  • Gordon Miller is a Hair Podcast God

    By far my favorite hair podcast. Gordon Miller not only hosts the best in the industry, but his kindness, empathy, compassion, knowledge, and wisdom make him the most enjoyable person to listen to. Nothing gets me ready for work more than listening to an episode on the way to the salon. His conversations give you comfort that you're not alone and the insiration to strive for your maximum potential. The 2 series with Garren and Daniel Mason-Jones derserve an award. They're THAT GOOD!
