"Guru In Your Ear"

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!

Welcome to the second half of our "Let's Get Healthy" series! In our first podcast on August 20th, we delved into the concept of "oxidative stress" and its impact on various issues that our bodies encounter daily.

In this episode, we'll be sitting down with Roger Evans to explore some incredible products that can help combat "age-dependent oxidative stress" and other health concerns, promoting and maintaining optimum well-being.

If you find this topic intriguing and want to learn more, we have included reference links below for your convenience.

Things That Keep Me Up at Night

Hello, friends, and welcome to this episode of Guru in Your Ear!

Last night, as I was winding down, an intriguing thought struck me: the contradictions surrounding the concept of "levels" in our industry. Have you ever observed a group of salon professionals assessing the same head of hair? Despite experiencing it firsthand, there’s always more than one opinion about what the level is.

Is it a level 5?  

Is it a level 6?

In this episode, I want to delve into the background of the level system—its genesis and evolution. We need to explore how we handled hair color before the level system existed and why understanding these founding principles is essential for mastering hair color today.

I can only do this by sharing my personal journey with you. I hope you'll find it interesting and meaningful—a guide to helping you master one of the most unspoken challenges in our profession today.

So, sit back, push play... and 25 minutes later, you might discover insights that could change your life as a hair colorist.

Enjoy the listen!

"Challenging Assumptions: Unlocking Our Journey to Hair Color Mastery"

Introduction:

An assumption is a subconscious belief that often goes unquestioned, influencing our thinking without critical examination. 

In the realm of hair color, the beauty profession is riddled with assumptions. 

These assumptions, ingrained through our education and the way information is conveyed, contribute to confusion and moments of uncertainty. 

To address this issue head-on, we are embarking on a quest this year to dispel these "urban legends" in our new series titled: 

Assumptions… we make that delay our journey to hair color mastery. 

In this podcast, we will touch upon just a few of these assumptions, knowing full well that there is an extensive list to cover. Join us as we peel back the layers and uncover the truth.

We have started this podcast to address a few of the assumptions surrounding hair color mastery. 

However, it's important to note that this is just a glimpse, as we have an extensive list of topics to cover in future episodes. 

Furthermore, we have an exciting addition to our premium podcast. 

We will be delving deeper into the provided information in order to aid your understanding.

So, go ahead and press play! In just 20 minutes, you'll gain valuable insights to overcome the obstacles that may have been holding you back on your hair color journey.

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!
