More Great Reviews for the Documentary THE REAL HAIR TRUTH!

~ Joseph Kellner

 

 

In the movie, “The Real Hair Truth” Joseph Kellner has taken the first step in exposing some of the negative aspects of the hairdressing profession. Not to ridicule or pass judgment but instead to hopefully bring to light the fact that, change must occur if we are to keep our industry flourishing as the highly professional occupation that it should be.

 

As a beauty professional of 40 years which encompasses Salon Ownership, Haircolor Educator, Educational Consultant to product manufacturers and Author of eight industry educational books, I am pleased to see that this Pandora’s box has finally been opened and now on film for all to see.  Hopefully, as an industry we will work together to improve the various aspects of the beauty profession that has made this such a wonderful and glorious industry to be part of.

Shelly Van Pelt Hey joseph i just watched the film a couple of days ago and i have to say that im very impressed. It’s about time someone came and turned the industry inside out. I’d highly recomend this for film anyone, especially those considering a career in the beauty industry.

Joseph CirafisiI really enjoyed watching this documentary Joseph. I do want to shine a brighter light on commission based compensation and i do not feel service charges belong in a commissioned salon but I’ll leave the rest of my opinions for the next documentary. I highly recommend everyone purchase a copy of this film, and i must s…ay Joseph did an excellent job in presenting to the industry what many of us have definitely wanted to do at one time or another. You said it best Joseph, unless we all unite together as owners to take a stand on diversion, it will remain a cancer within the industry.

…”a great movie ,it will open your eyes and mind and make you understand what needs to change in the world we live in and do everyday,the movie took four years to make and is worth its cost, but you need to look at more then one time I have now looked at it three times,each time the point of the movie comes home even greater ,buy it if you care what is need changed around what we do”

Lisa Pelletier Kelley I agree with Jesse Briggs. I think this film is a great insight into our industry. It explains so much….. We are disconnected and this reconnects who and what we are as an industry…… It all needed to be said and it all needs to be done. I’m just glad that Joseph took it upon himself to do this for us! Someone ne…eded to and I’m glad someone finally did. Applaud Applaud Applaud

Donna Maltais Petersen I watched the film as soon as i got my copy. This should be part of cosmetology school curriculum. I truly feel this will be a catalyst in changing our industry forever. Thank you, Joseph!

Stephen Marinaro Joseph, I gotta say this was a great production. The great thing is that you covered so many topics and broke them down in categories. This was a great strategy. You covered a-z and it may cause some doubts, confusion, but as you said positive comes from negative. Each topic you covered was really interesting and it wa…s great to see the people you interviewed share their opinions. I have a lot to add as well and I’d love to see a part 2.
Joseph is doing something that no one or not many do. Offering Scholarships to people that can’t afford continuing education which is showing he wants to help. I do feel that we ALL could use money and items for education, however it’s admirable you are taking this step. Congrats again!

Debra Becker I enjoyed your documentary very much. Recommending.

Kimberli Aldrich Denton The most amazing documentary about our business. I hope that all stylist, owners and schools get their hands on this film. I am actually calling a meeting with my stylist so we all can watch this and discuss this> Thank you for taking time to research and make this amazing film!

Jesse L Briggs THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY , YOU MUST SEE “THE REAL HAIR TRUTH” VIDEO BY JOSEPH KELLNER & NOTABLE BUSINESS MEN & WOMEN SALON OWNERS AND STYLIST ON VIDEO SPEAK THEIR BELIEFS AND THE TRUTHS THEY SPEAK , JOSEPH HAS DONE A HISTORY CHANGEING DOCUMENTARY ABOUT OUR BUSINESS , A MUST SEE. 5… STAR JESSE & FLO BRIGGS (c) buy this video for a friend ! Report
hello all stylist & salon owneres , i have review and watch THE REAL HAIR TRUTH 9 times and the only thing i find wrong with the video is i didnt think of it my self , BRAVO JOSEPH KELLNER a must see !!!!!!!

William J. Messer I was truly hoping I could find a way to razz a Navy guy as Army guys are supposed to do unfortunately the quality of the DVD, the content the logic and the simple common sense of the message was absolutely brilliant! I would have taken Joseph to task so this is not a kudo lightly given. It is a wake-up call to our beauty industry and we can all be there to see it happen if we wake-up as well. Thanks Joseph, Stone-man and the rest of the cast and crew. Buy it, share it with your co-workers. I hear there might be a part 2…

Alice Woodrum Joseph, your video”The real hair truth ” is priceless. We can’t stop watching it!!! I agree with the whole message 100% and feel that your video should be in all salon video libraries. Good job, thank’s…

Albie Mulcahy  I lot of what I said about my friend Paul M the real deal was not in the film. Guess I said to many good things about him the Man.

Rhonda Kelly Joseph , I just watched your film tonight, after I digest a bit Im going back for seconds. The Professional Beauty industry was indeed founded on A pair of scissors, A comb & the creative passionate stylist . Paul Mitchell himself shared with me that ” a hairdresser needs three things to be successful, CREATIVITY EDU…CATION & TENACITY” I believe this.
Without “THE HAIR STYLIST” there would not be an industry.

Eric Charles Mokotoff  Bill Peplow’s comical rantings were a pathetic attempt at a corporate defense. Until PM can actaully prove otherwise nothing will convince me that they themselves do not divert to the 1000’s of stores nationwide. Using mass markets and distributors it is a brilliant way to sell their product. I have a video from the 19…90’s with the same speech. His segment was like an SNL parody. Get THE REAL HAIR TRUTH and then you’ll GET IT!

Claudia Diesti  The Real Hair Truth was amazing! It covered so manythings that those in the industry and those just starting need to know and to understand in order for us to survive! I give a big thank you to joseph for standing up for this beautiful industry so that it is keep that way…Beautiful!

Phil Stone Powerful, innovative, inspirational, emotional. Thank you again for making a beautiful movie!

Albie Mulcahy Enjoyed the Film Joseph. Thank you for letting me sound off a little. Sometimes the Truth can be a little hard to take….Peace and good luck on the next one.

The Group Continues To Grow! Phil Stone Will Soon Bring You “Claudia”

~ Joseph Kellner

No ego’s, no stars, no attitudes that is how I describe the 2 full days we shot with Phil Stone, Claudia Diesti, Dan Diesti, Dan Cunningham, La’Niece, Matt Fienman, and myself. This was the start for Claudia’s DVD on haircoloring, haircutting, hairstyling, and a biography of herself and her beliefs. These 2 days were filled with the most remarkable, ambitious, giving professionals that could be put together in one room. So many different professionals were there to pull this off. And so much clowning around to the fullest extent, that I would love to do this again with the same exact group. This was Phil Stones first taping of an educational DVD series for his website REWIREDHAIR.COM.  And Dan Cunningham who filmed and edited the documentary THE REAL HAIR TRUTH took on this undertaking  with Matt Fienman who was also in charge of videography.  And Dan Diesti Claudia’s husband was the everything role. From food, to hair supplys, to makeup to wardrobe. Dan did it all. And for once I could kick back and just do makeup and I also helped with the photoshoot. Either way we did a little of everyone’s profession with the staff for the DVD. And learning was top on the agenda with this shoot.

Learning was on everyone’s mind the past two days with this shoot. Phil with Dan learning Videography, Myself learning from Claudia – Balayage, everyone had education on their minds. And getting the proper filming within this two-day event was close to 24 hours of filming, setting up the stage, supply runs, etc. But we all pulled together to shoot Claudia and get the best footage we could possibly get for her DVD.  All in all we all got the job done and there was a moment in time that I will always remember these two days of my career, That we all pulled together and did a positive for everyone, the Industry, Claudia, Phil, everyone. And to get that type of group together is sheer priceless. And all the time went so very fast I will truly remember this DREAM. Or maybe this wonderful moment.

Thank You Phil, Claudia, Dan, Daniel, Matt, La’Niece, and all the models.

Sell Outs!

Tell something new , Diversion was set up after the 1977 Federal Trade Act was passed Through the Congress. It means quite simply if you buy any product from a Manufacturer, Distributorship, you can resell the product, you own the product and that’s that! IT IS YOUR PROPERTY.  You bought it You OWN IT! Manufacturers set up contracts for the salon community to keep it in the salon. If the salon owner signs the contract, and sells it to a third-party, it is Diversion. Only to be  DEFINED IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE SIGNED CONTRACT. So that is how manufacturers gave birth to DIVERSION. To have an individual sign a contract and having the recipient not know about the Federal Trade Rights they sign them away. You sign the contract you give them up, (Federal Trade Rights of 1977). This is used as a camouflage for the Manufacturers, and also Distributors to sell to Diverters for them, sell what? THERE PRODUCTS. So since they now have an avenue to sell their products they will blame the diversion on the Salon Owner. Since you signed a CONTRACT! If you want to go into a beauty supply center and buy Matrix, Sebastian, Big Sexy Hair, etc and set up a website on the internet and sell these products. YOU CAN. It is not against the law, and when the manufacturers say it is, IT ISNT. When you sign a contract with a distributorship, from the Manufacturer and then you sell it on the internet, flea market, to a grocery store. That is when you broke the SIGNED CONTRACT with the  parties involved on the contract. THEN IT’S DIVERSION, and they will fine you, stop supplying you, and that is that. YOU SIGNED THE CONTRACT. Dont sign contracts.

A lot of manufacturers will find internet sites selling their product, and place law suits against them. And they will not win in court basically because the company who bought the product and is delivering them to the consumer, purchased them through a third-party. NOT AGAINST THE LAW AT ALL! So when a salon owner sell products outside their establishment and the manufacturers find out. THEY ARE SCREWED, Because they signed a contract. So then the manufacture will set up an investigation and stop selling to Little Suzy or Johnny, which will give them a kicking post in the salon community and blame the salon community for the Diversion. Mean while they will set up third-party connections, and ghost distributorships to sell their wares, (Products) to get it out to the commercial sector! And say “YOU THE SALON COMMUNITY HAVE SOLD IT!” You have just created camouflaged for them.

SIMPLE AS THAT!
