Splitting Hares, the Hair Dressers podcast starts now featuring Matt Beck, Christina Cavalcanti, Brian Hare, Brea Bolland, Thaddeus Bolland and Justin Scott. Hey guys, this is Matt Beck from FreeSalonEducation.com here with episode 74. Somehow I jumped ahead in the future and I said it was episode 77. I'm a liar. The internet was trying to tell us that this morning. Well, yeah, yeah. So the reason, I don't know, the reason that we are online, have some fun tonight, have a late night edition. Christina made tacos for everyone. Yes, she did. With this delicious Brazilian guacamole, it was incredible. So we are fed. We have some beverages and now we're going to talk some hair. So we have a lot of cool things on the show. So first off, I want to say thank you to Millennium Systems International. Awesome salon software. I could spend the whole weekend with them in Chicago. MinervaBeauty.com gave us all cutting stools for the Chicago show that we could give out to everyone. So that was really fun as well. And we had demandforce.com slash FreeSalonEducation. I hung out their booth for a little bit. I made my rounds at the show with all the people that support the podcast. So that's that. We have also Mizetani Scissors on shopfse.com. If you want those, you can go get them. Heck yeah. I would advise on that. So yeah. Yeah. It's true. That's true. Everybody wants some science shares. So we had a lot of fun in Chicago. Me and Thad were there. We did podcast interviews. I got to sit down with Ivan Zoot, the clipper guy who is a really interesting character. He kind of introduced himself to me right when we got there. He was the first interview. It was 10 o'clock in the morning. And so I'm talking to him for a little bit. And then as soon as he sat in front of that microphone, he became a very animated character. He exploded into energy and he had a pirate's eye patch that he was wearing and gold coins and he was doing curls. Justin will love this. He was doing curls with developer bottles. I've heard about all the interviews you did. Thad was telling me about him on Tuesday and I could not wait to see the interviews. Like I always look forward to seeing who you interact with and how it goes. But this event just seemed like it was a topper of them all. Yeah, it was really funny. I guess becoming a personal trainer as well because he wants to do the whole route of not just teaching hairdressers how to do hair better but how to take care of themselves. So he's got this whole thing going on. But he said if you're not busy and you want to get some exercise in, just curl your developer bottles. I actually did some curls during processing times today. Yeah, I'm sure you did. I talked to him. Then I sat down with Josh XO who at this point is a pretty funny guy, friend of mine and he just... Our interview started off just normal. We were talking back and forth. Basically I was asking him the same questions. I kind of ask everyone and then of course in his own way he flips the whole entire interview. He starts interviewing me. We go back and forth. We're talking about people walking by and it turned into like a 45 minute interview conversation. So it was a good time. I'm looking forward to editing that and putting it out. Then I had Wayne Grund from Surface Hair. He and then Andrew Carruthers from Sam Villa Hair Education. So it was really fun talking to him. So I can't wait for you guys to see that interview. And then the next morning I ended up doing an interview with Tabitha Coffee and it was really fun. So great connections, great people that we met at the show. We have a recap video. Then I'm going to play in a little bit. So I want to get Thad's opinion. What did you think about the show? I think this show I had the most fun. It was a great show. For starters like when you walk in like you notice that it's not like it's probably about twice the size if not three times the size. Yeah it was a really big show. The energy there was really good as well as just having fun like with everybody that we got to sit down with it and talk with and then hanging out with Josh was a blast. Yeah we ended up we went to a barcade which was really fun. Those are always a good time. He took us to like a local Mexican restaurant place which was cool and then we ended up at a heavy metal bar after that called the Flatiron. So it was a cool part of Chicago that I had never seen and we had a good time. So the show was really cool. I would definitely recommend anybody that's in Chicago to check it out. Every major manufacturer was there. It was like you could see them skipping some of the other shows but this one must be really important. They must get a lot of exposure from it because everybody was there. I mean Paul Mitchell, Wella and then even like the smaller vendors like Sunlight's Bolliage was there. Candy Shaw was there. Ola Plex was there. There was I mean everybody was there. Yeah when that told me again like how awesome it was. I was kind of jealous. I was just trying not to get mugged a weekend in Jamaica Queens. Oh yeah you were at a tattoo convention. Yeah so he so yeah it's definitely a recommended show. If you guys haven't checked it out we've been to we did ISSE at the beginning of the year then we did New York and we did this one and this was definitely this one stood out. Absolutely. Yeah so anything else do you want to get into should we play the video from the show? I feel like since we're talking about it we might as well play. Okay let's see it. Yeah because I've been like holding back like lines from this weekend like I told Christina. Yeah we gotta turn up the sound on this one because no one's seen this yet and this the interviews were helped by our friend Josh XO so I hope you guys enjoy this video. Let's let's roll that. So we are checking out my belly because that's worth that was aiming. America's beauty show in Chicago.

I'm just doing some hair Just what would you like some nice long layers or just a trim Welcome to Matt and Josh's Hermagination There's the recap of the AVS show Through the eyes of Josh Exo That was fantastic Once he had the microphone it was pretty much It was over Does he still have it? It was actually a souvenir for Josh I'm actually channeling my inner mat back tonight I found this in the back So the only problem was with the person that he said Do you get breadsticks? Their name is Olivia Garden It looks like Olive Garden But it was just funny It was funny watching him walk around That's what I liked about it was that you actually got to see not only a lot of the show but a lot of those people were friends and stuff Funny how uncomfortable he made all of them It made everything lighter because normally when you do an interview at a show everything is so corporate and whatever and he did not allow that to happen So it was really funny Tonight on the show we have a competition for this hair competition So we're going to pull that up I think everybody pretty much got it on their computer It's on trending tresses So if we Let's get into feedback from last week then we'll go into the competition How about before feedback from last week we talk about gifts from the people who normally give us feedback So you want to talk about yours and I'll get this one ready So I get a package in the mail yesterday and it's from our wonderful fan who's a big fan of me wearing bow ties She sent me a bow tie If I was wearing a collar tonight I would have this on right now but I don't have a collar on right now So I'll just wait and save it for when I need it It's really cute and I'm excited to wear it and she made it herself So it says a little something made by me to thank you for FSC I don't even know if she meant to rhyme it But she did It's really cool and it's cool that she knows things about you So we also got another box in the mail a few days ago from Amara Stuart So this box we get it and we're not sure what it is could have been something dangerous and it has loads of Starbucks gift cards which was fantastic A really cool card Do you want to read that?

That was the best feedback from last week That's a good sign Alright, so thank you Thank you very much At least that's what you just said. I'm glad you like the bow tie Awesome. I do Alright Also, more feedback from last week Let's see You should wear it Sunday We'll see. I'm going to wear it on the show I want to wear it either on the show or when I do my next class Last week we got some really great feedback We've got people Where was the one that I was looking for Wait, that's the wrong one Sorry, I'm coming We don't do printouts anymore so it's harder for me to track it down I'm just going to stare at you Alright Let's all make really deep eye contact Anybody else could help That's fine He has all week to pull this up It's only been his job for 72 episodes That's true Alright, 76 I got somebody I was going off of our Facebook because we have a few questions this week Some of them people you guys handled just helping each other out A couple of ones I just want to hit on Somebody asked In coloring, what do they mean by tone on tone Guys Well, yeah, because some of these people answered and they did level on level answers rather than tone on tone Tone on tone is when they've got a 6 n say and then you add some sort of dimension either higher or lower also in the n family Because there were a couple of people that answered and said doing like a 6n with a 6rb and that's different Taking things within the same family of tone and then creating dimension that way It's just a good way to add a very natural look It's different than doing a warm and a cool If you keep it in the same family then that's what's going to make it look a little bit more natural Excellent We had somebody post up They came across an ad of in-store Schwarzkopf I can never say Schwarzkopf Schwarzkopf At-home hair color At-home like market right now I see commercials everywhere They're Sassoon People are sad Sassoon released that Actually, I'm going to say they re-released their At-home color line shortly after he died Yeah, but Sassoon Sassoon is a different thing because Sassoon was bought a long time ago Yeah, so that's not really It's not the same It's not the brown bottle from when I was a kid Yeah, it's not It was sold a long long time ago and then that So that's the Sassoon brand that way which is the whole store thing But then there's the Sassoon like academies and all that which is a completely different thing So can't be too upset about that but Schwarzkopf is still the same company Yeah, bummer Somebody asked a pretty good question Actually a customer What's a customary tip percentage for clients to give us? This was funny all the answers on this one Yeah, I saw some people I thought some people were going to like get down Because not everybody gets tipped in the industry around the world So you have to really like I don't know, when you're posting things now you're posting things to the world You're not just posting them to people in the United States So we're always expecting a 25% tip or something crazy but really we need to look at it and just be thankful for tips that we get because I know the tips I used to get and the tips I get now are completely different People used to just throw money around and still nowadays they don't I mean they still are very very generous but it's not the same as it used to be I mean I remember I had one lady come in that one time and she gave me like $200 tip I had a guy who owns a restaurant in town He would come in and get his haircut like Every two months it would get really long He'd come in and throw $100 bill plus the money for the cut That was like crazy times Nowadays it's not as much like that $100 tip has now dropped down to like 30 bucks So it's just different now Yeah, so it And I also think too it really depends on the service because if you're spending it certain things you do like the bare minimum or let's say like a color the bare minimum for a balayage let's say you're doing the shortest hair possible you're still charging the bare minimum for it which is usually pretty expensive in some places so that plus a haircut, plus an old plex what would usually you know you'd book out three and a half, four hours for it get done two hours you don't get a good tip on that you're still making a good chunk of change too and that's what I look at if I don't get a tip from a certain like bigger ticket you know secondary products with their service so I take that into consideration too when I'm thinking about what tips you usually what do you get and what you don't get Well I think my big thing is like we're not waiters and waitresses like we're not making $2 an hour so I think it still blows my mind that we get tips Exactly I really don't understand it because we make great money well you can make great money as a hairdresser without tips tips are like such a bonus I don't know where you work because the commissions across the board are not the same the way people divvy that out I have been a barber shop where I was making 40% of my haircuts and they were averaging $16 a haircut so you're hoping for that couple book tip at the end of your haircut because sometimes the tip could be just as much as the percentage you're getting Exactly I don't know if we have a full answer on that I feel it's depending on your clientele the place you're working I know in a place like Australia you don't get tips But either way be grateful for the tip that you get and I wouldn't expect anything the better service you give the better tip you're going to get Yup Unless you live somewhere that they don't tip And then never mind Alright Forget we said anything Somebody commented on last week's episode asking where you had the interview with Rebecca from Heff How to join her facebook thing There is a forum on facebook similar to the FSE forum a lot of people have been signed up for the FSE forum Heff is the hairdresser's education forum so you just look it up that way In the subject bar just type it in Cool I feel like that kind of wraps up the majority of the questions Okay I'll just keep an eye out on the little sidebar here if anybody has any questions and then just randomly jump in there Okay cool Any of you guys that are watching you can ask questions throughout the show we'd love to answer them that way Let's get into the March Madness Hair Competition I should have had music for this Can you do something? I know I should have created an intro or something like that but I did not We could just start with my favorite one It's like Can we get the arm? No I'm not doing anyone So we do have the March Madness Hair Competition I'm going to pull it up on my screen if Christina You got it? Basically the way that we're going to do this it's just a fun competition and this really It's based on the haircuts A lot of people did submit haircuts I just couldn't fill the entire show with this competition So I had to bring it down to the top 8 You should start it in March earlier and do like a whole bracket next March Yeah we could do it every episode and kind of like work it down So it's an evolution of an idea So the first one the first competition we have here is Michael Taylor versus Mickey Bullock So we're going to go around we're going to vote Oh us? I thought the people are Oh no we're voting Oh man come on This is us and we love all of them and they all did also submit multiple pictures You know I just kind of picked ones that kind of went with a category here So uh Should we do it like Do it like what? Oh like ballads Actually uh a ballad Can you do it in my favor? Can you grab my ipad from the bag I would say say it and why Yeah let's do it We're getting the ipads that we can look No we love all these people It's getting their feelings hurt about nothing Yeah they're all great haircuts that's why they're up here I loved all of them It's in my bag it should be right next to the Right in front of the washroom It's KO Flash so it's blending in Is this only based on cuts It's only based on a cut yeah So it was just a haircut competition Um There's so much stuff in there She's like are you stealing my Tupperware Ready? Yeah Let's go first Dad you're going first Thank you So between Michael Taylor and Mickey Bullock What do you think? You're included you have the Oh alright Alright I'll have another Thanks Chris You know what it looks like you can still vote Because your opinion matters It's super matters Alright that first I really like both of these haircuts Michael Taylor this color is really fun Thank you Mickey Bullock is an awesome shape Like you don't see that shape too Frequently so even though it's not as Alright you're not running from mayor You get one Alright So even though it's not as like traditionally Like out of the box like I feel like By going inside the box it was definitely more Outside the box so I think I'm going to go with Mickey Bullock Okay one Wait someone tallying this Screw this up alright who's got paper Alright how hard One for Mickey Bullock That's the Mickey hand That's the Michael hand Alright I'm going to go with I What I dug about both of them I like I've never seen Michael Taylor's work Kind of like this so it was exciting to me And Mickey Bullock's shape Is really cool and I do love that shape I'm going to go with Mickey Bullock Because it looks nice and clean Even though I still do love Michael's This is really hard It really is Let's put everyone on this spot Everyone wins Everyone gets a comb You get a comb in You get a comb in I want to agree with you That both of these cuts are solid But I'm going to go with Mickey's I enjoy from what I can see About it it looks pretty precise Pretty clean But it's just the shaping of it And he stayed very classic With it That looks like Jesus Alright so who'd you go with I'm going with Mickey So I'm following suit I love the structure and precision Of Mickey's hair cut And it's flawless I just love it I love Mickey because I've met him So many times I particularly That shape doesn't really speak to me that much I love Michael's hair cut Just because I'm looking at those two I really really like that hair cut I think it's cool I like the shape I like the short and then the disconnected over it So I'm going Michael Michael or Mickey won I get to announce the winner When it gets to you You can just say the winner So we got Mickey on that one We're going to do Jess and Sharon Or you want to go We can do that, that's cool Sad Since you guys didn't like my explanation last time Just give us a name I'll find another way to take all day Alright I'm going to go with Jess I'm going to go with Jess as well I like the disconnect I like the PC-ness of it But it still has a lot of The feel on there And the disconnection That's what I was going to say but You guys still want to hear it I love nighttime fat A few tacos enemies all jazzed up Oh it's me now isn't it I'm going to go with Sharon on this one Okay I'm going to go with Sharon Two to one I'm going to go with Jess I like again the disconnection But also it still has a really nice shape to it Like it's still soft it doesn't look Jaggedy but you can tell it probably kicks ass when it moves That other haircut's great though I love the classic look at that one You just asked for a pave, that's all Four to one, Jess takes that one Great job Sharon Judy Oh yeah they're all great Now we have Amy Berry And Casey Kurtz I go Amy Berry on this one Casey Kurtz I was going to suggest that Brian Go first for this one But Dray is taking the wheel She's Jesus Jesus take the wheel Alright so you went Amy on this one I did I like Amy How about you Brian I think I am too I looked at these and I just I liked the cut on the blonde Go Amy Me? Okay I'm going to go Amy too Just as it looks a lot cleaner As a whole I would have loved to see Casey's not black and white Because I don't feel a black and white picture Of any real haircut's going to do it justice You know you don't get The definition of the actual cut You just get I feel you need color Yeah it depends because I mean you look at like I mean that is a pretty sick fade down at the bottom Andrew does hair puts a lot of black and white photos out And it looks really good I think this is just a weird Shot of this haircut But what I liked about it and the reason I Put it on here was that I like the taper It looks really clean And the lines in it I felt with Amy's there was a little bit Of There wasn't as much balance in the way I thought I see it as like a shadow door in the middle Of the fade on Amy's It's so tough to tell on a picture Exactly because it could just be the growth of it It could be the shadow from where the light is And I loved both of those pictures And they both posted a lot of pictures I just wanted to put it up in the men's category And I liked both of them So I'm going with Casey That I actually agree with Justin a lot I would have really loved to see Shocker I would have loved to see The whole haircut from Casey Yeah, even a side view I think would have Really done that haircut justice Absolutely, yeah Alright four to one Amy Berry takes it Who is on vacation in Mexico What? I know I retract my phone I want to go to Casey We follow each other on Instagram And our pictures look awesome We're on vacation in Mexico right now too Alright, so we have Jessica Kraft and Lorraine Cloak Right? Yeah, I go with that Alright, I'll go first Because I want to I'm going to pick I mean it's a haircut challenge And to be totally honest It's not super easy to see What's going on in Jessica's It's a beautiful color And I can see that there's some layering in there But I got to go with Lorraine's Bob because that looks pretty Second pretty clean Lorraine's Bob Alright Insert penis joke here Okay, alright I concur with Brian, I really like Lorraine's I'm going to jump on this bandwagon Just because again you see the haircut with Lorraine I mean, Jessica's looks great But I can't see what cut they did If it was a color competition, I would have gone with Jessica's color Because I really do love that The style looks real nice, real clean But Lorraine Alright, I'm with Lorraine too Brian gets to mark this on the calendar as a first Both Bolans agree with him And it's on camera Alright The next five for Lorraine then Alright, so now we're going to do You want to do Amy and Mickey?

We could just do a couple at once We could decide this later Yeah, we could Let's do that, we can jump in But again, we don't have to wait for clients now That's true, but we have to go home Because we have a kid Yeah, he's old enough to watch himself play Yeah, he's getting there Is he like 14, 15 now?

fault for trying to call in He opened that door So anything else Let's see we got I think we got everything So it's hilarious to me like when we do it in the morning We have clients waiting We don't have enough time Okay bye Alright so let's find out If that's what we want to do Do we want to do the classes in the morning and the podcast at night then Yeah I'm actually I really enjoy this And it's so much more It's like you get the stress out at the beginning of the day And the serious education part at the beginning of the day And then we get to kind of chill out And do the night time stuff I like it a lot Everyone that watches live It seems like we had a good amount of people on tonight Again it's after hours People usually at home or they're driving or watching it Whatever Justin doesn't have to get a speeding ticket on his way in In the morning So and plus The classes are only about an hour So we can get on there live They're easier to set up in the morning And we'll do the classes So we'll have FSE live Wednesday mornings And we'll do I gotta call the radio guy And then we have Wednesday nights For the Podcast which is fun So it's really worked out well And I appreciate everyone that's following us And just keep supporting what we're doing It's cool seeing them all at the hair shows And everything but more importantly I love communicating with them online Because the hair shows are just crazy I think at this point now I've realized I got The premiere show coming up at the end of May But after that I just really love I would want to start doing more education classes And talking to people Online because hair shows are just chaos And they're crazy And you don't really get to connect With people that much You just reminded me of something While we're talking about it, the goings on to the past week I just want to give a little bit of a shout out I did a class this week It was a charity class Pretty much at Actually the Paul Mitchell School that I went to In Ewing, New Jersey, the lab I want to say there's 23 future professionals there And it's so funny I went into it was an ombre class I just figured let's do, give them a nice basic Something that they can use in their careers And I went in there and I told them all I was like let's just do Half ahead because you know you don't want to be here all night They Blew my mind They kicked so much ass Every single one of them did Absolutely beautiful work They did it in such a timely manner None of them took the amount of time that would I mean Rephrase that All of them took the amount of time that you would expect them to take Doing it behind the chair And none of them are licensed Like they're all in school, a couple of the girls Were like brand new in school They hadn't even started working with color yet I just so shout out to them They did an absolutely fantastic job I was very impressed And I'm standing in the class like oh shit I just created a lot of my own competition All local Yeah but it's so cool We actually went out to eat last night And one of our waiters The waiter that was at the restaurant he goes to the lab And he's like I just took this great ombre class And he was so excited and we're like was it with Brian And he's like yeah The salon that we talked about He works there you know It was really cool to hear So congratulations on that I want to do a lot more education coming up Somebody just made a point So let's watch these Wednesday morning That's going to be awesome too Because it'll be early enough where people will still be in school So they can watch that while they're in school That probably counts for hours too So If they're in school Yeah hopefully Yeah if they're in school I would think so And then we just had a question Matt did you go to the behind the chair award show I don't believe So no I did not go So That's just the honest truth I don't believe in it I don't think it's true We don't have the bankroll to show up We don't have the bankroll to ever win anything at that show So it's With that being said You're going to enjoy this really fun interview With Ryan Teal and the Teals The thing I like about the Teals And with the interview and everything It's a family It's a husband wife and a daughter They won Naha And they kind of talk about the process And all of that And then get into some other projects That they have going on as well They've been doing a show called the set TV Which is It's kind of like a TV show So it's different than a podcast It's more of like a produced show Where they invite artists in And their big thing is Bring the artist in, film the show Do an education class while they're there Film the class If you guys haven't checked it out So we're going to roll to that interview But I want to say we'll sign out And then we'll go to that So you can follow Brian On Instagram, on everything It's Hairstyle, H-I-R-E style Dry Day 2289 Hi, I'm Justin Scott You are?

So let's start off with First off, if you're a family of hairdressers How did this start What did you guys start How did this all come to be? Do you want me to go ahead and tell my story? No, don't tell my story So my story We met We were at a party I had been drinking I fell down, I said carry me She thought I said marry me And we've been together ever since We have been together for Since 91 Is when we got together originally I was out of work Technical engineer and a roofer And I never thought about doing hair I was a redneck Punk rocker from Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas I got laid off And I was pretty much just sitting around the house Watching like Moria Povich or any of those TV shows And she came home one day and she was like You need to get a job Completely comfortable Watching daytime television And I'm like, she's like No, you have to get a job I'm like, no, I don't want a job, I'm good And she goes, and I'm like, well why Why do I need this job? She's like, well we're pregnant And I'm like, you're pregnant Surprise And so she After the bruises healed I was like, so what do you want me to do And she's like, well what are you going to be to school I'm like, well you know what they say about male hairdressers Which is already a hairdresser I'm like, that we're really good So I went ahead and found the first beauty school I mean, pretty much Opened the phone book and was like, I'll go to that one And called up, didn't even go look at it Called up, went to school And hated every minute of it And that's how I became a hairdresser That's a fantastic story I called the beauty school I'm like, you guys do this I grew up in Iowa and they're like Yeah And they make good money, I'm like, it's cool, sign me up So I go there, I'm the only guy 150 girls And I'm the only guy, I'm like You lied to me, you wanted my $18,000 But thank you, so So you became a hairdresser You were already a hairdresser Okay I was already a hairdresser Am I close enough? You're close enough Yeah, a little bit louder talking but That's what everybody says to me, louder Yes, I was already a hairdresser You guys balance each other well I was fortunate enough that I was an educator For a company, so I got All the free education because you worked In the back room and you got it That's how I got my start So you were kind of working with the company Prior to So two years out of beauty school My sales rep came to me, Jodi, and said I think you'd be great at this, you should try out For the team, and I got on the team And I just never left That's awesome, that's really cool And You're the child Yeah, sorry guys, sorry There's another one, we gave that one away We have this evil twin brother That I have, we just chain him up At home That was a good one No, that didn't happen So I Grew up in the industry My whole life doing hair shows just like this And pretty much so every day I'd come to work with my mom and dad at this salon And I would Pretend to be the receptionist And I would pretend to take lunch orders And things like that, and I love talking to people Because I can't not stop talking ever That's a good treat I guess as a hairdresser it's okay for us But I grew up in hair shows like this And it would be funny because they would be working For these manufacturers and I would have to come early in the morning And it was kind of like my babysitter The show was my babysitter And everybody out there, if you're wondering why they don't let kids in It's my fault I had all of the fun allowed I would sleep underneath the wardrobe Underneath the tables just like this All day and then I'd come out and just run Just run around Get all the free samples It was so much fun So you guys kind of like I heard about you guys Probably about a year ago Everybody started talking about the teals It became The work So I fell upon you guys First off it's a cool name So it worked great for you guys I wish it was our last name I'm kidding it is So it worked really well Because it sounds like it's some punk rock band From like 80 So I love that You guys have built an image around yourselves And I think it comes with a lot of passion For the industry So I want to talk about Naha You guys have had a lot of accomplishments With that Tell me your thoughts on that How you won Certain categories What do you think went into it that made you win And also Your thoughts on the competition in general I'll take the first part Then you guys take the second So back in 2007 We had been shooting for Naha For like 10 to 15 years And I always really wanted to win it But something to prove how good of a hairdresser was Is more something to prove to me How much value I personally have And about 2007 I decided that I was going to shoot For it and I was no longer Going to just Like half ass shoot for it I was going to jump off a cliff And do everything I could to At least get a nomination And I remember one Sunday morning I woke up I was cranking And so I woke up or manic me Everyone and Maybe I'm just cranky I don't know And I woke up one morning and I was talking to DeAnne I was like you know I want to try it one more time I want to shoot one last time And if we get a nomination Cool If we don't get a nomination I'm going to quit doing hair 100% Because I'm tired of Trying always doing something Without ever getting anything So we decided let's go all out And do it as big as we possibly could And we looked up all the photographers And makeup artists Who have won and we decided Let's get the biggest one So I decided to call up The photographers that were big And I was like So how much is it going to cost us To do a shoot And the guy told it out To be Was it $21,000? Yeah It was $21,000 And I was like I don't have That kind of funds And I was like well If that's what it takes I'm going to go ahead and do it And so the way it looked to me was It was the last quarter And I'm not a football fan The third quarter 30 seconds To go Hail Mary pass I had no freaking money We were maxed out on our credit cards And we're like okay excuse my language Fuck it we're going to do it And All I wanted was a nomination We brought him out Did the photo shoot, put him up in this really nice hotel He left And When he left I was like How did we do? Because we really threw 100% at it We brought our A game And the reason we brought our A game Is we didn't have enough money for a B game This is your one shot And if we don't is that me? Okay because I tend to talk even if I'm mic'd Or talk loud even if I'm mic'd The good thing is all that feedback that's happening Doesn't come up on this So Yeah we didn't have any money for a B game We had to bring our A game And that was it So a couple of weeks later We got an email with an attachment And it was Teal's Naha 2008 And he was able to Bust up our Naha into two different Collections, a fashion forward collection Which I thought was better than Our salon team collection And our salon team collection And when I opened it up and this is Never happened to me before this one time It took my breath away I was like I had no other emotions Aside from that And it was just work that we've done before We were passionate about it But I never saw anything that I was so In love with And I knew that something good was going to come from that This is what I wanted you to say Because I think I thought you were going to go the route of like They said it was $21,000 So I just decided to do it myself and we won That's not the case That's not how it works and I think When you have a photographer That is phenomenal And did he already know Naha So he broke it up for you He was a professional at Naha My belief is that You know You hire people just like being a hairdresser You know I charge $75 for a haircut Which isn't very big in California It's the most expensive in my community People hire me Because of my skill They hire me to do what I'm really good at And when you hire a photographer You hire that photographer Because of that skill You don't bring them in Oh I'm paying you $12,000 or $21,000 And how about much You hire them to do what they're supposed to do And what's nice is When you spend that kind of money Even if it's $21,000 Or if it's $12,000 Or $500 You commit 100% To that And you bring that A game And I know we wouldn't have won If we didn't bring our A game A good example Last week we shot with Andrew Doe's hair And I believe And when we went to shoot My daughter shot it He had this look Of impending fear Like doom I don't know how to do this He jumped off of his own cliff He didn't have to spend any money to do it That was big enough to where he brought his A game It doesn't have to be monetary It just has to be something that scares Again, excuse my language Scares the shit out of you And that's when I think That's when it clicks and happens Yep, so you Filmed Andrew Doe's hair We chatted with him earlier So tell me What was that for? What's the new thing? Our new thing that we're doing right now It's called the Set TV And what this is is It's a community for independent hairdressers To really come together And kind of talk to each other In a way that's not so Time Tuesday with this company No, it's not about your company Right now, it's about you as a person I want to know who you are and why Just you, I want to know What brought you into this Why you're so inspired to learn about free education And things like that We have really cool friends That let us ask them questions on camera That, you know, are hilarious That people want to know the true stories We have embarrassing stories That we've all learned from That we want to be heard I think it's a great way to do it We also are, in every episode We're also doing a thing where They'll either do a haircut for you Or they'll do a Roller set Or we'll try and race them in a roller set Or we have a bunch of really cool ones That we just recently did Every episode is different Not only because it's a different person That we're interviewing But it's because we do different things every time We want to buy that brush We're just telling you why we like that brush No pressure at all It's really fun It's just really fun That's awesome, so I watched This set TV with DJ So That's kind of the goal You're bringing in an artist You interview them, you have fun with them Create hair with them And you film the whole thing So you're taking that every time You're making a video around that That's really cool, I like it a lot And then what we're also doing Is we're sponsoring an event When they come out So everybody in our community can come together And learn from that educator That's really cool So it's really bringing our community together As hairdressers and barbers Yeah, getting the local community involved And I know that you talked about that In that video Can they see that video just so that we have We have a Vimeo channel And then our Facebook We actually have a Facebook for the set TV So you can just type it into your search bar ahead That's the set TV It's on there And then of course on our teals pages We have links to it as well And I'll put a link in this video Below for them to click that as well So what Why Vimeo That's yours So this reason for me is I actually really like Vimeo as something That I can put up anything And they're not questioning my rights They're not questioning how long it is They don't need it to be this, this and this For me Vimeo is the one that I personally like And I can post really easily to it Okay I'm not a videographer I never was trained to do this This is for fun and I'm learning This is super, super fun for me So it's not about my editing quality It's about what they're saying And Vimeo's an easy way for me to put My clips together And put them up I personally thought your editing quality was really fun Thank you Fun is a nice way to describe it What I'm saying is like It's not like Some people like it has to be so perfect I thought it had like such a cool little Edge to it That was probably my favorite part about the whole thing It was almost like What's that? Scary movie When they hold the camera And they carry it around The Blair Witch project Yeah it was kind of like Jump editing Yeah It went with your brand And just the way that you guys are It was very creative looking Like this will come out I spent like five hours focusing that camera Making sure Like it'll be just edited But what you guys did I just think I don't have that kind of I have a different type of creative mind Like I just love watching that kind of stuff I think you did a great job Thank you so much really It's not easy to edit that long Of footage It's not easy to teach yourself to do it either I like, we actually had a wonderful I don't know if I told you this It was on Hairbrain We put it up and somebody said We had other people, like one person didn't like it So you know whatever They didn't have to watch it, whatever But there was one person that gave us the best compliment I ever heard It reminds me of watching MTV Back when it was cool And that was exactly what I wanted to be When I had a vision of it My vision was Like old Matt Pinfield Like Headbrangers Ball Me it's like So I wanted like really hard cuts Really off the cuff and I can't believe they're screaming In the background which is like insane Doesn't it sound like there's a roller coaster in here And all they want is like some samples A blow dryer That's so stupid But the good thing is it doesn't show up On this but jeez I know All day But yeah that was the best comment that I ever heard Was that it was compared to an old MTV Show Yeah it really was and I think so How often are these gonna come out A schedule thing or is it kind of like When you get an artist Well what I would like to see As she's learning while I'm telling you Is I would like to see once a month I would really like it once a week but I think that it'd be feasibly Impossible for her Because she does all the editing and I can't So I think it'll be probably once a month is what I'm hoping In the can right now we have Charlie Price is coming up next Then we have Ira Pope Sage Which everybody knows who that is We have a guy Rob Glenn DJ And then we have Andrew does hair And coming up we're gonna get I've spoken to Albi Mokehi We're talking to Melissa Jacquani I don't know if you know who they are And really like I said it's just a bunch of our friends I want to talk to Lucy Dowdy Not only big people in the industry But I also kind of want people that aren't so big The medium hitters Yeah Did you have something to say there The way that we were going about to find You got to get your lip right on it Go ahead Go ahead I can hear you So the coolest thing about Coming together with our friends Is finding out who their friends are And so we want to bring people together With us that we don't know But that inspire them So that's what you really want to look out for For these people that maybe you don't know their name But they're incredibly Talented and creative and they need to be Shown That's the funny thing about this industry Is you have like the guy who's like everybody knows But then he's always got that guy with him And that guy's usually better than him He watches every movie, he's so passionate He also probably has some really funny things To say about that person Like funny stuff Exactly So this mic makes me feel like Lemmy He always has that mic that's like Either that or like Awesome Why did he say that That mic has given you very I love it man, I feel so professional We gotta get you guys to one of these guys Totally So let's uh I think so The set TV we talked about, you have education That is part of the set TV Kind of your holding the classes I think we talked about that right So is there anything else that you guys Are doing, what do you have coming up With your focus right now Any other hair shows you're gonna be at Uh Four times a year which is a great academy In Atlanta Georgia Which is where they bring out Really great hairdressers again, my buddy DJ They bring out a guy named Herman Cold who does men's hair cutting They bring out Vivian McKendor They bring out a few people and they bring us out to teach wig making Which is kind of fun We're gonna try and be at most the shows this year I don't know if we're actually gonna be working them Back our schedule major this year But you know everything is up in the air The fun thing about us right now is that We don't have a little kid anymore And she kind of takes care of herself And so anything's possible now I mean the only commitments we have Is our salon, we have two dogs in the house And really I mean we can leave all those So I mean we can do pretty much Whatever we want So our plan is to do A couple more shows this year We have a lot of independent stuff That's probably where my heart is Because I believe that Independent education is the way we bring back Our industry I think that has been held hostage for The last probably 20 years With retail and whatnot I get a really bad rap about Being anti-manufacturer And I said this in the class earlier today I'm not anti-manufacturer whatsoever I actually think that the manufacturer is very important But my whole philosophy on that is You know, Penn's oil And Marlboro don't teach Mario and Dreddy How to drive his car But why do they have to teach us Why are we putting it in their hands to teach us When we should teach each other I think it's kind of rude for us To assume that they should teach us Because they don't want to spend the money on that All they should be doing is buying me some Nikes and putting it on my feet I mean that's really all that really needs to matter Everybody's banking on These big companies To support them Travel Yeah, I don't know I gotta be honest I worked for a corporation for 10 years And I waited by the phone Every day thinking I'm getting that call Where I'm gonna travel and do all these hair shows And then one day I was like, you know what Why am I waiting for them There's no reason for that And then I just decided to start doing education On my own and then started this Because you don't need that And I think it's cool what you guys are doing Everybody we've talked to today Is doing such cool stuff I think we're living in a really wonderful time In our history I think we're taking it back So what do you think What's your favorite thing about the industry right now What's your favorite thing at the moment We can do around the horn if you want I agree that Really there's this independent movement Has been amazing There's so many more pop up events happening That are big night out Events where you can bring your entire salon And you don't have to buy a product You just come and hang out And learn from other hairdressers And then of course my second favorite thing Is competition I love competition I love photo shoots in general And if a competition is the only thing That's gonna get you to do photo shoots Do it If there's nothing else pushing you At least there's a competition pushing you to shoot more Shooting your work is the only way to get it seen And I think that's really really important For everybody I think there's a lot of people out there That get upset and bitter because they see people doing things That are similar to them But it really needs to be a point Where we're all working for one goal And we're gonna look a little similar In some ways But just that to me I think at this point It needs to push us to be better Than what we are I think I watched your guys' thing There's so many cool things that they just did And I wish Our podcast It grew quickly And then it kind of became a thing Where it was almost like We're kind of tying ourselves down Because we're doing it before the salon day And we're doing it in an hour and a half And we have to have it edited Because we have responsibilities With companies Something come out and you're like It's so awesome I love watching it and just seeing I love watching everyone But you guys have been a big inspiration at this point And so Ryan What do you guys think? My favorite thing about the industry right now Is how much it's changing And I have to go back to Andrew does hair again When Andrew puts something up on Instagram It doesn't just come to me the hairdresser It goes out there to the consumer And he's bringing this industry back To have their hair done Not just once They keep coming back because they want to look good That's what we need is we need to take it back So people actually want to do their hair Not where people get on the internet And learn how to do their own color technique We need to take it back to the example WebMD and hairdresser So that's I think it's amazing Exactly What's your least favorite thing? Learning it over the internet How to do your own hair color Yeah I believe that my worst thing right now Is going back to I don't like the lies I don't like the bullshit I don't like the pomposity I'm actually going to have a rant I come out with rants every once in a while on Facebook And that's where I think I've gotten a reputation of being mean But I'm really not mean But I have one coming out about the educator And it's entitled Dear Platform Artist Who the fuck do you think you are? Because I feel like we go to these things And we go to everywhere else And we have these hairdressers that Try and tell me that this is what's cool And this is what you're supposed to do And this is how you're going to make Hundreds of millions of thousands of dollars And you take it home and try to apply it to your life And it doesn't work And then you get down to the dumps In reality, who cares what my secret to success is You want to know what my secret to success is Having less chromosomes than most people You know, I mean I have no secret to success I just do and live my life the way it is And I don't want people to, one, think that They're any less than me or any other educator That's out there And I also am really tired of that educator That thinks he's a shit so much to the point where He's not approachable after a show I understand being tired I understand Maybe not even being happy with what you did But You need to allow somebody To tell you after the show or after your class Or whatever And tell you how much they love you It's really weird for me because I've never thought I'd be a superhero in this industry I never thought I'd be any sort of fame at all And I get people wanting to take pictures of me And giving me hugs and signing autographs And I remember at first I was really freaked out About it But Chris Barron told me a couple of years ago That I need to stop being so freaked out And let them have their hero You may not think that you're a hero But you need to think that they're You need to allow them To have a hero which is you And so my whole thing is Knock it off We don't have to be pompous We don't have to be I'm the shit because you're not The person that sits at home and watches YouTube Probably knows something better than you anyways So don't steal it and say I came up with it because I know That I can see through your lies Those are the two things that I hate And then that pomposity For me Dad kind of stole mine just a little bit I'm sorry We're the same person Okay I know So mine particularly right now This moment in time Is the lack of hero It's what you were saying So for me personally I just turned 21 I'm still relatively new in this industry Of course All of my friends around me Don't know anything about hairdressing In the aspects of history Right So there's different levels of history Of course everybody knows this I would hope everyone at this table knows this Knowing your history And creating heroes for yourself Now these people I'm not saying Go and model your life after this person Because that's not what you do with a hero You know that's not what it is I'm just saying we need people that Really really are excited Because remember when you did that haircut And you were working with this person They need to feel that way again We need to look up to our hairdressers again We need to have heroes Like I have so many heroes And it's almost like meeting your favorite band You know you get up there and you're like Oh are they going to be as cool as I thought they were Are they going to be as cool as I thought they were You know like that whole And then usually like you know We can still pretend you look at their haircut And they're like oh man that was still so good You know like it's okay I think that adoring Other hairdressers Is essential to help us be motivated Yeah I agree So I'm so excited to sit down with the Teals For the first time ever And I'm excited to hopefully You know connect with you guys And see what we can do You guys can be followed Where on everything Instagram We have an Instagram it's just the Teals At Instagram You can follow me I post a lot of pictures Of like drinks and food And like you know stupid artwork Or zombies I mean I post funny memes That's Ryan underscore Teal And then Facebook obviously We have what the Teals Go ahead and fill in that one Yeah we have the Teals We have Twitter Our website is www.coolasalon.com And then of course My mom and I both have Instagram So we all have Instagram it's not hard to find us We're out there if you type in Hashtag the Teals rock my socks You'll find all of our posts Find everybody We're not hard to get a hold of And your salon website is Coolasalon.com Yeah I love it So coolasalon.com check out the website You guys have a really nice website Thank you So make sure you follow the Teals Thank you to Millennium Systems International For letting us sit at their booth all weekend And just We've had a great time at ISSE This is the final one Well actually I think I have Stephen actually Are you doing Stephen too?
