Hey listeners, I'm Eric Taylor, and this is The Hair Game.

Big apologies from my audio on this episode, everybody.

When Elizabeth and I were recording, we recorded over Zoom, and it was my first time recording over Zoom,

and I did the settings wrong. So my audio is a little bit less clear than normal. Luckily, Elizabeth

sounded great and that's what matters most. New Salon Republic openings in Southern California.

We got Torrance, we got Escondido, Valencia, Burbank, and Thousand Oaks, all opening between

August and October of this year.

Go to SalonRepublic.com for more information or just hit the link in my Instagram bio.

Craft Lookbook is happening soon in Hollywood, July 13th and 14th.

Don't forget to check it out. Not too much longer after you're listening to this intro do you have to get tickets to Kraft Lookbook. It's going to be massively educational with many educators who have flown in from all over the world to teach classes. And of course, it's going to be super fun with carnival games and other unique things. Hit the link in my bio for info and tickets. I hope to see you there.

And now the weekly Podloose giveaway. Got my bag. I am sifting through your names. And the winner of

the G.D. Air Elite Pro Hair dryer is the Curlorist.

I'll tell you what next week's podalute will be at the end of this episode.

Now to Elizabeth Faye.

Elizabeth Faye. Hey, Elizabeth Faye.

Hey, hey. Does everybody call you, hey, Elizabeth Faye, or does anybody call you like Liz?

No, no. People think it's funny to say, hey, Elizabeth F say, which is, yeah, it's cute.

But, no, I go by Elizabeth, and I'm, like, always laugh at how much, even my boyfriend has my name Elizabeth's day in his phone.
