What is branding and why does it matter to your business? Your branding is your salon’s first impression to your audience and potential clients. Your salon’s personality should shine through every part of your branding making it clear to your audience who you are and what you stand for. This is just some of the neat stuff we will be diving into today, as I’m joined by branding expert for the health and wellness sector, Ollie Johns of Zero-Sugar Branding. Responsible for the branding behind some of the biggest names in the hair industry, I first got connected with Ollie after a previous episode with, Ben Lifton, who gave a shoutout to Ollie as the go-to branding guru. Always a subject I love to cover, I just had to bring Ollie onto todays show so we can learn all things when it comes to creating your branding identity. If it’s time for your business to get branded (or rebranded), then this podcast is the prefect listen for you.     A podcast produced by Hairy Media Productions  Thanks for Listening   Support the How To Cut It podcast by becoming a Patreon HERE   To share your thoughts: Leave a note in the comment section below.

A couple of months back I saw a Facebook post by a respected UK barber and a How To Cut It Patreon member, Paul Simmons. His post referred to our interview with Rino Ricco in Episode 192 and how some of the points we discussed in that talked of a misunderstanding to the barbering industry. So I had to invite Paul onto the podcast to get his viewpoints across. An advocate for everything British barbering is, Paul will passionately reveal why he get’s incensed by how many hairdressers do not understand the barbering industry. This podcast I’m confident will spark up heated conversations. We we also get to learn why Paul feels the industry is being infiltrated by imposters and fraudsters. He says, “It’s time for these imposters to pack up and go back to the careers they walked out of. 2021 will be the biggest year yet for the barbering industry, but also the one with the most turmoil. Barbershops will need to be more professional, get registered with some sort of governing body and start to pay tax, decent wages and charge for their services accordingly.” Starting his career as a barber in 1976 in a small barbershop in Wolverhampton, Paul has gone on to become owner of Simmons Barbershops and works as an ambassador for a leading scissor brand, along with working on shows around the world in his the former role as Artistic Director for Wahl GmbH (Germany). Having such a barber expert on the show, I had to also take up this opportunity to hear Paul’s take on the future direction of the barbering industry. We’re going to get all of this today, so take a coffee (or tea, or water) break and let’s chat.       A podcast produced by Hairy Media Productions  Thanks for Listening   Support the How To Cut It podcast by becoming a Patreon HERE   To share your thoughts: Leave a note in the comment section below.

Today we celebrate our 200th Episode and with such a milestone I had to bring you a very special guest for this one. Welcome Robert Lobetta, one of the most iconic and greatest names ever to come out of world hairdressing. To have Robert join me for this 200th episode caps a fantastic 4 years plus of bringing you the HTCI podcast. In his first interview for three and half years, I was humbled and honoured to have him share on our show not only his personal thoughts to the hair industry in 2021, but to have him talk openly on how his journey went from a rebel starting out in 1970’s London to going on to become the Internationally recognised icon in the hair and beauty industry who is much loved and respected around the globe by hairdressers of all ages. And if this wasn’t enough for you, we also get his vision for the hairdressing future. Robert self-confesses that he has never really considered himself as just a hairdresser, as for him hair was an art project. He never considered what he did was just hair, photography, film, or art, because he continually looked at Life as one big Art project. Something we get to hear all about today. This podcast is one that you can’t afford to miss as we are in the company of a hairdressing great! So what are we waiting for, headphones on and hit that play button.     A podcast produced by Hairy Media Productions  Thanks for Listening   Support the How To Cut It podcast by becoming a Patreon HERE   To share your thoughts: Leave a note in the comment section below.

Put quite simply, todays guest Tim Hartley is regarded as one of the world’s greatest hairdressers. After a 30 year career at Vidal Sassoon culminating in his renowned role as International Creative Director Tim left the corporate world to concentrate on his own stunning visions of hair design.  In this podcast today we will not only get to learn about Tim’s rich heritage in hairdressing that led him to this role at Vidal Sassoon, but how he sees the hair industry moving forward. For over 30 years he’s been inspiring generations of young hairdressers with his passionate approach to hair, cutting edge aesthetic and technical expertise. His rise to the stratosphere of international hair design has been a remarkable one starting in the city of Manchester in the late 1970s, one of the centres of avant-garde punk style and ending on a global stage. I feel it’s really important to observe and understand the stories behind our industries most iconic names as we learn not only of their wins, but of their struggles too. By developing your knowledge of the hairdressing history means developing your knowledge for a more fulfilling and successful career as we hurtle towards the new now in a post-covid world!

In this podcast today I will be sharing about the pathway a hairdressing career can give to hairdressing students. I believe it is essential that we help the next generation of hairdressers understand what is available to them, but also what they have to do to get there. By understanding this I truly believe anything is possible. What got me interested in a career in hairdressing was when I first went to Salon International back in 1984. The buzz I felt that day made want to become a hairdresser. 34 years later I’m still fully engaged and part of this amazing industry. Thats why I’m keen to share the many variations a hairdressing career give you, as I know that not only can it help get more younger people into hairdressing, but also keep those who a possibly on the verge of falling out of love with the industry by simply becoming more engaged again. You’ll hear about the wide variety of options available in a hairdressing that includes working in the salon as successful stylist, being a freelancer, entering competitions, working on stage, getting involved in the world of media ,and so much more. What I’ve provided in this podcast is the sort of information I wanted to hear when I was that 16 year old student going to my local hairdressing college on day release. I really hope it inspires many of the students that listen in to this today, and I encourage all training providers, lecturers and salon owners to get their students and trainees to listen in. It could make that difference on them staying in the industry or not by carving out a lifelong and happy career within the hair industry.       A podcast produced by Hairy Media Productions.   Thanks for Listening   Support the How To Cut It podcast by becoming a Patreon HERE   To share your thoughts: Leave a note in the comment section below.

As we fast approach our 200th episode it’s made me stop and reflect on how I’ve I got to where I am are today with How To Cut It. Today I’ll be sharing this with you. From recording our very first episode back in March 2017 followed by my interview with Tom Connell, I seriously could have never anticipated the journey I was about to embark on back then. Speaking and hosting at shows across Europe, an exclusive partnership deal with Wella Professionals, a rapidly growing community and now producing creative content for leading names are just a small sample to some of the brilliant things I’m now experiencing. And all became possible through the power of podcasting. From an everyday hairdresser working behind the chair 5 days a week in my boutique rural salon, the pathways that has opened up to me has been staggering. With all of this has seen my hairdressing career become more dynamic and varied. I love it, and you too can add this variation and success to your hairdressing career. Today I’ll be sharing how by discovering your uniqueness could pivot you in ways that you never knew was possible. Take a listen to hear how it’s happened for me, and how it can happen for you too, but only if you are prepared to work hard for it.     A podcast produced by Hairy Media Productions.   Thanks for Listening   Support the How To Cut It podcast by becoming a Patreon HERE   To share your thoughts: Leave a note in the comment section below.

Over the last year everything has changed for us all around the globe. As hair professionals being forced to stop working has given for many of us the chance to reflect on where we are at it within our lives and asking ourselves: have we found our life purpose? I know, a heavy question but as we head back to doing hairdressing again, I wonder if slowing down and stopping has turned your head to to the possibility of new opportunities, new goals, new journeys? Curious, I just had to ask this question to former guest of the show and leading international educator, the brilliantly talented, Ben Brown. When I last spoke to Ben in 2018, it was so exciting to learn about his first steps into becoming a hairdressing educator. Listening back to that podcast, it struck me that being an hair educator really gave Ben his life purpose of sharing both his love and expertise of cutting hair shapes. Fast forward two and half years and one pandemic later, where is Ben now at in his career and has his life purpose changed since we last spoke? Well, that’s what we will learn all about today. I hope after listening in to this great conversation with Ben will help you look at where you are going in not just your hairdressing career, but in your life too. In this most challenging of years it may just have given you the headspace to pivoting your life towards a completely new direction. I would love to know what that could be by dropping me a DM on my Instagram account @domlehane.

In this weeks HTCI podcast we welcome back owner of Cobella Salon and author of ‘The Mindful Hairdresser’ book, Jordanna Cobella. Jordanna will be sharing with us all today how this book empowers hairdressers, stylists, and salon owners to optimise the synergy between human connection and technical ability. The examples and proven methods of communication and cues she teaches allow the day-to-day lives of a hairdresser to run more smoothly, prevent burnout and drastically improve the service for clients. It is often said that hairdressers are the nation’s unofficial therapists and have historically been part of ‘confessional booths’. This unwritten responsibility can sometimes leave those in the industry feeling out of depth or overwhelmed. As creatives, we are constantly investing in various ways to improve our technical skills, but are we ignoring the part of the profession that comprises a huge part of the service? The emotional intelligence and psychology involved in the everyday life of serving the public is often overlooked and taken for granted. Serving the public in any capacity, especially in fashion and style, requires emotional intelligence, a good understanding of psychology, and non-verbal communication. The intimacy of changing the way someone looks, building rapport, and psychologically reading your clients is an unspoken skill we are expected to pick up along the way. This is the topic and skill we will addressing today.       A podcast produced by Hairy Media Productions.   Thanks for Listening   Support the How To Cut It podcast by becoming a Patreon HERE   To share your thoughts: Leave a note in the comment section below.

I love a great story of dedication, commitment and romance. Well this podcast today certainly ticks all of them boxes, as I’m sitting down for a conversation with husband and wife and hairdressing duo, Jack Mead and Lydia Wolfe. I only really got to know about Jack and Lydia over the last year through their growing presence on social media. But away from the high profile personas that they have created, is an incredible story that goes much deeper into this talented young couple. Through hard work and a passion for what they want out of life, they have gone about setting up their boutique hair salon ‘Jack and the Wolfe’ in a gorgeous coastal village in the South of England. Jack and Lydia will be revealing how they took the risk of setting up their salon business whilst still developing a blossoming new relationship, and all on a limited budget. It’s a great listen for all of you wanting some guidance on how opening a salon doesn’t have to take huge amounts of money. But you will need to ask yourself these two questions: What are you prepared to give up to making this happen? How emotionally ready are you for running your own business? I have so much respect for Jack and Lydia. Not only for all the industry accolades and determination they have, but more for simply being a lovely humble couple who are carving out the best future they can, for both them and their daughter.     A podcast produced by Hairy Media Productions.   Thanks for Listening   Support the How To Cut It podcast by becoming a Patreon HERE   To share your thoughts: Leave a note in the comment section below.

Todays podcast tells the powerful story of hairdresser who’s struggles with dyslexia and ADHD has not stopped them from becoming one of the UK’s most dynamic and show stopping hair performers. But it could have all been so different. Low self-esteem, behaviour problems, learning and frustration was just some of the battles todays guest, Dean Bradwell, has had to face in life as a Dyslexic. Difficulties in reading and writing could have stopped Dean from reaching his full potential. No chance! Three times finalist in the North East British Hairdressing Awards, finalist in the Alternative Hair Awards and working for product companies throughout America and Europe, hairdressing has allowed him to express his rebellious and outside the box thinking to achieving a successful pathway in his hairdressing career. But it hasn’t – or does it continue to be easy, for this hair maverick. Dyslexics are often very creative individuals. This is because they are often trying to find other ways to solve problems, learn things differently, or make things easier, giving them the capability to be groundbreaking innovators. Something that Dean has bags of! What a love most in this story is Dean sharing how the teachings of hairdressing didn’t always make sense … Until now!   For this weeks Xtra Show podcast with Dean Bradwell click HERE       A podcast produced by Hairy Media Productions.   Thanks for Listening   Support the How To Cut It podcast by becoming a Patreon HERE   To share your thoughts: Leave a note in the comment section below.

Linked to many causes, hair loss can be deeply upsetting. Understanding and dealing with clients suffering hair loss needs to be done professionally and with sensitivity. That’s exactly what our special guests, Zoe Irwin and Mark Blake, will help us learn more about today. We owe it to ourselves, businesses and clients to tune into this episode. It will take us deeper into why being more knowledgeable on hair loss will be critical post-COVID-19. With lots of reports in the press linking COVID-19 to hair loss, do we know of any proof that connect the two? Leading globally recognised trichologist and NIOXIN Ambassador, Mark Blake, says this pandemic has had a major impact on hair loss. However, it is not just those who have had COVID-19 who will be suffering from hair loss, for many people the past year has been incredibly stressful, and stress and hair loss are intricately connected. Being an all-round hair professional, hair loss is a conversation that we all need to have. But let’s get honest here! The topic of hair loss is very easy to get lost in such a creative industry that we all work. Also throw into the mix the understanding the science behind it, has many of us running for the hills in fear. But fear not! NIOXIN Editorial Ambassador and one of the hairdressing most inspirational figureheads, Zoe Irwin, says, “Don’t try and be too medical when it comes to talking about hair loss to your clients. Use language clients really understand!” And being able to offer Nioxin, the world’s number one¹ Global Selling Salon Brand for thicker, fuller² hair, gives you the comfort in knowing that you have the solutions at your disposable when it comes to dealing with hair loss many of our clients will be suffering post–COVID-19.

Today’s title ‘Hairdressing Saved my Life’ sounds dramatic. For sure! But that’s what hairdressing literally did for todays guest, Daniel Granger. Sometimes the most beautiful people are beautifully broken. A successful salon owner of Daniel Granger Hairdressing, hairdresser of TV’s ‘Body Fixers’, global educator, Schwarzkopf Ambassador, motivational speaker and blessed with Hollywood good looks, Daniel has it all. But behind all of this is an emotional and powerful story to Daniels life. Something we’re truly honoured for him to share with us all in his own words today. It’s a gripping and open podcast, revealing so many of Daniel’s most personal and darkest moments that has shaped him to become the person that he now is. After his father passed, at the age of fourteen, Daniel tells of how he was given a pair of clippers, with the intention of saving money by cutting hair from home. This gave him his life purpose, and so much more than he could have ever realised back then. When life gives you so many reasons to breakdown and lose hope, Daniel is proof that there a so many reasons to stay strong. Let go of what was and have faith in what the universe will bring you. This is the faith Daniel takes into his life.

I’m always excited to learn of new concepts and ideas for our hair industry. So for todays podcast we’re about to learn why HAIRDOTCOM Art Team has been described as the new era of Artistic Teams, that’s changing the face of the hairdressing industry by bringing us the first ever collective Art Team. The brainchild of former guest of the show Ashleigh Hodges and Craig Chapman, HAIRDOTCOM Art Team brings together a collaboration of talented hairdressers from across the globe. In this conversation we learn about this unique Art Team and how no matter what salon or brand it’s collective members work for, they each come together to collaborate on everything from working backstage on a TV show, advertising campaigns or with celebrities at the major awards, to the creation of editorial haircuts, the perfect balayage or delivering a brand’s education programme. The HAIRDOTCOM Art Team consists of leading hairdressers, stylists, photographers and well-being experts.. With the rise of online education, the HAIRDOTCOM Art Team has recently launched HAIRDOTCOM at Home, that brings essential hairdressing education to salons stuck in lockdown. I’m keen to find out more on this, too. What I love most about the HAIRDOTCOM Art Team is it’s ethos of bringing the industry together and showing the true power of collaboration. Take a listen to hear why.     A podcast produced by Hairy Media Productions.   Thanks for Listening   Support the How To Cut It podcast by becoming a Patreon HERE   To share your thoughts: Leave a note in the comment section below.
