Salonspa Connection has started a YouTube channel! Why would we start such an initiative? Let us tell you why…
Since the launch of this company in 2018, we have met countless owners, students, hairstylists, barbers, nail technicians, estheticians, massage therapists and other members of our community who have amazingly interesting lives and opportunities. Why keep all of this knowledge and experience quiet??
Here is just a small sample of what is going on with our YouTube channel!

Ryan goes on to talk about his mentors and how they play into how he educates in an environment that is much like going to a Metallica concert. Ryan talks about his video series “More Awesomer Hairdresser” as a method of self help and a cure for the boredom of typical hair you see posted on Instagram.
