| 0:00.0 | Well, there's that rule if a consultation takes more than 15 minutes. |
| 0:04.0 | Don't take them. |
| 0:23.9 | So that's a great rule of thumb, maybe even more than 10 minutes. A lot of my pre-consultations will only take about eight minutes. Hey, guys, my name's Charlie Gray. I'm Alison Al-Hamud. Hi, I'm Erica Keel. This is Herrick Godzito. I'm Kimberly Taye Hare, and you're listening to the Hair Game Podcast. Hey, listener, I'm Eric Taylor. |
| 0:28.6 | So Nails. I'm Kimberly Teher and you're listening to the Hair Game Podcast. Hey listener, I'm Eric Taylor. So nail salons were finally allowed to open by LA County on Friday. On October 7th, indoor malls will be allowed to open. So things are opening up slowly, |
