We had beauty school students tour our Salon Republic Burbank location to learn more about indie hairdressing.... AND we held a panel discussion with Megan Brunelle @hairetic_official, Angelina Marie @hairbyangelinamarire, and Dani Van Buren @danivanburenhair to share how some of our SR fam approach running their businesses. 

Emmy Award winning stylist & CEO @angelacstyles left a full clientele in Chicago and moved to Los Angeles for a new experience. Wanting to get into set work, she targeted salons in the areas where celebrity clientele were common. She also shares her experience starting @consciouscurlshair as well as writing her children's book, 'Hair'.

We continue with Tab Salsman this week and cover a wide variety of topics such as coffee, celebrity haircuts, and his approach to conversations with clients while behind the chair. 

Hair Educator & @toolsandbags Creator Tab Salsman joined us 4 years ago and discussed raising your prices, and that topic is even more important today. We also discuss the importance of consistency and the rise of virtual education. 

Hairstylist & owner of @alchemycollectivehairlab Mikey Teeze shares how Punk influenced him from a young age and led him to hair. We also discuss the topic of self-doubt and the importance of a strong foundation to make building your career easier.

Donovan tasked Eric to wrap up the year with his take on the state of our industry. He gives us a great, positive perspective that will inspire you to achieve your best in 2023. 

Happy Holidays! Thanks so much for being a listener of The Hair Game Podcast. Our host Eric Taylor wanted to share a beautifully written explanation of the meaning of 'Santa' with you. We hope you have a safe and wonderful holiday season!  

Founders of @blondesolutions Lea & Aymen Eldabli (@beauty_politix & @mohesco on IG) have an inspiring, entertaining conversation with us discussing the principles that drive their business. They share the mistakes they have made (and what they have learned) along the way, as well as the parallels between running a business and parenting. 

16 years ago, @kathynunezhair bought an existing salon instead of starting her own. We discuss the pros and cons, as well as adding teaching and an extensions brand to her plate. She also shares a hilarious hair horror story that may have been the reason she avoided coloring hair for years at the beginning of her career.

@kathynunezhair struggled in high school, but found her true talent in hair and never looked back. She shares her experiences that led her here, including her first job as an 18 year old doing hair at JC Penny.
