Customer Reviews
Love the podcast
I’ve been meaning to write a review forever! Love love love this podcast. So many relatable conversations. Great questions bring us to some great knowledge! Thanks for inspiring the industry to elevate!
My go to podcast!
I love this podcast! The interviews are inspiring and extremely informative. I’m so thankful to have a podcast like this as I’ve transitioned into an independent stylist from a commission salon. It’s fed me so much free information, and it’s so great listening to everyone’s stories that really proves we’re all people just trying to figure it out! @hairbykendrahynes
Great podcast!
I’ve been binging this podcast for the last week to get myself pumped up to go back to works after being laid off due to covid for over 7 months and I gotta say, if you need a reminder of why we are in this business this is it. Everyone Eric speaks to is so passionate, the interviews about why and how people got into hair are very relatable and you will always find at least a few nuggets of priceless business\technical information every episode. Please keep up the great work! @lynzdoeshair
