Hello everyone it’s John here - welcome back to the Shop Talk Podcast, the educational podcast for salon pros looking to up their game.

J, who is a bundle of energy - - is the digital creative director for Oligo pro and Founder of J Ladner Education. He is also the cohost along with Nina Tulio on the No-Stylist left behind podcast.
Even for being relatively young in his career J has done quite a LOT – Starting in Tampa Fl – Jay and his husband moved to North Dakota where they opened J Ladner Salon and quickly became the talk of the town. After 7 years of ownership, they sold the salon, and following their dreams, moved to LA where they reside today.
