    Overcoming Hair Disasters, Top 5 Salon Tools, Lady Gaga, and Ancient Mullets

    Overcoming Hair Disasters, Top 5 Salon Tools, Lady Gaga, and Ancient Mullets

    Hey there, salon pros! It’s Matt Beck here, co-founder of FreeSalonEducation.com. In our latest episode of the "Splitting Hairs" podcast, we had a blast discussing everything from unexpected musical tattoos to salon essentials with my pals Brian Haire, Christina, and Karlie.

    In this episode, powered by the amazing folks at Minerva Beauty, we dove into some pretty intriguing topics. First off, did you know that the Lady Gaga song "Hair" has a special place in our hearts? Yes, it's literally tattooed on Brian's arm, which led to a fun misunderstanding about new music releases.

    We also ventured into the world of salon essentials, playing a game where we had to choose just five tools to use for the day. This sparked some great conversation and laughter, especially when considering the limitations this would impose on our color services.

    Our discussions took a nostalgic turn as we recounted some of our most memorable, and sometimes panic-inducing, salon experiences. From color disasters to haircut mishaps, we shared how these challenges have shaped our expertise and resilience in the industry.

    Moreover, we touched on the excitement and skepticism around new salon tools like the latest Dyson hair dryer, weighing its innovative features against practical utility in a professional setting.

    The episode was not just about sharing stories and laughs; it also aimed to foster a deeper connection within our community. We encouraged listeners to engage with us, share their own experiences, and even contribute to upcoming discussions on salon brands and their offerings.

    As we wrapped up, the episode reminded us of the camaraderie and shared experiences that bind the salon industry together. So, whether you're tuning in for some light-hearted banter, seeking professional insights, or looking to contribute your own experiences, "Splitting Hairs" is here to keep you company and informed.

    Until next time, keep those scissors sharp and your passion for hair alive!

    Robots cutting hair, Redheads Need More.., and a blow dryer that creates no damage

    Robots cutting hair, Redheads Need More.., and a blow dryer that creates no damage

    Hey everyone,

    Matt Beck here, co-founder of FreeSalonEducation.com. On our recent Splitting Hairs podcast episode, we delved into some thought-provoking discussions that are shaping the hairdressing industry. Alongside my co-hosts Brian Haire, Christina, and Karlie, we explored a range of topics that blend the traditional with the cutting-edge in our field.A key point of discussion was the intriguing notion of robots potentially stepping into the hairdressing realm. While automation is making strides in various sectors, we questioned the extent to which it could impact our craft. Hairdressing, after all, is more than just cutting and styling; it involves a sensory and emotional connection that's difficult to replicate with machines.

    We also discussed innovative technologies shaking up the industry, like new hair tools that promise to revolutionize our approach to hair care. While these advancements are exciting, we emphasized the importance of balancing technology with the human touch that lies at the heart of hairdressing.

    The conversation took a lighter turn as we laughed over the varying celebrity hair trends across states, showcasing the diverse inspirations driving current styles.

    Don't miss out on this engaging conversation, and join us as we continue to explore the dynamic world of hairdressing.

    Stay connected, keep innovating, and let’s shape the future of our industry together.Catch you on the next episode!

    Best,

    Matt Beck

    Salon Talk: Dyson, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, & Hair AI Tech - What's Going On?

    Salon Talk: Dyson, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, & Hair AI Tech - What's Going On?

    Welcome back to Splitting Hairs, the free salon education podcast powered by Minerva Beauty! In today's episode, we're diving deep into the latest innovations shaping the world of haircare. From Dyson's groundbreaking blow dryer to the standout hairstyles at the Grammys and the exciting potential of AI technology, we've got a lot to cover. As your hosts, Christina Cavalcanti, Brian Haire, and Karlie Warehime, we're here to share our thoughts, insights, and of course, a little bit of our personality along the way. So grab your favorite styling tools and let's get started!

    Dyson's Supersonic R Blow Dryer:
    Alright, let's kick things off with Dyson's Supersonic R Blow Dryer. As salon professionals who are constantly on the lookout for tools that can elevate our game, we were naturally curious about this one. And boy, were we impressed! The power, the precision, the sleek design – it's everything we could ask for and more. Plus, knowing that it's protecting our clients' hair from heat damage? That's a win-win in our book.

    Grammy Hair Trends:
    Now, onto the Grammys – our favorite time of year for hair inspiration. From bold colors to intricate updos, the red carpet never fails to deliver. As stylists, we love dissecting these looks and figuring out how to recreate them for our clients. It's all about taking that celebrity glam and making it accessible to everyone. And let's be real, who doesn't want to feel like a superstar when they leave the salon?

    AI Technology in Haircare:
    Last but certainly not least, let's talk about AI technology in haircare. We'll admit, we were a bit skeptical at first. Can a computer really understand hair as well as we do? But after giving it a chance, we were pleasantly surprised. The personalized recommendations, the data-driven insights – it's like having a virtual assistant in the salon. And anything that helps us better serve our clients is a win in our book.

    Conclusion:
    As we wrap up another episode of Splitting Hairs, powered by Minerva Beauty, we're feeling inspired, excited, and ready to tackle whatever the future of haircare throws our way. From Dyson's innovative blow dryer to the latest Grammy hair trends and the promise of AI technology, the possibilities are endless. And with our passion, expertise, and a little bit of personality thrown in, we know we're ready to take on whatever comes next. Thanks for tuning in, and until next time, keep styling!

Where are new podcasts ??

Really enjoy , haven’t seen any new in a long time ?

Mmcg17 ,

Genuine and authentic

I have to say that I absolutely love your podcast. When I started in the industry, I’d have to borrow my bosses DVD’s, which were great, but usually high fashion and not applicable to average client. I love that you teach in a very down to earth, humble, and precise way. The way you explain topics make so much sense. Thank you for selflessly sharing your knowledge and striving to make our industry better❤️
