So they are never able to communicate and follow through on tuff situations and important conversations. This can lead to frustration on all parts of a team. In this episode, John Palmieri and Chris Sulimay discuss action steps to hold yourself and your salon team accountable to each other. In turn, this keeps the salon running like a well-oiled machine and gives the salon client the experience they deserve.

Have you been stuck in same-ness? In this conversation Tracy shares with John and Chris why it is so important to PAUSE and  look at the salon industry differently. When you do, that’s when innovation happens.

Meet Tracy Ftacek @tracyftacek - Prettysetgo.com -

Tracy She sees humanity, in all its imperfections, as unmistakably beautiful. And lucky for us, she’s made a career out of empowering others to see their own beauty, lean into it, and unapologetically share it with the world. It’s not merely her decades of experience that make her an industry leader, although that’s part of it. After all, you don’t launch a successful business, mobile app and subscription box without knowing your shit. But the true beauty of the Pretty Convenient LLC is that it’s built on meeting the needs of beauty professionals and clients alike—something Tracy has capitalized on simply because she understands women on both sides of the chair. Busy professionals need someone trained and reliable to make them feel beautiful. Stylists need to feel empowered to own their expertise and schedules. Put them together and you have something Pretty Convenient.

By creating a business and service built on trust, Tracy has disrupted the beauty industry. She doesn’t jealously guard her prolific beauty expertise and business acumen—she takes every opportunity she can to share it with others, in service of creating a more balanced community of stylists who are creative AND entrepreneurial, thus better able to serve an increasingly demanding client base. Because why should anyone be satisfied with the status quo?

Tracy will be the first to tell you that there’s always room to grow, whether it’s your team, your business, or your confidence in yourself. As a founder, boss, trainer and mentor, Tracy recognizes the responsibility she has to pay it forward to help the next generation of creative entrepreneurs thrive. As an artist, confidant and teacher, Tracy understands the privilege she’s been given to find what makes someone beautiful and bring it to life. It’s more than makeup and bigger than beauty. It’s beautifully disruptive.

Nikki is a high-powered salon owner who has a tireless commitment to elevating everyone around her to fulfilling their personal potential, whether that be in the salon or a salon owner or an educator. The thing we love about Nikki is that she lives everything she teaches - as the owner of Statements the Salon and Statements Academy and The Statements Project. She surrounds herself with great people like Iva Sampler and the rest of the statements team.

Geno Stampora has been educating in the salon industry for over 40 years and has become an icon. I grew up in the industry listening to his education tape cassettes back in the day and credit Geno as the person who helped me learn how to communicate with my clients behind the chair as a young stylist! Even after 40 years of educating, Geno Shows no signs of slowing down!

We have one other special guest on this episode. Her name is Fallyn Mireault (https://www.instagram.com/thegoodhairdays/). Fallyn is a younger stylist who is growing up quickly in the salon industry. At Samuel Cole Salon in Raleigh NC, she has become the fastest growing new stylist that they have had to date! This is a big accomplishment considering the incredibly talented team she works among! We had the chance to do a little impromptu Q&A with Fallyn and get her perspective on how she is making this happen! I think you’ll be surprised at her answers.

Rachael represents well, a lot of you. And if you're new to the career, she represents what your future might look like.


You see, Rachael is a hairstylist and the owner of an 8-chair salon. She is also a mother of five ranging from college to toddler, a wife, a homemaker… You get the picture. This year Rachael finally had enough. One day, maybe while doing dishes or picking up toys, she decided something had to give.

From award-winning stylist to entrepreneur, Alicia Soulier has dedicated over 16 years to the beauty industry. As the owner and creative director of Capelli Salon Studio for over 10 years, Alicia noticed a leak in her business that was directly affecting her bottom line: the color bar. Without the proper technology to account for the cost of hair color, many color sessions were walking out the door unpaid for. This discovery led to the creation of SalonScale, an advanced hair salon back bar software that has now earned Alicia the title of "tech founder" into her portfolio. Today Alicia intends to use technology to disrupt the hair salon supply chain and ultimately create a healthier economic ecosystem in the hair industry. SalonScale: https://salonscale.com/ SalonScale is a hair color management software that allows salons to separate their parts from labor to ensure that every color session is being paid for. Using a mobile app, SalonScale enables you to know your color costs in real-time as you mix, so salons can start accounting for the cost of each session and monitor their inventory levels more efficiently.

JPMS David Stanko Announcement 

January 20, 2021

“I’m always doing hair color in my head. Makeover, makeunder, trying to match a touch up.  What products do I need, what are their techcial limits, and what combination of techniques will create a customized look?  Not only do I want everyone to stand out, I want my work to be outstanding.”

David Stanko uniquely combines his skills as a corporate executive with his reputation for fine artistry and cutting-edge technical expertise. His A-to-Z experience with both startup companies and established industry leaders includes helping develop, test and launch both professional and consumer hair color brands; creating formulation and technique guides; teaching around the world and, working in top salons.

A recipient of the Pittsburgh Beauty Academy Alumni Hall of Fame award, he was also recognized for his outstanding contributions to the industry by The Pennsylvania Association of Private School Administration.

In developing a chemist-like sense of hair color’s boundaries, David acted as Artistic Director for IT&LY Hairfashion, lead hair color product development and testing for Redken Fifth Avenue, and got a 360-degree education on consumer behavior as the Vice President of Technical Design at Madison Reed.  The culmination of these experiences led to international work as a private consultant.

David’s work and words have been featured in dozens of consumer and trade magazines, and he was twice honored by HaircolorUSA as “Best Educator” and “Most Inspirational Educator,” in 1999 and 2000, respectively. The author of Formula Boss™ Volumes I, II and III, and Color Conversion Made Easy™, David also conceptualized, directed, and starred in the Lifestyle Coloring™ DVD.

In this conversation, Tracy shares with John and Chris why it is so important to PAUSE and look at the salon industry differently. When you do, that’s when innovation happens.


Meet Tracy Ftacek @tracyftacek - Prettysetgo.com


Tracy sees humanity, in all its imperfections, as unmistakably beautiful. And lucky for us, she’s made a career out of empowering others to see their own beauty, lean into it, and unapologetically share it with the world. It’s not merely her decades of experience that make her an industry leader, although that’s part of it. After all, you don’t launch a successful business, mobile app and subscription box without knowing your shit. But the true beauty of the Pretty Convenient LLC is that it’s built on meeting the needs of beauty professionals and clients alike—something Tracy has capitalized on simply because she understands women on both sides of the chair. Busy professionals need someone trained and reliable to make them feel beautiful. Stylists need to feel empowered to own their expertise and schedules. Put them together and you have something Pretty Convenient.


By creating a business and service built on trust, Tracy has disrupted the beauty industry. She doesn’t jealously guard her prolific beauty expertise and business acumen—she takes every opportunity she can to share it with others, in service of creating a more balanced community of stylists who are creative AND entrepreneurial, thus better able to serve an increasingly demanding client base. Because why should anyone be satisfied with the status quo?


Tracy will be the first to tell you that there’s always room to grow, whether it’s your team, your business, or your confidence in yourself. As a founder, boss, trainer and mentor, Tracy recognizes the responsibility she has to pay it forward to help the next generation of creative entrepreneurs thrive. As an artist, confidant and teacher, Tracy understands the privilege she’s been given to find what makes someone beautiful and bring it to life. It’s more than makeup and bigger than beauty. It’s beautifully disruptive.

So they are never able to communicate and follow through on tuff situations and important conversations. This can lead to frustration on all parts of a team.  In this episode, John Palmieri and Chris Sulimay discuss action steps to hold yourself and your salon team accountable to each other. In turn, this keeps the salon running like a well-oiled machine and gives the salon client the experience they deserve.

From award-winning stylist to entrepreneur, Alicia Soulier has dedicated over 16 years to the beauty industry. As the owner and creative director of Capelli Salon Studio for over 10 years, Alicia noticed a leak in her business that was directly affecting her bottom line: the color bar. Without the proper technology to account for the cost of hair color, many color sessions were walking out the door unpaid for. This discovery led to the creation of SalonScale, an advanced hair salon back bar software that has now earned Alicia the title of "tech founder" into her portfolio. Today Alicia intends to use technology to disrupt the hair salon supply chain and ultimately create a healthier economic ecosystem in the hair industry.

SalonScale: https://salonscale.com/

SalonScale is a hair color management software that allows salons to separate their parts from labor to ensure that every color session is being paid for. Using a mobile app, SalonScale enables you to know your color costs in real-time as you mix, so salons can start accounting for the cost of each session and monitor their inventory levels more efficiently.

Interview with Brian Perdue.

It's a sad fact that nearly 90% of salons would go out of business if the owner was not able to do hair behind the chair. This is what Brian Perdue, owner of the @salon124group and @Keuneacademyby124, calls a technician driven business. And it’s what holds most owners back from ever experiencing real profit in their business.

In this conversation, Brian goes deep on the things you must consider before you open your doors or remodel your salon. Things like, how to choose a location or relocation, how much you should be paying in rent, how to start a training program when is it time to consider a second location, how much space you need per station, and much more!

What is holding you back from the career and income that you deserve? What would have to change for you to get there? The answer, your perception…

In this spirited conversation with Ashley Toliver-Williams, schools Chris and John and uncovers the core of what holds a lot of Hairstylists and salon service providers from attaining their goal of a lucrative career. Maybe not a surprise, that thing holding us back, is our own belief systems about our career. From her unique and compelling perspective Ashley shares that we are not artists when we are behind the chair - we are salespeople. And in believing that, we take a much different approach in everything we do in the salon.

This approach has helped Ashley grow a team of high performing stylists at Fringe Salon and Color bar in Houston TX. Now along with her partner, Timothy Humphries is now launching a Movement called Fuse Republic that will help salons and stylists raise the standards of income and professionalism for the industry as a whole.

Empowerment Coach, Business Mentor.

If you have never met Jason Everett, YOU are in for a treat! Imagine someone in their late 30's who looks like they are in their 20's, has childlike energy and curiosity, and the wisdom of someone who has lived lifetimes. That about sums up Jason...

In this conversation, Jason shares his energy and humor with John and Chris to tackle a very serious topic - changing your mindset to create the income YOU DESERVE and the lifestyle YOU DESIRE! For most people, big dreams like these have been cast aside because of personal beliefs that we acquire from childhood or the peers that we associate with. Over time, little by little, we give up and accept living below our potential.

Jason believes that we all have the power to create and design our lives by changing our mindset and actions. This can happen by understanding a few simple, but life-changing things. (for those answers, you'll have to listen:)

This is the reason why Jason started High-Performance Academy and Business Refuel over 11 years ago. Since that time Jason has helped thousands of people inside and outside of the salon industry to live as their best selves.

In essence, this is the question that Megan Mcdowell leaves us all to ask ourselves.

After losing a brother in law in the 911 world trade center attacks, Megan was able to stand witness to and experience the rich experience of community that can come when “we are all on our knees at the same time”. A few years later she founded Heartworks NJ, a foundation that helps people recover through the early stages of trauma, grief, and loss.

During the episode, Megan shares an uplifting perspective that we can all use to see the beauty and learn the lessons that a global crisis can bring.  Her timeless message of truth, kindness to oneself, and those around you is something we can all be reminded of.

I’m not sure how to write this descriptor, so let’s just state the facts. John’s masterful photographic work has won:


Oh yes, we failed to mention his 220 cover photos and dozens of other awards. It’s pretty safe to say if you’re looking to shoot a cover or win a major competition, John is a great person to have on your creative team. (you can see why I was stumbling for words)

With all the accolades, the man you’ll hear in this conversation has no air of ego… Not at all, you’ll simply meet a humble man who lets the work speak for itself. The type of person you feel like you’ve known for years in just one conversation. (that’s how we felt)

What type of salon are they looking for, What are their fears, and What do they want for their career? If you said Yes to any of these questions, you're not alone. In the past decade, the salon industry has evolved so quickly, with the scaling of social media, and the growing opportunity for self-employed stylists. that many salon owners feel they can't quite keep up with it all...  Because of this, two of the most common challenges have become Recruiting and Retaining new hairstylists. There are many myths about why this is so difficult. Cynical owners and managers say things like, "New hairstylists just don't want to work hard" or "people are less loyal than they used to be".  Reasons like this could not be further from the truth.  In this conversation, Keune Academy Cosmetology Students ask John and Chris the questions that are currently on their minds.

Interview with Brian Perdue. 

It's a sad fact that nearly 90% of salons would go out of business if the owner was not able to do hair behind the chair. This is what Brian Perdue, owner of the @salon124group and @Keuneacademyby124, calls a technician driven business. And it’s what holds most owners back from ever experiencing real profit in their business.  

In this conversation, Brian goes deep on the things you must consider before you open your doors or remodel your salon. Things like, how to choose a location or relocation, how much you should be paying in rent, how to start a training program when is it time to consider a second location, how much space you need per station, and much more!

Empowerment Coach, Business Mentor. 

If you have never met Jason Everett, YOU are in for a treat! Imagine someone in their late 30's who looks like they are in their 20's, has childlike energy and curiosity, and the wisdom of someone who has lived lifetimes. That about sums up Jason...

In this conversation, Jason shares his energy and humor with John and Chris to tackle a very serious topic - changing your mindset to create the income YOU DESERVE and the lifestyle YOU DESIRE! For most people, big dreams like these have been cast aside because of personal beliefs that we acquire from childhood or the peers that we associate with. Over time, little by little, we give up and accept living below our potential. 

Jason believes that we all have the power to create and design our lives by changing our mindset and actions. This can happen by understanding a few simple, but life-changing things. (for those answers, you'll have to listen:)

This is the reason why Jason started High-Performance Academy and Business Refuel over 11 years ago. Since that time Jason has helped thousands of people inside and outside of the salon industry to live as their best selves.

What is holding you back from the career and income that you deserve? What would have to change for you to get there? The answer, your perception…

In this spirited conversation with Ashley Toliver-Williams, schools Chris and John and uncovers the core of what holds a lot of Hairstylists and salon service providers from attaining their goal of a lucrative career. Maybe not a surprise, that thing holding us back, is our own belief systems about our career. From her unique and compelling perspective Ashley shares that we are not artists when we are behind the chair - we are salespeople. And in believing that, we take a much different approach in everything we do in the salon. 

This approach has helped Ashley grow a team of high performing stylists at Fringe Salon and Color bar in Houston TX. Now along with her partner, Timothy Humphries is now launching a Movement called Fuse Republic that will help salons and stylists raise the standards of income and professionalism for the industry as a whole.
