  • New salon owner!!

    GMS has been incredibly helpful to me as I began opening a salon and now that the salon is open. I love the guests Antony has on but I think I enjoy his “pep talks” the best. I listen on my way to and from the salon and I feel like he is talking to me. And I can listen multiple times and get something new out of each episode. Thank you Antony!!
