Iconic educator and platform artist Tippi Shorter Rank left day-to-day life in the salon over 15 years ago - but recently found herself thinking "something was missing" from her professional life. Not long after, the @mizani Global Artistic Director got to work creating the Hair Love Salon KC (in Kansas City, Missouri). In the process, the one-time NYC-based salon owner re-thought traditional business models in a profound way. Centered around the big idea of mentoring, Tippi has leaned into

My solo riff on the challenges the industry faces today with workforce retention (across all categories of business models) and how beginning to talk about this topic as a larger industry could have a profound and positive impact on our perceived 'labor shortage'.As independence rises, more are arguably at risk of leaving the industry sooner rather than later - and that has a ripple effect relative to the larger industry that is worthy of all of our attention.

Social Media is getting increasingly 'wonky' as well as overhyped and misunderstood (yes, I of all people said that!); while the AI conversation is quickly evolving as the currently limited tools do the same. Marketing guru Seth Godin says that "AI is dramatically underhyped and misunderstood. It's always going to be with us. The same as we went from using our phones from 4 minutes a day to 4 hours a day, it's going to change everything." Today I share an update on what

2023/03/22

Few topics 'trigger' the collective industry more than public conversations (i.e. posts) about the government's suggestion that the mean annual income of hairdressers in the USA is $28,000+. We've been having versions of this conversation for at least 30 years - and yet have done little real work to set the record straight (and that's our 'bad'!). Perhaps the biggest challenge: new professionals have little in terms of actual data (and related practices) to serve as

Note: the title is a play off a podcast titled “F**K Retail” that left me angst-filled. I'm pausing my Future View series to rant on the larger idea of 'fake beauty news' - something that feels like a mirror image of disinformation in the larger world (that most on all sides of politics agree exists). A rebuttal of anti in-salon retail arguments is my primary focus - as most of those arguments are based on reasons that don't align with the larger reality. Although it is estimated
