  2. Love is infinite, when you let it be!

    Love is infinite, when you let it be!

    You hear this all the time, but probably don't think it means much. You probably think, "yeah, yeah, okay, we say this, but does it really make a difference?" What am I talking about? I'm talking about "LOVE IS ENOUGH". "Love" doesn't sign acts and laws, love doesn't make problems go away, love doesn't put money in the hands that need it the most, love doesn't make my dreams come true, love isn't tangible. BUT... LOVE is the driving factor that makes everything happen! LOVE (following my heart and passion for humans) brought me together with these two beautiful girls among many others who are a part of the amazing community DOVE MISSIONS. These girls took me in like one of their own and showed me their world. They braided my hair, did my lipstick and walked me around like I was their sister and BFF 💜! We were only strangers a few days before, but it was not long after our hearts connected and we felt so much love for one another. HATE creates divide and robs us of beautiful moments together, pure of heart, like this one 💜. The thing is, when that LOVE flows through us all, real change happens because those unnecessary divides dissolve. Fighting turns into active solutions. People feel loved, valued, understood, respected, taken care of so they can then create change, beauty, art, positivity and healing around the world. Even if you feel loved, others don't. Even though hurt and suffering may not be right in front of you, do not turn a blind eye or cold shoulder. And if you are actively filled with love, please actively search out places and spaces that need it the most. Open your eyes, use your voice and help where you are. There is a chance for FREEDOM for each and everyone of us. Dont miss moments that can change your life 😘

  3. If there’s any voice that needs to be heard right now, it’s Kevin Kirk’s

    If there’s any voice that needs to be heard right now, it’s Kevin Kirk’s

    This beautiful, talented, successful man is a 29+ year hair vet, international master stylist, global educator, 4 times Bronner Bro’s champion, CEO and owner of Kirk Pro products and captain of the Babyliss Pro team. He’s opened his heart to speak his truth and share the real deal on what’s going on in our industry, nation, and world. Racism needs to be eradicated and incredible humans like Kevin have had to deal with it his entire life. Kevin shares how and why we can be stronger than ever after this is all over, and that the real division between us comes from cultural and economic issues. Listen and learn: The difference between legacy racists and undercover racists The fears and insecurities we all need to be open to admitting The huge hit the beauty industry would have without the black dollar The disgusting racial profiling Kevin, his honor student children have experienced The undervaluing of black artists that is still prevalent on our platforms The respect the black community needs to demand and deserves from the beauty industry (correction, ALL industries) Actions the black community need to take, and other communities need to take to really effect change Beauty pros, listen up: We need to come together. “The way we do hair is different, but taht doesn’t mean it’s a ‘black skill’.” Black people deserve a fair chance. More white stylists should show up to black shows, and vice versa. “Please judge me by my skillset and by my character.” Let’s socialize, talk, and learn to appreciate each other so we can start a new culture. This description does not do this man or this conversation or the entire black community justice. We urge you to listen to this conversation to learn how to STOP the SILENT INFLUENCE OF RACISM. Thank you Kevin. We appreciate and love you and hope we can do our part in showcasing you to help make an impact.

    Bringing Creativity Back To Life w/ David Abrams

    David Abrams, 31+ year hair vet and co-founder of LA’s Luxegroup salons, the exclusive salon of Fashion Week, is reminding us all of what this industry is truly made of. This incredibly creative, caring, business savvy human (and my former boss!) has a lot to say when it comes to going back to work in these interesting times. Do you feel like all the COVID-19 procedures have made the salon experience into a sterile, disconnected doctor’s visit? Do you feel like what once was a fashionable, high vibe environment has now turned dull, flat and lifeless? Do you feel disconnected from your unstoppable passion and fiery inspiration, and lost beneath the fear overwhelming all of us? Listen to this interview because David has the perfect amount of fire to reinstill in you. He’s reminding us all what it means to be a hair stylist and an ARTIST. Reconnect to your inspiration as David shares what he’s doing at Luxe Lab to move beyond the masks and sterilization procedures and still make clients feel beautiful, renewed, special, and taken care of. We may have been stripped of all that makes this industry beautiful, but that doesn’t mean we can’t repaint our world and come together as compatriots to remember what truly makes us special. Thank you SO much @davidabramshair for your unshakeable dedication to creativity, fashion, fun, and highlighting what makes us all happy. Listen to this powerful podcast now 💜
