So if you're interested please check the description box and sign up to come. And now I am walking over to Google to get lunch and meet up with Janice! Me again. Hi Janice! Oh my gosh! Look it, look it! She's the one that got engaged y'all. She's the one.

I'm gonna be her bridesmaid guys! So that means I'm gonna be back in America for another three months for this one! I'm sorry No, no, no! Of course! I love Janice! And then Sharon's changing because, you know, she is not ready to be on JoanDay yet. But she is! She just had work. Hi everyone! Janice: You're not taller than her.
Joan: We're the same. I'm -- dude it's because you're in front of me.

Sharon's working from home and just wanna sh-- Wait! Where did the baseball game go! Wait hold on! The game ended. No it didn't! Now I have to work. She works really hard. We're researching where to go for the bachelorette and We're going to play with wolves.

And we're gonna float boats like that. Look how dope that is. That--unless there's an escalator, Joan will not go up that hill. We'll just airlift Joan in and out.

Sounds good! That's so funny! Sharon: We'll buy the plane that does this kinda stuff.
Janice: Joan will be in that plane and we'll be hiking up the mountain. They know me too well. That's the truth. Joan will be in that cottage while we play with snow.

While we play on the snow. The truth is all coming out. We're on our way to get our nails done. If you guys look close up, they're gross right now! Don't look at it in the eye! Don't look at it! We're gonna get our nails done! And then probably go straight to salad afterwards? There's this place called Intermezzo in Berkeley.

One of my favorite salad places in the world! Actually -- Yeah, I never ate salads before. Same here! That's what I was just about to say! I was like, why would anyone pay for a salad? But Intermezzo is so good and it's finally back. It's like this big. Okay it's not that big, it's like this big.

And then the bread is good. The bread is really good. It's like a sweet wheat. For sure! But yeah, we're heading over to get our nails done.

So excited! I love East Bay. East Bay is nice. It's calmer. Much calmer.

Cheers! Oh! She's better than me. I learn. She is, she's better than me. Wow, this is so good! Like if I have a house, I kinda want it to look like this.

Millennial pink. I can totally see it. Janice is very plain, minimal. Black and white.

They have this little tray so I could put all of my jewelry in there. You can't really see it. I love it! Yes! It's like right there, the yellow building. Where are we going? We're going to Madewell.

Madewell. It's such a Janice store. This shirt is from Madewell. It's probably gonna be there.

Gonna be embarrassed. Such a Janice store. And now we're going to Berkeley! We're gonna walk around campus. I wanna buy some Cal gear because I don't have any.

Are you even a Cal Bear? Go Bears! Did you even go to this school? Oh my gosh. But I used to have a sweater or two in college. A sweater? That's it? But I just never wore it around campus as much. When I was a freshmen I was a little more like into it.

Cause we had to go to football games. Right, well I went to one football game. But yeah. We're gonna walk around, probably get some Cal gear, get some salad at Intermezzo! Meet up with Sharon because she'll be done with work by then.

"Work". And then I'm gonna head back to San Francisco! School pride. I want that sweater right there. I'm going with the gray one and she picked a shirt.

Wait those PJ's are so cute! Yeah, are those boxers or PJ's? Oh they're PJ's. This is JoanFood worthy. What did we order? Chef Salad with Chicken Salad. Poppyseed! Yes! This bread is the best! It really is! It's so large.

We're sharing one because it's just too much food. I got a soup and a salad or a soup and a sandwich. Oh my gosh! I missed these two so much! You guys all missed her right? And no, she's not getting married until March. Everyone thought I came for her wedding.

Oh this time around? Yeah, but it's Christine's. How was the food? Wonderful. It was really good. I'm gonna see her again on Sunday.

And then I don't know when I'm gonna see you again. Maybe next week? Yeah, maybe. Yay! Alright, let's head over to home first. Whose home? Your home.

But she's not coming with us. She's going somehwere. We got stuffs to do. She has stuffs to do.

I missed her! She's my little egg. Egg? Egg. She loves eggs. I love eggs.

Back home now and I wanted to save the gummy bears but she just told me that they expire on her wedding day. So let's try some! This is the Pressed Juicery green juice gummy bears. Is this healthy?! No. It's not, look at the sugar content.

Oh yeah, okay. I just turned it. It looks healthy but it's a lie. Oh! They're so small! Oh these are good! These are so good! They're delicious! Wow! I can't believe they expire on your wedding day.

Is that something you wanted? No! I don't buy food that are on the expiration date. And then there's a candle in here. Janice loves candles. She teaches me about cups and candles.

You teach me about cups. I know my Acme and Heath cups because of you. That sounds so boring. It's okay.

Here's the card and then she made a shirt. And then she made a shirt for us. It's just a shirt. It says 'J' on it.

It's a Everlane shirt! Of course it is knowing Janice. Dude, those shirts are awesome! I know. I have like every color. I got them because of you in college.

Yeah so I hope you guys enjoyed watching today's vlog. I feel like it was all over the place again. But that just happens when you're reunited with some of your friends and I went from SF to Berkeley and now East Bay. Yeah, Emeryville.

All over the place, but I hope you guys enjoyed watching. Here's the shoutout of the day for those of you guys who translated this vlog right here and I will see you in tomorrows. JoanDay doeseyo! Annyeong! This side of the hand is cuter because of this nail. Wow! Oh oh oh! Oh no.

That was not on purpose. Sorry guys..

- This is my room Okay, wow Super minimal and.. - This is Timmy, I just met Timmy
- Hi! - Timmyturnthair
- Okay. I'll link all of their Instagrams like right here You could just tell by the way he touches my hair that he's a pro. - I've been doing it for way too long.


- He has. Ivan what are you gonna do today? I'm gonna film my YouTube tutorial right here. - Right here?
- Right here. Okay - Subscribe to Ivan!
- But I don't know what look to do.

How's it looking? Good, we're doing a treatment before we start bleaching We're probably gonna do very little today so we know what to expect and then the next time you come, we can do more. Okay, yes, because my hair's so gold right now Yes, we could fix that part. He's a dedicated YouTuber. Excuse me.

You?! Excuse yourself, this is my room. He's wiping off the bleach Yeah Just so, coz now we have a good idea of what the hair looks like So then I don't wanna do more than what it needs to so we wipe it off till everything catch up - But now you can see like whatever's light that they got you, it looks really light.
- Oh. Whatever is dark, it's like orange still - It's still very yellow right?
- Mhmm So it's easier for us to see and like, so we know what to expect Coz a lot of times they will dye it and make it really light and they'll darken it and then you don't know what's underneath. - Yeah
- So if a stylist just comes in and just like bleach all of it, they don't know that, it's like really light under So that's why we put the treatment and then a weak formula over it then you can see what we're dealing with.

Hi Ivan, you're in my vlog. - Hi
- Umm, I like the Saem - The Saem for under eye too?
- Mhmm Wow, the lighting here's so great. - We should do a 'Get Ready With Me' later
- We will
- Yeah - I brought um like cleansing balms so we can do makeup together
- Oh, okay They're so detailed We're a third of the way there He's so like..He's so picky. - Right?
- Mhmm - Which is good, right?
- He's also a picky eater - Is he a picky eater?
- A little bit Oh my gosh, me too.

My mom used to call me a garbage disposal because I would eat anything. - Everything?
- Yeah, anything and everything. It's so bright now It's getting there Wow, such a pro. Look at this, that was after one.

Miles! I'm finally meeting him Hi, how are you? - And then look at Ivan's hair.
- Yeah he looks great Check out this bun. I know, isn't it everything? Miles love it. He wants a tutorial. - So, you get all the hair right?
- Right and you're gonna hold the hair longs, like, long longways and you're just gonna wrap it first the hair and what you're gonna do is, you're just gonna twist it and then
- Oh my god, you twist it.

Iconic - Iconic!
- Wrap it around and there's a hole right there, you kinda, bring it through right there Soo, we're cutting Joan's hair right now. Look at the hair. Alright Joan, how do you feel about getting your hair cut so much? Why does it sound so creepy? Oh my God. That's my narrator voice.

That's your like..Never mind can't say it. Narrator voice. So this is what I would look like with blonde hair, but we are going to color my hair now. What colors? Everything.

Everything, just kidding. Not everything. Here it is everybody. It's purple.

After many requests, I went for purple because majority of you guys wanted that. And he's curling my hair. He told me that I should be curling my hair with the lowest heat. I never did that before, I always used 230 or 460 fahrenheit so 230 celsius, 460 fahrenheit.

I always went with the 230 celsius?! Yeah, I always went with the highest. I know But then he was like "don't do that!" And I was like "okay". That's really high I know but it gets the curls done and my curls last for three days. Sorry if that grosses you out.

I don't wash my hair everyday. No, it's good. I don't wash my hair everyday. Yeah Yay, he's curling it for me too but what do you guys think? It's supposed to change after every wash so since I vlog every day, you'll see the progress.

- I'll link the information to the salon because Ivan's gonna send it to me, right?
- Yeah And you have to make an appointment if you want to come here. It's not a walk-in salon coz he's a famous hair stylist. So these are the products that I'm getting. This is the shampoo and then for conditioner I'm going to be using this.

It's tinted pink and then to treat my hair This is HIS brand, and then it's a leave-in hair reconstructor - and this is not available anywhere yet?
-Yes. - But stay tuned.
- Maybe next year. -Yeah, maybe next year.

And then this one, this one's the one you like if you want to take care of your hair, like seriously take care of it before you shampoo, just put this on. - Oh, okay.
- Leave it for a little bit,
shampoo and then use the Hyperfix - Got it.
- So those three will make it a lot better. - Okay, thank you!
- Yay Wow, this is heavy stuff. Dinner time.

You look so pretty with your hair like that Stop - Hi
- Hi I'm here with Cydnee and Karen. Hey! Annyeonghaseyo Alright guys, I'm back home now, and I realized I didn't film a closure for the vlog so I'm doing it now. Here's the shout out of the day for those of you guys who translated and transcribed my vlog. I hope you all have a Joan day, Annyeong!.

TRIP TO THE SALONAshley Gosiengfiao

Hey everyone! I've been getting a ton of requests for the past...Year? Years? I know, I'm sorry it's been so long and here it is. You guys have been asking me for a video tutorial on how I color my hair, how I maintain the color of my hair, and the health of my hair despite all the coloring. As you can see, my hair is quite hideous right now. The grays are kind of yellowish already, and my roots are around an inch or 2 inches long.

It's kind of beyond any DIY saving right now, so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take you guys with me to the salon! So I've got my dyes with me. And I haven't shampooed for a few days- Ah! My phone just fell. Anyway, so I haven't shampooed my hair for a few days now. I know, disgusting right? But that's to lessen the damage of the bleaching.

So, I'm more than ready so let's go! Okay! So my sister is with me. She will be having her hair colored as well. I wanna make it black again. I'm tired.

Yeah, you just had your hair brown for, like, a few weeks - and now she wants it back to black.
- Yeah 'cause it's so hard to maintain! - Aww!
- Like, it's already black - I don't want it anymore.
- Can you imagine mine?? I know, right? It's so hard. This is Indigo Salon. This is the salon that I've been going to for the past 3 years. So this is Ms.

Lorna, she's my stylist. - Hi!
- This is Ate Sally. We've been doing this funky colored hair thing for 3 years already. And we all started actually without knowing anything about it and then we experimented, and we grew together and now, just name any color, and we've done it already.

How about this one, Ash? What do you think? Isn't this one too black? This is the color of your regrowth. Ah, this one. Okay, let's go with this one. Hiiii! Hi, Ate Sally! Hello! So, she's bleaching my roots to get it as light blonde as possible to get it ready for the gray dye.

Bleach usually stings the scalp but I was just really lucky and blessed to have a pretty numb scalp. Man-head. Man-head! Manhid head. Ate Sally is going to put this Micro Mist on me to make the process faster.

We're going to use this for 15 minutes before rinsing the bleach out of my hair. A lot of people have been asking me what I use to dye my hair gray and this is it! It's the Wella 050 Cooling Violet Toner and what you do is you mix it with developer then apply that to light blonde hair and then you leave it for 30-45 minutes. We will be showing you guys how to do it after my roots are bleached. I got these from Rainbow Head PH.

They also have Manic Panic, Arctic Fox, Wella, Bleach London and a lot of other brands of awesome dyes. If you guys are interested, I will link you guys and the links will be in the description box down below. Around an hour has passed since Ate Sally started applying the bleach to my roots so this is how it looks now. This is how it looks like after.

It's kinda yellow. This part still has the gray dye in it. So, that's the toner. Ms.

Lorna will be mixing it with developer. And we use 2 bottles of that Wella dye. - How much developer do we need?
- Same. 1:1.

I'll open the 2nd bottle later, so it won't be exposed to the air. - Oh, so this is just one bottle?
- Yes. Ah, okay. The consistency has to be thick.

Here is the dye being applied. So, it doesn't look like anything right now but it's going to magically turn my hair silver in a while. And it's difficult to do this on yourself, because you won't be able to see the back of your head. And it has to be fast.

That's how fast my hair reacts to the dye. It looks like violet. My hair's gray now! So, we will be leaving this for around 30-45 minutes but as you can see it's already gray. This is how it turned out, and Sally put this in my hair.

It's [[TIGI Bed Head Blow-Out Golden Illuminating Shine Cream]] to make my hair softer and shinier. I am getting my hair trimmed by Ms. Lorna. So, this is the finished product! It's a little wet, still.

I'm gray-headed again! So that was it! I hope you guys enjoyed that video. If you learned something new today, or if you just had fun watching me get my hair colored and done, please give this video a thumbs up! I will be coming up with new hair tutorials soon. Please don't forget to subscribe to my channel. And I will see you guys in my next video! Thank you! Buhbye!.

It's been almost a year since I've come here. But there aren't any Armenian restaurants in Korea. I really want to eat Armenian food, but there is none. What should we do for you? It's Easter in Armenia.

I found an Armenian family living in Suwon. You found an Armenian family in Suwon? They invited me. They're holding a small party for Easter. Right.

Right. So there would be many Armenians there today. Yes. So I invited my friends, too.

You have friends, too? - How many? / - Two. This is what Sam told me. Armenia is the country of beautiful women. (Embarrassed) Armenia is the country of beautiful women.

(Perplexed) Tell us now. Be honest, Sam. Is it going to be Armenia or Cameroon? Be honest. There's no time.

(What will Okyere choose?) Is it going to be Armenia or Cameroon? I can't betray David. Brotherhood. Brotherhood to the end. He is so sly.

Let's do our best. ("Russia" Misook & Sugeun team) ("Armenia" Siyeon & Iljung team) ("Cameroon" Dahey & Okyere & Yuan team) (They're off to cook the students' hometown dishes) Sangga is corn porridge, right? Yes. Sangga is not Korean, right? (No, it doesn't mean an apartment complex) The point is you have to call your mom and we have to follow her exact recipe. That's how we try to satisfy you.

Is your mom from Cameroon? Yes. My dad is Korean. Oh, your dad is Korean. Sangga is Cameroonian and your mom cooks it.

We should call your mom and get her recipe. Is your dad in Cameroon? Or in Korea? In Cameroon. He lives with your mother in Cameroon. - You came to Korea by yourself? / - Yes.

You should learn the Cameroonian dance. There's a Cameroonian dance? - Coupe-Decale. / - Coupe-Decale. Coupe-Decale? Oh.

Coupe-Decale. Coupe-Decale. (Great pronunciation) - Did I pronounce it well? / - Yes. I pronounced it right.

Coupe-Decale. Young people love this song these days. It's the hottest group. (Music video of "Coupe-Decale") (Fluent) (You're good) You're good.

What does it mean? Men must get close to women. (Oh) (Whoa) (Oh my) It's too sexual. It's too erotic. (But she can't take her eyes off it) (She's feeling the African rhythm) You know Maitre Gims, right? Maitre Gims.

Yes. (Another hottest African musician) (Sapes comme jamais- Maitre Gims) (Sapes comme jamais~) (Men must dress up well) (Music video of "Sapes comme jamais") (She's releasing her hidden African groove) Why am I enjoying this? I want to go to Ghana! It's totally my style. It's nice. (Dahey, come on!) We must keep our hair short to look good.

(Black people's pride in their hairline) The angle is very important. So you don't like his hair right now? I don't think he knows a good barber. Where do you get your haircut? - Haircut. / - Hairdresser.

Hairdresser. Nearby my place. There's a beauty parlor. I'll take you to the place that I go to.

Again? Today is David's day. I want to do everything for me. Really? Thank you. Your friend doesn't own the place, does he? We're close friends.

Seriously? Everybody knows me there. I admit. You're quite impressive, Sam. Please stop here.

(They've arrived in Itaewon) (A small global village in Seoul, Itaewon) Welcome to Itaewon. Please show us around. (Welcome to Itaewon by Okyere) Dahey, do you come here often? No. Do you come often? It's my second time.

Itaewon is awesome. Really? There are many great restaurants. And there are so many things to do. We're in Korea.

Why am I asking you what Itaewon is like? We must get David a haircut. The beauty parlor is here. There's a barbershop and a beauty parlor. I don't need to get a haircut.

Look at this place. We're suddenly not in Korea. (The entrance looks very exotic) (Okyere's friends happen to come out) Are we really in Korea? Hi. Hello.

(Nice to meet you) Are you Sam's friends? Yes. (Do you speak Korean?) (A little) (Another friend?) Is he your friend, too? No? He's a stranger. (Perplexed) Come in. Let's go.

Oh my. (Looks very exotic) Wow! (The center of this zone is Sam "Ochili") This is what you're going to do. (They must be going to a club after doing their hair) - It's gotten too quiet. / - This place is nice.

I usually get my hair done here. (After passing through an exotic alley) (There's a hot beauty parlor for black people) It doesn't feel like I'm in Korea. Hello. Hello.

Excuse me. (Dahey is in a new world) (Okyere's friends are everywhere) He knows everybody. You can have a seat here, Dahey. Be comfortable.

There are so many customers here. It's a hot place on weekends. (Many types of hairstyles) Choose what you'd like. I like no.

3. That doesn't look good. No. 12.

No. 12. David likes no. 12.

He wants the no. 12 Style He made a good choice. No. 12 Is very similar to the shape of David's head.

- No. 12? / - Yes. - He must know it. / - He knows.

They all look the same to me. I can't tell what the differences are but he knows it well. (The customer is done) Is it David's turn now? (David, you're up next) He can speak French. (Today's hair designer) I'll take off your jacket.

Relax. (This is Korea... Who am I?) (It's an unbelievable situation) I don't know what I'm going through right now. (She dances to a song she's never heard before) Why am I enjoying this? (She gets a tour guide from foreigners) (This is strange) (I'm the only Korean in Korea) Are we in Korea? (What is this strange place?) (I've never experienced this before...) This is something you've never experienced.

This is Korea, but I'm the foreigner. There's Chinese here. How could be this? This is so strange. (Hairstyling begins) (Please make him look good) You seem to be nervous.

Are you alright? Oh! (What's going on here?) He's brushing David's hair. That looks quite strange. Doesn't it hurt? Does it feel good? (Amazed) It's amazing how he brushes his hair. (Customized tool for customers' hair) It's different.

(Amazed) I never knew a haircut could be this interesting. David looks very satisfied. (This is just my style) David, you're okay with it? Call me often. (The highlight of the today's haircut) He's doing it right now.

Making the hairline. (Black people's hairstyle is all about hairline) Hairline is very important. I don't think he knows a good barber. (Okyere's favorite place / Professional hairline place) (Focused) (That's it) (She's impressed by the professional's touch) (They're the best with hairlines) (Detailed hairline) (David smiles big with his hairline) You look so much better.

You look so cute. Let's see. You look great. (Everybody seems satisfied) (Clean) You look like a poodle.

I own a poodle. I must pay. (Dahey will pay for David all day) - What do you think? / - I love it. You like it? Now that he looks good, where are we headed? I said my friends are here, right? Let's go meet my friends.

Sangga. We must buy the ingredients. Let's go. (Thank you.

We'll be back next time) Is it okay to barge into your friend's place? Wait. Is there a party going on? They're having fun. (It's party time) Is anybody home? Is anybody home? (Immersed in dancing) (Knock knock) You told your friends that we're coming, right? Someone's opening the door. (Nice to see you, buddy) Come in.

Come in. Hello. (It's nice to meet you...) Hello. Hello.

Nice to meet you. (Slightly awkward) - Hello. / - David, come in. Hello.

They were already holding a party. Beer. Beer. Beer.

Beer. That's awesome. Drunken broadcasting. It's 4 p.M.

And they're already drinking. Is it okay to be drunk on television? (After they say hello to each other) (They become close quite fast) Were you two friends before? He's younger than I am. How nice. He's your older brother.

(It's like separated family members reunited) You two look so happy. Where did you get this? - You brought it from home? / - Yes. From where? (The jembe is from Africa) You brought it by plane from your country? (This video...) (I know this song) One, two, three, four. (Let's have fun) (Again, Party time) (She's letting her mind go?) (Coming soon).

Toy Hair Salon ! Toys and Dolls Fun with Rapunzel Hairstyles & Draw N Style Hair Color Markers

Mother Gothel: Rapunzel, Rapunzel!! Rapunzel: Yes mother Gothel, I'm here. Mother Gothel: Look what I brought you for your eighteenth birthday. Rapunzel: Oh mother Gothel its beautiful I love it. Mother Gothel: It's for you to take care of your hair, my source of eternal youth (laughs evilly) I hope this would keep you entertained and will get that silly idea of seeing the world out of your head.

Rapunzel: Oh mother Gothel I love it I love it, thank you very much. Mother Gothel: Goodbye, Rapunzel Rapunzel: Goodbye mother Gothel. Oh this is so much fun. I'll do my hair before I have a chance to
go see the world.

(Music) Storieswithdolls: Hi boys and girls, today we will be playing with these Rapunzel toys and I am so excited because I love long hair. Today we are going to create many hair styles for Rapunzel. Lets start!! First lets open the beauty salon. The back of the box tells us what we can do with this toy.

(Music) We're almost done, putting Rapunzel's beauty salon together. It comes with all kinds of fun things and accessories. These hooks over here for hanging the scissors. This brush with Rapunzel on the back.

Shampoo and conditioner which we can put here on this shelf that is decorated like Rapunzel's tower. And right here in this tower we can put this
little piece that looks like strands of Rapunzels hair, and thats exactly where we will hang
these strands of hair that we can add to Rapunzels hair. It also comes with this Pascal hair clip. Lets put it here.

Boys and girls, how exciting!! Rapunzels beauty salon is ready. Lets open the doll so we can start styling
her hair. I really like this doll because it comes with these markers and these stencils so that we can draw on her hair. Well I guess the first thing that came out
of the box is this comb, now here's the doll.

I love her transparent glittery shoes. They remind me of Cinderellas glass slippers. It comes with this barrette in the shape of
a magic flower. It also comes with two more barrettes, one with sun that is typical of Rapunzel and this one with the flower again.

It comes with this magic mirror that can be
converted into a stencil. We put it in Rapunzels hair and close it. And here we can color her hair with this marker, it comes with two more stencils that we can use and these two markers. Now for the fun part lets start making
hair styles for Rapunzel.

I'm going to take a strand of hair from here, one from here and I am going to add this barrette. And now I'm going to do the same by taking a strand of hair from here and another from here, and I'm going to add this one. Finally I am going to take a strand of hair from here and another from here and I'm going to put this barrette. Here is how the hair style turned out.

Lets call it Spring Fest. Now we are going to take two strands from
the front again. But this time thicker. I'm going to twist them, I'm going to bring them together, and I'm going to continue twisting them until they form a bun.

With this leftover hair, I'm going to clip
it to a strand of hair from down here using this barrette. Lets comb her hair...And this is her hair
style. We'll call this one...Glamour nights. How about if we do another one? This time we're going to take all the hair
in the front and we're going to add the braid.

Now lets take half of the hair that was
left over and circle the braide around it. We'll secure her hair with a sun clip,
and here it is, all done. We'll call this hair style Rapunzels
Flower and Sun. For this last one I'm going to cheat a bit,
because the set doesnt come with a rubber band but I am going to use this one.

I'm going to make a pony tail, tie it down here. Then I'm going to make a space in the middle and pass the hair through the space. And lets add the Pascal clip. We will call this one, Pascal on vacation.

And now, lets pretend to cut her hair. We connect the two flowers like this and attach it to the hair here. Now her hair is really long. We're going to cut her hair.

Oh no!! We cut Rapunzel's hair! (Laugh) Just kidding friends, we can put it back and make her hair very long. Or we can also use it to decorate her hair
with different colors. Now what do you think if we draw hearts to
match the highlights in her hair? We clip the hair, we put the magic mirror,
and, let's color! Ready! Lets see how it looks!! Oh look how nicely the heart turn out!! Now lets try the purple, oh a purple heart!! And now her hair is purple and pink! Rapunzel: (laugh) I'm having so much fun with all these things. (Laugh) Lets see what this could be.

Lets see, let leave this here. Oh it sprays water, it must be some sort of
shower head to wash my hair. (Footsteps) Huh, what was that? Flynn: Hi Rapunzel! Rapunzel: Flynn! What a surprise! Flynn: I was passing by and I said, I should visit that cute girl from the tower, ha ha but I
see today you look more beautiful than ever. Rapunzel: (laugh) Are you referring to the crazy things I am
doing to my hair? Oh yes, I was having so much fun.

Flynn: Thats good because now we can go get some ice cream. What do you think? Rapunzel:
I think that is a great idea, lets go!! Mother Gothel: Rapunzel!! Rapunzel: (gasps) Mother Gothel, oh Flynn what am I going to do? Flynn: Hit her with a pan, like you've hit me before. Rapunzel: Flynn! I can't do that! Go hide, go hide! Flynn: But where? Where? Rapunzel: I dont know, anywhere!! I'm coming mother Gothel! Go hide! Flynn: Uh uh uh, where do I hide? Where do I hide? I'll just go behind the mirror. Mother Gothel: I came to see how you're doing with the gift I gave you.

Rapunzel: Great mother Gothel, look how I did my hair. Do you like it? Mother Gothel: Youll take good care of it right? Rapunzel: Yes of course Mother Gothel: Lets see I have to make sure you have everything you need. Rapunzel: Oh, wait Mother Gothel, (laugh) Mother Gothel: Whats wrong Rapunzel? Rapunzel: (nervous laughter) Nothing, why dont you comb my hair in the kitchen instead? Yes, lets go to the kitchen. Mother Gothel: And why would we go to the kitchen if all your stuff is here? Rapunzel: (nervous stammering) it's because, it's because, because I'm a little hungry.

Why dont we have dinner instead? Mother Gothel: Dinner? But its only two!! Rapunzel: (Laughs) I'm so silly it must be because I'm so hungry. How about lunch? Can we have lunch together? Mother Gothel: Rapunzel!! If you're hungry, go to the kitchen and eat. I'm really not hungry. I'll wait here.

Rapunzel: Mother Gothel!! Mother Gothel:
Go eat girl, you need to eat well. What is going on with that girl? She's acting so weird. Flynn: Oh no!! What should I do, she's coming, she's coming over here! Mother Gothel & Flynn: (screaming) Rapunzel: Mother Gothel! Mother Gothel! Flynn: I'll take the opportunity to leave. Mother Gothel: Rapunzel, there was a man there.

I'm sure I saw him, I'm sure I saw him. Rapunzel: Mother Gothel, l dont know what you're talking about. There's nothing there, come Mother Gothel, I'll make some camomille tea to calm you. Storieswithdolls: Later.

Rapunzel: Ugh, finally she's gone and best of all I was able to convince her that there was nobody there. Flynn: So what do you say. Can we go for that ice cream now? Rapunzel: Oh Flynn I thought you left. Flynn: No, I found a better place to hide.

I'd invited you for ice cream and you said yes. Rapunzel: Oh Flynn, ok, lets go. Storieswithdolls: Boys and girls, I hope you liked these Rapunzel toys. If you enjoyed the video, dont forget to like it.

And, in the comments tell me which hair style you like best..

The Hippest Korean Hair Salon + Best Products for Bleached & Damaged Hair

Good morning everyone! Today, I have another hair video. I know I just did the video
on the Rainbow Hair, But then, I think it's two days after that, I went to go get it
professionally bleached, and now my hair has gray,
purple and pink in it. Subtitle presented by
innisfree Say goodbye to this hair color. Innisfree launches event booth
on KCON 2017 NY.

So, they covered my ears, so that none of the bleach
will get into my ears and also, it protects my earrings. Say hello to my hairdresser. She's so cute. Meet us at KCON 2017 NY
Prudential Center (June 23-24) I look like a superhero,
but she's bleaching my hair, and then, you guys will see.

Say hi to the captain. Yeah. Hello. He's the captain.

Say goodbye. Innisfree launches event booth
on KCON 2017 NY. In Korea, you get to really know
your hairdresser. So we like shared
about each other's lives and she used to be a model.

Doesn't she looked like one, though? I wanna film a video with her, so, if you are interested,
comment down below. Let's film a video together. Gosh. Gosh.

She's so cute. And she's so young, she's 21,
Korean age. In the US her age would be 20. -Is it past your birthday?
-No, not yet.

-Oh, so she's 19.
-Gosh! -Nineteen.
-No way. She's so cute. It turned out a little brighter. -But it's still reddish.
-Okay.

We need to get rid of the red color more. So, first round of bleaching done. On to part two. We're switching over.
The captain is now going to do my hair.

Meet us at KCON 2017 NY
Prudential Center (June 23-24) So excited. Meet us at KCON 2017 NY
Prudential Center (June 23-24) We're finally going to wash this off. Oh my gosh, there's puppies in here! Okay, shampoo time. Oh, I'm so excited.

Bad angle. Wash is finished. Secret. I'm so excited to see how it came out.

-You're all set.
-Thank you. Innisfree launches event booth
on KCON 2017 NY. This is a product that's going
to protect my scalp, because we're about to go into the dye. She's so cute.

She says I'm so cute. Oh man. He's using a special hair dye that is basically
going to treat my hair as well which is very important because my hair
is so damaged right now. And this hair dye
actually smells quite good.

It was at Lumio,
and if you guys go in and tell them that I referred you guys, you guys will get 30 percent off, so check the details
to find out where it is and, yeah, I highly wanna recommend them just because they're super nice people
and they're super hip. But the color looks
even greater outside so, I'm so obsessed
with my hair right now. So, thank you, Lumio. And I wanted to share
how I will start taking care of this because it is really important
to make sure you treat your hair with the proper oils
when your hair is bleached and damaged.

And, first, we have the Daddy-O shampoo
from Lush. And I actually picked this up
when I was in London, and it was much cheaper than Korea. Because Korea tends to double the price
of Lush products. And, at first,
when I shared it in the haul, a lot of you guys commented
saying that it dried out your hair, But, luckily,
that wasn't the case for me because I always follow up
with a conditioner and some kind of hair treatment.

So, I didn't have that problem yet. But this is helping me maintain
the color of my hair. A lot of you guys might think
that my hair color hasn't changed too much but it definitely has balanced because before,
my roots were very black and dark, but then, now, it's kinda even and the hair dresser did say that through every wash,
the color will start changing so, I'm very excited to see
how it will turn out. But the Daddy-O shampoo is the only
purple shampoo I could find in Korea, but then since I am going to America soon I think I'm gonna pick up a bigger bottle
of another brand of purple shampoo, so if you wanna recommend any,
comment down below because I will be on the search
for that purple shampoo.

For conditioner,
I have the Lush Hair Conditioner. And this is also from the Daddy-O line, and I received this as a gift
from a subscriber from Korea, so thank you so much, because I am obsessed
with how soft it makes my hair feel. And for those of you guys who use
a shampoo or conditioner bars, can you please, like, give me tips
on how to take care of it? Or like how you store it? Because I feel like every time
that water gets on it, it gets really mushy
at the very bottom, so, I would love some tips on that, but, yes,
I've been loving the hair conditioner because this also helps with the color and it definitely makes my hair
feel smooth. On days when you don't
wanna wash your hair, I highly wanna recommend
the Bumble and Bumble dry shampoo.

This is in powder form. And, I feel like this might gross you out, but I really don't wash my hair everyday, it's usually every other day or sometimes I could go three
or four days without washing my hair. My brother absolutely hates it, but honestly my hair doesn't
really get oily, so, I don't know why he's complaining. But yes, this is definitely a product
that really helps control the shine and I'm basically shampooing my hair
every morning using this.

So this powder, I fell in love. I prefer it more than sprays just because I feel like the powder lasts And the... It controls the shine better. I have two hair oils
that I wanna rave about.

And I feel like you guys already know. But, first, we have the Lucido-L
Triple Beauty Vitamin Oil, and this was first introduced to me
from Sunnydahye, and I fell in love and I needed more. So, when I went to Malaysia,
I was looking around for it, couldn't find it. But, luckily, I received about ten
of these hair oils when I was in Malaysia, so thanks to all of you guys
who brought me one I absolutely love how affordable
this hair oil is and the quality of the product.

It definitely makes my hair
feels very smooth and soft, and even though my hair is bleached
and damaged, every time I brushed through it,
it doesn't feel like damaged hair. But if you wanna spend
ten times the price, because I think
this is about three dollars, I do wanna recommend Ouai's...
Ouia? Ouia's hair oil. Compared to the vitamin oil,
it is a lot smoother in my opinion, and there's a lovely scent to it. It makes your hair smell like flowers.

And, when I was at the Lohacell event, the makeup artist and the hair stylist, she was basically complementing
the smell of my hair and I knew it was this product only because the dry shampoo
has no scent to it. So, I told her about it,
and she was, like, obsessed because I promise you, you don't even
need a perfume when you use this just because the smell lingers
and usually, when you spray perfume, I heard that if you spray it on your hair
it'll last longer. Well, this is gonna play the perfume
and the hair oil part and it'll make your hair feel super smooth. So, depending on what your budget is
for a hair oil, I wanna recommend these two.

And finally, if you're like me and you love to use hot tools
to whether straighten or curl your hair, it's very important
to use a heat protectant. And one of my favorites is this one
from Bumble and Bumble. This is the Hair Dresser's Invisible Oil, and I just love
how lightweight this feels and it doesn't make your hair feel sticky. Actually, the hair oils as well, it doesn't make your hair looking greasy
and oily, I forgot to mention, but yeah, I love this heat protectant and it's one of my favorites,
I've actually bought the bigger version.

That's it for today's video, I hope you guys enjoy the short vlog of me
going to the hair salon, as well as recommendations of products
I'll be using to protect my hair because it's very important
to take care of it now, otherwise, I'm gonna have to cut
all of it off in the future. So, I hope that this video was helpful. If you have any products
you wanna recommend, comment down below
as well as let me know how you feel about these products because I love it when
the comment sections becomes a place where everyone starts sharing
their reviews and opinions on the products because not everyone might like
the products I just mentioned now. So, let's make the comment section a helpful place for everybody
looking for products.

All right,
I'll see you guys in my next video. Goodbye! Subtitle presented by

I'm ready now and so guys that is it for the House business minding my business on today and we're going to get into content Successful booth rent salon y'all chapter screen, because I got some good stuff coming for you guys So let me ask you guys a question because we all know in a booth rental situation the salon owner is the Boo Printer is obligated to Market for themselves, right they're obligated to they're running a whole separate business So how many of you feel that it would be fair for the salon? Owner to market for the booth winner as well if you feel it would be fair for the one in the comments if you think It is just should never go down but the booth the salon owner should never have to market for the blueprint or put a 2 in the comments if you think they should put a 1 if you think they Should never have to do is put a tooth now. Now, legally we know they're not obligated whatsoever We know that the the salon owner for a booth rental salon is not obligated at all to market I see a one on periscope not obligated at all to market for The booth renter however these this is my take on this and then I'm going to break it down and tell you guys why? One A lot of salon owners are losing their Renter's from Salon Suite owners, that's that's one of the first reasons right and so I think about the business Absolutely, it's about the business guys and what I find is that we have many salon owners who have book rental situations who have taken taken the fact that there are separate businesses and forgotten that collectively right Everyone achieves more so you guys know hear me talk about team all the time and so as a boot rent salon owner This is my take guys although.

They are not obligated I think it would behoove them and the entire business to market for the entire salon It doesn't mean they have to do extensive marketing, but I feel from time to time It should be inclusive for the people who work there I've know situations because I've been in the industry for 20 plus years a lot of my friends I stylist and so I've heard turns if they succeed. I'm just going in the broadcast right there I'm just going in the broadcast right there because I think we're missing the point. I think that Separatism or Causes us to miss the the big picture right because I've had a mini You know stylist as girlfriend's who worked in booth rental situations where? Stuff went on so I plenty of content plenty of content for that but Think about it like disguise You know sometimes there are book rental situations where the owner may be really busy, and they get called all the time and they're turning people down and They never bother to ask anyone else in the salon can they take the client we all succeed? Yes absolutely If that wonder who that salon des yes? Absolutely And they never bother to ask the people that are working right under the roof that they're under always that although they aren't Working directly for them, but they never bother to ask them you know are you available? Can you service the client so you mean to tell me you would rather the money walk out of the building out of the door? To a whole nother Entity because trust and believe this the client is going to find someone to service them right and so if the owner is busy now now I understand I understand this here if you if you're going to give your client and the owner if you're going to give your client an Opportunity to come to you on another day That's the first thing that you do the first thing that you do is you give them an opportunity to see you? Next week or on another day, but if none of your schedule is working for them Do you just let that client walk out the door and not allow the people who are helping you pay the bills, right? You're not going to help them eat as well So sometimes we have to shift our mindset right because really God all at the end of the day It's a collective effort and the salon the booth little salons that are the most successful their service money becomes your rent and I. You know I don't understand it.

I don't understand it So you make your your booth rentals hustle you know look at sick trying to pay you the booth rent? And you've let 20 clients walking and clients that you couldn't service Walk out of the building so guys we have to remember even in a book rental situation because we're talking about running a successful Book rental salon, which is not the easiest thing to do because I think the problem is this new Era and competition not realizing It's enough for all of us Christie. Oh my goodness You know I just got some great people following me you hit it on the head Because I the mentality I just I don't understand it, right Now remember recently we're not obligated if I'm a salon owner, and I have rental chairs and iret chairs out I'm not obligated to market for you I'm not obligated to give you a client But I much rather if I can't get to the people to give them to the people. That's in my building, right? That's that's helping this whole thing go down I'd much rather give the client to them and this is what it does it creates a team effort without you guys having to Together because many people aren't making it because it's just a group of people working together instead of a team mentality listen together Everyone achieves more it's real that's also your salon Reputation cut okay now. We're going to get into this with running a successful booth rent salon It's the hairstyles on every corner What's so special about your team work always makes the dream work absolutely? Listen there's a salon on every corner and the booth rent only you have to find unique collective things that other Movement owners are not doing right that is going to help you to maintain your booth renters, right? You want to help them eat as well? It's a sizeable for you Here are some things that you guys can add when you're looking for new renters, right? One of the things you have to have some policies and procedures in place you guys hear me You somebody put policy and procedures in the comments you have to have some policies and procedures in place Right there needs to be a distinction about walk-ins, and you know there needs to be a clear Understanding about everything because it will eliminate problems later right so policies and procedures in place and when I say in place They need to be written down right some of them needs to be in the boot rent contract many people are bringing on wristers into their establishment without Interviewing them, and I think they think because the person works for themselves, they don't really have to do a full-on interview with them But guys I promise you whatever the new bull Runner does is going to affect the entire salon? When something goes wrong with the customer and they go to tell someone else The first thing they say they rarely say the person that did their hair first They usually say where they got the service done.

That's the first thing They normally say is where they receive the service that they didn't like and then the next thing They say is who did the service so the same still fix to your? Business, right and so having policies and procedures in place is a And having it written down which is all the more reason you guys have to interview Even your booth winners you gotta ask them questions guys Right do they even have enough client sales to be able to afford to pay the roof rent, right? What's their understanding of customer service because if they're treating clients? Nasty Whether you know it or not each stylist that works in that salon Their Clientele is affected by that one person who's out of order because your client in your chair She may not say anything to you But that may not be the environment that she chooses to be in so it's important that you guys are interviewing your booth winners Here's something that you guys can do right that's going to uplevel you as a blueprint for line That's going to take you a little Beyond What most booth rental salons are offering what harm would it be if you could afford it right to offer to training? To training classes per year for your book renters. I know that's like over the top I know that's like too much because you know they work for themselves. It's not my responsibility but these are the two classes that I would include in working with me these would be the Amenities of renting a booth at my place they will be offered two training classes a year I would let them know that Participation for the classes is necessary you know because you can't have a class that no one's at but I would definitely offer an and Amenity to ringing a booth in my space I would offer two classes and one would be customer service you guys don't hear me one would be customer service because people buy people First before they buy the product they decide whether or not they like the person, right? Before they ever get an opportunity to experience the product the haircut the we the color and so Having a customer service training class Yearly right for your even your booth rental salon Would be important that would be one of the pluses to working at my booth rental salon if I owned the under salon again The second class that I would offer every year it would be included in them being a renter there would be a skillset class Right it would be a skillset class now as a salon owner You may not be the best at that skill set or you may not be the best to explain customer service but you guys can always bring someone in there's a lot of Educators right that are really good that would love to come to a salon of maybe 10 people and give a class, right Let them know that twice of twice a year they have access to two free salon training Listen if your staff is trained right well, they're not staff But your booth renters are doing great work it also reflects the salon guys these are little added things that you can add To the advantages of a book runner working in your particular salon the next thing here's another one guys what if you had the salon has one main line right and Maybe this is abstract phone line and then you have 10 workers working with you And each one of them has a voicemail But when a caller calls to the the main salon line they can go to any particular Callers voicemail that they like and the booth Runners have access to go and check those messages These are just amenities guys that would make your booth rental salon Favorable for those who will want to come and rent a booth because you know Many times people are still looking for a team even though they're on their own they're still looking for a team right and so all of this is helping to build a scene and the Reputation for your salon, and it's so difficult because with a booth rental salon It's hard to create atmosphere But one of the ways you can do that is definitely by interviewing your your booth renters right and then having collective efforts of things that you guys do together like training classes at Least twice a year that you offer to them for free and if you're really good at those particular services Then you're asking pay anyone to come in to give those particular classes You just make it known at the beginning of the contract and then just let them know that participation to the classes Is necessary in order to give the class right? So those are two things that you guys can do to maintain and and have a successful booth rental salon Because there are many books rental salons who are struggling because people are going to salon suite Or they're just done with the industry or they're going to JCPenney mandatory and I didn't say mandatory because Because they work for themselves as a booth renter there but so many things that you can make mandatory so that would have to be something that you would want to have your Attorney look over or you want to go maybe to the state board website to see if you can make a training meeting Mandatory for a boot Runner because that's kind of you know. It's kind of drawing the line That's the only reason I didn't say mandatory, but I would express it to them When they're signing there before no contract that you know you are for classes, and we just ask for your participation they're free they help you up level who you are as a Stylist and one of the classes would always be customer service and the other would be some type of skill set those are two things That I would do so whether you know it or not your coworker or your booth renters Right whether you're you're a booth runner yourself or whether you were a salon owner of a booth rent setting They affect you everybody in that place Affects one another because the customer is always watching the other renters.

They're always watching the other renters So you want to do everything that you can within guidelines as a blueprint for an owner to create some type of team effort? And God as far as the free training classes that you offer to the booth winners check with your product companies and the Manufacturing companies you guys would be surprised. They'd be willing to do most of their product knowledge classes are free Did you guys know that most of the manufacturers right of your product company designed it sent you whatever it. Is that you use? Most of them are willing to come to your space and give a product knowledge class free so that could be one of the classes That you offer to your boot Renner's, right? But definitely customer service and and definitely some type of skill set those are the two that I would definitely do so we want to make sure that we have policies and procedures. We have ruled for walk-ins established and Defined and that to express them and not only did you express them, but you carry them out, right? So you still have to knit stuff in the hood you still have to knit stuff in the stuff in the bud? Although they work for themselves Thank God that'sthat's pretty much my tech.

I think those things are super major I think it will help you to run a successful bootleg salon for those of you who are looking for new renters? Those are just some ideas of some amenities and things that you can add to your offer Because now they have so many different options of where they can go right there, you know It's not like you're just interviewing them anymore. They're trying to see if they want to work with you because they have so many opportunities to go to several different places, so you guys can definitely add things like to training classes a year in your Options for your up-and-coming booth renters, and maybe a phone line where everyone has a voicemail that they can access What do you guys think I know it sounds like another expense guys? But if you can keep your renters, and it allows you to run your salon Successfully and pay your your rent instead of coming out of pocket They're just some extra things that I feel are important for you to do and we have to move out of the minds that you know that our booth renters You know are only there to exchange money They're only there to exchange money if the right if the owner is completely fooled she can't take them next week I don't understand why you wouldn't pass that client on to a boot runner who is helping to pay the bills So guys that's my take on today for those of you who joined late. I had some free opportunities for those of you Who are here stylist and salon owners in the beauty industry you can go back and catch the replay one talks about our? Free somebody stay free true, and that absolutely done somebody put free in the comments But when you go back to the beginning of the replay it talks about our free webinars that we're having on Monday March the 6th.

Do resilience? Effective ways to retail so that you can profit so that you can stop spending the income and the money that you make from your Clients, hey Epstein.

Free absolutely The money that you make behind the chair you didn't open the book rental salon to just pay bills You opened it so that you can have and another stream of income right? And so you want to make sure that you're maximizing your efforts within your salon setting whether it's boot rent Or whether it's a salon where you have employees? And there's another free opportunity at the beginning of the broadcast as well for you to join the mind your business group on Facebook I only take a small amount of people every 90 days and the 90 day session is about to end and so you guys can get on the waiting list But all that information is at the beginning of the broadcast I appreciate you guys So much make sure you check the screen if I helped your business at all today tap the screen 4 hearts to show love Swipe up will run with you on periscope to share with another industry professional salon owner booth result renters and on parents on Facebook you guys can press the little share button on the left hand side to share out to another industry professional There is a way to have a successful Booth rental salon and sometimes you just gotta up level what you're offering as well ok I appreciate you guys peace Oh, thank you. John. I appreciate you so much darling. I really do I thank you guys for joining peace you.

Should I Buy a Hair Salon Franchise

Robert Edwards here from Franchise.City and
today we are going to look at Hair Salon or hair Care franchises. Before we start I want to clarify that all
franchises in this industry are different so this is going to be a very general look
at the business. What I say may or may not be applicable to
your particular franchise Firstly most salon franchises are created
with the passive investor in mind. So in most situations you can own a salon
and keep a job or other business in conjunction with owning the salons.

This is unlike many food service franchises
that require a hands on owner actively working in the store. So that's a good thing right? I can just sit back and earn money? Not necessarily. That benefit can quickly become a disadvantage
if you live in an area that makes it difficult to find and retain good staff. Without a good manager and staff to run your
store you can quickly find your location becoming locally unpopular.

And with the advent of online review sites
like Yelp, Google and Angies List it is critical to keep customers happy and your reputation
stellar so the ability to find and retain good staff is critical. Now hair salons are typically not huge moneymakers
if you own only one store. For that reason some hair franchises require
a minimum commitment of 3 locations. But remember this is essentially passive or
semi passive ownership, so financial returns should really be compared to stocks, bonds
or other type of investments not other franchises that require full time participation of the
owner.

As with other retail type franchises you will
be very much at the mercy of the location of your shop. So do your homework of how many other competing
salons of the same or different franchise there are nearby. Even take time to monitor foot traffic to the locals stores.  To
try and differentiate within the market several hair franchises have focused on niche markets
like kids haircuts, or mens only salons.

And this can be a way to attract a specific
demographic but remember will also cut down on your pool of potential customers in your
region. Here are a couple of the things we suggest
to our own clients who are exploring buying a hair care franchise, first check the FDD
for failure rates. How many have failed and are these failures
mostly found in certain territories. Some franchises do very well in certain states
and not so well in others.

Next up - if the FDD does not indicate an
earnings claim in their item 19 of the FDD, call other franchise owners. All their names are listed in the FDD. Among other questions see if they will give
you an idea of their earnings first, second and following years. After a few calls you should begin to see
a trend.

And don't forget to call a few that left the
franchise to see what happened in their situation. If you haven't heard of a SWOT analysis now
you have. A SWOT should be done really for any business
you intend to open. It stands for "Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities
and Threats" and it is these 4 things you will explore in your own proposed territory.

Look at how much your prospective franchise
is charging then call other salons locally. How do those prices compete. Remember higher prices aren't a bad thing
only in economically depressed areas. Check the local review sites.

Are the competing salons filled with bad reviews? Then you might have an opportunity to inherit
people looking for a reliable salon. Also if the same franchise you are considering nearby has good or bad reviews that will also impact your store. And here is a very simple trick to implement to see if you could find good employees at the proposed pay scale - place
an ad! It takes 5 minutes to place an ad in Craigslist
or Kijiji saying I am opening a salon in the city looking for stylists, managers, whatever
you will need and the money you will pay. That response is likely a decent indicator
of labor market conditions.

So a Hair franchise can be a good choice for
a passive investor who has the money to open several units. Some of the niche salons can also work for
an owner operator and generally provide a higher average income. Franchise.City works with most of the top
hair care franchises as well as others with passive ownership models and we can help you
identify research and compare which one might be best for you. There is never a charge for our service and
your franchise will never cost more by using a broker.

We work with over 600 franchise brands. Franchise.City is a better way to buy a franchise. Http://www.Franchise.City.

Salon OwnerWhat I do & how much I makePart 1Khan Academy

My name is Sam Divine, I'm 27 years old, and I am a salon owner. So because I'm an owner and I work behind the chair, and I'm the manager right now, I'm encompassing three positions. My responsibilities on any given day is going to be getting to the salon, making sure that everything is ready to run smoothly, so making sure that the schedule is correct, making sure that we're fully staffed, taking care of any kind of absences, anything that could possibly make the day run less smoothly, that I'm intercepting those things and preventing them or band-aiding the situation. Taking care of the bills, making sure that payroll is run and payroll is processed.

Prepping for the taxes, handling any client situations that could possibly come up, making sure our front desk staff feels supported, and that they have everything they need to do their job really well. Making sure that our stylists and colorists have everything that they need to do their job well. Working day in and day out on the social media campaigns that we're doing because it's a very important part of our industry now, so doing those social media posts whenever I have a break. Working on my own clients for a good portion of the day.

At the end of the day, two days a week we run classes for our assistant program, so either myself or one of my lead stylists is going to be leading those classes, so twice a month I'm teaching the education classes that we're having here a couple days a week. And then, this continuous and endless cycle of marketing and bringing new business into the salon. So as a salon owner and behind the chair stylist, I make $55,000 a year, give or take, plus tips when I'm on the stylist side. In comparison to other people in my industry, I think it's gonna vary based on location.

If you compare it to the Midwest or the South or cities that aren't as metropolitan as, say, New York, Los Angeles, or Dallas, for instance, it's probably on the median to high end, I would imagine, because salons, you look at the entire scope of the salon industry, it's quite vast. You have salons that are in the Midwest that don't bring in a ton of revenue every year to salons that are bringing in multimillion dollar businesses, so when you look at that, there's going to be that median, and I think in terms of my individual salary, I think we're gonna fall in the median to high for the majority of the country, which is interesting. A manager's gonna earn, in Los Angeles, anywhere from 50 to 150,000 dollars a year as a salon manager, depending on the level of the salon and how big it is. Somebody who's behind the chair at the absolute highest.

They'll do, they do in-salon work, they work with their clients, they are on set, they do a lot of photo shoots, they're doing products, they either have their own product line or they're working with a product line that they are the official spokesperson for, so when you take all of that into account, you can take a great income of like $100,000 and turn that into a million-dollar income very, very quickly..

Salon OwnerStarting & owning a salon businessPart 4Khan Academy

If you would've asked me five years ago, do you see yourself owning a salon? I would've said no, 100%. I never wanted to open a salon, even 2 1/2 years ago. If you would've asked me a month before I decided that this was what I was going to do, I would've told you you were crazy, I would never open a salon. My business partner and I created this concept of a membership-based hair salon.

So essentially, where you would normally come into a salon and you would come in and get your hair cut or your hair colored and just pay whatever the cost of that individual service was, we decided that...Well, we figured out that there's a better way that that could be handled. And we created the membership model. So essentially, what our clients can do is, they pay a monthly fee, based on whichever membership level that they're in, and then get unlimited services within that membership level. So we've got one for unlimited blowouts, which blowouts have been all the rage in our industry for the last couple years.

There's one that includes color, haircuts and blowouts, and then we have a men's membership, which is unlimited men's cuts. And what that's done is, it's really changed the salon culture. So our clients can come in as often as they like. It's created a more dynamic relationship between our clients and our salon staff, which is really incredible to see.

And then, it's a new model, so we're testing something that hasn't been done before, and it's been wildly successful. So about a year before I opened my salon, which is called Society, there was this new phenomenon in the industry, and it was blowouts. Obviously, well maybe not so obviously, but people have been getting blowouts for a very long time, but the birth of a new company dramatically changed our industry. You would go in, they did nothing other than blowouts.

So you'd go in, get your hair blown out and then leave. So as soon as they opened, within a couple months, we started to see a really dramatic shift in our business. We saw a lot of our clients not coming in, our numbers were dropping, which means sales were dropping. And for an individual stylist, that was damaging to our income, which is never a really fun realization.

So I came up with a couple ideas of different things that I thought we could do to counteract what was happening and keep our clients in our business. Ultimately, I tried to pitch them to my manager, and it just wasn't a good fit for that salon. It was a little painful for me and some of the other stylists to swallow because a substantial portion of our income was gone. And there was really not much that we could do to get that back.

We had to figure out a new way to earn it, and the new ways we were coming up with just weren't gonna work where we were. So I was talking to a really good friend of mine who is my business partner. We just started going, and I was pitching her some ideas, and we were just going back and forth. And ultimately, we came up with what is now Society and decided that we should move forward on figuring out how to start something new, something that, obviously, the industry was changing, so what could we do to not fall behind on some of these changes that were happening and be on the forefront of it instead of constantly trying to play catch up.

So that was kind of how the birth of our membership started. Then from that point on, my mind was completely and utterly dedicated to figuring out how to bring all of this into fruition. At that point, I knew absolutely nothing about running a business or starting a business or anything related to business other than showing up at work, doing my clients and collecting a paycheck. So for me, it was a lot of new learning, but luckily, I do love to read, and I love to learn new things, so Google was my best friend.

I Googled absolutely everything endlessly, absorbed anything I could read about opening a new business, whether it was a hair salon or not, just figuring out what that entailed. The next step was putting together a business plan, because everything that I had read was put together a business plan. So I slaved over this thing for about seven months, looked at 100 different formats of what it should be like, what it should look like. Again, I didn't go to college for this, so I'm literally getting everything off Google.

And anyone who's searched anything on Google, there are a million contradictions to everything you read. So I put together what I thought was a brilliant business plan, and encompassed everything I had read and had a little bit from here, a little bit from there. I was like cool. Now, what do I do with this? I have this.

Why don't I have a business yet? The next step was raising capital, and finding somebody to, essentially, fund the process of building the business. And I didn't know what to do. I didn't know where to start with that. I didn't know what that looked like.

So I started doing research on that, and then I got really lucky, actually, which I think luck has a little bit to do with it. So I was at work, and I was cutting one of my client's hair that I had been cutting for a very long time. We always connected over fishing and camping and hiking. And literally, this was the day after I.

Finished my business plan. And he was like, "Hey, I never actually asked you "if this is what you wanna do for the rest "of your life." And I was like, "What do you mean?" And he's like, "Just work here and cut hair. "That's awesome, but I never asked you." And I was like, "That's so funny that you asked me." I was like, "Actually, I thought that was the case, "but I came up with this new business model, "and I want to start my own business." And he was like, "Oh, what does that look like?" And I gave him the details of our membership business and, essentially, what that would look like. And he was like, "Oh, you should come and sit down with me." And I was like, "Why would I do that?" And he was like, "Did we never talk about what "I do for a living?" And I was like, "No." And he was like, "Oh, I own a venture capital firm." And I was like, "I know that that means that you "invest money in businesses, but isn't that more "for like tech startups and everything in Silicon Valley?" And he was like, "No, no, we'll sit down, and we'll talk." He gave me his personal phone number and was like, "Call me, and we'll get together." So I went home, and I was ecstatic, because this just fell into my lap, and it was the most incredible thing ever.

So I went home. I scheduled a meeting with him, went through a bunch of bumps along the path leading up to finally opening, but ultimately, was able to raise the funds that we needed in order to open this location. For our individual location, what I learned along the process was that I was so far off, and luckily far off, in terms of what I thought it would cost us to open the business. When I was calculating it out, I was calculating as if we were gonna build from nothing.

So buying a piece of land, building a business, and you know, the ground up is how much I could've encompassed with my original budget. But we were very fortunate to find a location that was previously a salon, which is a huge game-changer if anyone is looking to open your own salon business, I would definitely suggest if that is at all a possibility for you, to definitely find a location that was. So we did. We found a location that was previously a salon, which cut our budget by more than in half.

And then I'm also very lucky to have a father who is a contractor and a builder by trade. So once we got the location, the budget that we, ultimately, wound up getting was far less than I had originally anticipated. So what I had hoped to get and what I actually got was dramatically different, but it was enough. And that's all I really needed.

So we worked within the budget that we were given to make this happen. My dad and I slaved over this place for 29 days straight, 18 hour days building, because as anyone who's ever lived in Los Angeles, rent on anything is wildly expensive, and our landlord, unfortunately, didn't give us any leeway in terms of when the rent would start. We had one month of rent, essentially rent free. And we were like, okay, then we need to start earning income in a month.

So from the time we signed the lease, from the time I got funding to the time that I signed the lease was about a week, so I had a week to finalize and figure out everything. And then from the time we signed the lease to the day that we officially opened and were having our press launch party was 29 days. And we had to completely gut this entire salon and rebuild it from the ground up. Working on a budget, we didn't have the budget to bring in a team to do this, so it was literally just my dad and I without a single other person for 29 days straight, no breaks, 18-hour days, every single day.

I thought I was going to die at the end of it. But, hands down, the best experience of my life. Typically, I would say that salon owners are either making next to nothing, because they're putting everything they have back into the business to keep it open, or they're doing really well. And we're on the growth up, which is really great for us.

For us, our focus is on making our business really profitable, keeping the money inside of the business so that as soon as we're ready, we can take everything that we've earned and open new locations. We will have to repay a portion of the funding that we initially received to start the business. And I'm very confident that that won't be an issue, which also feels really good. And the reason I'm confident about that is because we've been very systematic and strategic in terms of saving and creating a business and growing this business to a very sustainable point.

My job as the owner encompasses anything from training new staff, hiring new staff, creating the schedules, running the business day in and day out, creating the marketing plans, which is figuring out new strategies that's gonna work for the business, whether it's finding a new billboard or sending out digital marketing campaigns, whether it's through social media or different kinds of ads and then raising capital. When we first opened, in terms of raising the funds that we needed to get open and then continuously looking for ways that we can expand. Often, my goal is to bring new business into the salon. In Los Angeles, it's a really competitive market, where everyone's competing for the same client's attention.

So what we'll do is, we'll come up with a creative concept, whether it's in particularly a photo shoot, and use the images from the shoot to send out either through social media campaigns or email marketing campaigns. In the past, we've actually used the images for billboard campaigns around the city, which has been really incredible. So in terms of getting that project executed, I pretty much do start to finish. So it's everything from deciding what The creative side of its gonna be What do we want the end result to actually look like? And then finding the photographer.

Finding the models, organizing the team, getting our team together in terms of who wants to actually work on that particular project. And then model hunting, vetting models, seeing which one's gonna be the best fit for the actual shoot. And then, obviously, day of and being here, doing the hair, getting the creative looking exactly the way we want it to. So knowing exactly what that image needs to look like for how we're gonna send it out.

And then getting that image done. Everything after that, from into post, which is gonna be editing the images and then sending them out through whatever channels we're gonna use, whether that's the billboard, email marketing or social media marketing. In order to figure out whether the billboard or individual marketing channel that we chose was successful, we have to do one of two things. For the billboard in particularly, we will ask every client who calls in where they heard about us from, and the majority of the time, we get pretty good feedback on that.

Sometimes people are a little bit off. But most the time, people will be like, "Oh my God, I saw that billboard of you guys "over on Sunset Boulevard." And we'll track it that way. We have a system in our computer that can keep track of that. And then if it's something that it's more digital, whether it's social media or email marketing, we have built-in systems in place, whether it's through a company like MailChimp or Constant Contact that's gonna track those conversions for us.

Our whole process for bringing in new business is very strategic. And everything needs to be tracked. Everything needs to be accounted for. I wanna make sure that I'm focusing my energy in the right place all the time, because I tend to be doing a little bit everywhere.

So it's really important for me to make sure that I'm focusing my energy on the right thing that's working for us. So being able to track those conversions and strategically see what's working and what's not allows me to pick what's working best and move forward in that direction and not work with things that haven't performed well for us in the past. My worst day on the job was actually really terrible. When we first opened Society, one of the things that we needed to do in Los Angeles was to get a publicist, a PR agent.

I, again, was really lucky to have a really good friend who referred me to her best friend, who is an incredible publicist. So we started working with her right away. Over the first year of our relationship, she quickly became one of my dearest friends. Worst day on the job was that she, unfortunately, passed away while we were working.

And that was really, really difficult. She was my teammate, even though she was not my business partner, she was my teammate through every single aspect of the business. And that was really difficult. I attribute so much of our initial success to Courtney and the work that she did.

So when she passed away, it was difficult on every level. Obviously, on a personal level, I was shattered. But on a business level, I felt like I had really lost a leg of our tripod. She did so much to make sure that we were wildly successful, and it was hard to come back from that, because that was a side of the job that I had never learned how to do or had any desire, necessarily, to learn how to do.

And so much of that is connections. So even if I wanted to learn that side of the business, it was just so much more than I could possibly take on. And I didn't know how to replace it either, because she was so good at her job. And because we had such a great relationship, the work that she did and the quality of the work that she did and what she was delivering for us and what we were giving back was just a relationship and a situation that could not ever be duplicated.

And that was really difficult to have to come back and figure out how to balance after her passing. And we only recently have been able to kind of figure out a new path to get down that is different than what she was doing but trying to get us back on that same path. So the best day on my job actually just happened really recently. I'm very proud of the team and the culture that exists within this location.

I think the team that has been built here and that come and show up here every day are working to create this vision and this company that we all love is, I would die for them. I love every single one of them so much. So the best day on the job was a day recently where a really good friend of mine who I went to hair school with, the salon that she was at was closing down, and a small group of four incredible women decided to come over and join our team. And the first day of having them join the existing team and just seeing how well everyone worked together and how happy everybody was, it was incredible.

Everyone was coming up to me all day long and was just telling me how much they loved the energy and how it was that little step that everyone needed to feel like we were continuously moving up at the perfect time. And it was incredible. It was bliss. As an owner, again, I don't think that you're very limited at all.

I think the only limits you're gonna face are whatever limits you impose on yourself. So you can open one business, and you can decide that that makes you really happy, and you just wanna keep that business running successfully for the next 40 years. And I think that's beautiful. Or you can decide to turn that one salon into a big corporation and multi-location salon business.

You can open up a chain of salons, which you're gonna get into franchising then. You could be a single salon owner, start a product line, and then wind up going down that path of getting into retail. And then that could transcend back into owning a multi-location salon. You can also become a spokesperson as a salon owner.

And everything you could do as a stylist, assuming you also have your cosmetology license, you could do as an owner and do the same simultaneously. It's just gonna depend, again, on what makes you happy and what kind of workload you're looking for and what drives you..
