I'm excited to keep using it throughout next year because we've just gained so many clients from it. And most importantly, we've gotten reviews from it. And reviews are what your business is all about. I was actually researching other salons in our town the other day to see their reviews and just kind of keep an eye on what's going on around. And we have hundreds more reviews than they do. And it's all because of demand force because every time a guest leaves this salon, they get an email sent to them that night asking them to review our salon. So it works really well. Mizutani Scissors, thank you to them. They've supported us since day one pretty much. And they have awesome scissors. So you can't you can't beat that. And also MinervaBeauty.com.

We have the Millennium Experience coming up in June. Make sure you get your tickets for that. That's a huge event. Arojo is going to be there. Gerard Scarpeci from Hairbrained. I think all of Hairbrained will be there. A bunch of huge artists will be there. I will be speaking there as well. So definitely get your tickets for the Millennium Experience as soon as possible because they get more expensive as you wait. Video contest. We only have a week left. We'll make sure that you get your videos in. I had somebody submit a video again yesterday. So we probably have a good 40 videos to look through. But if you haven't put in a video, make sure you do it because you could win $1,000 cash that easy and a brand new pair of $800 scissors. So and also just make sure you say the the lines. Yeah, the intro properly. The most important thing we've gotten a couple submissions that didn't say it was for the Mizutani free salon education contest. You have to say that so that we know you created the video for the contest. That's the only rules. Otherwise, you can make it as short or as long as you want. It just has to be education focused. You have to be teaching something. But it can be from your iPhone. I don't care what if you teach it from your iPhone, you do a great technique. That's awesome. There you go. And if you do it with, you know, beautiful cameras, whatever, it doesn't matter. So but $1,000 cash from Mizutani scissors, and also a pair of Mizutani scissors as well. Why are they called a pair of scissors? Is one blade a scissor? Maybe I don't have to look that up. We got to call Kyosha on that one. Alright, let's get to feedback from last week and then we'll hit the other questions that we had from last week as well. Okay. So rolling right in feedback from last week, our buddy Mickey Bullock, who was on two episodes ago, said, Okay, Christina, you just made me cry. Thank you for the compliment. Brian, you freaking rock. I hope I am never referred to as a douche. It was a pleasure to meet you all. And I think you are all very lovely. He was wonderful. I enjoyed him. Yeah, he sent me lots of really nice messages. And yeah, we had a great time with him on the show. So definitely have him back. Good job, Christina, making him cry. Yeah, nice job. It wasn't me for once. Pope 81. Brian awesome idea with the presence. Thank you. Nice. I wish my future reserves a team with members like you guys. I gotta say, I definitely agree with that. I mean, I say all the time that this is pretty much the best job I'm ever gonna have. Because I get along with everybody. I like the bosses. I love everyone. We're good. I don't need to go anywhere. You know, it's funny when it talks about our team a little bit. The t shirts that you guys are wearing is that right? Oh, yeah. No, Justin. Why didn't you wear your t shirt? Because Oh, yeah. No, you said you didn't do longer. You liar. So Brian shirts as you are tacky and I hate you. And that was from our receptionist Claudia. That was my guest. That was his Christmas gift. And what is your shirt? Mine says nightmare. And it's got a picture of Michael Jackson and ET on it. And and the tag that it came on said to the creep but the cool creep. Nice. She took care of it. And then top notch was dad's tank top that he got. What did it was? It had pictures of ballerinas in old school painting of ballerinas like working on the bar or doing their stretches everything. And what did it say? Just up in the gym working on my fitness. Yeah. So I guess he wore that to the gym. That's fun. But then again, I got a t shirt from her also tell me it's a white t shirt black lettering that's how I'm what the t shirt says. I should give you guys all t shirts. Where's the t shirts, Claudia? Draya, Draya. Sorry. Yeah. Whatever. All the same. What did it say? It said I licked it. So now it's mine. Was it? Yeah. What? Yeah, that's what she got me. Okay. All right. So I get put in my dream. So Merry Christmas. There we go. All right. All right. Next. James Delman. Is that a beard hair or seriously? You guys are awesome. That was funny. That was funny. I actually didn't remember that until just now. I was looking at that comment. I'm like, What does that mean? What is that? Yeah, I remember. And then Wisconsin Donna also got in on that. The beard hair. Wisconsin Donna says also excellent, excellent explanation of foils versus hand painting Brian. Thanks. Cool. I have to explain the difference a lot. So yeah, I'm glad it comes across as understandable. All right. All right. So last week, we had a ton of questions. We did a lot of giveaways. We actually that's that the wheel is sitting over there very sad right now. So we did. I've got to do a belly crawl. Right. Can you climb under the table? So we did get a lot of questions last week. So what we're going to do is go through and we'll just answer the ones that we didn't answer last week. And we're going to pick from one of those people to give out another prize. Awesome. I was going to start with where we left off with any mitten dream says, what are the top three haircut styles colors that you would refuse to do on a client's head? And how do you handle that situation? I'm asking because I had a situation like that recently, and I'm still sometimes struggling with the conflict between my personal personal hair values and my need to please people. I was saying, I get that because I know I've talked about her before, but she came back in this week on Sunday just for her retouch. The person who I'm taking from that level four read to as light and ashy as we can get. And it's it's a slow process. We're getting there very slowly. But it's, you know, it's, it's, I've tried to explain to her, you know, her hair is long. I could sit her down and blast her hair out and get her there in one day. But her hair is going to be in terrible shape. And she's going to be really upset with me for the next six years that it's going to take to grow that out. Yeah, or we can just kind of deal with the fact that it's going to be a slow process until we get there, you know, every now and then because we're trying to cram these appointments into our Christmas schedule, which is just impossible, you know, there might be a slight, you know, sheen of warmth that maybe she didn't want to see that I can't always correct because they don't always have, you know, hours to sit there and do it. Honestly, I think in the long run, you're better off sticking with your hair values. Because if it's that kind of scenario, where you're trying to take care of somebody, because I and I thought about this, I was like, if she ends up saying I he's not getting me there fast enough and she leaves me and she goes to another salon, she explains what happens. I can tell you right now what they're going to do to make her happy. They're going to roast her hair, you know, get her as light as she wants to go and then she's going to come back to me. Right. Because there's two types of people there are the guests that are going to appreciate your hair values right off the bat. And the ones that are going to appreciate your hair values after somebody else destroys them. Okay. So I say stick with your values. Yeah, I support that statement. Yeah, I think because you look at like, you know, people, the Victoria Beckham Bob and all those kind of haircuts. And after a while, it's like you can't put that on everyone. But some people you can. So I don't think there's in my mind a haircut that you just wouldn't do on people. I think it just depends on the person and right. Yeah, it's not that I wouldn't do that haircut. Because I don't. But I wouldn't do that haircut on that person because they're not going to blow dry their hair. And they're not going to iron their hair. They refuse to use products. So eight weeks for a trim. Yeah, rather than every two. So I think it basically it's all in the consultation. It's really working through how much time they spend on their hair, what you know, they're willing to do and what effort they're willing to put out so that, you know, because if they want, like you said, straight across bangs, and they're going to have to spend extra time on it. So you got to really discuss that thoroughly, instead of just cutting them off, right, sending them out. It's an it's an education thing. Right. They deserve their paying to get just as much education as the stylist is getting. Yeah, you know, and it's going to make them trust your hair values knowing that you're making every decision you're making based off of something. You know, but that's it though. That's what I used to teach a lot of my students is that as much as you're there to make them happy or also to educate them and the more educated your client is easier, your job is so you don't have to have that situation of why can't my hair be blonde right now from this level two box dollar dive and use them for 10 years. You know, yeah, and if you're good at educating them, then they're going to understand why they shouldn't run to exactly right. So it all that that all ties into being a successful stylist. That's what you need to do. So freesalon education consensus stick to your values, yeah, values, values. I got there. Let's see. All right, Raquel, Michelle Deanda. That's a fun name. How do you give your guests and staff everything you possibly can and go home without neglecting yourself? I don't know. We neglect ourselves like crazy. We walk around with roots and needing haircuts. And it's just I think that's the thing with hairdressers. That's the big joke always. It's what's the old saying the shoemakers kids are walking around barefoot because they sit there and pour their heart into taking care of everybody else and we're no different. Yeah. Fine time. I'm getting haircut today because Justin and I aren't working today when the show is over. I'm like, Christmas haircut. Let's do it. Well, and this is a big issue in a lot of sawns when I when I used to teach in sawns often, they would talk about like owners would ask me, do you let your staff get their hair done or do you let I don't I've never had an issue with people getting their hair done as long as it fits in the day. And because we should have good hair if we can. I mean, obviously, we all I chopped it myself. And, you know, like we do some things. But in the end of it all, your staff and the way that everybody looks reflects your business. So you should allow them to make time to to do their hair or allow them to book on their off day and appointment and come in and get their hair done. Well, because I saw one place that I worked. It was like this staunch rule. You could only get your hair done on I forget whatever the arbitrary did like Tuesday. And I understood the point of that. But what that turned into was good luck ever getting a guest No, getting a guest to be able to get their hair done on Tuesday, because now the entire staff is only working on each other on that one day. Yeah. And refusing to take any guests because and also neither hair done. So why take that one walk in? Yeah. And here too, though, it's such a it's such a great atmosphere, though, that I've never even experienced the point where, okay, I'm off the clock, I'm off the books whatever. If I'm getting my hair colored, I'll just clean the shop for an hour or not feel twice about because it's a great atmosphere of people you work with or I don't feel like, Oh, he's gonna yell at me if I cut Brian's hair like no, like he embraces that he wants us to do that if we have the time where everybody also Well, it's practicing. Exactly. You know, it's practicing. And also you like, I would rather that happened than booking an appointment in the book, because that all automatically makes sure that that's not open. But if you have a gap in your day, and I would rather you were doing that than hanging out on Facebook or looking at other things, I'd rather you were cutting and coloring somebody's hair. So as long as a salon is not affected by it, I think it's a good thing. So haircuts for everyone. Jay Lee Yang asked you guys eat, breathe, live hair like I do. It's insanely addicting. This was my favorite one. Because you know, literally, we eat and breathe hair. We do. Matt and I talked about the time. It's like, Oh, the other was hair in my food, whatever. Yeah, waiters are happy if I'm the one that has hair in my food. So I'll just pick it out and keep going. Like, what? And just so much hair in a daily basis. Anyway. Alright, Amira Kanan Shokei, we got good names this week. What type of advice do you have for someone that has been licensed for over seven years, just focusing on their family and now wants to get back in the game? My question is how or where should they start? Well, you already started in one good place. You got an education coming your way. I see that a lot. I mean, especially with, you know, after the economy tanked a while back, people coming back to it after so long and not knowing where to start. And it's just education. Drown yourself in as much as you possibly can. Because, you know, it's there are certain things about this business that will be like riding a bike, you know, learning how to hold scissors and hold your comb and clip hair. But then, you know, if it's been seven years, look at how much has changed since then. So I think it's almost it's pretty much starting over at that point. Right. Yeah, for the most you don't really have a book anymore, maybe a couple of family and friends that you kept up with in your kitchen over those seven years. But I mean, you have to relearn what we do now. Yeah. Yeah, because it changes so fast. And I mean, you look at Dreia's trending dresses every week. There's something new happening. So I think I think that's a big thing. Education and then also find a place that you're going to work that can help you through all of that and help you build a book and all that stuff. So and just get out there, start networking, start meeting people, start practicing on people and and just kind of go there. I know. Yeah. Yeah. Dust off your VHS. Well, and we have what's a DVD? What we have? You did? Did you have a player for them? You can go to a local. Oh, that does. Of course, that was a shocker. Of course, he does. But I forgot what I was gonna say. It wasn't important. It looked poignant on the look on your face. I was excited to hear what it was. Good job, that it'll come back to you. Yeah, text me later. Alright, Kate and I late says when you get that client that's stuck in the eighties and basically wants a mullet or anything you know, won't look good. What do you say to them to talk them into something more flattering? If you can't get them to change their mind? What do you do? They like wearing a mullet. I love cutting it. I have this thing where I have this guy who has been coming to me forever. And he has such curly coarse hair. And he seriously gets to cut this short on top. And then it's just a mullet in the back. And I haven't seen him in quite a while because he doesn't come in that often. He'll come in and it's like slicked back. But then he wants me to cut it off again this short. I love cutting a mullet. I don't know why I have never I haven't seen you this excited about talking about one hairstyle ever. Yeah, because you know why? Because people come in here. They're so specific. And they're so like just in the box. And they just want a regular Bob. And then this guy comes in. He's like, just let it go, man. Just don't even cut that. Just a little off this, but a lot off of this. I love it. I don't want to touch the tea tops in my Camaro. Just chop stuff. That's fun. So hey, I'll do a mullet every day of the week. I want to change them a bit. All right, so we'll take mullet out of that question so that Matt gets into what you're asking. Nice. Yeah, and I think if you go in little steps, what happened? Everybody looked at me. I think if you go in little steps, then then you don't have to do a big change on people. I mean, I can only think of one or two people that I absolutely they would not budge from a very dated look. And if I remember it was years ago. So I was still only a couple years into it. It made me nervous because I'm like, this is not a haircut that has ever taught to anybody in this day and age. Like, but you know, you figured out if that's what they need. I also got a great piece of advice a few years ago. Actually, it's from DJ. I was in one of his classes, and he said, if somebody wants something that you know would look terrible on them, and they're fighting you, just tell them it'll make their face look fat, and then they won't want it anymore. And it's true. That is a great, that is a great statement. I did that once with somebody she wanted straight across bangs, and it was just not the person for it. Like she just had a very square face. And I didn't say we make her face look fat, but I sort of led her there on her own. I'm like, Well, the point of when you do hair, it should make your it should elongate. And I'm afraid if we do that, it's going to draw you out this way. It's going to make my face look fat. I mean, I'm not going to say those words. Just forget it. I don't want it. I'm like, my God, it worked. Yeah, they would punch you. The word round. Don't just round. They associate with that anyways. You'd look swollen. Your face is kind of round. Are you saying I have a fat face? No, you have a round face. What are you talking about? It's like a cookie. That's much better. It's like a weeble. You shouldn't. Do you have a tooth infection because it makes your cheeks look swollen? So yeah, slowly talk him into try this low approach. Try to update, you know, use words that are not offensive. You know, guide them and then finally, if all else falls down, they look fat. Morgan Elizabeth Johnson. Have you used? Wait, huh? Have you used the idea slash technique of using math to cut hair? I don't even know what you're talking about. So there's a girl out there. Oh, yeah. Here's her name, Kim Moore hair education. I've never watched her videos, but she she calls it, I forget exactly what she calls it. But it's she has this whole DVD collection. And it basically has to do with head shape. Okay, so everything that I talk about with head shape, it's like that. But she complicates it with talking about degrees as well. So she has like very specific and I commend her because it's probably taken a lot of time to put this together. But she'll show like the angle of from the occipital bone down. And then she'll show where 45 is off of all of that. So it kind of shows you that as you're following the head shape, 45 degrees changes. So on top of the head 45 degrees don't look different than on the bottom. So she has a DVD collection. So the answer to that is not necessarily do we use math? It's not an equation that might be helpful for people that everybody learn that way. Yeah, that need that super mathematical approach to it. haircutting is mathematical, right? But I mean, like, you know, versus where yours is just a little bit more visual. And it's showing head shape and all that. Like numbers, I'm not learning anything. Yeah, I don't think anybody is as as much as I'm just saying there might be some there may be some but but from a visual standpoint, you're still using but no one's saying, Okay, now I would like you to cut a 57 degree haircut. But we went into this like two weeks ago, I think we talked about like the difference between a 90 and a 45 to the point of like, we're confusing to people who are kind of just starting out as well. Right. So you don't want to over complicate it. I mean, if you feel that you can really do numbers perfect, which a lot of people who are in this industry aren't very scientific, they're very, they're very artistic in the way they do things. I feel like that would kind of go against the grain of how their brain works. But I would love to see this DVD collection. That's why I have really nothing to say about what she did because I'm sure based on the images that I've seen, I think she did spend a lot of time on it. So it would be kind of cool to watch it and just see how she approaches being so mathematical with the techniques as well. So but no. Yes, no. Okay, maybe. Alright. Patricia Malave Hernandez. What is your most embarrassing slash funny hair mishap on yourself or a guest? I was excited about this one. Matt and I always answer this one. So we'll not go first on this one. We'll let you guys jump in there. I'm gonna think about this for a little bit. No, I told you before the show started to think about it. So you can I've gone sidetracked. God, I got sidetracked in conversation in my previous year. Someone answer. Oh, okay. Yeah, here. Here. Okay. It's better. Oh, God, your throat. Didn't believe in clippers. We weren't allowed to use them. But you got a Sassoon Academy? No, there are some I worked in a salon that you weren't allowed to use. The first one I worked in clippers, we charged $40 a men's cut and they wanted you to use scissor over comb and that's what it was. So they just didn't believe it. But anyway, so the set instructor gave us years to use. And previously, I've been using a pair of five or six inch years. He gives me a seven and a half. Oh, this hurts just hedge clippers. I'm looking at these things. I'm like, no. And he goes, Yeah, yeah, this is what's gonna happen. I was like, All right, so I'm going away, going to have guys just talking, like just chatting up a conversation. And all of a sudden, I see a trail of red going down his neck. Oh, geez. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. He's like, Like, why what happened? I was like, um, you're bleeding. Um, you're bleeding. You are bleeding. Um, here's your ear back, sir. I'm trying to work. Could you clot, please? I didn't have the finesse that I normally would have had, but I was just like, I'm in here. What's red low lights? Oh, gosh. Nice. All right. It happened. You're supposed to learn a waiver. Yeah, up your mic this week. Sorry about that. You want to come? You want me just know I push it over that way. You can tell your story. It's a good call. All right. That's a good one. All right. You got one. I do have one. First time I ever used a balder, nobody taught me how to say, Oh yeah, he uses on his neck and a balder I use on Brian in the video. It cuts very short hair and it puts the skin just directly to bald, closely a razor would get you. Nobody told me that. Like, yeah, use it on his neck, clean it all up. So I'm like, okay. So I start going at this kid's neck and it's not doing anything. So like, maybe I have to go the other way. So I put both blades against skin. I'm going at it. Nothing's happening. I'm like, you have to push a little harder. So again, nobody's told me how to use this thing. Nobody told me it only cuts very short hair. And he's got like the basic neck hair raw this kid's neck out. So I didn't even know about chopping him off. He chipped the crap out of his neck. And then I didn't realize it. So I sprayed alcohol in my hands. Have a good day. Jumped straight out of my chair. Like, you alright, buddy? He's like, I'm fine. I'm fine. Page just ran out of the door. I was like, Oh, and as he's leaving, that's where I saw like the raw skin on his neck. I learned how to use it that day. Somebody should have been there to help you with that. Oh, no, no, it's fine. Trial by fire. Yeah, exactly. Alright, I feel like just time wise, maybe one more, because it's getting there. We're getting up there. Yeah, one more. We go. Um, well, Michelle, Bryson, our girl, I feel like we got to throw our little hey, what's up? She's a couple of parter here. First one, Matt, would you ever open another location? I don't think so. I like you thought hard about that. You saw it. No, I I think me and Christina have talked about this quite a bit. Um, we would like to expand this location. Um, but never in my life do I feel like having another. I like this one. I think you guys pour yourselves enough into one. Yeah. Yeah, so and I think once you start moving into other ones, it just becomes not what it was like. It's very hard to keep control. And that's what I like about having this space. Um, and I, and I honestly even said to Christina the other day, having six staff here again, which has been a long time since we had that, it's already feel like it's it's a lot of people, you know. All right, guys, watch out. Yeah, so they're getting ready to downsize. Yeah, so we're going to start eliminating you out like American Idol. Um, but but that's the thing and that's that's how it goes under the more people you start adding in, the tougher it is to control an environment. And I'm not saying that this is a tough environment to control, but but in reality and that and people out there watching, um, you know, that have 12 staff or have 20 staff, that's I feel for them and I love going to their songs and like you would you ever open a way bigger space and I'm like, I don't know because I honestly love the tight knit thing that that we have here. Um, and I can't even imagine having 20 people to try to keep on the same page. So, um, I probably wouldn't open another location. I definitely want to expand this location, but for different reasons, not necessarily to have a ton more staff, but just to expand it because maybe some space definitely outgrown it. Maybe you deserve an office, Matt. An office? I feel you deserve an office. I have an office in my house. There you go. This next one I like because I I think I have a decent thing to add to the answer. She's also asking, have you found businesses grown from you doing videos and splitting hairs? I think, I mean, I've gotten a very a couple of clients that just happened to come across a video, but I more see how the salon as a whole is growing because of the education that we're constantly doing exposing ourselves to the confidence that it builds the the the sense of adventure to try new things that I mean even just myself what I feel ready to dive head into now versus year and a half ago when I started are so different. Yeah the the salon yeah it's not like we get a lot of clients from it. We have had clients that have traveled three hours to come here and get their hair cut. They don't come back. It's like it's like one of those things where it's a family they come every 12 weeks. When I have a lady from Long Island who drives two and a half hours she comes every six weeks from YouTube videos but we had somebody from Virginia that drove and it's too far and it's like and they get here and they realize it's a salon you know like it's not there's nothing where the same as other salons we just we are constantly trying to produce education and like you said I do believe that we've all grown in the fact that it was Tom Harris that said to me what do you do for continuing education I'm like we're continually educating all the time like we're always looking for the new things that we can create a video to put together so then we rack our brains how can we make this video and how can we showcase this new technique just like we saw that post from behind the chair and it said what was that color technique the blend the blur the blur right so we saw that there was the blurred ombre now so we were like well how can we do that so it's it we're constantly trying to study and and better and I think that that's why the salon is growing the clients is cluttered and crazy as this place is they really get into the fact that we do this on the side as well so it makes us stand out in our town it makes us stand out on google because we have almost 100 000 subscribers now so google loves us and so we show up definitely first in our town right for sure as a salon as well so yeah i think there's a lot of benefits to doing youtube videos and education online cool great all right so tresses do it jay let's do it i'll put up on my phone so i can follow along wait i can't thank you okay let's trend some dresses you too all right who's first okay i'm curious to see how she's gonna get that right out afterwards but yeah the other day when i was watching the uh jingle ball concert live i was guessing from new york i think that's what it's from i saw her hair like that it would make sense yep oh god sorry guys can't unsee that image yeah i love it yeah i love the big texture okay what's it and i love the hood that makes it like a megaphone it's all coming this way well i don't think we've seen like beyond it without of control hair ever like that's still controlled nonsense i looks like the controlled chaos yeah it's like the salon it's still a wig yeah i like it it'll it'll be changed next week yeah then we have rihanna god god oh my god she has her halloween costume on she's the girl from the ring are those bands i can't see from here okay but so the like the one inch section right next to the bangs are all flat iron super straight and then she just has like it's like curled wanded hair everywhere she looks like she's wearing a hazmat suit look at those gloves what was the intention of the i don't know i've been disappointed in her style this year ever since you guys went to the concert yes ever since she let me down me and christina were very let down there's no next i mean but think for years she was like this style icon especially with her hair and then this year she just started putting on really long boring wigs that look like a horse's tail or yeah go back to the short fun colors like that's when she had it going on yeah all right and this next one's gonna upset bryer why is it backwards wow the before is over here at the after yeah it's backwards i don't whatever i'm used to it now but anyway so rachel big Adams has gone to an ombre-esque look but it literally looks like her blonde grew out yeah yeah i'm not either i think it's a little late to do that i mean i i think that it's just it's so extreme and it's so oh you know what else it reminds me of is that old video from paul michel where you put the hair in the ponytail the pony tails yeah i do remember that video but i think um i think just because it's so harsh but i do like it because it's on short hair too yeah the ends look a little distressed yeah i feel like it's been done so much better than how it's been done on this one yeah that looks like her sister just bought lightener and did it in the kitchen it's still hard for me to get into that i have a guest she came in for an ombre and i gave her and you know it was another one that we were lightening she's asian so she's very very dark dark hair and she wants very very light light ends so i told her you know give me like two trips three trips tops and when we finally finished it she made me go in and darken the light pieces around the face that i always like to do because she wanted that hard line kind of ombre she loves it i think it's still a pretty cool transition but it kills me not having any lightness go up beyond that line so i'm being forced to get into that so it came out nice though thanks all right so did you pick somebody to spin yeah um so who who's gonna spend
