| 0:00.0 | That's a big thing too. You have to be willing to put in the work. I don't think anybody gets where they're at with a full book and a full wait list by not being hardworking too. I think that's a huge thing. |
| 0:12.6 | Hi, I'm Franco. This is Daniel Mason Jones. I'm celebrity stylist. Kaya Wright. This is Patricia Nicole, painted hair, and you're listening to The Hair Game Podcast. |
| 0:22.9 | Hey, listener, I'm Eric Taylor. |
| 0:25.3 | So there's a question that I get just about every day, mostly from California beauty |
| 0:31.7 | professionals, but also from beauty professionals and other states that are not closed down. |
| 0:36.8 | It's either, Eric, why are we in California |
| 0:40.3 | closed down when nobody else is closed down? Or it's why are you guys in California still closed |
| 0:46.5 | down when every other state is still open and we are all working safely? Okay, so I put some effort into an explanation as |
| 0:57.6 | best as I could come up with given my experience since March. So after everything that I've |
| 1:03.6 | seen, I think it's clear that the governor has closed our industry because it's one of the easiest |
| 1:09.2 | ways for him to simply show that |
| 1:12.3 | he's doing something about COVID while not incurring too much political backlash. |
| 1:20.3 | Of course, despite the fact that we're less of a spreader than just about every other business |
| 1:24.7 | that is allowed to remain open in California. We are |
| 1:29.5 | politically weak. Many beauty professionals still think that state board, which is our |
| 1:37.2 | regulator, is our advocate. State board is not our advocate. They are our regulator. They make rules that govern us, and then they punish us when they catch us not following the rules. That is our regulator. Okay. Just because you write a $50 license fee to them every two years, I think it is. That does not mean that they |
| 2:04.1 | need to advocate for you. That is simply you getting taxed by the government for them to enforce |
| 2:12.7 | rules upon you. Okay. They are our regulator. Please, please recognize this. Especially since March, |
| 2:23.7 | you know, this has just been so, so clear. Our real advocates are two. We have a national |
| 2:31.1 | advocate in the Professional Beauty Association, the PBA. |
| 2:35.0 | They're the ones that put on ISSE and you probably get an email from them, you know, every so often or whatever. |
| 2:42.0 | And then we have the Professional Beauty Federation of California. |
