“Show me the data; a person without data is just another person with an opinion.” – W. Edwards Deming⁠ ⁠ In some areas of the hair and beauty sector, there is a lot of accurate data. But in other areas, there’s a lot of opinion and perception. And while I can be as guilty of that as anyone, it’s also important to separate fact from fiction. ⁠ ⁠ My guest on today's Podcast is Gordon Miller, who is someone I would consider a good friend but also someone who always has a good overview of what’s happening in the hairdressing industry from a business perspective. ⁠ ⁠ Gordon has held many different roles throughout his career, and today he is the Chief Engagement Officer of Hairbrained (hairbrained.me).⁠ ⁠ Although our conversation today is based primarily on trends and data from the United States, most of it has relevance no matter where in the world you are based.⁠ ⁠ In today’s podcast, we will discuss:⁠ ⁠ 🔸 What the data says about how the industry is in a post covid world⁠ 🔸 The current trends in evolving business models⁠ 🔸 The changes happening to the professional retail model...⁠ ⁠ And lots more!⁠ ⁠ 🎧 Listen to this podcast with @gordnm by clicking the link in my bio.
