probably like so I right away got nervous about this right because I know too so I said to that I'm like just make sure like zoom it up and leave it there because what happens is I mean these cameras don't autofocus so right you can't zoom it up comment at our faces like who knows what what ended up happening but that loves it I think we need to get a jib I'm trying to figure out where it would fit in the salon but I think it'd be better off doing like an overhead jib yeah yeah we'll put the track up there despite what you guys both thought I was actually planning on just like doing like what we did because I was terrified that I was gonna end up breaking it or breaking the camera because I'm like yeah it's expensive and I'm like like very spontaneous like I just want to get it to like the spot where it's gonna like just like hang out and stay there yeah so anyway so you guys don't care that much about filming but it was really fun the show is really cool I was editing our interview with Candy Shaw last night she's gonna be our special guest on the show today she came up with the Bali box all these Balayaj products three weeks ago we were just saying nobody has cool Balayaj products right well guess what they do now they do so and of course the experience would have already found that person right so she was there she was teaching Balayaj classes and there was everybody was talking about how great her classes were so I wanted to connect with her and we sat down she's such a nice person and she just has fun she talks we talk about French haircutting on the on the interview we talk about all kinds of different stuff so and also her father I think she said 57 years he's been cutting hair and he's still doing it like four days a month or something so so Brian is gonna play with this because he's our Balayaj guy he's gonna he's gonna have some fun with it we're gonna create videos with it I've been talking to Candy I'm hoping sometime we'll have this on the shop but make sure you know at the end of the interview you'll hear where to get it but I believe it's at what the check if there's got to be a website on there so yeah I'm sure but on the interview we say the prize wheel yeah and click below there's a link so if you want to purchase it this is only a $99 kit but we'll we'll talk about it we'll unbox it man that was the the show price I think it's 119 119 okay well it's worth every every dollar so all right um do you want to get into this let's do this special note thing first okay okay well you want me to read it yeah all right I like when you read things can you put on your announcer voice though please I don't have an announcer voice this is it this is the only one I have well there's that in my Matt Beck Cartman voice okay well we don't have to do that we'll skip that all right thanks I'm epic all right special note says hi Matt Beck and company have been studying your videos slash education since March 1st have been in the business 25 years and have struggled behind the chair not knowing what I was missing something a couple weeks ago I was sitting with a mannequin head instead of my knitting hobby and it hit me the breakthrough head shape and not elevating as it rounds has changed everything and it came to me in that moment have been cleaning up all my haircuts have had a steady increase of clients and my income has risen and felt confident enough to raise my prices recently I finally feel that my skill slash confidence is matching the years behind the chair and I'm just getting started thank you for such a great tool Vicki Taylor so this I got this message from Vicki Taylor I don't remember if it was through I think it was through an email and it was actually yes it was from an email that was sent to her back in like March or something and so when I read this this is just it's just the icing on the cake of everything that we do I mean this is that moment when it finally clicks for you and you really understand what you're doing and that's what we keep pushing for everyone out there to just keep following the videos one of the videos will finally click for you and you'll have that moment where you just and it just keeps happening I mean I every time I'm sitting down with somebody I mean I sat down with Robert Cromings and I was taught we were talking about something about the wash house and how he came up with that and it was like you know little things you just learn little things and they click with you as you go and and the way people think the way people do haircutting just everything so it's really cool that she's found this as a tool that works and you know I just love getting these messages because it it's very gratifying to know that what we're doing is helping people now so I want to say I I am with her because that's one of the more recent Eureka's I've had yeah the haircutting is thinking about I don't remember what whether I was watching you film something or if it was when I went back and just randomly watch something but it the same thing just looking at elevation from where the hair is coming from and right just where you're holding it yeah because everybody explains haircutting from exactly where you're holding the hair out from the head but not thinking of the curvature and how it's how it's moving away so just thinking about it that way I think it's awesome that that finally clicked for her it was something that I under I got to understand shape from a class that I took but I finds yawning I'm good good to move on I'm just kidding so we had so I understood that and then all of a sudden as I started thinking about it more and more then I then I realized that well if I'm always holding the hair let's say I create this line here but if I'm holding the hair at all these different points the head is is moved so as the head curves and I'm holding the hair in this line that line is a ton of different angles through it I have this haircut that I'm gonna I'm gonna put out I want to see Kelly Osborne just cut a mohawk in her hair yeah she did she shaved her head but I want to create a really cool one from an inspiration I had from a palmachal VHS tape that I watched a long time ago but then also from the head shape thought process so I got this really cool haircut I'm planning on putting putting on video and it's gonna be a haircut that takes more time to set up than to actually cut it probably take a couple minutes to cut it but it'll take probably 10 minutes to set it up so it's gonna be cool anyways I thought about it today it's exciting mm-hmm all right so did you want to recap the experience anymore I think we already got that I jumped I jumped hey tell you roll I just want to say I was telling that earlier my favorite hashtag from the weekend was speak TME which I knew was the millennium experience but every time I saw it I kept reading it as speak to me and I was like why it probably took like three or four times of seeing it before I realized I was like oh them all right yeah the millennium experience yeah so I never thought about that though it was probably speak to me completely accident but it reads well they had at the experience this is one thing that we didn't recap they had this what was called livecube I believe yeah livecube was the company that they used but it was this website and they based it on a conference so everything at the conference was interactive so basically you log in with your Twitter account and everybody the more you share the more you tweet the more you put things out there the more you repost things and and all that the more points you get and then at the end of the conference everybody was getting points and they got prizes for points so the the leader and it would show it during the conference it was crazy like while they're on main stage in the background are these screens that are showing the stats and everybody's post so people are posting things during all everyone's talking and pictures so and dad they're Bob Mccony is John Harms basically they John Harms started the company and then very quickly after that Bob Mccony started he was like the big sales guy and I've done an interview with them in the past they had this game with him all weekend hashtag where's Bobby Mack and so he was just randomly being like photographed throughout the entire event without him knowing and people would hashtag it so he couldn't even relax all weekend or guy I know so badly for him because apparently somebody even got him in the bathroom right it was yeah it was probably totally be taken that far no no no I do have boundaries yeah so like you you cross the line everywhere yep yep yep you can't even you can't deny that all righty then so the look of shock on your face after he said that it was like you went through every emotion we'll move on you're welcome yeah all right so tools of the week tools of the way else is there this is it this is the most important one all right so it's funny Matt was talking to me about you know we he met this woman and he'd like never dropped a name which didn't really matter because I'm terrible at putting names with faces especially people that I haven't met and so he's talking about her and just how nice she was and how great she was and she got this really cool box and she got all this awesome stuff in it and in this box is a DVD and we pop it on and as soon as we pop it on I'm like oh I know who she is because I don't know I mean if I'm sure on one of these episodes I've told the story but the whole reason that I did that balayage video was because I wanted to know how to do it so I went on YouTube to try to find something myself and never really found a full how-to video right but I found this woman like everywhere when you looked it up like she was on all these different news channels and all this stuff just doing like segments for morning shows and what not showing what it is talking about it and so now I guess it makes sense that that's why she was out there promoting it but not doing the how-to videos right she's probably in the process of filming it for this well most companies are doing some sort of dvd and that's why I like having free salon education because it was something different it was right education that was accessible to hairdressers but there is a time and place for dvd education oh yeah and and it's cool when it comes with a product so you took this out you checked it out we're gonna unbox it on the interview but key things in this box so definitely you want to watch the interview oh you're gonna unbox it we unbox it with her so that would be silly because we already see it and unbox it with her so tell me that's why I want you to take it out earlier and look at it okay so just tell me because you're a color guy your thoughts on it and then they have to stay tuned and watch Candy Shaw because they'll get to see what's in it I'm looking forward to it especially after watching the dvd I saw it's honestly I even said to the Bolans while you were gone I was like I'm watching the dvd I was like I hope she doesn't like I hope she sees how old our video is so she doesn't think that I ripped her off right because our techniques are very similar like I realized they're very similar because we're both doing what we're doing from an aspect of understanding hair right and understanding color and understanding how it's gonna flow and all that stuff so it would lead you to understand that that's why they're just similar ideas but I love what she's got I love what she's using I have not tried the lightener yet I'm looking forward to seeing it because she was very specific about how to mix it and the consistency and it's funny she describes it the same way that I do but she said just toothpaste I always said wet toothpaste okay so you guys are like twins pretty much it's and the banks right I really do look quite similar I was telling that I think the one thing that excites me the most is I am completely clumsy and inept at saran wrap just ever I can't do it ever never been able to it takes me five feet of saran wrap to wrap a bagel like I just can't do it yeah and I was actually really excited when I opened her box and saw that not only does she have some in there but it's perforated so it's gonna it looks like something that I'll be able to tear just one-handed while I'm holding something else or doing something else because that was always my issue is like at what point do I have two free hands or the time to do that and it looks like you know she came up with a way to alleviate that problem so that is something I'm looking forward to yeah to giving a go and the so in the box there is the DVD which you started watching it did very clear and what I think is cool and our in our relationship with candy is now you guys have similar Balayage techniques which is great it speaks well to people so now you can try out her lightener we'll create videos with it we'll do Balayage videos and more ombre videos and all that stuff and the one thing that she says that you know I think we've talked about as well that Balayage is a technique and then ombre is a look so you know so she goes over all that in our interview and stuff so in the box the DVD the Saran wrap you get the the pal the palette and the brush clips I think lightener DVD Saran wrap yeah so for $119 it's awesome and then you after you have that all then you can buy everything individually so right you know so quality of the tools is there we have not used the lightener yet but we're excited and it's created only for Balayage and you'll hear why that is in our interview so let's go to feedback from last week after that we'll we'll go to her interview and then we'll come back with social media and beer pong free pong and all that stuff all right you know if we do this at night we could put beer in there we could but we're professionals yeah we are all right feedback from last week we'll start with Michael Taylor our buddy we were talking about new stylists the non-compete contracts all that stuff and he said my advice to all young stylists never ever sign a contract no matter how badly you may need a job the contract is presented to you walk away so on across the street from me is one in a small local chain the owner recruits straight from beauty school and has all employees sign a contract restricting them from working within a seven mile radius for one year after that stinks I mean that's that's totally taking advantage of new people I have to touch on this because we had both you just made the same face like nervous well no because I we I was the first one I ever worked at in Maryland had a sign of contract but the fact of the matter is one of the girls got a lawyer to look at it over before she signed it and you cannot physically prevent somebody from working so if it actually goes to court it would never hold up in a court of law well I've heard of yeses and knows yeah me too like one of my one of my yeses yeah they could get a job within a so many mile radius but they were agreeing to like a hundred dollars a day for every day within that first year that they worked there and it held up that yeah and you signed you signed an agreement saying it depends on how you sign the agreement I mean you look at if I write hey Thad I type up a letter real quick right here and then you sign it and then I sign it or I just put it away in a folder which is what happened to me when I first started working at a salon that's not gonna hold up I mean that's you versus me right so but if you get something notarized that says you will not work within a certain amount of a certain radius of the song it will hold up you may have to pay quite a bit of money but it will if it's notarized because that is a it's an official agreement I mean you can't agree to something and then have now I'm sure the wording has to be in there if you're gonna do a non-compete agreement you need to get a lawyer to write it you can't just be a salon owner sitting at a computer and I you cannot work seven miles from my salon that's not how it works so you can't Google non-compete agreement put your logo on it print it out and have somebody sign it right I would say it also probably has to do with the state because there's different state laws so what holds up in say like New Jersey might not hold up in Maryland or in Pennsylvania but I know that a lot of the times like you can't sign away certain things like negligence like that that's like one of the things you can't sign away your right to work like is it there's different clauses like you can't like go into the like if you quit you can't go into the computer or you can't take stuff from that business to your new job right if you came to work at a salon and you already knew how to cut a hair and you went to work at a different salon you brought that with you if you have client cards and you quit or get fired and you take those client cards and go work down the street that doesn't hold up so it's all circumstances all depend on state law yeah and everything is different I think basically what everyone seems to be in a great salon is just don't do it don't do it because it's no point in having somebody work for you that doesn't want to work for you right the so who cares I don't keep people if they don't want to be with you let them go with the clients and everything and and if everyone wants to leave you then you're doing something wrong that's it that's the fact that who cares about the paper put it in the paper shredder and get rid of it start taking care of your staff so they don't all want to leave you if it's just one person it doesn't affect your business I mean I I've let people go that were my number one person because they didn't want the same they didn't have the same business ideas that I had and it just you know sometimes it doesn't work out and you're not gonna please everyone I don't want people working for me that don't want to work for me so thank you Michael Taylor he's a salon owner I think it's cool that he says to never do it but whether it holds up in court or not doesn't matter there you go let's see Morgan Johnson really loves the idea of I love Monday's shirt so there's another vote for the I love Mondays I know I got to make this before any other company makes it yeah I actually made sure that I put in a phone call today so you guys know though the I love Monday shirt is coming hopefully within the next two weeks so Morgan Johnson keep an eye out yeah you can wear it when you work on Mondays with your boss that's with the rest that comment was may you should probably just put it up on the site so that you have it works on Mondays yeah she said she loves Mondays even though because she works on her she works and it's just her and her boss and it's super peaceful and quiet oh that's cool yeah see that's that's the awesome thing about hairdressers is even if they work it's still a good day like we get to do something that we love doing that's why we I never feel like I'm coming to work whether I'm you know I'm excited for every day of my life like I'm excited to have days off really great thing to be able to say right yeah I'm excited to have days off of my family I love it more than anything and then I get to come to work and I actually love being at work how excited were you to see me after so many days of not being able to I know yeah I was so excited to come back I actually I I was really excited after I spoke with Candy Shaw I was really excited to bring this back to you I knew you would really like this I know you can everybody in our salon now is very like everyone loves balayage now so I was excited to bring this back and and share it with everyone all right let's see real quick Anthony Barnhill says a really funny story because we were talking about I liked it this week we have the pictures of them on here I know good job like I can see Morgan's face Anthony I can see your mustache yes we were talking about falling asleep last week yeah falling asleep right same this week I'm good Brian took Nike well last night to go to sleep he's like Lil Wayne I'm like him in many ways really the night well it's just the icing on the cake okay all right cool Anthony tells the story to a woman that just left the dentist and came in for a color she was fine until he started to blow dryer and her eyes rolled back into the back of her head and I thought she was going to throw up so I grabbed a trash can and she slumped back into the chair and passed out I thought she was dead I shook her a little on her shoulders and said her name and someone was about to call 911 and boom she wakes up and says oops sorry about that perfectly back to normal that's fantastic I love it I love it like some of it those are like those experiences that first off you never forget them but they're just like because you're in the service business it's just all of a sudden you're like oh my god I cannot believe that just happened but then it's like and you just go and it's how was your day today thought a woman died but she didn't that's why I love Mondays that's a good thing all right Britt Von Strange also would love and I love Monday's shirt because it is so much better to go out on Sunday or Monday yes Kimberly Benak Benek thank you for showing the blow dryers also Matt thank you for educating me about the shears I never knew that wherever the blade gets fattest is where the power in the blade is also the difference of the dry cut blade is awesome one more question how the heck do any of the viewers get that once in a lifetime chance to spin the wheel I'm jealous and BTW I sat through the entire show it's Kimberly spinning the wheel who'd we pick did we pick someone don't say it yet yeah it's not Kimberly how did you pick them how did I pick them yeah at random at random can we pick Kimberly sure I may make it an executive decision right now she did sit through the entire episode yeah yeah can we pick her yeah we can still do for the other thing we'll do the other thing yeah for a free pong but yeah let's have Kimberly do it there you go Kimberly squeaky wheel gets the oil that's how you get to spend the wheel for the record though how do you like how would you get your name put into the running for the other for spinning the wheel exactly so a post on Facebook yeah so I post on Facebook every week and I say who wants to spend the free wheel and you like it or share it or comment about it okay so I would want to check into Facebook earlier in the week to keep an eye on yeah and a lot of people post it and and actually people probably post this on Facebook the same kind of wording but I'm just feeling like Kimberly needs this that is cute and so if we do this on Wednesdays now that post will probably go up Tuesdays Mondays or Tuesdays usually at 24 hours before is my truck might so it could be Tuesday or Thursday or whatever day we just better be just check out Facebook set up so you get notifications when follow us on Facebook at free salon education all one word check our Facebook once every hour yes yes there's lots of things and Michelle there's what there's always things happening on I think you said there was a possum outside there's no what well I would be willing to bet that there is a possum outside somewhere lots of them good call thank you okay wait so wait you skip Michelle but I do want to say because she said ps you guys should make black tank tops for girls to wear in the salon we have I made black tank tops for you guys they have a pink logo on them and I got to pick them up probably tomorrow I'm guessing and hats I got trucker hats wait can I just say that I think it's funny you made tank tops but tank tops are against your own dress code in your salon you can put a sweater over top of it yeah but I didn't I didn't make them for here yeah he didn't make guys ones I made them so everyone else could break the rules for themselves nice so that's so Michelle that's coming as well she's got another see who shows up for an interview with that on all right where we at let's see so that's good I think for feedback from last week right well actually I think that was it okay okay yeah business tips now okay all right and we don't have business tips this week because we're going to go to Candy Shaw and I feel like that's probably you know good so check out this is the interview with Candy Shaw at the experience you're going to watch that jib it up and uh we will be right back but you're going to learn all about the Bali box and and candy and everything and I hope you guys enjoy this so check it out hey guys this is Matt Beck from freesaloneducation.com here with Candy Shaw we had a little bit of a sound issue but we're good we're here and I'm excited to talk to you we're at the millennium experience in Fort Lauderdale Florida in this huge room with this huge stage thank you millennium for letting us use this and I want to talk to Candy Shaw about the Bali box right which I'm very excited about because I actually just said on our podcast two probably two weeks ago that no one does anything for Bali there's no tools there's nothing oh my goodness I had no idea and then you found me. So I'm very excited to chat with you about this product so but what I want to do is first off just talk about how you uh what you're passionate about in the industry and then we'll go from there so tell me what your big thing is what when you get up in the morning what excites you about the hair industry oh gosh what excites me about the hair industry is simply waking up and knowing that there's a student out there that wants direction and to me he who trains best wins you know and I've always just felt like the philosophy my father is a 55 year hairdresser and everything I've ever known is about learning and teaching and I just don't think if you're not paying it forward in this industry you're really ever going to be be fulfilled right so I'm so excited about what you're doing Matt this is just really new to me too yeah and I'm thrilled to be here thanks for having me it's funny trying to explain I'm sure you know this with the having your product and you've just been in the industry for a long time explaining to people when you're trying to do something different um like a podcast in the middle of a stage in a random place the great thing about millennium is they get it but just getting people to understand something's different or that you just want to give two hairdressers something so and you said that your father is still doing hair to this day yeah he's behind the chair four days a month that's crazy and it's really crazy I he's like a rock star to me he's a competition hairdresser back in the day he was one of the first Americans to win the competition hair which is so cool about hairdressing back then it was like those competitions were true probably unsponsored driven just totally passionate people doing their craft that's cool so you got your inspiration from him obviously yes I never went to beauty school actually in Georgia you don't have to go to beauty school you can actually apprentice okay and I spent a lot of time in Europe and I was very inspired by french hairdressing and french cutting and french balayage and so I opened an academy and I just began this journey of giving back and paying it forward and it's been really fulfilling and amazing that's awesome so tell me about a question I asked you earlier about what french hair cutting is and coloring what it's it's definitely different from your sort of pivot point approach right in the sense that we cut everything on top of the hand we don't cut anything palm to palm okay so french cutting is you build like a shingle on a roof so the layers start from the top and work down okay perfectly and it's I would say more commercial if you would really put it in a category but it's not real architectural looking in the sense that it's just you know following the shape of a woman's head her bone structure her lifestyle and putting all those things together I like that the perfect french hair cut so like let's say you were going to start on the top of the head and you're working through when you work into let's say a graduated shape then so you it's just shifting your hand but you're still cutting on top of your hand correct so the body position is really different and how you actually move around like I would have to put my feet on the ceiling well no it not I need to learn but it's it's very interesting and how you do it if you think about like a protractor that has the pencil that goes around or the compass that goes around right you sort of travel around the head the whole time you're cutting okay start on the right finish on the left or left-handed yeah you go the opposite direction but basically you learn to layer hair with the shape of the head okay it's it's it's it's very cool and it's efficient yeah and I that's what I love about hair cutting in general and we're going to talk about color obviously but what I love about just hair cutting in general there's so many different avenues ways to get to the end result you know so it's cool I've never heard of any way that does french hair cutting well it was kind of created in France by a legend who's passed away named Bruno Patini okay and of course if you go to Paris and you see Jacques de Sange or Jean-Louis de Ville or Alexandre Dupari they're they're all French hairdressers and they're you know in America a lot of that sort of came to life with Margaret Percaille and you know people in the industry that sort of brought that soft layering to life right and so what I did as a student is I've just became the perpetual student that realized I needed to Americanize the French way because you can't understand the accents you know so nonetheless I took it and just felt like a way of training for my salon was a wonderful way because in Georgia you don't have to go to beauty school and I never went to beauty school so I had to learn by just simply watching right okay all right so let's get into balayage so tell me about that why are you so passionate about what what what is balayage to you and why are you so passionate about it well the word balayage means sweep right and so for me it was about painting in hair and I really loved how you could paint energy to haircuts okay and you could actually customize that wording that's good you know I actually felt like I always say paint your way to financial freedom too because it's a lot faster yes but nonetheless to me it was about looking at a shape and finding the perfect design for the shape through color okay and so I've been painting here for 20 years and actually people have thought you know in the back of the day that I was had lost my mind right yeah that you were cheating or something yeah and and and why aren't you using foil I mean are you ridiculous what's wrong with you candy you know but but to me it was the freedom of being an artist and really knowing that I could put my mark on everything I did yeah I wasn't just following a pattern I was following a head shape and I was following the the the essence of a woman well to me foiling I foiling never made sense to me because nothing goes into a panel into your head so even a weave foil just doesn't the placement of it is not natural so being able to paint I get that there are situations where you need foil to incubate the color or whatever right but but it's just not natural so we do a lot of balayage of the salon but it's something that I think commercially is very popular at this point I mean we have people we've never had we never had people before requesting balayage now it's like every other phone call yes well it's you know I do have to identify one thing though just to your to your subscribers yeah in that you know a lot of people think balayage is ombre you know and I said wait a minute wait a minute you know ombre is a look right balayage is a technique exactly you really need to let your subscribers know that when people do call you know you have all the capabilities of doing everything with color that you could do with a foil with the balayage right but a lot quicker and more efficiently yeah and you know time is money and behind the chair people are you know there's only so many ways to get more revenue when you become a master stylist and right so balayage sort of allows you that purpose and I say though that the ombre is like the little black dress it's not going away right yeah you need to kind of wrap themselves around that yeah you can do different things with balayage to create different looks and to make it uniquely different right let's don't all pigeonhole balayage into only being on the ends of the hair exactly and I think that we had we had a video that we created we have a guy Brian who does some color videos with us and he he has a balayage video and then he has a balayage inspired ombre video or something but that people are watching it 700 000 views in I think eight months it's like amazing that because people are looking for it clients are looking for it right those are not hairdressers watching those are people I mean there's some of them hopefully most of them but um people want to see it they want to learn it so all right so talking about balayage let's get into this box because I've been waiting I said to you I don't even want to see what's in it until we're on here so I love that let's uh let's figure this out okay you know how to open it you know what's in it balayage artist yes so I made this as a niche simply because people read it right so I kind of think it's a little candy in the box it's a little classic box okay let's show this off right yeah so this is very exciting very quality done hashtag quality is our big thing so we only really bring on anything that has is a quality type product right so this is so we have all the things go through it okay so let me start with my very first favorite thing and I think any artist has to have the perfect paint brush yes what I love about the brush this is already got uh tail comb on it so you you can work quick the actual bristles are designed to be sort of long and firm so that you can brush with your stroke right a lot of times people try to balayage from the top of the brush and I like to paint from the side so you hold it like a pencil and I love the fact that it's very efficient and wonderful so that's the brush that's awesome that I use that I love and every great artist has to have a wonderful palette I love how it's thicker it's like a pencil it is like a pencil exactly so of course everybody needs clips to clip off the hair I always say four clips of paint your way to financial freedom there you go that's all you need but the artist palette you know to hold the paint on on to the reservoir on the palette so of course the brush and the palette are in harmony yeah and succession you know they always work together and I always paint from the outside of the of the paddle directly across and again this is a body position type of thing because a lot of times people think a palette is a foil board okay but it's not right you don't stick it up into the hair and paint down like you do on foil you paint side to side and the body moves like this okay very interesting and I like the palette because it's wide and you know most girls long hair yeah put lots of hair that was my big thing it was there was a I've seen maybe one other one that's a little bit wider than normal because normally they're like a stick yeah it's like trying to a balancing act trying to get the hair down just like the balance and beam and gymnastics exactly yeah so this um but let me see this because I love that it has a texture to it yeah um the other ones are just like a piece of just just a regular piece of plastic which is all it needs to be but I love that you've put these details into it well thank you and it really does um help you work more efficiently and cleaner yeah of course if you're doing highlights and lowlights you need two paddles and two brushes you know or if you're doing multicolor you have pinks purples whatever it is that you're painting in the hair you know you you obviously and can you get these separately like you can just order this if you want all right all right sunlight spaliage.com perfect all right so then my lightener and you'll have to excuse me for having to pull out and stress that's fine let's get there elbow issue today the guy uh last night at the carnival picked me up from the stilts and pulled my elbow out of socket but nonetheless um this is sunlight's professional balayage lightener okay that's a lightener I created it took a long time to put this together yeah and basically the vast difference in it because everybody wants to know it has Katelyn in it which is clay so clay makes balayage go on very smooth and creamy so it doesn't flake and become a snowstorm at the end of your balayage painting yeah and this has the ability to lift six levels so that's incredible for people who don't use a heat source yeah you know we're so used to putting everything under the dryer this allows you to work quick and efficient and at the end of the day you don't always have to add heat okay what I love yeah most lighteners are silica base so it's it's different you know when you put something under the dryer and it's encapsulated in a foil it needs to react differently right so this is definitely not something to foil hair with it's only to paint hair with okay it's a different thing it's called sunlights because I love that it has mimic the sun yeah it's for that purpose and that's what I like I like the because it not everything is a one-size-fits-all kind of deal absolutely you know I equivocate it to like buying a set of golf clubs so you buy a set of golf clubs you go back to the store and you get your one hero club yeah you get your favorite your seven iron yes exactly or your picture wedge or whatever and so to me this is a hero product that goes in tandem with what you're currently using in your color line okay salon so it's not like oh I got to get rid of something I'm just adding a hero performing product right you can mix with your 40 volume cream of whatever color line oh you can use whatever developer I love that you're 20 30 40 so it doesn't you know if you're a well-o salon I'm a well-o salon or your own L'Oreal whatever it is that you use right in your current salon you could mix with sunlight that's very cool and you said it lifts six levels yes exactly obviously with 40 volume 30 volume it can go three to four and 22 to three and obviously we have the education the education I mean that's what which is the most important part of this box it is take a class home with you I mean you can take this to this could be really great for this can be really great for even the independent contractor that's out there that can't afford to bring in classes to where they are or the salon owner who just wants to show his staff or her staff you know something new and something different yeah so I always take everything back to the basics you know my daddy always taught me kiss keep it simple stupid yeah you know because sometimes we try to elaborate on too many things and really the truth is it's just a simple five tools that you need to be a Bali Ajah artist perfect so the the dvd shows you five ways to paint hair okay I have five different types of techniques that I use when painting hair and it also tells you how to mix it and how to do it okay and all that and then the final thing oh yeah what is that this is the wrap help pull it together and there's three different sizes of wrap this is a short size and it's all perforated okay so I just go to the bed bathroom beyond and get a paper towel holder okay and I put my perforated wrap on there and I just pull it to where I need it and I just it seamlessly comes off obviously short hair you use a shorter you can tear these longer and lay them longer and then we have medium and long that's so cool so you have everything you need and of course can order you know different things based on what type of hair you paint in your region obviously closer to the equator you have a lot more blonde hair and a lot longer hair and then you know when you travel up north there's a lot of darker hair and and sometimes a lot shorter hair it seems right so for me I give you all three sizes of perforated wrap so that you could do that perfect so anything else anything else in this box no nothing but nothing but an opportunity you have a there you go I love it so you have packed this full with everything that you need for balayage I love that and you guys know that I don't bring anything on here unless it's you know a quality product done exactly for hairdressers you know nothing else so I am absolutely buying one of these by the way and I will do a review coming up on our channel so um oh I'm sure Brian will I won't I'm not a I'm not a hair color but um anything else no I just want to say that um you know balayage did definitely kind of get a lot of people a bad wrap simply because people got frustrated yeah with it and so I just tried to simplify things and really teach people that you can do this and whatever you set your mind to obviously right you can do it and um I just hope that people will take a leap of faith because to me it is a revolution sort of like the the cap right back in the day is now gone and the foil you know eventually will also dissipate because people do realize that painting hair is is quick it's fun it's exciting and it's more natural right and this um so they can pick this up where well sunlightsbalayage.com okay is um the sunlight website okay uh Jameson Shaw uh hairdressers is my salon in Atlanta where I have my academy and I also teach classes also go on location and teach uh in people's uh salons or in a forum such as this okay you know for for people as well well I've heard great things about your classes at the

intro in price 99 dollars is well I will say that to me it's like buying the printer you know this is just the cartridge you're gonna need later but for you know at the show it's 99 it's normally 119 online online okay all right but like the brushes are four dollars the paddles are eight dollars it's a no-brainer I always say for a hundred dollars this has 34 applications in it okay that's if you charge a hundred dollars for a highlight that's a 34 hundred dollar return on your investment yeah exactly you know it's a no-brainer all right cool well thank you so much it was very nice talking to

Robert Cromings walks in and I don't remember if he what he which one he said but he comes walking in and he goes you're like the Casey Kasem of or it was either Casey Kasem of or Larry King and I don't think he said Larry you're like Larry King of hair somebody told you that you were like Casey Kasem though yeah I forget who that was maybe it might have been Robert I just different point I don't know but I was like whatever but it's just funny because I want to do that I think it would be really fun at hair shows to be able to do this kind of show I mean it's cool so I hope you guys enjoyed that hope you learned a lot about the Bali box and check it out online is there a website on this Brian anywhere to go to break again for another half second no yeah right all right so we're gonna go into questions from social media and then we'll quickly spin the spin the wheel there is what's the website it's www.sunlightsbalayage.com there you go I thought it was sunlight something but I wasn't sure so sunlightsbalayage.com pick up your kit $119 hopefully there's a spot you can tell them that you heard about it from splitting hairs yeah just to let her know that we're giving her some love there and all right let's do a couple questions from social media okay let's see oh well I like the first one how can we deal with metallic dye or box dye can we do highlights on them and change their color yeah you can it's going to be a lot slower moving it's going to be very difficult it's going to take a long time I definitely recommend more and more companies are coming out with professional grade color removers to try those I suggest trying trying everything you can to get rid of those colors before you immediately jump into lighteners because you know obviously lightener I like to use as my last resort just because it ruffs up the hair a little bit right once you got that metallic dye in there the good the thing that you really you want to focus on breaking the base which is another question that we have later but break that base of of the harsh metallic dyes and start slowly lifting them that had a client Susan right yeah that he had been working on he's been working on her for a year probably she's almost blonde now she had level one hair it took a year of consistent appointments probably a frequency of visitor 12 I would say every month she's in here right at the very beginning she's coming in like every three weeks yeah between doing the highlights as well as doing conditioning treatments yeah so she was constantly conditioning treatment working her hair is so healthy and she's got coarse like it could damage easy but he's done it slow in the right way he's got the frequency of visit so that's a successful client and and you're not ruining their hair so there's no sense in what that was actually the trouble when she first came in was before we even got started she had damaged hair so like right off the bat like we started off with conditioning treatment and then I believe we did the conditioning treatment and then did a quick blow dry and okay put the highlights in cool so yeah so that's that's the way that you want to do it you don't want to try to just go at it right away right I deal a lot with fashion colors at the salon this is Shelley Hall says some colors hold longer than others and some brands of colors are brighter than others in your experience what do you recommend to keep the pinks and the blues in the hair looking bright and fresh Matt what do you think so I said that honestly I think this is also a frequency of visit thing this is something you don't want there is no pink or blue color that lasts a long time and stays bright in the hair you got to keep overlaying it so break up your service what you want to do is take the first initial service have it a little bit more expensive let's say maybe if they just want a couple pieces of color it's a certain charge for the lightening process and then it's a charge for the overlay combine it together call it something then go through and say that you're going to need to come back within two to three weeks and just get a quick 10 minute overlay that won't cost you barely anything because you're just overlaying it you already have the lightener in there so you're just refreshing it so come up with a name for that package it together keep that frequency of visit going and get your services per guest in there and that's the way that you need to do it there's no way to keep I mean they're they're advancing this more and more right I know that joyco has come out with some crazy fun stuff and I'd like to try it I haven't but I know that all of them seem to last about the same amount of time even Paul Mitchell's inkworks they redid the formula they last a lot longer but you still got to come in I mean it's not natural doesn't last forever yeah they're big huge dye molecules that are sitting on top of the hair they don't go in the hair so there's no way that they're going to stick yeah there's a price to be an awesome and it's a frequency of visit of 16 to 24 also going that was definitely at the experience this weekend okay a couple more do all right let's do what are some ways you advertise in your area to attract new clients wow you got them all for me well I mean I we can go around the horn if you want yeah what do you think for me because like we're in such a small town like I I'll go places where I can scoop up the kinds of clients that I want like I've talked to you about that just like I should go hang out at this restaurants bar instead of this one because it's going to be a completely different kind of clientele that we're going to pull in yeah I mean here's the thing you have the bar that you go get drunk and can be an idiot at this is something I learned from one of my bosses in the past you have that bar where you can go be fun be yourself and and party it up whatever and then you have the bar that you go to maybe before you do that and you know hand out the cards maybe go go somewhere where it's a little bit more of a classy kind of you don't have to spend a lot of money just go in there and have a cocktail or something or even a water I don't do that have a cocktail or something or like you know maybe you can't but just I don't want to offend anyone but what I'm saying is go in there maybe get an appetizer or something sit down talk to the bartenders get to know them or the waiters at that place because then once you have that connection you can go in there all the time and you know you'll build up relationships with their clients help but we there's so many ideas one of the just to sort of piggyback off of that one I had worked at a salon at one point that was you just piggybacked off your own idea you gave the idea I went with it and then you piggybacked off of it so full circle yeah we're right back at full circle too perfection is that piggyback or is that leapfrogging I um distractions so what I did I was working at a salon I had gone to a completely new area I didn't know anybody I didn't even know where I was and so what I ended up doing was I'd worked out a deal with the owner of my salon this was only my promo it was small so it didn't really matter but I went around to a couple of the busier local restaurants like TGI Fridays a couple of the bars around there and worked out deals I told the manager and a couple of the servers that I was going to work out something there with the servers where you know come in I'll discount your services whatever give you a stack of my cards and every single time one of your tables tells you that they like your hair then you point them my direction every time they bring me one of your cards then I'll continue hooking you up nice and that was one of the jobs I got fired shortly after I wonder how well it worked out but it was a good idea anyway it's one of the 90 jobs you got fired from there was only three okay thousand I think three okay anyway all right I know that we hit on this last time I don't know if you had said when do you determine when to bump your prices I think we did yeah did we tackle that we know that check out episode 37 we talk about raising prices this one for everyone but Matt now that beach pool summer months are upon us do you guys have a go-to product to help preserve color during this time Drea yes I well first off I love shampoo three after Paul Mitchell Paul yeah Paul Mitchell shampoo three because it just it removes the chlorine from the hair but it's a little bit gentler it can be harsh but it does actually get out the chlorine in a much gentler fashion than some of the other chlorine removing shampoos or the swimmer I know a lot about that one um also the Paul Mitchell has their son line that's very seasonal having that spray on hand before you go in the pool damp damp in your hair and spray that in there it's a great it came back out this year it did just not as like big and in your face yeah I haven't seen it I mean it came through here we had it we did yeah it's on the shelf not anymore we sold it no there's one on the oh on that shelf yeah there's actually a bottle right next to you all right then well what I love about it is everyone complains about it being too heavy and too oily yes if you're just going to go and blow dry your hair with it yeah it will be but if you put it in your hair before you go swimming or at the beach that's what it's designed for and that's where it kind of locks your hair in place prevents things from being absorbed in there it's a good friend yeah another thing that um the my old boss Sam Burns would always tell people is um if you take I'll put moisture mist from Paul Mitchell and you put it in a cooler and you take that to your beach so just keep it in the cooler and you can mist yourself with it I'm pretty sure this said this question was for everyone but you know I know but I had a great answer moisture mist is always a nice one I did oh no I heard that given a good one today that's what I always tell my guests so I know it's a good one okay yeah I was gonna say uh I always like to tell my clients to make sure that their hair is wet with tap water so like hopping in the shower before they go out to the pool or to the beach because it's going to absorb their uh absorb into their hair so that way the chlorine is not going to be able to absorb as much or the salt won't be able to get because hair is like a sponge you can only get a sponge so wet right jefford somebody always uh told me that somebody always told me uh constantly was telling me that a damp towel dries better than a than a dry towel like it it will dry like if you take a damp towel and dry yourself with it it actually will dry you it will soak up the water faster than if you just take a dry but that's like the exact opposite of what he just said but there's we're saying wet your hair with regular water that way when you go in the pool you won't absorb as much pool water and that's like the opposite yeah but what i'm saying is like with uh with the conditioner and stuff that's still i don't understand you're saying if your hair is wet it's going to soak up more chlorine mad i know i've heard that before too and like it doesn't make sense because like if the towel is already wet or if the sponge is already wet how can it be absorbing more like that much more yeah the sponge is already wet then it's i have no idea and i have no idea why i said that all right we need mr wizard next week we need to google that can we google that real quick let me get on that does a towel really i just want to know if the towel thing works and then we'll figure out the hair thing whatever that was like the whole the one that used to get me when i was a kid was that hot water freezes faster and i'm like but it's got to get cold first that doesn't make sense but then like someone explained it to me that it does okay um can we follow up on that after explained here's i'd like to know about that google that too all right throw it out let's focus all right uh preferred method of retouching highlights or a multi-dimensional color william everett the third uh really depends on the look i think you're going for like if you're retouching highlights i personally try to not put them exactly where they were before because well i mean it yeah it depends on the look you're going for if you're trying to get somebody to look like they're pulling off a natural blonde then if you're doing weaves through their hair then you go through and you weave the hair you didn't do last time and that's going to make them even blonder than they were the last time because you did hair that wasn't done in 12 weeks if you want to keep the highlights exactly where they are then you just if you did it before and you're consistent with your work you should have no problem pulling out relatively the same highlights that you did last time yeah i've never been able to do that in my life really really i have never been able to follow a highlight that i did before really really have you ever been able to do that with a haircut no so maybe that's it there you go but you i just always felt like color like if i'm if i'm gonna have somebody to come in for highlights again then i would just color them again and then i would usually if they started to get too blonde then i would just throw in a few lowlights from that point i would never just i would never sit there and try to pick it out that's just my personal well that's what i'm saying like when you work if you have a consistent method to how you do something then you're going to bounce those those weaves close enough that you can either put them exactly where they were last time or just bounce out the other ones depending on what kind of look you want i guess i've just never colored that way and you'll hear it in also in my interview with candy but i my thought process is very similar to her like i i'm not a foil person i barely ever use foils because i like whether it was called by balayage or not like i would just randomly okay i just want to brighten it just a little bit there so i it was always to enhance a haircut more than to pop in a bunch of blonde foils like i've never had i watch you and i saw dreah's foil today and it's like such a structured like foils are just perfectly placed through the head and i get it but for me if you're going through and you can actually follow a pattern it just doesn't seem like that would be that natural to me like well it's following a pattern based on the round of the head right it's all about head shape and what look you're going for so if you know that you're going for a slice or a weave and you know where you're putting it in the haircut you can kind of figure out where you were last time okay that makes sense it's like a map and we're gonna this week we have to work on finding a time to start filming again so you gotta get back to the steps yeah i know and the next step is foiling and that was one of the things that i wanted to hit on not necessarily patterns of foiling but just methods of doing it to make it easier neater cleaner all right sweet uh what what really is breaking the base lisa forester would like to know so real quick i think this would be a good good final one yeah um i think that said anyway breaking the base i we talked about a little bit ago but just for me breaking the base is just popping up the base maybe a shade or so so that you can then go in to color it finding ways to bring that that root color up just a little bit whether it's i mean i've seen some companies that sell base breakers that you just do a little bit so that they can go every 12 weeks getting their foils instead of doing it every six weeks because it just it just processes that root enough to lift it just enough so that it's not that same dark root okay see that's why i don't know those because i've never used the company that did that but um so that's where i've in the dialogue i've always used breaking the base was to take something darker and just kind of break it yeah it should bring it up bring it up just a little bit so same thing but that's cool that they make that for highlight i didn't know that i was gonna say doesn't that still leave a line of demarcation though probably but not as much of one so a more blended yeah yeah because it's not a drastic you're not talking about going from like a four to an eight it's like a four to a five and a half okay so it's just a little smudge all right cool so that's it for the papers that's it for the papers where we at done deal are we are we getting ready oh we got a trending tress yeah i have so we got a spin for so we got trending tresses and then we're going to spend the freewheel yeah our darling on the freewheel this week we'll actually we'll talk about that let's do trending tresses first okay there's no sense to go all over the i mean really why why should we stop now right all right all right so jennifer anniston has her extensions back in our hair speaking of balayage and she has her back her balayage so i guess the movie role is over and she's gone back to her real life um so that was that yeah she looks like jennifer anniston again yeah then so matt was talking about it a little while ago kelly osborne has shaved both sides of her head now and is sporting a fun little mohawk she looks fit this is one of those haircuts where i love her like this is something that my friend steven is going to the salon guy he's going to do his haircut i don't see a point in doing this haircut he is absolutely going to do this haircut but that's why i want to create a version of this he's going to do it because he does everyone ever all of them but i just think that it's cool it's definitely cool i wish it was a little more the one i want to do has like a fringier feel to the sides like something that somebody could actually wear you know what i mean tired guy hey i i'm not hiding it anymore i know just see i also like how it's styled though because it's kind of oh i do like it i like it i like the front i like the it's got like a little dip ity do in the front a dip ity do a dip ity do that's a technical term what exactly is a dip ity do it's a very technical term yeah it's in the glossary of the milady book yep so wait so her side burns are cool too i like how they're kind of straight off the ear it's interesting i don't like that no not as much it i like it's different you know it's different i like that it's something different i did not notice her side burns until you pointed them out and now it's kind of killing me does it bother you it's like lee roy jethro gives an nc i didn't i didn't like i like i like that the uh i like the dark brown sides right into the purple as well and it's it there's some depth in it it's a really good picture i bet it doesn't look like that in real life but is that two pictures it is two pictures i can't see the other one the big their instagram together yeah i squish them together for you brian thank you it looks great putting in the effort jennifer love hewitt has chopped her hair off into a nice little bob she is prego that's why she looks pregnant she looks pregnant but well okay but so she's getting her hair chopped off ready for her motherhood olivia pala palermo yes i don't know why i can't say it um i'm not the only one affected by nighttime shooting jay i can't read after seven i can't read polis married um olivia what was it palermo palermo okay anyways keep going well they're on the first name basis she doesn't need the last name yeah so she is got some balayage done before we're moving on that we're refocusing okay all right has some balayage highlights going on for her wedding upcoming wedding so that's fun natalie portman uh who's now are you laughing she got through it okay i was like i thought you'd really like natalie portman okay so what's she doing so she debuted her um blonde her hair at uh the miss dior show i guess she's the face of dior now okay okay that's good emma roberts yes i can still read now um when finally went back to being a brunette after a year of being blonde so i think that's fun i can't tell if that's just a bad picture because i don't dislike her blonde like on american horror story season three she was a blonde and looked good yeah i i think this was just a very unflattering picture yeah because in that side by side she definitely looks so much better with the darker hair i think she can definitely pull off being both oh yeah she looks more related to julia with her hair dark yeah just needs a little bit more warmth to it instead of just the golden brown all right and kim kye i guess after the wedding it meant going back to the blonde yeah i think that was a picture that her hairdresser put up i do like this blonde a lot better than the last one yeah i mean it's definitely much more of like she's she's blonde that's pretty serious don't show christina this picture i mean she's like super blonde all right see that all right i won't i don't even have that picture all right oh yeah i didn't add that one to the feed yet brian came back from i probably saw it she's on the feed it's

thank you hey guys this is barrett stilettana from freesaloneducation.com with splitting hairs and your tip of the week on splitting hairs today we're just going to do a really quick easy shinyan kind of inspired by last week's tip of the week of pulling the ponytail through the middle of the hair so here we go okay so same thing as last week we're just going to separate the inside of it take the tail of our ponytail and loop it through giving us a nice easy section if we need to brush out that ponytail we can at the bottom then what i'm going to do is add a little spray to the inside of what the shinyan is going to be and we're just going to go through and we're going to roll this up i'm going to tuck the tail in right now first by pinning it and then i'm going to tuck the rest of it in with my tail comb one on each side just for right now and then i'm going to take my tail comb pushing everything under and then taking a few more bobby pins just to secure the shinyan in there if i can open the bobby pins two maybe two more on the top you can also use hair pins on the top as well if you feel like there's enough hair to grip it and a little bit thicker hair than thinner hair you can always use the hair pins taking one more on the side before i go with my final bobby pin i just want to spray get any of those loose ends tucked in and i'm going to take one more bobby pin and just tuck these loose ends in and bobby pin it down and then you have our quick easy shinyan inspired by last week's tip of the week pulling it through like a topsy-turvy ponytail it's up there very quick and easy you can really do on anyone thank you for this week's tip of the week and stay tuned for next week thanks guys i just broke up i was up there so i did my jay was slacking hashtag jay
