On today's episode I am sitting down with Steve Izzo to talk about realizing what the industry that we keep investing in as the consumer, and what they are doing/not doing to help invest back into the salons and stylist trying to survive during Covid-19 while a large majority of stylist cannot file for unemployment/grants/loans around the country because of their type of employment status. We also talk about how this industry has evolved to be run by the large conglomerates, when we could be investing in family owned companies that will still support the family owned salons.Disclaimer: When this podcast was recorded, the numbers used were what was published at that time.
