Episode Details

In this episode, I am joined by Greg Gilmore, colorist, educator, and brand ambassador for Moroccan Oil, for an honest, thought-provoking conversation about the current state of the hair industry. We talk about the growing disconnect between brands and professional stylists, why hair care is making a comeback, the role of social media in shaping fundamentals, and what’s being lost as salon culture continues to shift. Greg also shares his perspective on relaxers returning, education turning into content, pricing versus experience, and what true legacy in this industry really means. This episode is a must-watch for stylists who care about longevity, integrity, and the future of the profession.
