Greg Gilmore: The Hair Industry Isn’t What It Used to Be

In this episode, I am joined by Greg Gilmore, colorist, educator, and brand ambassador for Moroccan Oil, for an honest, thought-provoking conversation about the current state of the hair industry. We talk about the growing disconnect between brands and professional stylists, why hair care is making a comeback, the role of social media in shaping fundamentals, and what’s being lost as salon culture continues to shift. Greg also shares his perspective on relaxers returning, education turning into content, pricing versus experience, and what true legacy in this industry really means. This episode is a must-watch for stylists who care about longevity, integrity, and the future of the profession.✨ Greg Gilmore – Master colorist, educator & brand ambassador for Moroccan Oil – Based in Atlanta, GAIG: @greg_gilmoreTikTok: @thegtouchYouTube: Greg Gilmore ArtistryWebsite: www.modernhairitage.com✅ Subscribe for more conversations with the voices reshaping the beauty industry.Click Here For More Info: https://linktr.ee/TrendywithKimAllison– Listen on Spotify, Apple, and all podcast platforms.– Follow @trendywkimallison on Instagram and TikTok.TIME STAMPS:00:00 – Intro00:15 – Meet Greg Gilmore01:16 – What the industry is getting wrong04:00 – Brands vs professional stylists07:30 – Why clients still need experts10:00 – Hair care, texture & relaxers returning13:00 – Say It With Your Chest13:05 – Skills vs branding16:00 – Pricing, luxury & value19:00 – Social media & lost fundamentals24:00 – Black hair culture & representation31:30 – Education vs content35:30 – Longevity vs relevance38:00 – Is the industry chaotic?48:00 – What salon culture has lost54:00 – Greg’s legacy & purpose01:02:15 – Booked or Bounced01:05:15 – What’s next for Greg01:06:25 – Closing/Where to find Greg01:06:55 – OutroSubscribe to stay in the know.
