Two master barbers have used the ever emerging popularity of the barber art form  and the rise of social media to transform their business together.  What a beautiful story of triumph over exceptional odds.

Gordon salon and family history has been great with 70 plus employess, but this Top 200 salon has been under the radar. While the Gordon's are a fourth generation salon family and Tony is a 3rd generation salon owner, no one knows us. In the professional salon industry we are incognito. So we are laying out an agressive agenda for where this podcast will go. To the moon? you bet... This new communication push is ready to morph like a chameleon and go where society and technology might take us. The Current plan: YouTube channel, coaching for struggling stylists, speaking gigs and a book even. Go big or stay home!
