0:00.0	These are the highlights of the full episode.
0:09.1	Hey everybody, Donovan here, producer of the Hair Game podcast.
0:13.0	Two new locations for Salon Republic opening this summer, one in West Hollywood on Santa Monica Boulevard,
0:18.9	and the other one is in Westwood, California, just off the 405 there, near Brentwood. People are reserving their studios now, so go to SalonRepublic.com, book a virtual tour so you can get first dibs on your space. They are going quick. Also, we are getting great suggestions on who we should bring on as guests. Keep those coming. We love that. If there's someone you think we should bring on the show that we haven't, shoot us a DM at the Hair Game podcast. Let us know who they are. Also, video versions of our episodes are on the YouTube channel. Check them out at the Hair Game on YouTube. That's our channel there. Subscribe to that and check out the Hair Game Podcast playlist.

1:50.9	Enough for them to throw out a shingle, so to speak, and put a chair, what, on the street
1:59.0	or maybe even get a storefront and start charging for haircuts?
2:03.9	Yeah, I would say, to be honest, by the end of the week, there are six or seven.
2:08.9	You would not believe how well the trainees can cut hair at the end of the week.
