Co-Founder of @hairbrained_official Gerard Scarpaci shares his story of leaving behind his salon and educating to build Hairbrained online. We also discuss the rise of digital education, common mistakes in haircutting, and industry changes he has seen post-covid.

We caught up with @presleypoe again to finish our conversation about the realities of running your own traditional salon. We also get into the value of in-person education and her daily mantras for staying focused and successful.

CEO of @GlossGenius Danielle Cohen-Shohet literally helped build the technology that assists indie beauty pros, teaching herself computer coding in 6 months to get the app up and running. We get into helpful topics such as scaling up your business and the future of the beauty industry.

Happy Halloween! We’ve taken some of the best hair horror stories from our guests and put them together for a spooktacular treat. Listen in…. if you dare!
