172 Hair has no race with self-titled ‘Hair Historian and Activist' Mahogany Plautz

I get an enormous amount of enjoyment from all of my guests on the podcast… And, I also learn a lot from them too… The best way to learn is to ask questions. …And to be prepared to question your own beliefs and attitudes. To be vulnerable, to listen, to be open, honest, tolerant, and to be prepared to broaden your own perspective… And above all, to be receptive to change.  This year, in particular, an area that I (and many others) have learnt more about, is the issues around race. And as hairdressers, the direct impact that has in terms of the training we get, the products we use, …and the services we offer, particularly around textured hair. On today’s podcast, my guest is the wonderful Mahogany Plautz, and amongst the many hats she wears is that of hairdresser, former suite owner, and a self-titled ‘Hair Historian and Activist’ and an educator for John Paul Mitchell Systems… This episode was originally done as part of a series of live video recordings for Paul Mitchell, but I decided to repurpose it for the podcast as it is a great conversation. Originally it went out on Facebook and Youtube and so if you’d rather watch the video, just head on over to my YouTube channel @ Grow My salon Business and watch it there.   For full show notes, links and resources mentioned visit: https://growmysalonbusiness.com/podcast/172/    Thanks so much for joining me this week.
