How To Cut It in the Hairdressing Industry Hairy Media Productions

For this episode of the How To Cut It podcast we are exploring the captivating world of curiosity, creativity, and collaboration with leading makeup artist designer, Lan Nguyen-Grealis.



Lan is a celebrity, beauty fashion, and multi-award-winning makeup designer. She is the author of "Art & Makeup" and "ProMakeup Design Books" and has made appearances as a guest judge on the successful BBC Series of Glow Up. Lan regularly collaborates on many shows at London Fashion Week, leading a team of exceptional makeup assistants whom she dedicates her time to mentor.



Lan's journey is one of self-teaching, trial and error, and valuable experience. She understands the challenges of not having access to assisting early on, which led her to start her own education platform to find and mentor her own team of talented assistants.

We are also going to discover how collaboration between hairdressers and makeup artists can take creative projects such as photo shoots and shows to new heights.



So listen today to Lan's incredible wisdom, experiences, and creative flair. Press play!

In March 2020 the world stopped…….that’s when todays guest lost everything! We are in for an extraordinary podcast episode today with Paul Davies.



Paul has been a salon owner, educator and session stylist in a career that spans over 35 years. From simple beginnings at a local College of Further Education to London Fashion Week and an award winning Clarins Gold Salon.



In this episode, Paul takes us on a journey filled with triumph, loss, and the inspiring process of reinvention.



From his humble beginnings in the North East, Paul defied societal expectations and pursued his passion for hairdressing. We explore his path as a salon owner, the financial challenges, and the growth of his team. But just when success seemed within reach, a  brain haemorrhage forced him to face a new reality.



The COVID-19 pandemic brought yet another wave of change, and Paul shares how he adapted during the lockdown, investing in personal and professional growth. However, the industry transformed, and he made the difficult decision to close his thriving five floor salon business. Now, as a freelancer, Paul is embracing a new chapter in his career, driven by a love for the industry and a desire to support others.



In this captivating episode, Paul's candid storytelling and unique perspective offer valuable insights for entrepreneurs and anyone facing adversity. Join us as we explore his remarkable journey, filled with triumphs, setbacks, and the unwavering spirit of reinvention.



Get ready to be inspired and gain practical wisdom to navigate your own challenges and pursue your dreams.

A podcast episode sponsored by YUV



The most game-changing addition to the salon since the hairdryer, introducing YUV.



Big claim, eh?



Well in this latest episode of our brand new four part collaborative podcast series with YUV, I'm excited to be invited to discuss a revolutionary new colour system for the hair industry thats never been seen before.



I'm to be joined by Marketing Manager for YUV, Rachel Lee, and Zoey Olechnowicz who serves as Senior Colour Educator at YUV, where we'll be exploring what YUV is and what it can offer salons and freelancers, including how the YUV colour lab can dispense millions of colour shade tones and how it looks and works. We'll also discuss the range of colours that YUV can create, and why the hair industry needs a system like YUV.



One of the most exciting aspects of YUV is its sustainable closed loop system, which we'll delve into and explain how it works. We'll also explore how many colour canisters a salon needs to hold using yuv and the colour ingredients used in YUV.



We'll also dive into the performance of the products, and how YUV eliminates the need for shade charts by allowing you to create your own custom colour shade palettes.



Another key benefit of YUV is its ability to remove colour wastage, and we'll hear from Rachel and Zoey on how this will be achieved. And what about the cost of YUV and what you get for your investment? We cover that, too!



This is a big listen! Enjoy!

In this episode of the HTCI podcast, I'm thrilled to have Sarah Keane, aka SLK Bleach Expert, join us to discuss all things scalp bleaching.



As the only UK-based educator whose sole focus is scalp bleaching, Sarah is a wealth of knowledge on the topic. In our conversation, we explore the common fears and myths surrounding scalp bleaching, the lack of education on the topic for many hairdressers, and Sarah's own journey to becoming a scalp bleach specialist.



Sarah emphasises the importance of knowledge and education in overcoming the fear associated with scalp bleaching. "Once you have the knowledge behind why you would do it a specific way/how to assess suitability, etc., the skill will naturally improve, lessening the fear," she explains. Building confidence with the service is crucial, and the more knowledge hairdressers have, the better their understanding, leading to better results.



Sarah's approach to teaching has helped hairdressers with over 20 years of experience who had never done a scalp bleach before. Now, they are building up a return clientele.



As Sarah likes to say, "practice means progress."With the right knowledge and practice, stylists can improve their scalp bleaching skills and provide excellent service to their clients. The results that Sarah's students achieve are a true testament to this. It's a fascinating conversation that any hairdresser looking to expand their knowledge on scalp bleaching won't want to miss.



Its a perfect listen for all hair colourists! Let's dive in!
