    Loved Moselys episode.
    He always inspires me! So happy you featured him again. I have to say. I always find that the hair overseas is unimpressive. However. I recently went to Spain and I found that there was a lot of gorgeous styles. Both color and cut. Less balayage. More reds and platinums. Cute bobs and pixies. Just had to let you know.

    Love love love this podcast!
    Updated to add I still love this podcast after however many years I've been listening to it! I love the casual, yet professional conversations between Eric and the guest of the week. As a stylist of 17 years and studio owner, it’s nice to hear relatable content that keeps me inspired and always brewing new ideas. I’m taking my time with listening to them all so I don’t have to wait between episodes! Keep up the great work! - @jessjohnsonhair

    Finally taking a sec to give the 5⭐️ always deserved!
    Shame on me! This is my first time to take the time to post a review. I look forward to listening every week and have NEVER been disappointed. I usually listen in the car and am only disappointed when I get to my destination and have to shut it off and finish later! I get something out of each and every episode and adore listening to Eric. He is a beauty industry genius! Now that I know where to go to post a review, I will do it consistently. I can’t imagine giving any fewer than 5 stars! Thank you for all you do to contribute positively to the beauty industry! Your platform is powerful! Sincerely, Kristin Kienzle (Utopia Modern Salon Suites owner who ambitiously aspires to grow up in the Midwest to be just as big and great as Salon Republic!)

    Most Informative Hair Podcast
    Whether your a commission-based stylist or an independant stylist, The Hair Game is Pro Stylist. It is by far the most informative and up to date hair podcast. It delivers the goods on how to be a rock star hairstylist and also helps leaders elevate themselves to a standard others can follow. Eric is very personable and provides easy-going conversations with the best in the business. IG: @_katari_

    Best Hairstyling Podcast!
    I recommend this podcast to all stylists looking to stay relevant and improve in their business. I love the variety of stylists interviewed. It’s always so informative I feel like it’s been the best free education you can absorb just driving to and from work. It’s always entertaining hearing from such diverse interviews! Thank you Eric for all the effort you put into this podcast! XO- Naomi Lowther @hairartbynaomi

    A podcast for hairstylists!
    Where do I begin…when I started listening to this podcast, I worked for Ulta Beauty as a salon manager. I thought I would stay there forever. But late 2021 I got the worst news, my job has been dissolved. I never thought I would loose my job. So I began looking for another salon. I didn’t want just any other salon. Then listening to the Hair Game, there is this cohesive idea, that I can run my own salon suite. There were several episodes that encouraged me to do this! So March 2022 I opened my first 10x10 salon suite!!!! Thank you for the encouragement to take the big leap. Instagram handle @leftylucyhairandmakeup

    Love the hair game!
    I listen to this podcast every weekend on my drive to the supply store one town over. Keeps me motivated to chase my dreams. Thank you for changing my life for the better. I cry when I think about how far we have come together and how far we can keep going. I hope you too achieve your dreams. Keep reaching for stars and you may just grab one. My ig is barbershop_49

    Binge worthy!
    I’ve been listening to the Hair Game Podcast for a few years and it’s truly my favorite podcast to listen to on my way to the salon for some motivation / grounding. It’s nice to get a glimpse into the life of my “favorite” stylists that I follow especially because what we post on social media always shows the positive things, so it’s nice to hear the rawness behind their journey to “success”. Thank you Eric for continuing to have these conversations! ❤️ IG: @jacquelineroseinstyle

  • Kristen617
    The best beauty industry podcast!
    This is exactly what I was looking for in a podcast about the hair industry. Eric’s guests are stylists I already admire, and he has in-depth conversations about their careers & the journey they took to get there. My Instagram was hacked last year, and the social media advice I have heard on The Hair Game has been my main resource to help me rebuild my following. I am about to own my salon, and the education I have gotten from this podcast makes me feel much more confident in taking this on. @hairbykristenball
  • jeweldoeshair
    Hairgame is an amazing place to connect with the industry!
    I tune in every week to hear the latest episode of the hairgame podcast. Eric always has amazing guests on his show. I love the easy access to so much valuable information and conversations between Eric and industry leaders. This podcast makes it easy to stay well informed on all the latest trends and current news in the hair industry. I highly recommend listening in! There’s great info, awesome guests, and good humor! 5 out of 5 would def continuing listening every week!!!! - julian normand @jeweldoeshair Licensed stylist from NY
  • ckvhs
    Host is so spot on
    I love the questions Eric asks his guests! I also like that he brings people on that aren’t afraid to speak the truth about the industry and about how it is evolving and changing and how different each of us can be and still thrive! Keep up the good work!
  • Laureegs
    Love this podcast!
    I started listening to this podcast when I was in hair school about a year ago and it has continued to be such a source of inspiration to me to hear Eric and the guests come on and talk about their experiences in the industry. Thank you all for opening up about your journeys and paving the way for us newer stylists! <3 @lauloveshair

    The best way to start the day
    I absolutely love this podcast and would recommend it to anyone of my Cosmo/nail techs/family and friends! I listen to it every morning while I get ready for work, I won’t have much time during the day but I always make time for the hair game. My life has been more healthier and happier when I start the day with your pod cast! Also todays episode is 🔥(3/8/22) from comedian to barber! I’ve been a hustler and comedian my whole life so I can relate so much, I used to go out and sell my toys and lemonade on the street to make money for my comic books, I was made for this industry, I help promote shirts on the side for a fellow barber, I use the same skills with writing down info about my clients so they aren’t just paying for nails they are paying for a whole mood/experience! Ok ok I will stop now 😂 thanks again it really makes my millinum hearing this pod cast, when I don’t have any new I just re listen to them again! Also I’m a Cosmo who does nails and no hair, because I don’t think I’m that good at it.Thanks for all the great tips, tricks and knowledge! Best regards Rebekah Garrison @nailz_by_rebekah

    Mind blowing Hair talk
    I just started listening no more that a week ago. I saw Sharon page and she was announcing this podcast. I am hooked. I’ve listen to several other in between Sharon 2nd part. As a hairstylist from LA I totally know who the artist she is talking abou🤐. Just listing to this podcast made me relatable to Sharon because I’m from the valley and Robbi cuz I too went through the Regional Occupational Program, beauty school was free. And Meg and I basically switched, I move to Maryland. I can’t wait to keep listening. Everyone has their own story and I am proud of mine. @Stacey_q_hairstylist

    I listen anytime I’m in the car! Or while I’m cleaning up. I’ve been in the hair business for 17 years.

This podcast has been such an inspiration and motivational force! - @jazminebeauty1991

    Priceless Inspiration & information for hair industry
    It’s been a while since I’ve listened due to the pandemic. It was really difficult to listen when we couldn’t work. I’m greatly inspired by episode 226 with Smeggs. So much was related to my career experiences…Decided to listen again while out for a run. Honestly felt like I was eavesdropping on a conversation, sound quality is AWESOME! Thank you!!! I’m listening for inspiration not just the $500 pot loot!!!!🤗 @olgacastrohair
  • ashfrye
    Best podcast ever!
    I just started listening to podcasts and as a cosmetologist, I wanted to focus on growing more in the year 2022. I found this channel and let me tell you, it has been the best motivator. I have been doing hair for 8 years and can relate on so many levels. This podcast pushes me to do better every day I walk into “work” Please check out my Instagram. Ashley.extendedbeautybar
