@kimberlytayhair joins us again to share her journey the past few years. We discuss how adaptation was crucial in starting her new salon and wig company, as well as the specifics of creative color clients and her approach to them.

What is more important to a hairdresser… the hands or the mind? 

We continue this week with @kirill_hairfucker and dive deep into his creative process, getting a look at his approach to a head of hair as well as his art. 

As a hair artist blurring the lines between hair and art, @kirill_hairfucker had a difficult journey finding a place he could be himself. He speaks about growing up in the Soviet Union and the struggles he had expressing himself and his art. He also shares how he found himself opening a salon here in Los Angeles and why he named himself ‘Hairfucker’!

It’s always a hilariously fun time with @theplatinumgiraffe! We catch up with Sarai and discuss the change in direction she took with her social media content this past year, along with the launch of her online education. She also shares some incredible advice on the importance of branding and pricing yourself correctly.

Indie stylist and educator @cryistalchaos dealt with negative criticism and judgement based on how she looked starting out in the hair industry. She quickly realized she needed to be her own boss to achieve what she wanted. We discuss this, along with the important things you need to know regarding photography and social media.

Candy Shaw aka @thebalaylama traded haircuts for schoolwork as a means to get through high school due to her learning disability. This grit & hard work carried through to her career as a hairdresser, salon owner, and educator. We discuss her journey, as well as making difficult decisions as a leader.

We continue with @thegarrickdixon this week and get into the challenges of creating content in a busy environment, as well as his advice for being successful and productive as a business owner.

As a L’Oreal Educator, stylist, and creator of @cruxebrand hair products, @DrewSchafering juggles a lot of endeavors. We discuss how to balance multiple projects successfully, as well as the challenge of getting logistical stuff done as a creative person. We also get into creating a product line and his creative workshops.
