Hey everybody, it's Eric Taylor and this is the Hair Game.

I want to start this week by shouting out our international listeners.

The fact that we even have international listeners to me is totally crazy.

We have a good number of listeners from English-speaking countries like Ireland, Australia and Canada,

as well as non-English-speaking countries like Slovenia. We've got like five listeners

in Slovenia, which is so cool. So would our international listeners please reach out to us via

Instagram, Salon Republic or my Instagram, which is the number four, Eric Taylor, or you can write a

review on Apple Podcasts or Stitcher. Let us know what you're liking

about the show. Is the info that we're spitting relevant to hair in your country too?

And how is it different? I'd love to know. Today's conversation is with one of my favorite people,

Carlos Sugar Skulls Ramos. Donovan and I went to his sugar skulls loft in

downtown L.A. to shoot him with a client. Then we climbed several flights of stairs to the roof of the

building where we recorded this interview, which is just so L.A. The Sugar Skulls Lof is basically

a live workspace four stories up that Carlos uses a little bit

for live and a whole lot for work. He's made this unique setup work well for years and we're going

to find out how. Check out the video of this interview on Salonrepublic.com or YouTube at the

hair game page and see his cool space and the great views that we got of DTLA.

I'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell, but by the end of this interview, I was freezing

my ass off, so hopefully it doesn't show too badly.

So I'm sitting here with Carlos Sugar Skulls Ramos and we are where right now?

We're at the Sugar Skulls Loft on the rooftop, mercantile lofts in downtown Los Angeles.

On the rooftop outside and this might be the coldest day that we've had in LA for like maybe 10 years.
