Yeah, okay It looks dope the wheel looks dope it does it does I would like I honestly would really like to thank Christina for making the Wheel look dope because I had it. I designed the wheel and it was literally Purple green purple green purple green and it wasn't the outlined kind of cool look to it It was like the Joker and Christina's like, you know, you got to add There's got to be more to it and then we thought about doing it black and then these colors are just really cool So she cut out all those little circle logos. So it just looks so awesome Christina what he's trying to say is it's everything as good as your fault. Yeah, why don't you stand up and spin that thing real quick? Yeah Have you been stretching Christina to do it so everyone can see her kick-ass blue hair I know actually I should while it still is kick ready. Wait stretch out your arm first Come on shoulder do some stretching do some push-ups That sounded like a race car It sounds like me coming to work every day Jesus Jaya, it sounds like every 16 year old with a Honda ouch. Oh not your car your car You have it. You have the adult. She almost gave away my nerve She did wow get ready Mizetani it's coming do All right, so exciting stuff and I hope you guys are gonna be a part of that Everyone's wants actually people asking to see Christina's hair on here. Okay, so come here Christina. Just walk over to that That's a good come sit with me. Just walk over to that get weird sit on Brian's lap lay across the table You got that camera that where's the camera seems like five minutes off of camera dude She forgets how where everything is what is this stuff back here? There you go flip it back and forth really fun. So if you saw the story on Instagram me and Christina are coloring her hair here after hours and Hayden's here and he starts deciding he wants to pretend color his hair So he fills up color bowl with water and just starts pasting it all over his head and he's got foil He's sticking it to his head. It was hilarious I'm so when I saw you post that like I had just left and I was so bummed. I wasn't here for that So my question is is when are we gonna start teaching Hayden how to do hair? Probably soon He's got a kick-ass video already. He goes he goes dad. I'm so much better at coloring hair than mom Look on your face. He didn't say that. He said that to me. Christina is pissed gone. It's about to go down He was joking and laughing About it, but yeah, someone's getting left at football practice tomorrow Leave that leave those football pads on yeah, okay Um, what colors did you use someone wants to know? Okay, so Christina put it together The color I hated Provena green yeah straight green blue There's no neon blue in there. No, it's not neon K-Pak Joyco blue was it a light blue you're not Mike's why I'm love them. I'm not like weird. I'm so they can hear you Yeah, we did dark blue at the root or the blue at the root Yeah, why aren't you answering this? She did it You were there. She's not mic'd. No, I know Because you're talking through it Heart rate is up. It's all your fault. His eye watch is like matt stop Yeah There go those white towels. It's gonna say when I had the joyco in my hair white shower White blood for like four weeks. Yeah Does your shower look like Papa's Murphoji money? Hey, but it's it's cool though It looks great. I like it. Kristen Collins. It looks gorgeous. All right so, um So what else is new anything else going on and then we'll move into the show brian just got back from vacay How does that how does that feel do you recommend? It was amazing It was incredibly relaxing. Yeah, and while I was there I discovered that I unknowingly had a lot of friends that lived around there and didn't know until the day I was coming back. Oh, well, that's like they're all matching. They're like Brian, I'm like 15 minutes away. I'm like, well, catch you on the next trip You're telling me about where were you at? Uh, I went down to the Tampa area. Okay, like I hung out It's like a a small little suburb called loots. It is l u 2z I was told not to say let's because people get upset it is loots and I would say let's pause that for a break. Um But it was good like I had a good time I went down to st. Pete's beach, which is gorgeous. It was nice to watch I've actually never watched the sunset on the water before because you have to either be on the west coast of florida or california for it Oh, yeah and Because like where I was where I used to live down in alabama. Like you just look that way. You don't actually all right Whatever, but that was my first time. So that was really cool actually sitting in the water and watching the sunset It was like the little mermaid nice Well, that's good. I'm glad you got a break. You've been very busy in the salon And I came back to an ass kick today. So I was like, all right That's why I don't take vacations. You know, it's funny. I what I love about the salon right now is Every client that I see even christina's sister. I did her hair today. She goes Wow, it's really busy for a wednesday. I'm like, this is a really busy every day Like this is like how it is now at the salon. It's just really cool to see just wait till the christmas time comes I know i'm like, I don't even know this is supposed to be like I remember when I first started working here It was like, you know, october and january Um, they closed the salon for a week so we could go on vacation because we were just dead and now it's like Never would not be able to function. Can we take a salon trip? It's like no get back to work It's just so busy I know like brian's booked through christmas right now. Yeah, I'm starting to book people through christmas I peer pressured someone into doing it yesterday Well, there's some clients that I just don't want to listen to complain about not being able to get exactly what they want I'm like, we please just booked till january now. So that I it's done because it's really sad That's only like two or three appointments for some people now. I know the year's really. Yeah. Yeah Really close. So a bunch of max people booked through christmas. That's right Even my book. I'm like 50 book for the next few weeks. I know you just started November I started doing hair here in january. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so it's cool. I'm excited about it. So uh, sad Let's get into the news news going What what? We got that Matt said don't pick your nose during this because it doesn't go away. Oh, yeah, there's no more uh picture A no no hair industry news From justin scott Now cool. Now we get a close up of your face Okay, so the news we're gonna start some uh some fun work I found hey fad you want to bring up uh kelly and mason the red hair the red hair. Oh, I want to look This was just the violent. I It's just so clean It was extremely seamless and I usually am not a huge fan of these like back-to-back pictures Just because it usually takes away like I don't know to see one really cool image But I liked it because a lot of images I wanted to pick this week I couldn't because they took the name that they want to put up so they get recognition for their work And they just plaster it over the hair Which takes away from the actual work that you put in. Yeah, I like so how kelly does it because she it's just Simple across the bottom. It's nice. She's a very clean backdrop. I'm assuming it's like out back of the shop or something Like that's stucco. So great work. Everything she posts is fantastic Yeah, so it's kind of hard to like not always grab some of their like there's there's a few people Like they always hashtag us and it's real hard like not to grab them every week No, trust me because I go through the post to do reposts of people's work and Every time she posts work, I'm like, oh, that's a perfect one and then I realize it's her again You know and I don't want to post it constantly She's that kind of hairdresser that's putting out that type of work Like four images like this a day like this isn't like, you know, the the hairdressers that just post the best that they had for the week The one picture. This is like literally She's very consistent with such a clean work. Right. So I keep forgetting to put my name on my pictures You should do that. I don't I should I just blur everything. I'm the blur guy. You're the blur guy The next one is going to be uh, andre It's the one gentleman. Oh, he's watching us right now. Yes I know he's always hanging out with us good haircut, but his work is super clean and this one I just I had to post it because he did what I enjoy when you do multiple images It's for a reason not just to have multiple images back to back and So, I mean the haircut's super clean tapered beautiful Uh, I like it because he showed the proper way to section for men's hair Usually people just hold it with a comb or just like flopped their hand up against the head Which is kind of counterproductive But you can just see like a clean section is clean work and that's all that's in this picture Is nothing to clean work that beard. It is funny because I Like five years ago everyone was saying do not put a clip in a man's haircut And it's really kind of silly to say that even in school. You know, I mean it's it's it's the job of the clip Yeah Why do guys have a thing about a clip? It's like the guy using a blow dryer. You want to teach him again Well, I wonder if it's because the hair's longer now like now you kind of need it Yeah, before it was just like don't don't put it in because no one had long hair. Yeah, maybe maybe. Yeah, I don't know Yeah, no, it's just great work Guy let's promote guy lights, but do not clip it. Do not clip I want to give you some bro lights no clips though. Somebody actually uh, up was said the neckline I like it because he taped it out the neck. I go when? Punch Pretty much how I talk is how I type Fat, can you jump back to the live camera? Yep, I'm already there. Okay. So and we'll see if that's back on there because I don't want some will tell me that I shouldn't use my But don't understand Is it is it is the ethernet plugged right into the computer working off wi-fi. Yeah, no, it's plugged right in direct Yeah, do we ever have this with the old computer? Yes, we did. Well, we were starting to that's why we're doing it with the other computer this point I'm oily as shit Do um, does it look like it's going again? We're live. It says we're still live. Well, yeah, we're still streaming No, I know we're still streaming, but I was just saying that there is a chance that Everything we're saying will go back up on the internet, right? So brian announcing that he's oily as shit Well, they're watching they can see yeah, it's like a reflection Nothing trying to find the live feed It's showing. We'll keep us together And we're good. Okay. All right Okay, so back to the name that I butchered. What was that again brian? I'm gonna go with nam wen hair nam wen hair again another Another perfect example of the back-to-back image that usually I hate but it's just extremely clean and the same But I think I'm glad they did that because it makes a little heart in the middle With their shoulder it is cute. I like again how they but the one big thing I loved about this Is they showed the hair ombre as wearing it straight and wearing it all nice and curled and wanded That's why I thought you would like exactly because suck it a lot of people What they do is they they do these hairstyles these great fans because they want it up so tight They have these curls where you can't really appreciate to see if it was a clean application Or if they're just hiding it So I think this is beautiful work on both ends of the spectrum I think it's really pretty the color itself because you can see like up at the top How dark her natural is dark. She's really dark And there's no line demarcation either and what I like about it is yeah, even though the ends are a warm color It's such a pretty warm color. It's not brassy. Right. It's not a oh, this is all we got Yeah, let's hope for the best with this toner because there's a difference between brassy and warm right And I think warm colors get such a bad trademark because of being Considered brassy. Yeah, sweet. Yes awesome And the last one of the work we're gonna go with af hair designs Okay, this I don't know It's just you went from that super super dark rooted look and then to one nice clean palette of hair And usually when you have people who try to get the rooted Brown to the blonde they just usually wind up frying everything because they have no common sense So I just thought this is like a clean application of light in there, right, you know, it's just the end work It looks pretty good. You know it looks The ends on both beautiful af The ends on both don't look too Yeah, actually I want to say looking at both images back like side to side The second one doesn't look as fried as the first one looked like they took their time Finishing and using like proper products. Yeah, and it's just seamless. That's really good. That's uh, that's all the work we got Hey, thad you want to throw up that last picture of brine and myself I can't believe that was so long ago. What's up? Where's he going? That was so long ago It was 52 weeks ago, right What the hell is he going? I have no idea He said to me earlier. He had a potty break. I'm gonna do something Don't ask any questions But you started asking questions That saying hearing that from him would make me piss in my pants And we're done. Good night. So uh, so I don't know what's happening, but we um Just went home Justin left This was where he quit. He's taking out his iphone All right He needs to get one because I tried to text him earlier and it failed again. I know I feel bad because I have to Put okay group text, but I can't group text him. All right. What is this? I don't know. Did you just tell your boss to shut up? Now what's the who you were heard? Okay, how long ago was that picture taken 52 weeks ago? Okay, so one year ago today I was about to leave for california about to hop on a plane fly away go live somewhere else and work at another school and Probably hate everyone there too I love you guys Okay, but and then you're working at that, you know at the station You're like, oh, why are you going to california's come work here? And I thought that was like the cruelest joke anyone had ever played on me I'm like, wow, I like him. He's a great teacher. That was just mean But you weren't being mean you're being honest So I got you guys a gift a little surprise a little thank you Like the tradition that we do here That's hilarious. That's so funny. I can't see it. You know, it's cool Just say no and we're breaking stuff. Muscles are happening right now Look at brian takes it right FCE says no to kelvin I walked over there and I was like, listen, I need you to make a cake. I need you to put california But they cross through it. I need to put fse a little heart. How much did you give her? I gave her three weeks notice. I don't mess around. Wow That's good. We do like three days up for a birthday The night before what an awesome cake. So I got it like chocolate stuff, but the outside's mint because I didn't get to enjoy my mint cake on my birthday Oh, all right Yeah, but yeah, so this is uh, my you know year later you guys didn't get sick of me yet and uh, thank you That's awesome. That's really sweet. I love this Sorry, california So it's really been a year since you've been here It's been a year since I walked up to the door and matt said why are you going to california? Come work here Okay, when that ball got rolling and then I showed up in november just never left Fair enough. That's what you have to do. You just got to never leave Yeah, keep that in mind because one of the questions later is how do you hire people? Wait till they come in to visit. Uh, no, it's awesome. That's so cool That's you know, it's funny a year later. I had no idea. That's what was gonna happen That just goes to show. I don't know you I guess You expected a fire or the cops I thought I remember his first day Yeah, and your reaction at the end of the day was priceless. What did I say? You're like wow, so you don't have that like grace period of you know warm up. You're just you just go right in Oh, yeah, and I was like, yeah, and then I looked you and I was like, but wait, what if this is me warming up? What if there's just more to come? Yeah All right, well that is really awesome. That is really awesome. Thank you. Thanks. Justin. Hey, I want to celebrate it I can't believe it's been a year. Yeah So and we have one more topic to talk about. Oh, what's that? Yeah This is a little A little uh, a little fun thing. We talked about it earlier. You and I a little litty with jack and diam Yes, how did you know? I don't know just just something told me try me to sing some more So this is I saw a cool article on modern salon real quick 10 tips to selling retail like hot cakes Love hot some hot cakes. I could wrote it. So you could that's what we're gonna do What is uh, what's one thing you do brian to help sell retail? What's your one big thing like a hot cake like a hot cake like a hot cake Yeah, um Educate that's probably the biggest thing. I just talked the shit out of it and why it's good why I picked it for them so that even Even when there's those times of like But last time you said choose this product which I am pretty good at avoiding I can still make them go. All right. Well, so maybe I'll just have both then Yeah, yeah, like well your hair got better. So now use this. Yeah, you're welcome How about you fad we usually get to you last what do you what do you usually do for product sale except for educate? What do you think's a big one? Only sell to attractive people Yeah, I'm still brines. No, um Brian kind of stole mine right there. There's other ways. Come on, bro. Um No, I've always felt that thanks Christina I always felt that uh, and That this really rang true and I learned this uh when I was in college that people hate to be sold things But they love to buy so if you just explain to them like why You you're using it just like what Brian is saying that they're going to want it so badly that they're going to ask for it instead of Feeling like like you sold them something Good call fad. Good call fad It's minty. It's amazing what happens All right, what else what about you draft um I mean my big thing is I have a lot of people that come in with pictures And they talk about that they want their hair to look like that. So just explain why they need it To create the picture Perfect. That's one of consultation Like education was like dragged out. Um, one cool thing that As like a business owner, you would want to do is have it actually look appealing Right You want the setup and the display to be extremely nice because nobody wants to come in like rummage to a bucket of You know bottles to be like, oh, do I need this that like they want to look they want to see They want to grab a touch and poke at and buy a consultation I want to know what salon just has it like in like a little bucket and it says here's all of our product Find out what you need. You never know. It's a grab bag. It happens. Um, Another thing another big one that I was always a fan of is like selling what you believe in like Enjoy a product that you like to work with that you personally use Then sell that because you'll actually be a lot more happy to sell something that you're a fan of rather than trying to like Just push Garbage on people just because it's there. Yeah So I think in a salon people really really need to get on the same page I think it's always good to double up on the new product like the new the thing that's the new cool thing because that's what hairdressers are going to talk about anyways, so instead of buying like decide I don't think people pay attention enough to what they do sell You know and what they don't I got more more so what they don't sell because if you look at like From a retail standpoint, I wouldn't keep buying in you know Extra body shampoo because we haven't sold any in forever, you know But whatever the new and now product is that's what you should be right load up on yeah load up on it Because that's what everybody's talking about. I mean you got to keep the the classics I think but but make sure that you load up on those new ones because that's what's going to push through And then the problem is you load up on the new product And you sell out of it so quick and then you know Then you're out of it So I think it's good to to overstock on What's new and then you don't have that silly sale basket in your salon when you're trying to get rid of stuff Another thing is like sell the products that the tools that you use as well Because that way they see using them every time they come in a salon They know that's a reliable tool that you're going to pick up and use on every person that day Yeah, they'll usually want to buy and like referral incentive is really cool So it's like a bigger list than just trying to educate It kind of goes through every spectrum of the salon as like a manager and just like a shampoo person and nice cutters Yeah, I think that's really cool. I'm out of salon And uh, the only other thing of news I have is what we're doing on monday. What are we doing monday? The hell's monday. What are we doing on monday? Well monday? I'm going up to uh, To New York anybody can come. Yeah, I already said I was going for um, donald scott. I'm filming donald scott Oh, yeah Yeah, yeah, so I'm filming an education video using donald scott He's gonna do an fsc video which would be really cool. Yeah So with the carving comb he's going to talk about it, but he's got models. He rented out a salon So we're going to do one haircut model and then he's going to do like a product knowledge thing And i'm going to film it for the website. So it'd be fun. Justin said he wanted to come Uh, thad said he might want to come I always loved using their tools and then since he made a instagram Which if you do not follow him go because he's he has like no followers, but he's one of the exactly I love him. I think he just started his instagram because he's yeah He went on like blew mine up and like this one men's kind of super proud of like you were posted and he loved it So it was really cool to see something like that like yeah showing my work So if you're looking for somebody that's growing and donald scott I would I would tag him in your photos as well Yeah, it definitely uses hashtags the ads on him because again, he whoever's running that Is very diligent very active. Yeah, what they're posting and they're super, you know, super awesome about it. Yeah Yeah, and uh, that's the news. All right Should we do the trending tresses dreya? Yes. All right thad kick it Fun on celebrity hair changes Here's trending tresses with dreya bowland Remember dreya it's zoomed in on you right now. Oh, it is. Oh, yeah Okay, so you can't have a you can't have a look of like No bitch face. Yeah, okay always smiles now All right, so I bet you wish you put that lipstick on now Sometimes I just don't put on lipstick um So trending dresses is very short tonight, but um first one we have is shyla buff Who uh, is it labouf or labouf buff buff? Okay, all right Bluff labouf like jesse and I labouf So he went from being he's got leg tattoos. Yeah You can see that. It's probably when he went crazy in new york and photo homeless guy That's the only thing you can take from that photo because All right, so he went from having all the tattoos like creeping out of his shorts and t-shirt He also lost the finger on uh, transformers. Okay. This is dreya's turn. Thank you. Justin All right, so he went from having that castaway look with the shaggy hair and the beard to shaving everything bald So he has no facial hair and no hair on top of his head. It's pretty intense At least he has eyebrows. Yeah, he does have eyebrows. Um, supposedly it is for a movie role, but I can't remember which one Like literally you had one job I'm just kidding. I just need to report on what he did. I don't need to report on why Um Really you'd be like that. Yeah, it's actually the life of that for the beard. Where'd you hear about it, dreya? Something I hear about it. Um, I heard about it from brian Actually, both of these are from brian this week Teamwork I'm sitting here looking I'm like training dresses. What's this saying christina? So, um, the second one I mean brian still I and team but there isn't brian It's true. It's a capital I brian has a habit of sending me trending dresses late at night All right, and uh, we both agree on this one that we both love this version of jesson beaver's blonde. It's a much cooler tone I wish I could check jesson's heart right now A much cooler tone than what it was the last time he went blonde like last time he didn't quite get it light enough This is that nice beigey blonde Yeah, the blonde tones good looking at this really makes me want to reenact fight club Where, uh, charred leto just has his face like bashed in totally I mean the hair really just embraces me and want to beat his face even more I think that this to dreya is so late at night. I was like The bebes And I answered but but the bebe right there we go actually goes. Oh my god. I love it Like I have to say like bebes used to annoy me not so much anymore I still want to drag him by my truck down a dark road. I hope I'm liking the music He's putting out, you know I like his little image I hope whoever his like the person who was hired to redo his image Is so filthy rich now because they've actually done a really good job. I know he's always dressing up. I mean you're never going to sell Justin right, but No, I know but I'm saying like Like he had a really nasty spell there for a while where like you were a bad person for liking him because of the stuff he was doing And no, I'm looking at you. I thought that was just when he first started you were No, I know I was sober when I did my stupid things You don't need alcohol to be doodling done things Just put them into a word Celebs. All right. All right. So that's it for training. That's the tresses. That's the tresses. All right. Cool. Yeah, all right All right The third segment What's happening on fse social media fse social media submit your questions to brian hair on our facebook community Or by using the hashtag free salon education Dotcom Dotcom Uh, all right, so we put it up on instagram today. We got a bunch of great questions I want to try to get to as many as we can before they tell me to shut up So the first one I guess is really one for you guys. What would be the benefit? Uh someone hbe617 asked Your assistance 1099 versus w2. I saw this question. Um I I'd never been a 1099 assistant myself. Yeah, I don't you have yeah, you have and how did you get paid? Well, you get paid a check you get paid a check right, but how did you earn money? You can claim anybody is freelancing right, but like So I guess you're just paying her hourly just like they're just not worried about our tax. You don't pay I guess we could just ask her because she's actually done it. Yeah, I was commissioned. Um As I'm not sure it was quite legal the way they did it. Yeah at all like no Um Because it royally screwed me on taxes completely and I didn't know like until I went and did my taxes that they're like The accountant my like my dad was going through everything and he's like this isn't this isn't okay Well, thankfully at that point I was already start working for you guys So I was like great now. I don't have to deal with that again next year. Yeah, I think um 1099 is not it is Commission-wise what's illegal is you can't just pay commission, but what I'm saying is assistance What commission are you earning as an assistant? You could pay somebody um a salary? Yeah, you owe a lot of money for But It was one of those things like she paid us this much and now she's off mic. It's okay. We're um They paid us off a commission and then they took um A certain percentage off the commission for products and whatnot So it would have been more beneficial if I had been 1099 and I was providing my own products Because then I would have had a tax write-off at the end of the year And I would have had something to show for it, but Yeah, no, yeah, but um But really to answer so to answer the question I would say I don't think you should 1099 any employee unless it's a temporary thing Like if you're temporarily employing someone which a salon wouldn't be doing that, right? Like we got 1099s for being a self-contracted Stylist I get paid 1099s in quite a few different areas of my life But that's because I don't work full-time for all these companies. I do things for them So I'm a 1099 employee But if I was to be on their payroll constantly then it would be w2 So, um, I would I would say w2 it would be our feeling. I think mutual here. Yeah Ever again. Yeah All right All right, cool. Sorry. I'm answering your question real fast Uh, okay. So next we've got Uh, lots of letters. I don't know. I'm like scared to mess up someone's name anymore. I'm not you want me to try? No I'll butcher everyone's name. I'm good at it. You can't read I can read You're the one who went to school in Louisiana Alabama We were 49 thank god for mississippi Send all of your louisiana letters to just 43 north mainstream justin scott at And for malibami you can try to send me one Uh, all right How can I make sure How can I make sure when i'm cutting i'm cutting exactly on the guideline? Uh, i'm in the sculpting phase of cosmetology school before I go into the student salon And honestly, this is something i'm having trouble with when I cut i'm trying to make sure i'm cutting on the guideline But when I comb the hair up, it's uneven. I don't want to sound dumb, but maybe I need different shears I definitely I thought this was a mat question when I read it. Yeah, um, I don't think To if you're losing your guideline, you're probably over directing the hair too much at one point So what I would do is smaller sections focus on your over direction So if you're pulling the hair directly out from the head, whether it's up or down Um, the reason that people lose a guide is they grab too much hair at once Um, and if it's not too much hair at once, they're they're pulling their guide to the new hair that they want to cut So it's diffusing the guide. I think a lot of people Just take next time you do a haircut cut a line And hold it out straight see that line and then just over direct it slightly and hold the same exact cut up And you'll see that it's diffused it gets broken up as soon as you over direct it That's just how hair works. I like the word diffused. Um, you do So that's that's probably because I remember in beauty school They really beat into your head don't cut until you see the guy so I could see where that's a little stressful Yeah, if you can't find it always one in there. Yeah, so I mean you shouldn't cut without a guide I mean, I like to live on the edge. Wait, you don't just look and say well I've been cutting about this much off the hair. So if I just cut that much off this section Wait, that doesn't work. I'm what let me check your heart rate Um No, no, oops I was gonna say the other tip to add to what matt said was also working in front of a mirror Because I know a lot of When you're in school and you're in those beginning stages in the classrooms, you're not always standing in front of a mirror You're standing in a group. You're working Not in front of a mirror For all intensive purposes You have more control over your body and you can see your sectioning a little bit easier If you're standing in front of a mirror so you can just have that control of section control guidelines All of that and one last thing is the simplest But nobody ever thinks to do this in beauty school and I remember used to walk around with one in my pocket The hair gets dry as hell on mannequins. Yeah So they get that first section and they're going at it and they're combing 14 times before they make a cut Then they're combing the next section and then by the time they get done with like the half of the back of the head Half of it's dry. Yeah, like the rest of the hair is bone dry and that's us barely damp But meanwhile the first section was soaking wet So I think as they keep just like back to basics and remember just clean sections mirror water There'll be a lot better. Awesome. You walked around with a spray bottle in your pocket Well, I walk around spray bottle in my pocket in my jacket and I would either spray them or I would spray a bottle in your pocket Yeah, spray them in the face. No, I No, no, you think I'm kidding, but that was So many complaints about me because I would spray them, but do you forget they just gave complaints about you never But I'll say this once they did graduate. They would tell me all the time. I listen We hated you for like a year, but thank you. Yeah. No, that's the That's only once who graduated and actually got their license the rest of them are just doing the rest of them Still hate you. Yeah, I'm still hate me, you know sell somewhere. I could have been a cosmetologist if it weren't for Justin All right, what else? Yeah, what's up from Allison hdz? Uh Get to the question. How do you do a consultation for a color client? Dre? I kind of thought of you this on this one Uh They want this amazing transformation, but they want to know the cost of it Maybe you need more color than you thought or maybe an extra process Can you walk through what you would say to your clients? Or do a role play I try so hard to have a proper consultation But I end up not charging for extra toning or extra oleplex because I didn't realize I would need it I mean, I I think you're good about this because I I mean I work next to you a lot and hear you actually go over this very Cut and dry, but still general enough that nobody's pissed when they see what you are charging them My number one thing is I try to quote them much higher than what I end up doing because I'd rather say oh, sorry. I didn't need as much It's less Then come to the register and then be shocked that it's you know 50 dollars more than what I originally quoted them because if I misquote them I kind of feel like that's on me. Yeah, and you have to try and I have to charge them what I quoted them um Take note as to when you're looking at working with different hair types Whether how much color you're going to need for that change We have a very simple system here. Matt has exactly What you get in a single color what you get for partial foil half foil full foil So I know with color bowls how many I'm going to need for each of those services I know realistically How much I'm going to tone with how much That's going to be sometimes, you know, it falls into that Exact quote starting at but more than likely you're going to need at least For a major transformation two to three extra color balls See, I just don't ever give an exact. Yeah, like I can't I'm going to say I can ballpark you But this is the breakdown and this is why yeah, like this is what it costs to do this If I need to use more that says it all the time I hear um You know if I need to go more just so that you know Like today, I had to go mix an extra bowl of color But I let her know I'm like I could stop here and your roots would be done Or I could go mix up this extra color It's going to be a couple blocks more, but then I'll be able to run it through because That's what it took to do it. Cool. And she's like, okay. Yeah Yeah, I like to tell them what I think it's going to be and then say but If we need to use more It'll be that that's like the one girl I come in here She wanted an exact price and her hair was this like beat up muddy red color She wanted this beautiful light Pink lavender and she would have done right there and wanted an exact price where I said I can't Yeah, you know, and I'm not one of those guys who's gonna say, okay, let's sit in the chair and do it And you only have a hundred bucks. Let's see what you can do like I'd rather just not Cheap out on them and just not ruin their hair or have my name attached to a horrible head of hair That's gonna lose me more guests than have one guest in my chair Right well, I think Like all I was saying is like I try and give them a general borrow parks exactly If it's within 10 to 15 dollars of higher or lower That's fine. But I know as a person when I Go and get services done I would rather them Tell me more And then when I get to the register then be like, oh, it's not that much. Nope. That's my favorite Yeah, then I feel better about it. And then I usually pre-book Sweet delish awesome and speaking of that conversation. Um, we had some drama Happened in the uh, fse social community over the last couple days. What did I miss? Do I'll fill you in more details. I know I was the same. I was like, why? No, no, nothing. I was like, I didn't do anything. I was like, we're all worried that we just I'm like, I just bought you a cake. Don't fire me If you fire me, you don't get a piece of cake You guys have no idea how hard the hammer drops around here when the cameras aren't rolling We're actually terrified of Christina. We have to pretend like she's funny when the show is going The laser beams are just shot from her face right now. I actually just crap my pants Okay, so um, I'll get I'll break down more. We had Okay, let's keep going. We had a non professional on the community Who started? Oh, I know. Yeah, so we'll talk about that later, but um, I got the messaging you did. Yeah How do you think that was gonna end? I am so upset. It wasn't part of that So, uh, so we had non professional on the community my fault because we get A lot of requests every day to be a part of the community and because of the workload that I have taken on I just kind of approve people, you know, and then if I see something that's non professional I get it rid of it. I delete it and I ban the person right away So me and Christina have been meeting We're trying to meet every day for an hour in the morning Just sit down both of us and we go through the game plan of what we're gonna do for that day to get done Yeah, I was gonna say you guys it's a meeting like no, you don't understand Is this coffee time so in the morning when we wake up I roll over and we have a meeting. No Hello, is that what these kids are calling these days? The morning meeting Isn't the sad part that that is really what we're doing is so, um Here's your coffee. No, so we have it. We have in the morning set We take our son to school and then we go somewhere and we meet for an hour And we talk about fse. We talk about the salon and we go over what's going to make the day You know run better and whatever so we came up with some solutions. Christina is now you don't have to put that on me Christina is now An admin on the community. She's she's going through Sweating Yeah, so check your watch. We've completely ruined this now. Let's see what my heart rate is I'll let you know in a second. It's so sick. So Christina people are asking is that morning meetings where babies come Oh Yes I can't even take this. I gotta go He's gonna walk home. No free will tonight. We're uh, we're out of here. What are you talking about? It's so early. We're doing great I know so Let me get seen if this you know Everything we know about him is a lie. He actually doesn't work with any of these companies He just checked his heart rate. It said bye. Yeah It says I believe you need a meeting said you're done. Yeah. Um, all right, so it's time for the daily meeting Anyways, Christina is blushing very hard. Christina face for life is calling you out. Christina is admin now She's going through she has gone through and is Profile searching everyone she's profiling their hairdressers So I eat facebook stalking if you want to be part of our community Make sure you have something that says you're a hairdresser in your profile or about you There's no reason why you shouldn't anyways, but now everybody who's watching who's not Is going to go on there and well, but I mean if they if they're trying that hard then fine They can be a part of it. I don't but um When you're done, I want to piggyback off of that what I was going to say I wanted to sort of warn everybody you can go right ahead. I'm yeah, I'm you're good You need the blood to leave your face for a minute. I gotta get these cameras off me I'm gonna just sit back and relax for a second. No, I just wanted to throw out. Um Really quickly I noticed this weekend I got like 30 friend requests this weekend and because we do the show same thing like It's not always people. I know so I'm like, all right except except except and then After like the second day because it was probably like 12 Per night I'd wake up and have another cluster and I was like, oh, that's crazy. But whatever I noticed the the second day that none of them Have me I had no mutual friends with all of them. Yeah, so I started going through and noticing that Like 90 of them were from Davenport, Florida. They're all different ages races Like completely and they they had pictures. It wasn't just like a profile picture. Like they fleshed it out a little bit But we're all from Davenport, Florida And then that same day I got a message from a couple of different hairdressers friends of mine that don't know each other Saying that they had gotten friend requests and their only mutual friend was me So keep I keep an eye out like there might be some sort of scam going on right now that I think is targeting us so Keep an eye out. I mean, they don't again. They don't show anything that looks like they're a hairdresser Yeah, so I just wanted to use this to be like look out I'm sorry to anyone that lives in Davenport, Florida because you're all gonna be your friend for a while. Yeah Uh, but just keep an eye out like if you really don't know anyone like just I know it sounds don't take candy from them Yeah, there's a weird thing going on right now and Now that facebook knows everything that we're doing That's what kind of what I don't want to hack my email. Don't hack my facebook Exactly. All right. Uh, so we'll just I feel like we didn't get through that many. I feel bad Let's do one more question. Let's do two more hair questions. Two more. Okay. Hair question. I'll get to I'm going to film another episode of the business show On friday morning So because I want to get to some more of those and there was some good business questions on there But let's just do some hair one so we can all right. Here's a nice hair one and actually it's from jerk face for life Well, she's been wanting him to say that the entire show. No, I know and actually she does have a good Question, is it about how do you get your male clientele? Excited and into taking care of their hair proper shampoo styling maintenance I know there's a lot of different ways to go about this so I figured it would be a good one for everyone to Justin's pretty great at this. Um, I just get excited about their hair Like I I kind of feel them out. I see what like they're into but like every guest who sits in my chair I'm just so excited to work with them, you know, and what do you want to do today? Yeah, and you know, I kind of like feel them out for what they want But I mean I had one guy who came in here When he first started to get his hair done maybe like five months ago I just short it's on the side spiky on top now This guy is like the most perfect coft pompadour out of all of my guests And he is so about it like bought the huge tin arousal buys the proper shampoos and it's just I think you just have to be excited about like I said earlier like I am fully behind every product I use on them I love everything we have on our shelves. Yeah, you know every products I grab to use on him And I think it's just that consistent Excitement just for being happy about doing their hair. Hey like do you use this? I uh Use a blow dryer in the morning. No, do you have one in the house? Yeah, well, how do you wear your hair? Oh, well, I just throw some gel and go like no, you know stop, you know And I think that it also helps that Not that I have a hat on but like I'm a guy who usually has good hair and like I'm excited about to have You good hair. So, you know, just like kind of break them of all these things and I think it's little by little Every time you see them you get them more excited to like use a proper shampoo I want to try this pomade. What do you think about it? They come back? I love the pomade Well, this is this how I'm using the pomade has it work if you try this way So I think it's like every time and instead of trying to like go everything at them at once You just little by little you break them down and After a few visits like they're super stoked to just do their hair the right way And that's another thing too. I feel that a lot of men like I've said in my other videos are so overlooked That way they just come on in have a see Yeah, you're getting through your 15 minutes. Yeah by they don't they don't have a proper consultation They don't ask what they like what they don't like they don't ask what shampoos use I don't ask what conditioners they use what products what tools So I feel that a lot of men get male guests are overlooked As being guests instead of just a quick 10 15 minute haircut in and out the door Whereas they're a guest. They will buy your products. They will buy your tools. They will do what you tell them to You just have to educate them. So I mean, I feel consultation's the right way to go with any of that That was a solid answer. Yeah Yeah Yeah, respect boom drop that mic. I had um This guy that when I worked in maryland, he came to the salon middle-aged uh on his third wife multiple kids like Wealthy man, right? He sits down in my chair and I go, okay, why don't you tell me a little bit about your hair And what you like what you don't like and he goes well first off I have more hair product than the average woman. I blow dry my hair With two separate brushes I have a round brush for on top and a paddle brush for on the side. I wonder why you had three wives They got sick of that crap. You got a Justin now. They tried to use his hair product And And he went into exact detail as to how he expected me to cut his hair. Wow That's always fun. Hey, man. I like watching mat go through that When are you getting more uh men's cutting video the best part was I did I am I'm so and so maybe you shouldn't come to me anymore And if you guys out there could just encourage all of these guys to start to pick up the camera Hey, hey, hey, yeah, what did I do yesterday? You did Yeah, I'm a phone on your phone. I've been at a town since you said that you were going to teach us how to do it So he hasn't taught us we're going to learn it because then everybody's going to start filming each other and uh putting putting down some videos I'm trying. Hey, you guys are going to get I've been making an effort on before and afters I just haven't posted them yet. Okay. All right. Cool. No, I'm happy. I think I really want to take that video I'll make a video for the youtube about it. Yeah, maybe we could do that You guys are going to get a video. I'm going to give all my before and afters to Justin and he's going to Get them instagram ready for me sweet. All right Okay Somebody has a good question. Which one of the Mizetani's is a good multitasker I know that everyone has its own unique purpose, but as a newbie I can only get one pair for now. Yeah I I answered this question uh to somebody else actually today um on I think the community and What I said was They wanted to know dry cutting in what was good for dry cutting and wet cutting And the breakdown of that is if you want a scissor to do The we talk about blade strength, right? So a precision scissor is not going to be really any larger than a five and a half Really, I mean you can cut precision hair with longer scissors, but the blade gets weaker the longer that it is so just make sure that if you want an all-around scissor I would go around a six inch scissor and uh You know blacksmith fit is a great scissor um The you know db 20 scissor depends on what you're trying to invest in Uh and how much money you have to spend but if you're looking for an entry level that's good at everything I think a six inch blacksmith fit scissor would be a perfect scissor to go with Um, and then if you want to invest a little more money, I would go db 26 I think there's a your's is 6.7, right? I have a 5.7. I don't know if that's honestly I think the 5.7 is definitely more on the precision Area and yours is pretty long Really 6.7 is pretty long phrasing So when I have a meeting And there goes matt's blood pressure I mean I do the wheel. Yeah, I feel like like I said you're on the point Yeah, like anything over six is really going to be used for a lot of like you can multitasking scissor or comb You know stuff like that. I can't take I can't look at your I quit tonight. I can't I know I just go eat some cake and have a meeting every week.
