Hairdustry launched Your Day Off Podcast to help share salon industry success stories that will inspire and educate every one of us. Whether you’re fresh out of school, 20 years in, or never set two feet behind the chair, there is something for everyone. They have quickly grown to over 225,000 listens and invite you to subscribe for free.

As founders and co-hosts, Corey Gray and Tony Stuart are very proud of their unique industry, while still working behind the chair with their own clients. They were first creatively inspired by podcasts from other industries. They want to help us all share in everyone’s personal career story through tips, challenges and honors. All newly recorded Your Day Off Podcasts will remain available as an educational resource for you to conveniently listen to from their new and ever-growing YDO Podcast Library.

Tony and Corey have a 30+ year friendship. From high school to cosmetology school, they have been career and personal friends for many years. They both graduated from the Graham Webb Academy in Washington, DC, studying under Gerard Kiernan as their first mentor. They also worked with Reggie Laws of the PR & Partners Salons chain as designers and educators. Katie May is a YDO Producer with 12 years of salon industry experience. Corey and Katie worked together in a multi-million dollar salon in Bethesda for 7 years before joining Tony at Symmetry Salon studios and suites. Gabriel Urbina has been a successful hair designer for 5 years, with previous experiences from the Department of Energy Law Enforcement. He is the YDO Social Media Producer.

Your Day Off Podcasts is now offering sponsorship opportunities for manufacturers, associations, distributors and salon industry education companies to help support their growing library with salon industry celebrities, educators and everyone with a story to share, while helping others succeed.
