She\/he has spent a considerable portion of their life learning more about what they do than you\u2019ll ever need or want to know. You trust them.\nThe same holds true for graphic artists, marketers, public relations practitioners, lawyers, arborists, stylists, colorists, embalmers, and entomologists.\nAnything that can be done, there are people that specialize in it, they\u2019re experts. Reach out and listen to them. If you\u2019re a kick-ass stylist, colorist, or salon owner, there\u2019s a good chance you didn\u2019t have the opportunity to specialize in every other professional realm that exists.\nHowever, don\u2019t soak in all this information blindly. Question it. Question everything you hear and see. The only way we have to move forward is by questioning how things are currently being done. There is a lot to be learned from the experts, we can\u2019t exist without them\u2026but there is always more to learn and new ways to do things.\nWithout questioning the experts, life would be very different. Our lives would include bloodletting, lobotomies, fear of sailing off the end of the Earth, believing box color works like a visit to the salon, and thinking that stylists are just people that cut hair.\nRealize where your weaknesses are, reach out to the experts, and then pause and reflect long enough to make sure you don\u2019t see a better way. Question things enough to know if the accepted method is what works best for you, or if maybe some adjustments are needed.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":323,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[575,579,746],"class_list":["post-322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-salon-advertising","tag-salon-marketing","tag-zane-hagy"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Perm2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
