it is kind of because they'll use now after today that entire movie officially takes place in the past yeah which is kind of crazy and and I did see an article of how many things actually are kind of from that happening yeah there is a lot look it up like what Google at that like Google there's quite a few things like Google actually there's a DeLorean pulled over today in Michigan I saw an article doing 80 miles an hour that's great I feel like everyone with a DeLorean that's the responsible thing to do today yeah oh yeah totally have to like hopefully they let them go after that because yeah they should have taken a picture of them I can completely understand and like today if I was Libyan I would totally go around trying to blow people up so big question would be if you could the beginning of the movie if you could travel anywhere in time where would it be right now forward forward yeah to I don't know some time today well don't know I would want to go forward more than back just to see you know beyond when it would be possible for me to live yeah like I wouldn't want to go see my future because what the hell I'll get there eventually I'd want to see like well after I would definitely be dead like a couple hundred years so you want to see what happened you want to be like what's her name from alien you want to be like Sigourney when she's asleep for 53 years I just always want to be like Sigourney yeah who doesn't who else you would you go anywhere oh I would go back that what show you on that's googling I'm googling like I was asked to yeah what show are you on were you not paying attention that has one job he gets our power hungry that is doing his job there's a lot of things that's a cop that tickets the DeLorean doing 88 today because it's a job we're not paying attention one of those things was the Cubs winning the world series and they're actually closer than they've ever been to winning the world series but they haven't won yet no but did you see the end of the movie they're going to win come on yeah we already know well and what's it called whoever the hell it was that made jaws they were making a special like preview for jaws whatever it was 31 whatever it was in the movie oh yeah they're making a good joke for that yeah for that okay release for now okay that's not really fast up all right so new on YouTube I know I know it's because we're taking up the entire Internet turn your Wi-Fi off all right so we have a lot of new videos on YouTube so my favorite layered haircut is since last week that's on there episode 9 of my business show also Justin just posted today a point of view men's cut boom which has a couple hundred views already it's a skin fade by the way I just want to say that yes that was a horrible accent that was alright it was different than your regular voice so we'll take it you're such a good dad that next time do the deep voice all right so Brian's Bolliage with cream lights video and also a V shaped long haircut that I did with the carving comb that is out now about 500 views in the last three four hours so that's rare to go people seem to like it I felt really good I'm sorry to interrupt you about how many views we get on a week about this stuff and I was telling you earlier I was coming to work and I just checked the I was sitting in traffic and I watched the Star Wars preview yesterday yeah 11 hours 80 million views 11 hours I know you said that but then Justin Bieber gets 1 billion in like 11 hours that's just people hoping he's run over in the video no they're not okay so Matt handheld tablet computers yep baseball team in Florida video conferencing wall mounted widescreen televisions you're so happy right now I know I'm telling you it was like a huge list and I was like wow that's kind of cool relation sneakers like a binary mentioned yeah being concerned with personal electronics yeah well multiple TV channels yeah they didn't have multiple TV channels in the 80s yeah performance enhancers being a major problem in sports no they've always all this is in that movie yeah yeah there's like a huge list so we'll find it that wherever you found that list yeah send me the link we'll post it in the comments below but there was a lot of things like it was kind of cool to see how many things are actually being done but none of the stuff that people really wanted like hoverboards flying cars you know the problem is everybody wanted the hoverboard and that's all they think about they're like oh well the hoverboard didn't happen so nothing happened flying cars and hoverball I wanted hoverboards flying cards and little pizza that you put in five seconds later is a full delicious looking pizza but there's that hover but they did say they said something about the pizza and they did say that because before you had to get a pizza delivered and now Lexus actually can have a pizza to your nose is not what went down in that movie it was pizza hut wasn't it yeah that's all right Lexus actually has a hoverboard so Lexus has a hoverboard people it's not the same but it is a hoverboard it just doesn't have the high speeds yet so speaking of the video milk in your mouth the videos there's no more milk has a dripping out of beer okay speaking of the videos that we did over the last couple weeks Justin put together a bloopers video so we're going to turn the sound on some of you guys haven't seen this quite yet either so we're gonna watch it right now let's check it out oh tons of really cool stuff so I really hope you guys enjoy the video thank you very much here it is one more time I don't know exactly what it's gonna be looking password on the app so I can make sure that we're all lined up so we might have to redo the movie hey I think it's a good angle man you know what hope for the best expectable I'm Donald Scott I'm here with oh no no map I'm here with free song hi I'm Donald Scott I'm here with free salon education I'm gonna tell you a little bit about our razor tools this is our finished product so that's right skip that I'm not Donald Scott looks I like that all right so I put together the tools you gave me and made something fun so yeah that was really fun this is becoming so even so Justin has really jumped on to editing some video and playing around everybody really has I mean that knows how to do it now Brian's learning Dre is next or so you can just talk one of the guys into it there you go that's the smartest so we had so a lot of good stuff Justin that was a cool video and that's the kind of thing I just walked into that tonight and you had put that together so it's really neat to not have to really worry about that kind of stuff and have fun stuff for the show so some behind the scenes footage there all right coming soon we have Dre's color video so we just have to voice it over hopefully maybe Friday morning yeah okay do you still have the old blooper video like the very first one you started to make I'm not sure when we really didn't know what we were doing I'm not sure because we when we first started she weren't filming that we were pumping out so many videos I had to delete footage started an actual yeah we have to say there's tons of stuff from when we have some really embarrassing stuff so a couple last things on a show I know a couple last things I knew on the shop this week a few new products cream light stylist kit which is what we used in Brian's video so if you're looking for something like that check it out it's 70 bucks also Donald Scott tools individually sold we worked that out we also have a discount value pack as well that comes with prepare and the carving comb but for now we have two separate ways of purchasing that so if you want a carving comb go get them they're 3495 on the shop and if you don't want to go get them anyway because they're really cool yeah it's such a cool tool to have even if you love using a razor and you have a regular razor carving comb it's just a completely different tool and so verse and if you're not comfortable with razors for whatever reason like if you're newer you just don't you just never got that comfortable but you want to do razoring stuff I gotta tell you the carbon comes great yes having that guard on there just it makes you feel a lot more comfortable yeah you're not gonna cut yourself or yeah I mean now the swivel actually I used to hate the swivel I used to love this the hard handled carbon comb yeah but just I fell in love with the swivel they came out with just the way they remade it just like with the twist the twist yeah yeah it's just I don't know it just feels a lot more sturdy than it used to I love it I got the one I'll go to before anything else yeah I was gonna say when I was in school I was really afraid to cut side bangs so all I would ever use was the carving comb for that yeah well that's why in my long layered haircut video I did the entire haircut with scissors but the bangs I wanted to do a broken fringe so I just held them down and use the carving comb and you you just can't create a fringe like that with scissors the haircut that I am doing on the video that I'm working on now when I'm editing the carving comb haircut yeah under the undercut one that you did yeah nice just don't use them as a regular comb I swear no matter like how many times a teacher would say that while I was in school one person from like each class did it either to their own head or to the mannequin well when I was in core we had Donald Scott come to be a guest artist at the school and my friend went home to share with her mom is like oh you know Donald Scott came to the school with his tool her mom takes the carving comb before she even gets to tell her mom about the carving starts combing her hair with it oh yeah that's that was that was a fun one yeah that's a big mistake if you don't like somebody do that yeah just purchase one and put it in their bathroom bye yeah so get one for yourself and a few people you hate yeah exactly the neighbors across the street yeah I was just gonna say just get them for the neighbors so last two things mainstream I did talk to those guys with the app for on-demand beauty services they're on the wheel they're giving away a hundred percent of the services that you do for a month on the wheel but also if you use the code FSE and you sign up on mainstream so on-demand beauty is basically uber for stylists in the way that Brian can sign up he can go live and if he wants to do hair somebody can hire him from the app and he can go do their hair wherever they're at so it's a really cool app check it out it's mainstream M A N E S T R E E M on iTunes check it out there I too so sign up for free use code FSE automatically that enters you into win $500 cash and 100% of your services for the entire month if you do the most services for that month so that's what that's all about last thing YouTube is possibly taking away commercials oh nice if you have to pay for it right so it's a subscription service pays the viewer the viewer okay so it'll be obviously YouTube is moving into I use it for more more than I even use TV at this point I have a lot of people that I watch on YouTube and a lot of different shows but sometimes I mean I don't care about the 15-second commercial I don't know if you guys do I go yeah 30 and then you wait for the three seconds and then you hit skip is that worth paying maybe 999 I wonder if they would move from those to the longer ones every now and then I catch the 30-second one yeah and if they really wanted to make people start paying it yeah then they would be like Hulu and put way too many commercials in it you hate them right and it if I honestly I don't think it's that big of a deal if like I pay for the paid version of Spotify so that I not so much I don't have commercials I have more freedom within it you know there's other like I watch YouTube so much that I wouldn't mind yeah right but right now the the three-second skip doesn't bother but if they do move to one-minute commercials like people are gonna be upset and whatever but I did get a message from them today saying that and that is pretty much they're going over the drivers yeah and I'm headed to Michigan this weekend to do a class on YouTube hang with some old friends from Paul Mitchell which will be fun tell Nugget I said hi make that picture I found of us this weekend what's the deal with the story Ryan on the 500 stylist pulled oh I was just I forget where I was Facebook or whatever there's a we have a picture Chris a picture I just saw on YouTube that GQ pulled 500 stylist barbers all over the country from every corner to see what the most common haircut was and they expected there to not actually be one common haircut but they said no matter where they talked to people from this was the most requested haircut yeah it's pretty standard haircut right right then they were talking about how to order it I guess basically you're gonna ask for it when you get your haircut and they were just saying scissor cut up top about an inch and a half in length more texture towards the ends and then a taper down to a quarter of an inch or an eighth of an inch if you want it tighter okay then I saw a couple of us getting pissed saying don't tell us how to do our job but I don't know what they're doing that they feel that they should not get requests for how they're paying guests would like their haircut yeah but I mean if a guy goes into that much detail then I'm like great yeah yeah he's not telling you how to do your job he's telling you how he would like his like he's speaking your language at that point so you should know exactly what he's looking for and then can deliver that so there's no reason to be pissed like pissed off about it yeah all right I like it too what are you going over this stuff let's do I I know we got to hit up this Amika stuff let's um you know we're not gonna do it if we don't do it right now I know let's do it now real quick and then we'll get into fan shares with Justin look Amika stuff we're done news Amika sent us a bunch of cool stuff they always have hooked us up with tons of products and anything that they have coming out I mean they've sent us Christmas gifts and and everything they've always supported the show so they have some new products so they sent us all their new stuff Christina I know you use the it's the dry shampoo and dry conditioner which is interesting you use almost all of them all of them today yeah not the hair spray though okay so why don't use from a consumer standpoint and you are just familiar with products as well why don't you tell I love their packaging yes I love their smell I love the smell okay the dry shampoo is awesome the dry conditioner I'm pretty excited for if in the winter months anyone has any static kind of hair that you do from like mid right all their stuff to the end okay and it also like kind of put a little bit of a sheen like shine that you want to zoom in on some of these like really zoom in the wizard like so we can read the packaging and the ingredients the wizard the spray that's dry a love that Christine is pointing at the computer saying that one right I know I wish you could mouse over it right here right here I made my headphones right there that's awesome one because you can put it in your mouth that's in a spray so it's a really light light lightweight I was expecting to do it oil but it's super lightweight and I sprayed it on my legs after I shaved them too because it really they smell good and it makes them really smooth what is that but you put that in before you you could use it as a like a cutting before you're cutting and it's for it's like a thermal protectant before you would blow dry so you put that on damp hair okay I don't see the undone texture spray here she kept that that's that helmet in the cabinet did they sent maybe I did keep that I was gonna say I have a thing of undone texture spray at my house I love it I think it's a lot of fun okay the rose gold brushes really really light it's a light gritty like oh no I don't have that they didn't send that it's just it gives it a nice toss all it's they didn't send every product so these are these are a lot of new products I believe the shield the style extending spray oh okay I wanted to try this one okay so that's exciting I'll be borrowing this all right Brian yeah the brush there's about a dead bug oh my god what's in your hair yeah it smells great yeah dry shampoo is one of my favorite dry shampoos that I've used yeah I like the oil to oh yeah the oil is really nice we got that when we got the when they sent us the I am the oil at home yeah the wet brush is just like the wet brush kind of amicus but it has I feel like it has more teeth yeah I can see that it has your hair in it as a comb okay brush I really liked that and it kind of like feels good against your scalp I don't know how I feel about this core candle I said to Christina I was like the day that the somebody makes a cooler wet brush I can't wait because I just because the packaging looks better yeah it's not called the wet brush right yeah I love you know I think this is cool it's got a really nice detail to feel about this core oh I love the core candle can we use these tomorrow yeah yeah these are open now we'll use them I can't wait to use the rose gold concave round brush because it's got the little twisted bristles yeah I can't wait like I like not but they're not all like that okay it's a mix so I think that's gonna give a nice pull okay and I just like that it's rose gold it's something different yeah all right so and then the last one corner out for what you do last time you had something in your hands all right guys so the last product is the virgin virgin product which is two steps to reclaiming hairs virginity it's basically you put this into hair color so you put it into any chemical service color bleach highlights balayage ombre straightening and relaxing keratin and Brazilians texture treatments anything you want you add it to it no changes required for mixing developer percentages processing time appointment time nothing changes there and so how does it work virgin reconnects disulfide sulfur bonds which repair existing damage and prevent additional chemical breakage allowing you to push the limits without compromising hair's health so it's gonna be interesting we obviously know that this is their version of the very popular oleplex product which a lot of we talked about keratin complex came out with one we were talking about last week Brazilian blowout company came out with one every company is coming out with one so it's gonna be interesting to play with it and see what it's like we haven't used it yet so so we'll see it's two steps and I believe that that's pretty much it on that looks like a car wash yeah so there's virgin protect and virgin lock so I'm guessing step one step two yeah that's not scary so what because I'm just thinking about like chastity belts okay all right so let's get into I think that's good with Amika thank you again yeah there's no seam and seam was what my hated on most round brushes when I first started doing hair cuz I always would catch it there's nothing there yeah that's fine now it's not here just never got hair stuck up there so yeah exactly I never to worry about the top was only the and this is another thing that we're talking about earlier their book is really really nice yeah their product knowledge book is awesome yeah so really cool read and again thank you to Amika for all of that call them and tell them that you wanted all FSE told them they should come hang out the cameras are I just sprayed my camera like a really intense spray a really really light oil and like oh yeah that's nice because then you want to do your makeup or blow dry with a brush you and it yeah and I love that it's in that bottle that's cool all right all right sweet so let's get into the fan shares from Justin and any other news he wants to talk about as well well here we go that's just as new music it is I saw some good pictures from you I found some good photos of you thanks Matt all right here we go cool so we're gonna go to first is Taylor lamb hair she does all kinds of fun like not work and braid work and stuff like that there's no order I'll tell you the name not work what's the hair look like long blonde the braid the braid yeah it just it looks so cool that's delicious right see I couldn't see the thing and I'm nervous because I did the photos yes okay cool sorry don't worry I can see the thing you're good yeah I know so well I know Christina can't do but I was just nervous no as long yeah I thought I messed it up okay one job Matt I know so Taylor lamb hair which was just beautiful all over work looks like this all of the pieces she does she does like multiple styles of this on different people so it looks like she probably just first together a lot quicker than I could in a very long period of time and everything looks on point yeah which is nice you know she's not like half ass and one just get a photo of it trying to throw another one in there so good job Taylor the next one it's gonna be Michael Taylor I saw this when he posted and it cracked the Lego I'm glad you picked it yeah this was just funny like inspiration coming from anything a kid brought him a Lego character with the hair and said I want that and I feel he duplicated it perfectly you know what I love Michael Taylor every single day likes one photo yeah from I don't know does he do it on your Instagram too just one yeah it's like one random photo and I'm like it's just nice to like you see him coming through the feed you probably have him on the blacklist you don't accept on Instagram you probably have like three pages of them full all right the next one is gonna be hair by Alex Alexis forced this is a real fun I just realized you're not following Michael Taylor I might be and it was just not done on my Instagram I looked at I'm like am I not following Michael Taylor and then I realized it was your picture I might not be and he still gets it like a day Christina wow okay yeah no this was just really nice really well done photo is nice the little banner of who it's by wasn't overbearing you could see clearly what they were trying to get across this although they lost the L in the border yeah that is the L by a herb yeah it's a really horse this flowers from the exes forest yeah that's cool yeah yeah no again this is this is a week of inspiration we're seeing the next one is hair DeMarco love gray this Bob just on point everything about this is like precise great precision cutting I think the neckline is done very clean I think I brought a picture like this up before something similar to this but they extended the little tail down a little too much I feel and or maybe not too much but I just feel this everything about this haircut's perfect everything just there's nothing I don't see a single flaw in it yeah the photo too is taken so well with a good background your glasses glasses just got some glasses this week were you looking for two eyes or four eyes I've never heard that yet Monday thank you for being that guy oh yeah are you experiencing all of the jokes now no he tried to look are you in seventh grade he's like that says I like your hipster hipster glasses coming from the hipster beard himself like all right so yeah from that yeah of course that's what I'm saying and the last one I have is by the fantastic Jay Ham the barber wait is that not that's not yeah never mind wow one job I even said who it was no it's not you don't have anything else I have Jay Ham he's on there where we're here on the feed look at it she has it further down oh okay yeah she's got it you don't even listen to me anymore yes this is a fear haircut he terrified him in getting this no it looks like he slapped him in the face instead of taking a picture he probably he the guy for a sense of skin when they did the like the straight blade on him but again nice clean high and tight I'm done I hate you guys we're just trying to laugh Brian is trying not to cry I'm not going to smile yes you are that's how Brian gets his photos yeah that's why you never see any of his faces of his guests because he beats the life out of him while they're processing you're gonna love your hair you're gonna rebook cuz I say so yeah that's why he's rebooking so high he's like the mafia all right and the last little tidbit I felt was inspired by Dreya's little trip to Puerto Rico six ways to save for your next vacation oh yeah from the lovely my lady pro website one of them create a budget actually sit down think how much gonna take you to get where you want to go and what you want to do while you're there okay vacation money plus bills paid plus cushion money is your savings goal a little math for you break it down to a daily weekly monthly goal so that we keep track of your progress so that way it's not just I'm gonna try to save up $2,000 and not really have any idea where it's gonna come from or how far along you are cut out an image I thought this cool cut out an image and put it somewhere in front of you each day or save an image as your wallpaper in your phone that reminds you that you're going to go away so you're like there's a lady in the tunnel there's a light my lady it sounds like the next one and jobs for cash yes and jobs for the homeless what is the what's the next one the next one is to save your tip money that's an appropriate yeah I have a jar in my room you definitely need to get a segue and he said to save your tip money and I commented that I have a jar of money in my room that is tip money that's a good idea so off of like this it's funny because I was actually just talking about it today because my brother just recently moved to Germany so like I when I was talking to him the whole thing was like oh when I come I'll stay for a month and I actually started thinking about it because our job is a commission-based job so it's a little bit bigger of a hurdle that I have to get over because alright let's say I go for the whole month of June to go travel Europe and do all this so ahead of that I have to save up all my money to pay my bills for the month of June while I'm not home but keep in mind I'm also not working the entire month of June so I also have to save up my money for the month of July because I'm not working right it's a commission job so that's definitely something to take into account so now that month long trip is being scaled back to something a little bit more doable yeah so you know I'll try to go for two weeks that way I'm not missing an entire month of work so that it's not as big of a hurdle for when I do get back to work afterwards well and I want to so that that leads me into this question because I had somebody look at us we're like connected I know ask me and that was the news I want to you know we're expanding off of the news Justin you're so I want to get done otherwise I forget where I'm at and I just lose track of ever this is where we're at we're on the story there's two more things on the list we're in New Hope at Freestyle and Education's headquarters at so I want to answer it for in my perspective but I want to hear your guys's thoughts as well I've been a stylist for two years in my current salon for seven months I really love it and I'm starting to build a good clientele but I'm also 20 only 25 and I want to go traveling and experience the world I'm struggling with the decision because I have my dream job and don't want to leave it but I also don't want to look back and regret not traveling because of work what is your advice on this go obviously not all at one time that was the complete opposite of my answer so well he's the boss so quick wait wait so no not quit your job but okay don't have to travel the world right don't do the whole world in one trip have it be like every six months you take a week vacation right to someplace else that you want to go but I want to travel the world in 90 days this is why you don't get a cord so so yeah that was my my thought because the you quit your job screw your boss exactly what you were saying you take a month like if you wanted to take a month it would affect you you have to say it for two months but first off she wrote I'm only 25 which 25 is 25 like it's only 25 Matt yeah I didn't say 50 no I I know I'm not calling her old but I'm not calling her young she's only 25 she should have three kids by now she's no spring chicken Brian well it depends so but what I'm saying is she's at a salon that she loves yeah she she should travel she should travel and I think everyone should travel obviously and I Andrea just got back from Puerto Rico back from Puerto Rico she went for four days because she has a job right she loves as well so she went had a good time had a good time you know it's one of those things that I wanted to travel more but at the same time I don't feel I need to take a month off at a time to do it there is you know you pick a location and then you decide the amount of time that you want to spend there four days was enough for me and Puerto Rico it I wish I had a little bit longer but it's still nice I don't feel overwhelmed I don't feel broke when I came back I didn't it was good it was well planned having a job kind of curious the fact that you're gonna be coming back I went out to San Diego last year and if I didn't have a job that I loved I probably would have just stayed there yeah and that's fine if you find a job that you love I'm still looking I know and when you find it I'm taking applications yeah and we're still looking for you know the perfect employee too so I'm pretty sure that was a dig at all of you but but when you when you find a job that you love then you you should be working around that I believe because you have to have a job forever and as a hairdresser you can't just like you can't jump I've talked about this before you can't jump from job to job and if you're already building your clientele then you should be enjoying vacations and having fun but you can also work and do that at the same time I don't you shouldn't feel like you're missing out on anything just don't not do it right I think splitting it up like that yeah I think that would be you know if you have a list of I don't know 10 places that you're just dying to go to from around the world setting these six months split up goals for it I think would always give you that drive to keep going like I know when I have a vacation coming up in a couple months that always just add that little bit of excitement you know it always it helps you find that extra little bit to stay and work a little harder take that one you know that one extra haircut that maybe is going to make you stay a half hour past the time you normally would like whatever just it gives you a motivation it gives you something to strive for a goal so you don't ever just get bored and lazy so it keeps everything just more interesting right so yeah everyone needs motivation if travel is yours then awesome you just had a you found a dream job and a dream reason to get out of bed in the morning and I think you found a good job for that dream to you know like this is a job where you can right as long as you work your clientele around it you can plan to take off in a few months and do it that's what people keep saying because I my whole thing at first was that you know I do I wanted to go and see all of Europe so go for like three or four weeks and people are like well how are you gonna do your client I'm like calm down like it would be worked out I promise I'm gonna decide I'm leaving tomorrow for a month and here's the thing with I know here like we're all we don't just drop of a hat oh you know what next week I'm gonna go to Puerto Rico or you know I'm gonna go to Europe all our vacations are planned very far in advance right even my Puerto Rico trip I felt was the last-minute trip and it was planned eight weeks ago right so and you only missed two days right so if you really need if you're having a hard time getting your clients like getting this across to them and talking to them about it just have Drake all she's the best at that gets mad when Drake calls I just get really excited I'm like oh my gosh I'm so excited I'm going to Puerto Rico and my clients were like oh that's so fantastic when are you going how long and then it became well I need to get in before you leave or I need to make sure I'm your first appointment when you're back like it's not yeah you're good it works out and it helps you know it helps make them appreciate it's another thing to get the rebooking going well yeah you know I got places to be I'm going places I'm not here all the time now there's steps there are days taken out of potential future appointments for you I suggest you book it because you're not gonna find one yeah there you go so I can put it in my tip jar all right Drea trending tresses trending tresses so I can't sit on Instagram longer well I came back yesterday and Brian starts messaging me and tagging me in all these photos and I'm like sweet like this is done for me now I don't have to worry about it but the first image I'm gonna bring up is Beyonce there's two images of Beyonce because we're not really sure what's going on here because two different hairdressers of her two different of her hair stylist have posted images of Beyonce stating new hair and both of them are very different the first one is a darker look for a fall which it just brings in just reminds me of hot chocolate that's the one Christina lattes all those fun things all in here it's pretty it's very pretty color it's still has you can tell that it's still coming off of her summer hair because it's later on the ends moving up to the warmer richer colors on top then the second image is a very high ponytail Christina pink fur and she's super blonde yeah this one what was it Rita is on yeah posted today so I was like oh she wasn't dark for long but that also doesn't mean no it could be a very nice way going on so we we know that things happen for photo shoots all the time but I thought that was very interesting that very close together we had two very different hair colors for Beyonce get a bag then next we have Jesse J is a pale blush pink in color it's not quite as pastel as we've been seen in the trends but I like it because it's very bubblegummy yeah yeah she does look older how old is she I don't know I'm not even 70 let me guess and then that can google it um what's your name you looked like you were just about to write on your phone I know I was I I'm gonna say she's is she late 30s oh god no what's your name I don't think so Jesse J J ESS IE letter J all right I would go to bet that that's not actually her hair that was not picture she was just like jet black not too long yeah right yeah I would bet that's nice little like action Google says she's a 27 all right I was way off no one asked Matt how old he thinks you are no I would never win at that all right then our next image is Kate Beckinsale well we're going off of she's so pretty but she has a nice rich chocolatey chestnut brown going on and she has chopped her hair off to continue the trend of the long bob the lob oh that cut and color looks so much better than that than that picture obviously but yeah I don't like the cut on the left one is I don't know what that fatness is that heavy line looks like she has pieces like extra hair yeah it does look like that looks like she's tried on a wig forgot it was there went out man hell do you think she is I'm looking to say 54 but she's dead yeah it is back to the future day so she this was taken in the past she's dead the future so that was fun I thought that was a nice little chestnut transformation good call then we have Kylie Jenner has changed her hair again she has a nice blunt bob and I think it's fun is it a wig I don't know I'm I would bet to say that this is more her hair because in her Instagram it's actually a video of her tossing her hair back and forth but it's it's very blunt I like it I think it's fun I like her with shorter hair I know her thing is all the extensions and the wigs but I like her with the short hair well yeah yeah I think it complements her and she she can pull off that super blunt she looks like she's all hair when she has a big wig yeah well we're starting that wig line with her and then our final image is Jenna Malone who is shaved her head for her role I love her yeah it's the last hunger games the last hunger games she posted this picture and I think she said this is the third time in her life that she shaved her head I know that it was shaved in the last hunger games for like the two seconds that she's in it but I can't imagine I guess then there was another time where she was just like alright YOLO I mean she was supporting Britney Spears she looks like a Xenomorph from Alien movies like she's gonna have a small head come out of her mouth and bite someone that would be crazy that would be kind of cool Dembrowsdale she had to have hair somewhere so I'm gonna keep these though that's why she gets paid the big bucks I'm gonna keep these though all right shave my head I would love to shave your head that's the tresses that's all right cool so a couple more things left we have Brian Hare's social questions do we yeah we do and they're long they're actually a novel yeah let's get into it that's happening thank you can you get down to this this music you can't hear it we beat that all right next week we should give that headphones and no microphone yes see how that goes you get one or the other bring us no water well we will get little known fact drinking water little known fact I like what that says almost 100% of the time yeah yeah 99.9% I like it 100% I would wear a sad Bologna t-shirt I enjoy it then why don't you I think that brings lightness to the group yeah we're all bunch of miserable crap head sorry all right now I'm speaking for Matt let's do this all right first one we've got main images salon OB would love your ideas on offering specials I've had people tell me that we should not do them and others say yes can you give me some examples of your specials if you offer any thanks for your help so we say boss man I think I think we've been on both sides of the fence this one can we tap into ask Matt back show so you're a big fan of those cars that say like get one free haircut buy one get one free yeah or whatever get 10 haircuts on your little punch card get one free haircut yeah but so I think but here's the thing I I do believe in specials I think it's a good idea right now in our salon I don't believe in specials right well we don't need it because we don't need it because we've grown and we have a reputation right now but back when you were building were there and it worked really well yeah a lot and we had our loyalty program that we ran pretty solid which I really wouldn't mind bringing that back I want to see what's going on with me though that's what I'm really like waiting to figure out because I don't want to start a loyalty program in millennium and then shift it but we also so that that worked the card the loyalty card worked really well that was the if you so when you come in you have your service we write on a card a date in the future oh yeah I forgot about that yeah that was a good one so that was a beast with those yeah the loyalty cards oh yeah so yes I was a beast that's true I thought we were talking about the gym for a second I command loyalty you know it's funny so that comes in and he does film the show that that I'm doing with me and he said he does say things and and I forget who said it it was sippery and sippery and goes can you give that a microphone because he has great things to say so sippery and alright so you don't have anything good to say that take away my mic oh I said we'll just try it so that so that special worked really well what other one did we have 20 for 20 20 for 20 was awesome so that was for a friend get $20 off and they get $20 off yep that was a good one and those I actually you can buy the templates I believe still on freesoneducation.com I think it's like $25 but it's a template you can buy it download it and print it you get 20 cars no you don't get you don't get cars you get the artwork and you can use it yeah so it comes with a list of how to do it and a download so you can check that out as well but there there's so many cool specials come up with something be creative with it but I think if your son's not fully booked you should be running something don't one one of the big things like what he's what he's talking about versus I think what some people have probably said they didn't like that she's talking about yeah he's not talking about doing like oh we have a day where haircuts are only $5 all of those specials promote the things that build business for you right promotes rebooking it promotes referrals it's it's stuff that they get rewarded for making you busier right necessarily just for coming in yeah we don't believe in discounting a haircut for no reason right yeah there's no point in doing that right because then you just get discount shop it's rewarding them for doing your job for right yeah the loyalty program worked really well when we like we were like three steps ahead and we made sure we're they were booking for like say February when we weren't busy yeah something right yeah brings them in and you're generating money for that month yeah exactly so I think that's good yeah let's see I can't see the phone is too small how to pronounce this name what my glasses arson my paper yeah well how do you say our center what is it arson I can the lack three I just it's the color of it on here yeah throw me off hi guys love your show I will be relocating from Chicago to Austin Texas in December of this year that's gonna be fun you have fun with that awesome cool I've been in the industry for a year working at a big hair cutting chain and during that time I feel my skill set has increased tremendously for self-motivation and my passion for hair has grown but I feel stunted in my growth at the type of salon I'm at so with my move now I'm looking to make the jump to a higher-end salon hopefully starting as an apprentice but I obviously know of no salons in Austin how should I go about finding salons that have an apprenticeship program well there's the word of mouth you can Google plus you're gonna want to find someplace that you get a good feel from so I would say make a ton of resumes and bring them everywhere yeah because what worst case scenario you have to turn down four salons for the one that you really like that's not a problem also going online and just searching going through the reviews of salons right because think about when you're new when you're new to an area and you want to find a stylist you're gonna be looking at reviews so making sure that the salon you're going to has a good reputation you can kind of weed out some different right going in and trying out like not auditioning the hell is that called interviewing interviewing at all of them I mean that's a totally normal question especially in this day and age to ask is what is the education program when did they say that they're moving December December start loading up your Instagram with a great work now yeah so that way the slants have something to look at good call start looking at slants yeah you can I mean he's got or she whoever you've got time I mean you can do a lot of research between now and then Instagram is a great one check out if any salon owners are educators on YouTube or any of the companies yeah just your social media websites you know no one wanted to interrupt anyone it was very polite actually this whole they got really nice done talking okay I'm just gonna say checking out the salons continual education what they offer are two stylists how they feel about continual education and it's a great question asked during an interview I hate resumes they're like my least favorite thing ever if you're playing they are awful but you I still suggest showing up with one because I would rather honestly I would rather someone show up with one and say I don't really need it then someone just walk into the job no so that's the options do you either have a resume or you walk in like you have no brain whatsoever yes okay no no great area in life there is I don't even think I think we hire I don't even think I looked at any of your I've never looked at a resume that was brought here before I pretty done up for nothing looked at them but do not move to San Diego can you please bring me a resume pretty much so here's the thing I had to hunt him down right I put my header and then I put like a bunch of layers that just look like words and like a blank sheet after like the last two yeah that actually brought you a takeout menu I would look at that that's like buffalo wings this is what I would order you that's a good idea would write I would rather have a menu out and you picked your favorite items to see if we have anything I think you can so learn so much more if you walk into a salon or if the potential employee were to meet those people I think it's so much more than what's on paper no I agree no I 100% agree I'm just saying it's one of those things but you have on hand just in case someone asked for it is that the yeah there are some people that will find value in having one of those for no other reason just so I suggest having them on hand I also suggest making sure you know who the manager or the salon owner is when you walk into a salon because they're sure how much research do you want no because what's your blood type so off your city if I'm gonna talk to anybody and I totally agree it's I if I'm gonna talk to any company or anything before I reach out to them I look up as much as I can figure out about the person I find their Facebook I try to figure out you want to learn a lot about the person or kids go to interview one of the other members just ask him to go in the break room but for instance if you want to work here don't bring a resume just to upload a video of you doing karaoke to your Instagram and tag for each other pretty much true but this is the thing so I'm not I think there's something better than a resume that you can bring in I think resume is something that is it your small all the information if you think about it Brian yeah all the information that what was on a resume or is on a resume from a hairdresser standpoint all those words mean nothing like anybody can write anything on a resume I know but I'm just saying I'm not this is how you I'm not dissing your resume idea I'm not saying that they shouldn't bring in a resume but what I'm saying is there's gotta you need to stand out above anybody that brought in a resume another piece of paper to store so how can you right but I'm just saying this is you too so just to be prepared because there might be someone who's a little more old school that is just I mean your resume can say this is my name this is my phone number this is my Instagram name but just having some sort of thing I would just say be prepared yeah but that tangible thing could be something else is what I'm trying to say all right like maybe we can a blank check you are more creative than this I know you are and and in your mind so think about right exactly cuz I don't like this is the thing like so think about so obviously your Instagram account is like a resume right so it has your your current work what you do right your Facebook has all of your past things so maybe there's something I'm not saying we need it Facebook is locked in I think that there's a new way there's a new way that we can do it I don't know the answer at this point but if somebody came in with me that was that helpful to this conversation no because it's sparking an idea which obviously is not happening with you because you found the job that you want to have for the rest of your life but I'm saying if you were gonna go apply somewhere else to stand out a resume does not stand out what would stand out what do you think would stand out anything else I mean any head of your competitor well the head of your competing salon is on your footstep I would like a job you are welcome if I don't get my job this guy didn't hire me do you want to there's a third salon in this town whose head is coming off next so that's where I go with it I haven't talked for like 10 minutes and that's what I come up with this is I agree that because our job is extremely artistic a piece of paper doesn't really say that much I think there's a new way that maybe we could come up with an idea that you're talking about creating a portfolio totally get that totally agree just create a portfolio they could stick on their computer and watch yeah bring a flash drive like here's a flash drive of before and afters and some whatever you know make a powerpoint like this is who I am start tagging the salon that you want on your Instagram and that's what so on there I came up with one so but that's what I'm saying there I think that there's a different way to reach out to a salon nowadays rather than coming in here and the reason I am talking about this over and over is because I can't stand when somebody walks in here and hands me a piece of paper and I'm busy doing stuff I won't remember them when they leave it doesn't do anything she said make sure you know the manager owner who deals with it because a lot of times they just hand them to you guys well then how would you being the owner of someplace that I'm sure people would like to work how would you if you were in Austin how would you want that question answered you know what I've never noticed give her a chance I have I could not name one person that's ever brought in a resume here but I know that Michael Taylor likes one of my photos every single day on Instagram like that so you need them to tell you how great you are no but if he if he's doing no but what's all going on I think what we're getting at is that there is going to be a new age resume and for right now we don't know what it is and we're all coming up with ideas of what it is we but Brian is right not every single owner then I wouldn't work there I would never work I know but who would want to work for somebody that doesn't understand that stuff right sometimes people are before after the times and that's where we all pull information from not everyone in this world is just like somebody else somewhere in this world is more advanced than you are or more technically what sound than you are yeah but whatever he thinks that he could work in his town it might be different I think is what Brian's trying what I would do here right now every single day and I would tag that salon with the work that I do every single time I do it every picture I post I would tag that salon I would I would hope that they would get to know me know this he's trying to find out what salon I know but you can easily you don't need to be in a salon anymore to find out which salon is actually with the times and doing cool things you can I could look up a son in Austin right tonight the question he's asking how to find the right exactly so you go on the internet and you look up salons in Austin you find the cool the one that looks and has that right feel you follow them you look up you look into them then right now you start posting but sharing with them your work I I agree what's great no keep right now I'm not trying to be in the direction of a camera that Christina is actually looking at on the screen and Christina is looking at each other I think the intent of that question got a little sidetracked I don't think so I think you live in Chicago you just want to fight no no you live in Chicago you live in Chicago you're moving to Austin you don't know what salon to get into you don't like your chain salon that you're working at right now you want to get a note into a higher-end salon you don't want to get into a higher-end salon with a guy who doesn't know what Instagram is and can't wait to get a resume like that's not who you're trying to I would hope if you're watching this podcast you are not looking to work for a guy who doesn't isn't gonna understand or know that you're like that's not what you're looking for I think and this is just my personal opinion so what I would do is I would start taking really great photos of my work I would start sharing it on all their stuff and communicating with that then you get to know a Brian at that salon and now you can talk to him through instant messenger and find out whether the salon's cool or not then you have an in at that salon and now when I move to Austin I'm not walking into slums with a resume saying oh like I hope that you know this is the fit for me I already know Brian who works there he loves it there they can't wait for me to be there and meet each other and now I have a job that I like I don't think that that is I think so I think that's the new way to do it I think so but let me you're subliminally I think what I think what you're saying is that I didn't just invent that just so we're clear I didn't invent that so in order to have like an high-end salon no one else scared of that right now in order to be no to have an high-end salon in the future you're gonna have to be on Instagram so therefore you want to find a salon that is on Instagram that is doing stuff with social media whether it's Instagram Twitter there are high-end salons without a social media following that's what I'm trying to tell you but there so what how long what is the definition of high-end salons because I think there's a difference between popular like right there's difference cuz I mean there's gonna be like you're super super it is possible maybe we're all losing the definition of what I think of I think right now that if it's someone that's watching this show that they're probably looking for less of like your extremely or they're looking for maybe the spot that is just known as they do expensive taste a little extravagant you know right down to three people might touch their hair at a time I don't know you know that doesn't mean that they are the most social like a popular on social media it really does it you know it doesn't but if you're trying to grow the way that like the way that you are as a stylist now you need social meat depending on where you want to go in your career but I guarantee you the most popular salon it has to be on social media I I would love to see a salon that is not on social media that is the the best salon high-end and pop high and there's beautiful high-end salons on Instagram like yeah and I'm sure that there are not some not on there probably are but but if we're looking into the future your career at a place if they haven't jumped on board with that yet that's not a good in my mind that's not a good sign and I'm not just saying Instagram I'm saying Facebook or whatever if they haven't jumped on board with that then 10 years from now 20 years from now it's not gonna be we don't get a lot of our clients from Instagram I understand that what he's trying to say is all social media kind of reverts back to the internet because nobody's picking up a yell page anymore to look up for salon gratitude they're going on Google and when they go to Google or Yelp or whatever Internet Explorer or whatever they go to use to use a search engine it ultimately is always going to come back to people trying to check our social media as a portfolio because they I feel nowadays when they go to look they know they can try to find the information that way I feel that's one big reason why he's honing in on having social media as an outlet for a salon because right now like I said we how many people try to make phone calls we get more we get more revenue through I'm assuming the internet rather than a yellow page and website we got onto social media and that's different it is different it is different Google search engine and I'm not talking about getting clients I'm not saying that I meant for him I'm saying if you want to find a salon and communicate with that salon to get a job there your best bet is through social media I think and I didn't invent that I'm just saying that no I know I'm just saying you said some people are doing that already probably and they probably are I think that this is like that is that would be my way if I was gonna go get a job somewhere else I would start doing that first Matt you're leaving us no oh Matt's going to Texas he could take a crap anymore it sounds like you're playing on that's actually Matt's question so pissed about the resume no I already know about resumes tell me what else to use I didn't get pissed I just want to solve the problem of hairdressers bringing resumes because I never look at them so I feel like there's got to be a different way and I guarantee I'm not the only person no I'm sure it doesn't mean I'm just saying not everyone does it your way right I mean or also you can just get a very nice card made up for yourself one that nobody wants to throw away because it's the best card to get and it has your social media your email address and there yeah I throw those away too that's like a whole nother subject I'm just saying oh you know what no one throws away have condoms made and on the wrapper your Instagram let's move on to a new part the kind of rapper says I noticed your hair is a little messed up yeah all right you're welcome I didn't bet that so two more questions you asked Brian to get creative all right Royal Beauty 28 hey FSE great show by the way will there be any upcoming shows that focus strictly on color? question mark there's a lot of young women that come to the salon for ombre but we don't supply any of the new high-lift lighteners that are designed for ombre and balayage it's okay I was just I didn't know if that was trying sorry asked Dre Day 2289 that's her old Instagram name and hair style show with the couple Dre the destroyer we decided that's the joke we decided tonight that Dre asked her to change her Instagram name to Dre the destroyer let us know what you guys think do you agree because we're gonna take a vote and if everyone thinks she should then she's just people have spoken I take 666 out of mine you must change it to Dre the destroyer please put please put your votes in the comments below after the episode is done live streaming yes all right we have to finish the song we're done moving on so question color show yeah that would be fun as far as real quick I hope you're watching this the all the new cool balayage lighteners if you go back the ombre video that I did like the first video that I did way back in the day back in the wash house yeah was literally the worst lightener that you could use on an ombre and it still worked you just had to do it like right and carefully yeah I mean it was a lightening well it was a lightener like it was a very structured technique that you don't have to use when you use a balayage lightener but it was just a regular old-school powder lightener that's been around for a million years would you recommend using sulfane when using a lightener like that yeah because it's going to when it swells but I didn't in the video I know you didn't but would you like yeah I mean for a little added insurance I would probably do it now but that old video is proof that if you use a slightly different mindset and structure and approach even old-school lighteners will work for you yeah so watch that cool and the Dre and Brian color show thing could be kind of cool if we wanted to do like get together a bunch of questions we could go through like a ton of totes and then we can start making color lines send us stuff so that we can go over it talk about it yeah I mean those are videos that we can make you know what I mean so and I think we're getting good at producing these videos so anytime we come out with a different color or something or whatever we're gonna create color videos lots I have a few ideas I'll put them together on a resume okay and get them to you all right I'll let you know how that works and you're gonna take a picture the resume and post it to your Instagram all right let's pick one of these people to spin the wheel
