"Guru In Your Ear" – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Throughout my years behind the chair and as a teacher, I've often been faced with questions that led me down a "rabbit hole" on a journey akin to "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride"—a ride I didn't always want to join. I believe many of these experiences stem from two significant obstacles in our profession.

First, there's a lack of solid foundational education. Second, we see the swift spread of opinions, assumptions, and unfounded information. It seems we love stories and are ready to believe anyone who speaks with conviction. I'm sure you've encountered these sweeping statements that generalize one individual scenario to everyone, particularly when it involves chemical services like hair color, perming, and so on.

I think many of us found that our education emphasized the "how-to" more than the "why" behind chemical services. The science often got glossed over, leaving questions unanswered or met with opinions rather than facts.

Recently, an intriguing topic resurfaced on social media, sparking quite a "firestorm." Surprisingly, many female hairdressers aren't well-versed in this particular subject. So, with your permission, I'd like to shed some light on it. I believe that understanding this topic can help you address those unexpected results that sometimes leave us puzzled.

The question was: "Does a woman's menstrual cycle affect how her hair responds to color or lightener?"

It never ceases to amaze me how much misinformation floods our profession daily.

This often stems from a lack of standards, accountability, and consequences in presenting knowledge labeled as "truth" without any scientific support or validation.

Regrettably, much of this information is based on opinion, assumption, and marketing hype.

Today, I want to address some information that has been causing confusion in recent weeks.

There are claims circulating that certain brands state their products have no background color. They suggest this narrative was crafted by a few manufacturers for educational purposes.

So today, I invite you to join me as I aim to bring clarity and truth to this topic.

Go ahead, press start, and in 19 minutes, you might just have an epiphany about the difference between tales and truth.

Enjoy listening!

What is "Pigment Weight"?

The concept of "Pigment Weight" is often a source of confusion and has been frequently asked about without attaining proper clarity. Having taught about Pigment Weight for the past 5 years, and having it as a fundamental aspect of my education throughout the past 40 years, I can provide some insights to bring clarity to this topic.

To begin, it is important to understand that Pigment Weight is a visual metric, rather than a physical one. This is the case for all of the metrics employed in hair color theory - they are visual in nature and not physical measurements.

Surprising, isn't it?

If you find yourself asking, "Why should I know this?" or "Why is it important?", then you definitely need to listen to this episode. And if your curiosity isn't satisfied, you should check out the extended version of this podcast available on Spotify with a Premium Subscription.

By grasping and applying this valuable concept, you will empower yourself and enhance your ability to achieve successful hair color results in your salon business.

So, go ahead and hit that play button. In just 24 minutes, you'll understand why this information is essential for everyone to learn.

Enjoy the listening experience!

Let's delve into the intriguing history of hair color.

I absolutely adore our profession! There's nothing else quite like it, where we can express our artistic talents on a canvas that is with our clients day in and day out.

Our profession is not just about creating visually stunning masterpieces. We also have the incredible privilege of being there for our clients in times of difficulty, as a source of motivation, a listening ear when they're stressed, and a guide when we help them enhance their best features.

It's a multifaceted relationship that often lasts for years. We have the power to not only make our clients look better but also to make them feel better. We all know the saying, "When you look great, you feel great."

However, this also means that we must constantly educate ourselves to ensure that we execute our skills with the utmost precision and quality.

"The 'rub' often comes when we encounter an alternative version of a story, rather than the true facts. Many individuals tend to add their own spin to the essential principles necessary for achieving success.

Throughout this series, we aim to distinguish between opinions and principles. Let's start by revisiting the very beginning!

Join us as we take you on a journey through time and present the complete history, instead of an edited version, of the elements in hair color. By understanding the true meaning behind these elements, you'll gain more clarity and knowledge to pave your way towards a successful career.

So, press play... and after 35 minutes and 7 seconds, you'll have a clear pathway ahead of you.

Did you enjoy Episode 1?

Did you walk away with any discoveries?

I'm certain you did!

And now, here's our exciting 2nd episode featuring Jez Barnett.

Paradigm:

In the context of science and philosophy, a paradigm refers to a specific collection of concepts and thought patterns, encompassing theories, research methods, postulates, and criteria for identifying valid contributions within a particular field. Derived from the Greek word meaning "pattern," the term paradigm is employed to demonstrate similar patterns of occurrences. 

In this episode, I am thrilled to have Jez Barnett, my colleague and friend, join me as a guest. Jez is the innovator and founder of Innolux products based in the U.K.

You might be wondering why I would invite a product manufacturer as a guest, considering that my company is "non-branded". 

It's actually quite simple. One of my greatest epiphanies occurred when I realized how much your paradigm influences your belief systems and shapes your viewpoints.

Believe it or not, Jez and I actually agree on a lot more than we may have differing opinions about. It is because of our common ground that 

I believe you will find his contribution beneficial and enlightening. 

In this two-part episode, we will cover many subjects and I am confident that you will discover some valuable insights that can help you on your path to success. 

I assure you that Jez is warm, inviting, engaging, and a wealth of knowledge. 

So, press play and let's begin part 1!

A testimonial from a student about our Hair Color School!

When it comes to promoting our educational programs, it's often easy to underestimate the importance of how effective they are, because we've personally been involved in creating them, and naturally, we believe in their efficacy and the value of their content.

However, no matter how much effort and hard work we put into developing these programs, the true measure of their success lies in whether or not the information is effectively transferred to the students and if they find it genuinely helpful.

In this special episode, we have a guest who happens to be one of our colleagues. She attended our first flagship program, Hair Color School, and is currently enrolled in our second flagship program, Hair Color University.

This provides a unique opportunity for you to hear directly from a student and learn about her impressions and experiences.

So go ahead, press play, and in just 20 minutes, you too might find yourself compelled to experience this remarkable program for yourself.

Have you ever heard someone use the phrase, "I wish I could be a fly on the wall during that meeting"?

We've all had those moments when we wish we could record some of the crazy nonsense that we hear. In this episode, Max and I discuss a recent adventure in a meeting that brings us back to the familiar subject of protein. We all use "protein" in our everyday vocabulary, but many in our profession still don't fully understand it.

A friend of mine described it this way: it's like a driver's license. Just because you pass a test and get your driver's license doesn't mean you're a great driver. It means you have enough knowledge to keep you out of too many crashes.

Just knowing is not enough. As hairdressers, we have to seek a deeper understanding of the medium we work with: the chemicals we apply and the tools we use. It's through continuous discovery that we can truly master our craft.

Why not take 30 minutes and 7 seconds to listen and see if you make any new discoveries?

Enjoy the listen!
