00:08.715 --> 00:09.796
[SPEAKER_06]: I like pink color.

00:09.816 --> 00:10.136
[SPEAKER_06]: I like color.

00:10.156 --> 00:10.556
[SPEAKER_06]: I like color.

[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, I got you.

00:12.237 --> 00:14.178
[SPEAKER_06]: First of all, I didn't take top.

00:14.258 --> 00:15.118
[SPEAKER_06]: So it's hard.

00:15.358 --> 00:22.482

00:24.263 --> 00:26.684

[SPEAKER_07]: I know I did it again.

00:32.089 --> 00:32.630
[SPEAKER_07]: It's okay.

00:32.670 --> 00:33.190
[SPEAKER_07]: We're going.

00:33.751 --> 00:34.752
[SPEAKER_07]: And today I have Heather.

00:35.132 --> 00:36.494
[SPEAKER_02]: Heather Taylor, nursing actor.

00:36.914 --> 00:39.897
[SPEAKER_05]: Kristen Kristen Samborn, licensed estition.

00:40.397 --> 00:42.159
[SPEAKER_07]: And again, we have Mr. Tony.

00:42.179 --> 00:42.259
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

00:43.880 --> 00:45.662
[SPEAKER_01]: Tony, you know, stress energy aesthetic.

00:45.822 --> 00:47.043
[SPEAKER_01]: The guy, the guy.

00:47.444 --> 00:49.806
[SPEAKER_07]: If you were here last week, he is Heather's go.

00:52.368 --> 00:55.871
[SPEAKER_07]: Claire, okay.

00:56.291 --> 01:00.074
[SPEAKER_07]: So why would we bring that up those?

01:00.094 --> 01:02.216
[SPEAKER_07]: Because today we want to talk about men and aesthetics.

01:02.857 --> 01:05.339
[SPEAKER_07]: Personally, I've seen a growth in my treatment room.

01:05.599 --> 01:12.604
[SPEAKER_07]: Also on my TikTok, I see a lot more men being professionals in aesthetics.

01:13.185 --> 01:13.545
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you.

01:14.566 --> 01:18.069
[SPEAKER_07]: And I thought this was a great conversation to have with a man in aesthetics.

01:19.069 --> 01:22.417
[SPEAKER_07]: So, and here we are.

01:22.437 --> 01:23.700
[SPEAKER_02]: So, um, as wet.

01:28.550 --> 01:29.511
[SPEAKER_07]: I didn't order this correctly.

01:29.531 --> 01:30.291
[SPEAKER_07]: Heather helped me out here.

01:30.611 --> 01:38.517
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll just like how, like, in the ten plus years that you've been in the industry, I'm sure you've seen, like, an influx, how that has all changed.

01:38.897 --> 01:43.761
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I think that more, I think over the last several years, for sure.

01:43.801 --> 01:46.963
[SPEAKER_01]: I think companies are targeting men more.

01:47.563 --> 01:52.026
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it was as, you know, as big of a focus, probably ten years ago.

01:53.187 --> 01:55.409
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think that it has grown significantly.

01:55.709 --> 01:56.630
[SPEAKER_01]: I think a part of it.

01:57.605 --> 02:12.033
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I personally think too that when we all lived in the COVID world, and we were, you know, in front of Zoom calls and on camera, you know, for whatever, a couple of years, you know, I maybe that's transitioning, I hate Zoom calls, by the way.

02:12.093 --> 02:12.293
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

02:12.313 --> 02:14.694
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, maybe that's transitioning.

02:14.714 --> 02:16.935
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they were seeing their faces so much.

02:17.096 --> 02:24.600
[SPEAKER_01]: I think people started to see and look at themselves and really, you know, start noticing areas, but, you know, I also think that I think it's

02:25.587 --> 02:35.197
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's being focused on more, but I also think that I think we're in an area where a lot of these, you know, aesthetics is more than aesthetics, right?

02:35.217 --> 02:35.918
[SPEAKER_01]: It's wellness.

02:35.998 --> 02:38.321
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, you know, hormone testosterone.

02:38.341 --> 02:41.764
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of other things involved, and so I think that

02:42.485 --> 02:49.075
[SPEAKER_01]: I think men are starting maybe in a smaller area, but then they're looking at other things, right?

02:49.095 --> 02:50.877
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they're there for wellness or whatnot.

02:51.238 --> 02:53.361
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, it's been a huge blow up of self-care.

02:53.381 --> 02:54.482
[SPEAKER_07]: It's self-care era.

02:54.502 --> 02:54.903
[SPEAKER_01]: For sure.

02:55.083 --> 02:55.404
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

02:55.704 --> 02:56.765
[SPEAKER_07]: And men are hopping on that.

02:57.026 --> 02:57.887
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and I feel like

02:58.648 --> 03:15.335
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, they come in like they just kind of dip their toe in the water like they come in for their wife makes them come in for something or they hear about something and they come in for that and then they're like, okay, now what about this and then what about that and then now we'll get into skin care now we'll get into injectables.

03:15.775 --> 03:30.271
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I have quite a few men that are sales like in sales and just feel like, you know, they're kind of fighting in this industry of younger men and they, um, they just kind of want to look a little bit more youthful.

03:30.431 --> 03:34.696
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I've definitely seen an increase in the last couple of years.

03:35.797 --> 03:38.000
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, and I mean, how has it been working?

03:38.381 --> 03:40.624
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, and I guess you've been in here for about ten years.

03:41.044 --> 03:41.265
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

03:41.946 --> 03:45.971
[SPEAKER_07]: How has it been like working in a female field?

03:45.991 --> 03:48.975
[SPEAKER_07]: Because we are the new trend is pink color.

03:49.616 --> 03:52.460
[SPEAKER_07]: This and hair stylist and all that is like pink color now.

03:53.682 --> 03:54.543
[SPEAKER_07]: And so how does that?

03:54.583 --> 03:55.484
[SPEAKER_07]: How has it been for you?

03:55.524 --> 03:56.205
[SPEAKER_07]: You say pink color.

03:56.245 --> 03:59.108
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it's always been kind of women

04:13.805 --> 04:15.907
[SPEAKER_05]: But there's a lot of men starting to come in.

04:16.348 --> 04:16.588
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

04:16.668 --> 04:17.629
[SPEAKER_07]: Am I tick-tock?

04:17.669 --> 04:20.853
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm telling you, I have a bunch of men, decisions on my tick-tock.

04:20.893 --> 04:27.059
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, and I went to school back in the day when I went to school, we had a guy that was, that went through a aesthetic school with us.

04:27.820 --> 04:34.488
[SPEAKER_05]: And he was, we always thought he was gay because he was very good at what he did, but he never talked.

04:35.308 --> 04:52.561
[SPEAKER_05]: and then on and he was very good at makeup and and everything and when he graduated he actually talked to us and he said that he was a marine and his wife owned a uh... salon and downtown and that there was so many

04:53.842 --> 05:08.228
[SPEAKER_05]: He was starting to see men coming into the industry and he's so but and so he was like, you know, it was something that I wanted to get into but if he came to school and he talked and everybody heard his deep voice and knew that he was a Marine, they they would think he didn't know what he was doing.

05:08.328 --> 05:08.568
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

05:09.349 --> 05:18.893
[SPEAKER_05]: And so I'm not sure what he's doing now, but that was always kind of a great eye opener to us is here's this this guy who's a dad and wanted to get into the field.

05:19.853 --> 05:21.894
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm saying there's a, and he was good.

05:22.174 --> 05:22.814
[SPEAKER_07]: Is it stigma?

05:22.934 --> 05:23.814
[SPEAKER_07]: Is stigma the right one?

05:24.154 --> 05:25.135
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, a little bit.

05:25.195 --> 05:27.235
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, just like socially acceptable.

05:27.395 --> 05:29.836
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, I just feel like that it's definitely evolving.

05:29.856 --> 05:30.936
[SPEAKER_07]: It's like making it in pedicures.

05:31.157 --> 05:33.017
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, they love it, but they're not going to tell you that.

05:33.197 --> 05:33.997
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's true.

05:34.337 --> 05:34.518
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

05:37.637 --> 05:38.698
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's find why it takes me.

05:38.738 --> 05:39.798
[SPEAKER_01]: That's you about the only time.

05:39.838 --> 05:40.279
[SPEAKER_07]: Like a date.

05:40.319 --> 05:41.179
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, that's what they said.

05:41.199 --> 05:42.560
[SPEAKER_07]: They say my wife makes me do it.

05:42.740 --> 05:46.022
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're picking and screaming the whole time.

05:46.062 --> 05:49.424
[SPEAKER_07]: But same goes whenever I have one that lays down for a facial, he falls asleep.

05:49.464 --> 05:52.226
[SPEAKER_07]: And he's like, I didn't do this more often.

05:52.526 --> 05:54.307
[SPEAKER_07]: But he's not going to tell anyone that.

05:54.587 --> 06:17.302
[SPEAKER_05]: or the headspot treatments have gotten really big for the guys because being a little more focused on dandruff and scalp issues and then the skin underneath of the beards and you know just getting that skin feeling better and looking better where it's not flaking and then they feel a lot less self conscious plus it feels amazing a lot about this headspot and you gotta come stop

06:22.025 --> 06:23.989
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll have Macy try one out on you.

06:24.009 --> 06:25.872
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, tell that you're gonna let you distract us.

06:25.912 --> 06:27.796
[SPEAKER_01]: Even do it for the people with that receding.

06:28.016 --> 06:29.038
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, that's what it's for.

06:29.058 --> 06:31.302
[SPEAKER_07]: Well also

06:32.877 --> 06:35.219
[SPEAKER_07]: You've been having quite a few men come in for injectables.

06:35.399 --> 06:35.919
[SPEAKER_07]: And Botox.

06:35.959 --> 06:36.379
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

06:36.540 --> 06:37.060
[SPEAKER_07]: That's kind of big.

06:37.100 --> 06:38.461
[SPEAKER_07]: And you're a man that does Botox.

06:38.801 --> 06:40.202
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, so we can get both sides.

06:40.242 --> 06:40.943
[SPEAKER_07]: Don't get a drink.

06:40.983 --> 06:41.183
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

06:41.223 --> 06:42.304
[SPEAKER_08]: But he does do Botox.

06:42.384 --> 06:43.885
[SPEAKER_01]: I do see him in, but he does.

06:44.045 --> 06:44.305
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes.

06:44.385 --> 06:45.506
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes.

06:45.546 --> 06:45.686
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

06:45.706 --> 06:45.926
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

06:46.186 --> 06:46.406
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

06:46.747 --> 06:47.447
[SPEAKER_01]: Not to compute.

06:47.487 --> 06:47.627
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

06:47.667 --> 06:47.908
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

06:47.948 --> 06:48.128
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

06:48.168 --> 06:48.388
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

06:48.488 --> 06:48.608
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

06:48.648 --> 06:48.928
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

06:49.128 --> 06:56.854
[SPEAKER_01]: I, you know, it's funny when I got into this industry, like I said, you know, ten plus years ago, I had never done any sort of a, anything aesthetic.

06:57.034 --> 06:57.154
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh-huh.

06:58.755 --> 06:59.636
[SPEAKER_01]: It took me about a year.

06:59.656 --> 07:02.978
[SPEAKER_01]: And I remember my wife saying, you know, are you going to try this?

07:03.058 --> 07:06.661
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, you know, because I was kind of a little iffy.

07:07.401 --> 07:07.821
[SPEAKER_01]: But I did.

07:07.841 --> 07:13.325
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, I mean, now I'm, I'm not regular, just because, but I mean, I do it probably at least two to three times a year.

07:13.966 --> 07:17.468
[SPEAKER_01]: And, uh, but I loved it after I did it, you know, but it took me a little bit.

07:17.488 --> 07:20.050
[SPEAKER_01]: I had it, like you said, I had to dip my toe in the water a little bit.

07:20.090 --> 07:20.290
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

07:20.750 --> 07:23.492
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say, um, I can't speak for all men, but, um,

07:25.153 --> 07:32.097
[SPEAKER_01]: probably part of the reason to that I that I didn't rush into it is because, you know, most men are kind of babies.

07:33.358 --> 07:34.799
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll be the first to that I'm kind of a baby.

07:34.819 --> 07:35.679
[SPEAKER_01]: So like the idea of

07:40.367 --> 07:46.010
[SPEAKER_01]: laser hair or, you know, being poked with a needle, it kind of, you know, freaks me out a little bit.

07:46.210 --> 07:49.992
[SPEAKER_02]: I have one male client that, in particular, that just, I'm thinking of him.

07:50.052 --> 07:52.453
[SPEAKER_02]: And he has crow's feet, bother him.

07:52.513 --> 07:53.474
[SPEAKER_02]: That's his worst.

07:53.534 --> 08:04.500
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he gets it everywhere, but the crow's feet area, but he'll be high or like holding the little vibrating tool, you know, just like clinch and as hard as he can, and just tears will be written.

08:05.720 --> 08:07.602
[SPEAKER_02]: It's okay, like we're going really fast.

08:07.622 --> 08:09.183
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just deers or running down.

08:09.783 --> 08:11.564
[SPEAKER_05]: And it really doesn't hurt that bad.

08:11.865 --> 08:12.525
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just poking.

08:12.565 --> 08:14.106
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just a sense of area.

08:14.166 --> 08:15.587
[SPEAKER_05]: Amy is, don't worry about it guys.

08:15.888 --> 08:30.138
[SPEAKER_05]: What would you be your recommendation for, you know, a fella that's looking at or a wife or a girlfriend that's wanting to help her significant other to go in and start some treatments?

08:30.198 --> 08:32.660
[SPEAKER_05]: Where would you advise him to start?

08:34.016 --> 08:34.718
[SPEAKER_01]: You asking me your hand.

08:34.738 --> 08:35.519
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm asking you.

08:35.660 --> 08:38.926
[SPEAKER_05]: If this was you, where would you dip your toe in?

08:39.602 --> 08:49.669
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I think that I think Botox or Zaman, I mean, I think that's probably the first, you know, probably area to start or dip your toe in.

08:49.749 --> 08:51.170
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, when you agree, yeah.

08:51.550 --> 09:00.757
[SPEAKER_01]: And the nice thing about it is is you can, you can use it in a lot of different areas, but you can be real, you know, we can just do those little frown lines right between your eyebrows.

09:00.817 --> 09:02.058
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's a great start point.

09:02.078 --> 09:02.158
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

09:02.178 --> 09:03.539
[SPEAKER_02]: I have one guy that's all he wants.

09:03.859 --> 09:05.200
[SPEAKER_02]: He wants to have movement.

09:05.300 --> 09:06.781
[SPEAKER_02]: He wants the forehead wrinkles.

09:06.841 --> 09:09.283
[SPEAKER_02]: He just doesn't like the deep number of lemons.

09:09.383 --> 09:29.113
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, and I also think there's a lot of you can get Xiamin Botox or whatever brand You can get that injected and still still move your face a lot I think people think that there's this perception that you get that Yeah, I was in person now, you know walks through the room and it's like oh my gosh, what did you have done?

09:29.133 --> 09:32.655
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean that's the idea of injectables is is to

09:33.375 --> 09:37.461
[SPEAKER_01]: make yourself for fresh and good, but not, you know, not the person to notice.

09:37.481 --> 09:42.167
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you can totally get that accomplished for sure with the right injector.

09:42.347 --> 09:43.489
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, for sure.

09:43.509 --> 09:48.656
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, and I see in guys, you know, with the number of levels, you know, they just look angry.

09:49.537 --> 09:58.023
[SPEAKER_05]: And so once you go in and you soften that, and they don't have that squinty angry look, it takes years off.

09:58.043 --> 10:03.167
[SPEAKER_05]: And you know, it just kind of changes our whole person, the angle of their face.

10:03.987 --> 10:05.068
[SPEAKER_05]: And it just kind of changes.

10:05.088 --> 10:07.110
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like, why are you, did you work out?

10:07.230 --> 10:07.590
[SPEAKER_05]: Did you?

10:07.950 --> 10:08.470
[SPEAKER_02]: What happened?

10:08.671 --> 10:10.212
[SPEAKER_02]: You look like there's so much happier.

10:10.412 --> 10:10.732
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

10:10.892 --> 10:14.175
[SPEAKER_02]: And for men, just genetically, their muscles are just

10:15.095 --> 10:18.458
[SPEAKER_02]: bigger, thicker, deeper than women's just genetically.

10:18.578 --> 10:21.260
[SPEAKER_02]: And so they tend to take a little bit more product.

10:22.961 --> 10:29.967
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, and I also think too that with the craze of the last few years of, you know, the weight loss draw.

10:29.987 --> 10:30.347
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.

10:30.387 --> 10:31.588
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of Glutide, all that.

10:32.649 --> 10:40.555
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, men and women, but I mean, they're losing, you know, the men, you know, for the topic of conversation that they're losing

10:41.195 --> 10:42.857
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, yeah, volume.

10:42.997 --> 10:47.864
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I think that they're looking for something to, you know, recover that.

10:48.705 --> 10:51.468
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I'm sorry, a game and into skincare.

10:51.508 --> 10:52.249
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

10:52.269 --> 10:56.054
[SPEAKER_07]: I only say we've, I always start them with a hydrophacial because my husband,

10:56.875 --> 11:04.344
[SPEAKER_07]: His biggest pet peeve is because he works around dirt dust, he's sweaty, nasty, his nose, his pores.

11:05.305 --> 11:11.573
[SPEAKER_07]: And so I've seen a lot of men start coming in for hydrophasials, as well as we've had a couple come in for big peels.

11:12.013 --> 11:12.334
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

11:12.494 --> 11:13.415
[SPEAKER_07]: Which that's crazy to me.

11:13.555 --> 11:17.136
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and I just out of the blue had a guy that I went to high school with.

11:17.716 --> 11:29.659
[SPEAKER_02]: He messaged me and was just kind of wanting to get on this skin care journey now and is like, you know, I know that I'm in my mid-forties and the over-the-counter stuff isn't really working for me.

11:29.759 --> 11:31.480
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want anything, you know.

11:31.720 --> 11:33.021
[SPEAKER_07]: I think they're, I don't know why.

11:33.041 --> 11:34.923
[SPEAKER_07]: Look, because we're a spa.

11:35.063 --> 11:35.223
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

11:35.263 --> 11:38.206
[SPEAKER_07]: So they get a little embarrassed to come in, but I mean, we won't tell anyone.

11:38.226 --> 11:38.706
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no.

11:38.967 --> 11:39.687
[SPEAKER_02]: And I mean, it was great.

11:39.707 --> 11:44.612
[SPEAKER_02]: He was Lena had a whole program for him to, with the skin better line.

11:44.712 --> 11:46.293
[SPEAKER_07]: And that's good thing about skin better.

11:46.333 --> 11:48.996
[SPEAKER_07]: They have a solo, which is a men's product.

11:49.396 --> 11:51.238
[SPEAKER_07]: It's literally the trio and the alto together.

11:51.278 --> 11:54.241
[SPEAKER_07]: So all you have to do is one product, unless you want to add another one.

11:54.781 --> 11:57.424
[SPEAKER_07]: But that product is especially formulated for men.

11:57.444 --> 11:57.784
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

11:58.024 --> 12:04.766
[SPEAKER_05]: And I think something else that we do, and I think this is a lot of fun is on the third Thursday events on the Harrisville Square.

12:05.346 --> 12:08.988
[SPEAKER_05]: The girls will have a lot of fun and do a five dollar nose and ear wax.

12:09.068 --> 12:12.249
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh my gosh, we have so many wives that drag her man.

12:12.509 --> 12:15.830
[SPEAKER_07]: He's who the third Thursday event just so they can get their nose and ears.

12:15.990 --> 12:17.550
[SPEAKER_05]: And these guys have no idea what's going on.

12:17.890 --> 12:26.593
[SPEAKER_05]: And so when they show up, and they show up, and then their wives are like, okay, sit down, this is what, well, then they can't back out because then they look like we need to.

12:26.733 --> 12:39.476
[SPEAKER_05]: And so they get their nose and your ears waxed, and while they got the wax on, the girls will throw something on their, their, you know, and then they'll come back on their own because it's so much easier.

12:39.856 --> 12:40.556
[SPEAKER_05]: It's quick.

12:41.016 --> 12:44.737
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't realize how much hair is sitting there that everybody's looking at.

12:45.497 --> 12:52.740
[SPEAKER_05]: And so you guys, third Thursday, come with your wife, to those events and come get your nose in your earwax.

12:52.960 --> 12:54.061
[SPEAKER_05]: For pub bucks each, that's good.

12:54.101 --> 12:56.442
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, that's really good deal.

12:56.482 --> 12:59.883
[SPEAKER_07]: I have more boys, but they're eighteen, nineteen, twenty.

12:59.903 --> 13:02.204
[SPEAKER_07]: I have a lot of them in coming.

13:02.244 --> 13:03.645
[SPEAKER_07]: Like boys coming in for acne.

13:03.685 --> 13:03.965
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

13:04.585 --> 13:05.585
[SPEAKER_07]: I feel like it started out.

13:07.066 --> 13:14.210
[SPEAKER_02]: Facials are mostly teenage boys to boys in their twenties, but it was funny because it started out with one of our regular son.

13:14.471 --> 13:18.553
[SPEAKER_02]: And he did the acne facials and, like, kind of, and he loves it.

13:18.593 --> 13:19.294
[SPEAKER_02]: His facials.

13:19.374 --> 13:25.457
[SPEAKER_02]: And then it's like he went into high school friends, you know, so they play football and all the football gear and, oh, yeah.

13:25.878 --> 13:29.720
[SPEAKER_02]: So like then now his friends, they're, you know, they all come in all those teenage boys and

13:30.040 --> 13:35.944
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, because you don't think about it during when they're playing football, those pads and and then the helmets.

13:36.284 --> 13:38.346
[SPEAKER_05]: That's a lot of times you get bacteria.

13:38.546 --> 13:56.619
[SPEAKER_05]: You can see it, just right up there, their cheeks and a lot of the medication that your dermatologist are prescribing for these, this teen acne is too harsh because then your skin's sensitive, you're irritated, you're throwing that football helmet on, you're getting hot and sweaty and it's just not going to be a viable option for them.

13:57.119 --> 14:10.668
[SPEAKER_05]: And so by coming in and letting Lena and I don't, I'm not an acne specialist, Lena may see in Georgia will be let them get you on a program and then those guys can come in and we, they're monitoring them.

14:11.048 --> 14:14.851
[SPEAKER_05]: They're asking the questions, okay, are you washing your football equipment?

14:15.231 --> 14:16.492
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you washing your face at night?

14:16.552 --> 14:17.813
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you washing your face in the morning?

14:18.093 --> 14:21.616
[SPEAKER_05]: And so they're staying on top of these guys, which being a mom of four boys,

14:22.516 --> 14:23.176
[SPEAKER_05]: into girls.

14:24.257 --> 14:25.257
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, they're not going to tell me.

14:26.597 --> 14:28.078
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm like, okay, did you, did you do this?

14:28.098 --> 14:29.758
[SPEAKER_05]: They're like, yes, I did that.

14:30.098 --> 14:46.483
[SPEAKER_05]: But then, you know, if you've got these, these young girls that are professionals that are working with these kids, even the girls, the girls and teens, they're going to be a lot more to open up and say, hey, this, this acne is really causing some social, you know, embarrassment, can we, can you help me?

14:46.783 --> 14:51.124
[SPEAKER_07]: I say, I think the drive from me coming in is more of the social media aspect.

14:51.184 --> 14:53.405
[SPEAKER_07]: How many people are in front of the social media camera now?

14:53.605 --> 14:54.805
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think that's a big thing.

14:55.286 --> 14:57.606
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's grown significantly over the last several years.

14:57.626 --> 15:01.287
[SPEAKER_07]: I was trying to be TikTok famous, I was trying to be TikTok influencers, you know?

15:01.867 --> 15:07.489
[SPEAKER_07]: And so, because I have quite a bit of teenage to mid-twenties coming in for facials and stuff.

15:07.809 --> 15:08.009
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

15:08.169 --> 15:09.950
[SPEAKER_07]: And it's gotten a lot bigger the last couple years.

15:10.450 --> 15:16.475
[SPEAKER_05]: And I think, well, really quick, another thing that men are coming in that, that I'm really surprised is the laser hair removal.

15:17.116 --> 15:19.177
[SPEAKER_05]: On their head is, you know, they're balding.

15:19.798 --> 15:23.241
[SPEAKER_05]: They don't want to, you know, they're balding on top, but they have lots of hair on the sides.

15:23.281 --> 15:25.623
[SPEAKER_05]: They don't want to have to shave their heads consistently.

15:26.043 --> 15:30.287
[SPEAKER_05]: And so we're doing laser hair removal on the head to the other side of the best.

15:30.487 --> 15:32.949
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, man, the smell is now in the hospital.

15:32.969 --> 15:34.810
[SPEAKER_05]: It's right, but then they don't have to worry about it.

15:35.411 --> 15:36.532
[SPEAKER_07]: And you know, it's working.

15:36.892 --> 15:43.476
[SPEAKER_05]: So that's another aspect that we've kind of done along with, you know, with waxing is more laser hairy removal on guys.

15:43.776 --> 15:45.057
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

15:45.477 --> 15:48.058
[SPEAKER_01]: So let me ask you guys this being the only man here.

15:50.219 --> 15:56.223
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you think of it as a woman's perspective for the, you know, your man or, you know, whatever.

15:56.263 --> 15:59.144
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I mean, kind of what you want him to take care of themselves, right?

15:59.224 --> 15:59.585
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's

16:00.225 --> 16:03.887
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that if I think there's that aspect of it, right?

16:03.947 --> 16:26.698
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, I say from a wise perspective, I want my man to become because he doesn't I have two pictures of me and him and before he started in facials after he's actually been willing to get in pictures with me and be like in front of the camera with me and that has been like as a younger wife I guess, I don't know, but that's been a big deal because I get tired not having any pictures with him.

16:27.093 --> 16:31.977
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think the grooming is important, like with the nose hairs, the hair hair.

16:31.997 --> 16:32.998
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just real.

16:33.399 --> 16:33.919
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

16:35.340 --> 16:35.841
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't know.

16:35.881 --> 16:39.284
[SPEAKER_05]: These tall guys, and it's kind of funny because we have the tall guys come in.

16:39.364 --> 16:42.426
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like, look at the stick that we just waxed out of your nose.

16:42.647 --> 16:47.251
[SPEAKER_05]: All of these, us people that are down on the lower level are looking at your nose and seeing this.

16:47.811 --> 16:48.491
[SPEAKER_05]: you are not.

16:49.031 --> 16:52.832
[SPEAKER_05]: Now Tony is all I know.

16:53.032 --> 17:03.095
[SPEAKER_05]: He's not in the office during the week now but you know it's always a compliment because Mr. Eric is eight years younger than me and everybody thinks he's older than I am.

17:03.835 --> 17:10.537
[SPEAKER_05]: And so I think that kind of kick started him on like okay well maybe I need to do some facials maybe I need to get a little more groom because

17:12.257 --> 17:13.618
[SPEAKER_05]: So that I don't look so old.

17:13.918 --> 17:19.262
[SPEAKER_05]: But I think that these kids are six kids is what the two daughters is what gave him his gray hair.

17:19.822 --> 17:21.083
[SPEAKER_05]: But it's it's important.

17:21.183 --> 17:21.363
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

17:21.804 --> 17:25.126
[SPEAKER_07]: It's not the same generation healthy skin is engendered.

17:25.226 --> 17:26.207
[SPEAKER_07]: It's for everyone.

17:26.527 --> 17:29.329
[SPEAKER_07]: So if you feel like you want to start doing Facials, don't be shy.

17:29.409 --> 17:29.789
[SPEAKER_07]: Come on in.

17:29.969 --> 17:30.149
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

17:30.429 --> 17:30.810
[SPEAKER_07]: We do.

17:31.110 --> 17:32.050
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, we'll take care of you.

17:32.090 --> 17:34.052
[SPEAKER_07]: We'll get you on the best program for you.

17:34.492 --> 17:37.774
[SPEAKER_05]: And there's nothing that is that you can ask us.

17:37.794 --> 17:38.694
[SPEAKER_05]: That's going to embarrass us.

17:38.914 --> 17:40.315
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, especially Lena.

17:40.335 --> 17:41.856
[SPEAKER_05]: There's nothing that embarrasses Lena.

17:42.756 --> 17:43.237
[SPEAKER_07]: True story.

17:43.257 --> 17:43.977
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't love it.

17:43.997 --> 17:45.538
[SPEAKER_07]: I have a lot of my clients.

17:45.598 --> 17:45.978
[SPEAKER_07]: It's fun.

17:46.498 --> 17:47.059
[SPEAKER_07]: We have good times.

17:48.139 --> 17:50.920
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, guys, well, I think that is all time we have for today.

17:50.960 --> 17:51.820
[SPEAKER_07]: When have anything else to add?

17:52.840 --> 17:53.380
[SPEAKER_07]: No, thanks so.

17:53.500 --> 17:54.000
[SPEAKER_07]: Thanks for.

17:54.140 --> 17:56.241
[SPEAKER_07]: I think it's been awesome having Tony.

17:56.641 --> 18:02.122
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I mean, we have to come back again sometime and be exposed to us.

18:02.922 --> 18:03.243
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.

18:03.723 --> 18:05.163
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll have a whole panel of men.

18:05.363 --> 18:05.663
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.

18:06.283 --> 18:10.384
[SPEAKER_07]: I say we were trying to get some more in here, but I dropped the ball like always.

18:11.304 --> 18:13.725
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought you did fantastic.

18:13.765 --> 18:14.125
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

18:14.185 --> 18:16.146

18:16.186 --> 18:17.326
[SPEAKER_07]: Like Tony was so we're talking about.

18:17.346 --> 18:17.646
[SPEAKER_07]: I was like,

18:18.466 --> 18:19.747
[SPEAKER_07]: He gave me another day.

18:20.268 --> 18:21.388
[SPEAKER_07]: And then it wasn't Friday.

18:21.408 --> 18:23.170
[SPEAKER_07]: I was like, I got it done.

18:23.190 --> 18:36.439
[SPEAKER_05]: So if you have some subjects for us to talk about, you know, whether no matter how generic it is, about, you know, our world or even anything else, leave us a note.
