I’m talking about why certifications have become more about ego and less about effectiveness, why some “certified” stylists are still struggling, and why I’ll always choose strong work over a flashy certificate.Whether you’re self-taught, certified 20 times over, or somewhere in between - 2025-05-1416 minMOURNING TEAEP 27: 3 Salons. 65 Stylists.
