Samantha (@samanthasbeautyconfessions) and I talk about balance - the biggest topic of them all.Everyone is so consumed with this thing called balance and how it's suppose to look a certain way, when that is truly the furtherest thing from the truth. Balance is what looks and feels right to YOU! You can't balance the same way someone else does - you don't have the same lives for heavens sake.It's important to take the tools given to you and use them in your own way, rather force yourself to follow a strict schedule and work at the pace that someone else does. I'm not saying you can't try a new way of life, but when that doesn't pan out, don't beat yourself up.Listen to how Samantha and I balance our lives, the projects we do, and how we conquer it all!Samantha Harman is a hairstylist, educator and social influencer based in Marlow, Oklahoma.

dude, I love the internet man.This is Samantha Harman, or as some may know, @samanthasbeautyconfessions.She reached out to me once she listened to one of my episodes, the episode about my childhood trauma to be exact.She instantly resonated with what I had endured, but also wanted to share her story too.This was the first time a bigger creator reached out to me because of my podcast, and if I'm being honest, I was shocked when she did.The point of my podcast is to bring people together and show them that vulnerability is a beautiful thing. Social media doesn't have to be smoke and mirrors. You can use your platform to create this beautiful space of peace, happiness, and connection. It felt so good that she got the message - that through vulnerability, she felt safe enough to share her story too. She reminds us that she's also a human being. She experiences emotions just like the rest of us. She is just like the rest of us.It feels so good that the podcast is getting into the right hands (or dare I say ears ;)listen to Samantha open up about her childhood, how that shaped her career, and also a devastating divorce.. how she experienced her "aha" moment and it lit a new kind of fire under her ass.Samantha Harman is a hairstylist, educator and social influencer based in Marlow, Oklahoma.

[217] Following up on our recent conversation with Advanced Healing Artist for L'ANZA and Salon Centric influencer Christopher Aaron, we turn our eyes to the UK, where, in a long-overdue change, the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Hairdressing have now been updated to include mandatory training in cutting and styling of afro and textured hair. Featuring haircare specialist and co-founder of Cognito Hair in London, this week's episode explores Shareefa Jennings' journey in the salon industry, her thoughts on the announcement of the new standards, as well as what she deems necessary for growth both as a hairdresser and salon owner, inclusiveness and exceptional client care.

[215] We often talk about creating and fostering welcoming salon spaces for all clients, but are we truly walking the talk if some clients have to travel outside of their neighbourhood to get even just a simple cut and style? Featuring Christopher Aaron (@christopheraaronstudio on Instagram), Advanced Healing Artist for L'ANZA and Salon Centric influencer, this week's episode explores the relationship between hair and identity, the barriers to catering for all types of hair, and discusses fostering inclusion both from an individual and industry-wide perspective. Offering an inclusive experience in your salon doesn't necessarily mean completely changing your setup or services. However, it at least means outgrowing our comfort zone as hairstylists, and to that, there are plenty of benefits.

For my engagement photos I had booked a color correction with @presleypoe. I had this gnarly golden yellow hair with of course different shades throughout because I'm terrible with upkeep! lol! Well, after seven hours sitting in her chair she transformed my hair to a beautiful silvery lavender. It was so fun to sit and be a client. Hairdressers work hard and sometimes it's even difficult to get our own hair done!It's never easy messaging hairdressers or entrepreneurs saying, "Hi, I'm a hairstylist and I have a podcast, I love your work and would love to get to know you more and have you on the show." Sometimes I'll get no response and then others I’ll get a hell yeah! I shot Presley a DM thinking why the hell not. I've looked her up online checking out her other interviews she had done and of course I follow her on IG. I even gone to one of her color classes at Salon Centric. She responded immediately and was stoked. It was really cool. Again and again Presley Poe blows me away. She's been in the industry a few years longer than I have and she is just as passionate about the hair scene as when she first started. Super chill and down-to-earth I had such a great conversation with Presley. I'm really excited about her work and I'm extremely excited for her new endeavor which by the way is absolutely F#$@ing GORGEOUS! Please listen to my interview where we talk about hair, art and Presley Poe's next venture. @goldsalonexperienceInterview Tuesday January 12th 2021

Insta-Famer Daniel Mason Jones                            21 May 18 Insta-Gram fame was my first motivation for interviewing Daniel Mason Jones, an incredibly successful hairdresser with 40,000 IG followers, but his personal journey is wildly compelling filled with sorrow and triumph. Daniel Mason Jones has emerged into an Insta-famer, turning everything he sees and touches into a post that further pushes the fame. He integrates his break neck salon pace in with IG. He lets me know in exceptional detail with wit and humble humor how to duplicate this feat. Instagram fame is achievable for everyone, but it has its costs, like cars, fancy watches and lots of freebies. Daniel has become an influencer. But Daniels personal story is one of personal realization, coming to grips with his strict upbringing.  What interests me is his journey, from religious zealotry to funeral worker to starving stylist to a speed train of success. Daniel Mason Jones says it isn’t about the number of followers, it’s about the engagement. “I have 39,000 plus followers, others have many more’” he says , but “I sometimes have 400 comments per post.” The engagement is significant as the he says he tracks his new client rates from IG to be 70 new clients to his Atlanta salon per week. With an average per client ticket of $93. The salon is being a affected in a very positive way, including, new staff, who are traveling from Florida and other states to join his team. His expectation is a 40% increase in staff this year alone.Daniel Mason Jones, is a Loreal Professonal, a Salon Centric team member and an Insta-Gram influencer. Companies of all sorts want part of his action, with an affluent clientele, he has an important consumer in his salons. He told me about the boxes of products and beauty tools that show up at his door constantly. Each one is an opportunity for more posting. Each box he opens is a reveal done on Facebook or IG.  “Dont give up on Facebook. Facebook has the older clients and they have the non-pigmented hair. The word grey is insulting,” he says. Grabbing pics all day, as his salon with 50 plus employees are all engaged in getting more and more pictures. Throughout the salon is photo lighting, cameras and all sorts of equipment, but he still must drive the staff to get pictures. He advises: ask a question in the post, 30 tags per post, mix up the hash tags, put it under the comments, and make sure only 2 per day on facebook and Instagram, up to 5 on pintrest. Respond to each comment. He is religious and consistent about his pursuit of social media.Maybe his way  has underpinnings to his extremely strict upbringing? Raised in a highly conservative and cloistered community of a cult like religious group, Daniel was shunned by peers in school and a realization from church elders that he was different than other boys in the congregation, he was ostracized, bullied and eventually excommunicated. He contemplated suicide.  Picking himself up and moving on, he always had a dream to work as a funeral director, being concerned for people was and still is his driving force. He found joy in preparing the hair and make-up of the cadavers for the funeral services. Family would compliment him on how wonderful their deceased relatives looked. He decided to flip careers and go into the beauty industry.As a stylists, Daniel's career exploded. Yet, as a beginner he had very little training. He admits that his technical skill was very limited at that time. Yet he was the busiest in his salon. What causes a person’s success: technical skill or other factors? I don’t think the question will ever be answered completely, but his example shows how care  of the guest with lots of concern seems to work. Daniel will talk to you about hustle and how many clients he does each day. He is an energizer, doing up to 42 clients in a single day. Snapping pics, posting, and hash tagging. But his personal charisma is huge! He is a force. Atlanta is a competitive market with a lot of already large successful salons. To break into that market means you have to do something different.  Daniel Mason Jones has a lot to teach all of us.Tony Gordongordonsalon.com @tonygordonsalonexperience @dalielmasonjones  musesalonandspa.com
