Chris Baran's Headcases

This week’s guest is a global ambassador for Redken, a multiple NAHA nominee and winner. She has trained thousands of stylists around the world, she is one of the top colorist in North America, and she is the Creative Director for Dop Dop salon in New York city. I’m ecstatic to chat with Lori Zabel this week for Headcases. 

Lori landed in cosmetology school after her uncle signed her up for it and she got accepted. 

She travelled from Saskatoon to Victoria on her own to try to get hired at Chris Baran’s salon, and coincidentally, Chris had just travelled from Victoria to Saskatoon to train at Lori’s former school. 

“Surround yourself with amazing people and you are going to be the next amazing person”.

My guest this week is a multiple NAHA winner, a global brand ambassador for Redken, an Ulta Beauty Pro team member, an editorial stylist, and a celebrity stylist. Let’s welcome my friend, Sean Godard! 

-Sean says to seize all opportunities as they come along, some might be unpaid but offer greater payout in the future 

-Sean was handpicked to do Redken Artist Training very early in his career and although he was hesitant at first, he took the chance and found out that he had this ability he wasn’t even aware of

-Sean realized that his job as an educator was to help stylists behind the chair do what they do easier, better, and more efficiently

My guest this week is the author of 15 books, he holds multiple Guinness Book of World Records including the most haircuts in 1 hour, the most haircuts in 24 hours and the fastest haircut. He is the CEO of Zootcuts, has a successful YouTube channel, he is a coach, trainer and mentor, and I can’t wait to sit down and hear Ivan Zoot’s story. 

Before he was even a haircutter, Ivan realized that the haircutting business was really a sales business. 

Ivan says “You are in the business of building and maintaining, cultivating and nourishing relationships with humans”

Listen to Ivan rate himself on hairdressing skills vs soft skills 

Ivan describes the “Right Pricing” and respecting the client’s perception of value (the price value proposition). 

Right now, stylists are seeing their clients “down market test”. Listen to find out what Ivan says about this issue.

My guest this week is a ten-time Emmy nominated hairstylist, a four-time Guild Award winning hairstylist. She is the key hairstylist and department head hairstylist for shows such as The Voice, Shark Tank, and Legendary. She is a hair thinning and hair loss expert, and author of The 5 F Words to Manifesting Your Life.  I can’t wait to chat with Jerilynn Stephens about her career path in this interesting industry. 

Jerilynn shares how she became a Hollywood hair and makeup artist in the 1990’s while living in Seattle. It was as if a light bulb went off and she realized that she wanted to work in TV and Film. 

The next few years were spent working on making the career choices to get started. Jerilynn went to Vancouver Film School to learn makeup for Film. She worked on getting her headshots ready for her portfolio, and worked for almost free on any small film that came to her city. She did all the hard work and it took almost six years before she was ready to make the move to LA. 

Listen to Jerilynn describe how her team works on over a hundred contestants in The Voice in only four days. 

Jerilynn shares how during her cancer treatment, she still worked on The Voice and how her team supported her during and had her back when she needed to take time for treatments.

My guest this week was only a student when he became a NAHA finalist. He spent 10 years as an educator internationally and established technical academies across the globe. Today, he oversees the education team at Floyd's 99 Barbershops and this year he publishes his first book in collaboration with his sister Melissa. I've known him for years and I am so excited to share him with you on Headcases. Here is Patrick Butler.

• While at NAHA, he introduced himself to Irvine Rusk and, as a student, asked for career advice. Irvine told him to do good work over and over again until you master it. Fail, start over, and keep doing it.

• While with American Crew, Patrick worked on stage around the world and taught at several AC academies. The experienced built his confidence and developed his skill set beyond his expectations.

• If you can master the cause and effect - the why - in the foundational skills - you will be able to adapt to any challenge or trend that comes your way.

• What does Patrick mean when he says "100% is easy, 90% is hard"?

She is the resident master colorist at the Butterfly Studio salon in New York and she is a L'Oréal Professionnel International Artist. Thousands of hairdressers around the world have used her training videos. She is a corrective color expert and she is my next guest on Headcases: meet Min Kim.

• She thought she was destined to be a doctor, but she was always drawn to the beauty industry.

• In her earliest days as an educator for L'Oréal Professionnel, she realized you have to be true to your authentic self, and not try to wear a version of yourself based on someone else.

• Min wants us to learn from our mistakes - they always have something to teach. Some people get stuck and never get past them.

• Her best advice for stylists just starting out: listen, be present, pay attention. And don't be afraid of failure.
