Using Ai in your business

Stephanie Stevenson previously had a salon in Sandbanks, UK, and has been in the industry for decades. She has been behind the chair for over 27 years, and has more recently expanded into tech.

During COVID, when she was unable to work, she became a mentor for the ABM, the association of British Mentors. She helped to support a tech start up company, and worked with them to help them grow.

She shares how the salon industry has many complexities, and platforms need to be created with salon life in mind, rather than trying to force a bolt- on onto existing software retrospectively.

Stephanie has created salon intelligence specifically to support salon businesses.

Are our modern day lives causing hair loss?

Jasmine Whitaker has a background in hairdressing, and she began to see a lot of clients with different issues, such as hair loss, or asking for added hair. This led to her studying in hair loss and training in cranial prosthetics.

Jasmine shares how more & more people are visiting salons with problems with their hair and scalp, and we are going to continue to see clients with more complex needs.

Cranial prosthetics are a medical hair replacement unit, which are custom made to fit each client.

She also helps clients to navigate the financial side of hair replacement, such as costings, and applying for insurance claims.

We discuss the viability of different units and base types, and how certain wigs can be considered DME.

Diagnose first, treat second ~ Dealing with multiple patient concerns.

Shara Thredgold has a background in hair. She began her hairdressing career after high school. She had also had scalp issues herself, and then found out about the profession of trichology.

Shara has really enjoyed studying trichology, and the expert help she can now offer her patients. She is constantly learning, and has studied her fellowship with the International Association of Trichologists.

We look at how patients will often come to the clinic with more than one issue and are not aware that they can have more than one condition at the same time.

Share explains why it is best to get specialist advice, and always get a thorough diagnosis before looking into any treatment.

LED and Laser ~ What's the difference?

LED and Laser ~ What's the difference?

Adam is from Leeds, he is now in his 40s, and has experienced Male Pattern hair loss since his 20s. After his wife began to notice changes in her hair too, they started to look for options.

He went to visit a hair loss clinic, where they introduced him to low level light therapy. The treatments proved to be very time consuming, expensive and difficult to fit sessions into day-to-day life.

They liked the idea of laser and the scientific evidence behind it, and decided to create their own laser device, a convenient, good looking baseball cap design which has 272 diodes.

Laser can penetrate through the layers of the scalp, right to the hair follicle and stimulate growth, prolonging the length of the hair follicle growth cycle.

Living with alopecia without a support system

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 06:00:00 +0100

Living with alopecia without a support system

Rachel Hannah is 47, and she lives in Philadelphia. She describes herself as a very empathetic person, who does not like to see anyone in pain or suffering.

She has had various health issues, and she has now been experiencing alopecia since 2023.

She was a model as a child, and has always been judged on her looks, even by her own family. She then became an aesthetician who works with skin, and says that this is an industry where you are also judged on how you look and your appearance by clients and peers.

She has been diagnosed with Female pattern hair loss and Teogen effluvium after visiting three dermatologists to get answers and a suitable treatment plan. She has had to advocate for herself and do a lot of research. She sill feels like she has no idea what will happen regarding her hair loss going forward.

Rachel states that although her family were sympathetic at first, they soon lost patience with her and have made it clear that they think she should have got over it by now, put a wig on, and got on with her life. her relationship with certain family members is conditional, and the relationships have broken down over this. Losing her hair has caused tension between her and her family, and left her with no support network or help.

After times where she has really struggled with her hair loss, she feels completely alone and has noone to support her. She has had to seek help and community online with others who have had hair loss and understand her better.

After struggling with surgeries, illness and addictions, she still describes her hair loss as being the worst thing that has ever happened to her.

Jak Inhibitors update for alopecia areata

Jak Inhibitors update for alopecia areata

Tommy Hall is originally from Maine, near Boston, but now lives in London.

He first came on the podcast in February 2023, after experiencing alopecia areata, which evolved into universalis, and lost all of the hair on his entire body. He began using JAK inhibitors to treat his condition, which were not approved on the NHS at the time to treat hair loss.

He joins me today with an update on his progress, sharing that he has now tried three different types of JAK inhibitor, the challenges that have come with this, and even the clinical trial he is now participating in.

Tommy says that he has come to terms with his hair loss, and how this experience has forced him to challenge what he felt about himself, his identity and his relationship with how he looks.

He has seen great success in the last 18 months, with his SALT score going from 100 to 7!

Looking for joy ~ How being intentional can help you with your skin & haircare routine.

Michelle Doan is an immigrant, born in Vietnam, she fled the country with her family after the fall of Saigon, and ended up in Thailand. She settled in Canada at ten years old, and was only the second Asian family in the whole school. She couldn't speak English and found it diffucult. As a teen she developed cystic acne, and shares that she felt very ugly and like she didn't fit in. This led to her feeling isolated, until she found an aesthetician that could give her help and advice on managing her skin.

Later on she was going through a divorce, sleeping on someone's sofa and trying to build a business. She ended up with depression, but was in denial. She then found that during COVID, her business dropped and everything changed.

Michelle shares how she didn't feel confident or beautiful growing up, and Emani was created from frustration. She was able to create products that helped to meet her own needs as she navigated hormonal changes and sensitive skin.

She began to curate her thoughts, and these days, her positive mindset and habits is key to her success. She beleives in building welness from within aswell as the outside.

We discuss how, as a business, transparency and building trust is key.

Your skin is a living biochemical organ

Benjamin Knight Fuchs has 40 years as a pharmacist, nutritionist & skincare chemist. He has experience running a compound pharmacy for people who suffered burns & wounds.

Ben states that the missing link in the beauty industry is healing. He says that although skin looks inert, it is a complex, responsive structure, referred to as the 'third brain'.

He approaches skincare from a health perspective, rather than a cosmetic or topical perspective. His focus is on the skin cells, rather than the skin in general.

We discuss how gut health & skin & scalp health are all related, and the essential nutrients needed.

From breast cancer surgeon to patient ~ dealing with cancer from both sides

Liz O'Riordan grew up in a medical family, and always knew she wanted to become a surgeon. She specialised in breast surgery and has a PHD in thyroid cancers and how they develop.

As a female in a male dominated field she has faced bullying and sexual harassment and had a very stressful, high pressured job.

She has been a surgeon for over 15 years, and has performed thousands of surgeries. She had lots of knowledge on treating cancer, but when she was diagnosed herself at 40, she found dealing with cancer from the patient's perspective very different.

We discuss her own journey, and her hair loss, and how she has learned to embrace her new identity. Liz describes how there can often be an element of reinvention after cancer treatment.

Using probiotics in scalp care

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 06:00:00 +0100

Using probiotics in scalp care

Arielle Hobdy founded Bea's Bayou to create products to support & nourish her skin rather than to force or 'fix' things.

Arielle has seborrheic dermatitis and was looking for a better solution for someone living with a chronic skin sensitivity. She began formulating products that focus on calming, regulating & respecting the skin's natural learning and recovery process.

She has created probiotic- forward care for sensitive skin & scalp, and eczema-prone systems, after looking at the types of ingredients, quantities and combinations.

Her brand is about emotional relief, confidence and breaking the cycle of fighting our bodies. Arielle was inspired by her Grandmother's natural approach to cooking & treatments in the bayou.

Taking a multi-faceted long term approach to treating hair loss

Maik Van Den Berg is an engineer from the Netherlands, who has been experiencing hair loss since just 22 years old.

He was diagnosed with male pattern hair loss, and was offered treatment with medication, which he suffered severe side effects from. This led him to stop using it and started to explore alternative options.

Maik describes the side effects he experienced, and how they can gradually creep up on you. He also shares how losing his hair began to have an impact on his self esteem and confidence.

He tried lots of products and began to find a combination of things that worked for him. He then developed Neofollics, as he wanted something that was effective but gentle enough to use long term, balancing efficacy with being user friendly.

We discuss what can influence the quality of the hair, the chain of cause and effect, and how the concentration and amount of active ingredients can help the potency of any products or treatments.

How advances in science can improve hair recovery in chemotherapy

How advances in science can improve hair recovery in chemotherapy

Dr Nik Georgopoulos is a highly experienced scientist, cell biologist & molecular biologist. He has a degree in biochemistry & genetics from Leeds University & a PHD.

Dr Georgopoulis has studied viruses and how they cause cancer. He looks at what happens when things go wrong. As cancer can affect 1 in 2 people, he looks to try to understand how cancer happens.

Nik describes cancer as like a wound that will not stop healing. We discuss the effect that chemotherapy treatment has on the rapidly proliferating cells of the body, including the hair follicles.

Scalp cooling can prevent the chemotherapy drugs from entering the keratinocytes, and the hair matrix. Cold cap can help to eliminate the risk of permanent alopecia (PCIA) with certain treatments.

Nik has been involved in the development of anti-oxidants that utilises nanotechnology, which can be applied to increase the effectiveness of scalp cooling and help to support the hair during treatment.

We discuss how reducing the stigma around these behaviours can help to raise awareness and reduce feelings of shame.

In sharing her own stories of the good, the bad & the ugly encounters she has faced, we also look at how we can support people and ensure that they can have a positive experience, and how having a negative experience can be life changing for some, just as a good one can be.

Trend Predictions ~ What to expect for 2026

Trend Predictions ~ What to expect for 2026

Callum the 'Hair King' has always been very creative, used to dress up in childhood and wear wigs. He began working in a salon and loved it.

He was sent on a curly hair course and really enjoyed it, and specialises in curls.

Callum believes further education and keeping up to date with the latest trends & techniques is really important. We discuss why it's important to be able to meet the needs of your community and be able to service all of your clients.

Keeping up to date is key, and looking to the future helps to elevate your work, looking at trend predictions and what will come next helps you to keep ahead of the game and be prepared for what clients will come and ask for in the future.

Callum shares the big trends that are emerging for the year ahead, including 'glossing' treatments, clients will be looking for their hair to be super shiny, the latest colour trends and pantones, and the potential problems this could cause for clients and stylists.

We look at why consumer education and critical thinking are key going forward, and the importance of seeking advice from qualified professionals, rather than influencers or tiktok trends.

Scalp care will also be a big focus in 2026, and so we need to make sure clients are getting safe and accurate information.

Margaret Zakhary is a surgical PA, licensed in 9 US states.

She has a family history of hair loss, with her Mum first experiencing hair loss at 16 years old, when she suffered permanent scarring from chemical damage. She tried wearing a wig for hair loss, but it looked terrible!

Later on, when she was only 33, she became very ill, and Margaret, being just ten, began experiencing hair loss herself, and since has had several forms of hair loss throughout her life.

She believes in turning tragedy into purpose, and shares how these events inspired her to study hair loss, to ensure that every patient has an advocate, and that they can get the care they need.

IBD & Hair loss ~ are they connected?

Anna Mitchell is a Trichologist with a clinic in Hastings.

Her sister was born when she was 7 years old, and she had two different types of alopecia; this meant, as a child, numerous visits to the doctor, and to a trichologist, who was very nice and helpful at the time. This meant that Anna was introduced to the industry at a very young age.

She has always been a curious person, wanting to know why things are happening, and how they manifest.

Anna herself suffers from Inflammatory bowel disease, and she shares how she is one of 1/2 a million with the condition. She uncovers the large variety of symptoms, and describes this as an invisible illness, due to the fact that it isn't spoken about openly.

She shares her knowledge on the autoimmune condition, along with her own personal experience, and explains how this can have an impact on hair health.

A consultant trichologist with a hairdressing background, she has an NVQ in customer service, and she opened her first salon at just 24.

Having seen so many clients over the years who suffered with issues or anxiety over their hair, she realised she didn't have the knowledge to help them. She considered studying trichology, but thought it was too late in life to retrain!

After meeting a trichologist on a meche integration systems course, it spurred her on to study with the Institute of Trichologists in London.

Her salon & clinic allows anxious clients to have a safe space where everyone understands what they are experiencing.

Epigenetics & Hair loss ~ Building a timeline of investigation

Bissan Debsi believes in working to support long term hair health.

She worked at Stanford Uni as a research assistant looking into Alzheimer's. PRP was just coming into practice at this time, and she began to take an interest in hair growth. She then worked with a hair transplant surgeon in Dubai, and later California.

She wanted to look more into the root cause of hair loss and address the hair loss itself, so she studied trichology with the IAHM.

She wanted to look for more solutions within, so she studied Functional medicine, which she integrates into her practice. She also uses bioscan technology & epigenetics to help with her diagnoses.

Bissan also shares her knowledge on biofilm on the scalp, and gives us her tips for healthy hair in winter!

Keeping up to date in the world of hair loss W/ Dr Jeff Donovan

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 06:00:00 +0100

Keeping up to date in the world of hair loss

Who better to finish this season but the legendary Dr Jeff Donovan!

Dr Donovan is from British Colombia in Canada. During his training, he became fascinated by the number of skin disorders there are, and wanted to specialise in this. With over 2,000 types of skin disease, he enjoys the diagnostic skills that go into investigating these!

He loves to help people get back to 'normal', and we discuss how hair loss can often take something away from a person.

We explore how to best keep up to date with the ever evolving field of trichology, current literature and studies. Dr Donovan also shares how laboratory investigations differ in different regions, and why this might be.

I also discover the benefits of looking for updates in other fields, when the discussion turns to how some medications can be harmful to pets.

Medical Hairloss treatments ~ Are the side effects worth it?

Dr Ademir Leite Jr has been involved in lots of research into finasteride. He runs a clinic & Trichology school in Brazil.

Originally, when Dr Ademir began studying medicine, he had planned to study immunology, but once he discovered the field of trichology, he changed his mind.

He has suffered hair loss himself, as well as scalp concerns.

We discuss which types of alopecia he sees the most at the moment, and which treatments are effective.

Dr Ademir shares how finasteride works, and we look at the side effects of DHT blockers & 5 a reductase inhibitors, including post finasteride syndrome. He describes how, as a medical professional, he has a responsibility to consider all benefits and down sides when recommending any treatment.

We also discuss natural solutions, if they are effective, and how multi- modal treatments may have more benefits and fewer side effects.

GLP1 medications ~ Does losing weight mean losing your hair?

Rabiya is 49 years old, she is a wife and mother living in Kent, who has lived in many different countries throughout her life.

After not feeling well, she had some tests and her blood pressure and cholesterol were raised, and she was told she was also diabetic. She says she had slowly put on weight over the years, and at the time was 75kg and only 5" tall, with swelling in her hands & ankles.

Her Doctor had advised her to focus on changing her diet and lifestyle, but she knew that she couldn't do it without help. She knows a couple of endocrinologists, and they helped to advise her. She decided to go private, and was prescribed a GLP1 known as Monjuaro.

Rabiya reduced her calories to a deficit, and began a low dose following a plan over an 18 month timeframe. She says that the medication removed her bloating, and the 'food noise', so that she could focus on losing weight and getting healthy. She lost 24kg in 6 months.

Unfortunately, this also led to her experiencing a large amount of hair shedding. Due to this she sought help from a trichologist, and began to focus not just on cutting calories, but on the nutritional value of her food too.

She has now seen a huge improvement in her hair health, as well as her overall health and vitality. She shares her story openly and honestly!

The future of your hair ~ Ensuring transplants succeed in the long term

Dr Dilan Fernando is a medical Doctor & surgeon, who originally planned to practice neurosurgery, however he then gained an interest in hair transplantation, and he has been performing hair transplants now for ten years!

He is Co founder of The Treatment Rooms London, where they offer specialised services, including feminising hairlines for transgender patients, and repairing what he calls 'black market' hair transplant work.

We explore how hair transplants can help reduce gender dysphoria, which can be a barrier to men when transitioning to a woman, and how to take a sensitive approach to the surgery.

Dr Fernando also shares the importance of patience and preparation when it comes to hair transplants, having a roadmap of treatment from pre-treatment to recovery, to ensure the patient gets the best from their hair, and the longer-term considerations.

We hear about the negative side of some clinics, and the practices that lead to poor results and long term issues!

Why Trichology needs to be integrated into hair systems training

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 06:00:00 +0100

Why Trichology needs to be integrated into hair systems training

Jess has been in the hair industry for many years, along with her business partner, Hayley, who has educated all around the world with Raccoon, and they both have experience with hair extensions.

Whilst trying to meet their clients' needs, they soon recognised that those with hair loss wanted to have hair extensions, but they just weren't suitable. They began to research alternative solutions, and learned different hair systems methods.

Jess joins me today to introduce a new type of system, called signature scalp. This is a silicone based scalp replica system, secured with medical grade adhesive.

They wanted to be able to offer a solution that could incorporate their creative flair, and be able to add a hairdresser's perspective to their hair systems. These systems can be made to suit any colour or style.

We talk about the longevity and versatility of having a hair system, what they can offer, and why it's important to have the education to ensure that each client is a suitable candidate for this service.

Signature scalp offers education, and already have a US ambassador, along with 80 representatives from around the world.

Can lasers help to combat hair loss?

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 06:00:00 +0100

https://www.theradomeforhairloss.co.uk/product/theradome-lh80-pro/ref/123/

Can lasers help to combat hair loss?

Tamim Hamid comes from a long line of medicine, but chose to enter the engineering world. However, he still had the instinct to want to help people.

Tamim was a NASA engineer, who invented a laser to measure thermoprotection of the shuttles outer shell upon re-entry to the Earth.

Lasers were invented in the 60's, and he learned about them in school in the 80's.

He then invented a new laser in silicon valley. He found a study on lasers & hair growth, which was recorded in 1965 and tested on mice, which showed that a certain frequency could stimulate hair to grow.

Lasers work differently depending on the setting and the frequency. Laser light can stimulate human tissue, specifically hair follicles, and it triggers the mitochondria in the bulge of the hair root. This can extend the anagen phase and stimulate growth in the papilla, along with strengthening the arrector pili muscle.

Tamim has now invented the Theradome helmet, which is FDA cleared.

Improving hair quality ~ How can we get the most out of supplements?

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 06:00:00 +0100

Improving hair quality ~ How can we get the most out of supplements?

Dr Rajesh (Rajendrasingh) Rajput is an international speaker, & IAT faculty member.

He often completes surgery pro bono for those who have suffered burns, cleft palate, leprosy and skin traumas.

He has researched metabolism in the hair follicle, and monitored changes in hair growth, DHT levels and sensitivity.

Dr Rajesh has a patented cyclical supplementation routine, which has shown an improvement in hair growth of 30-40% +, along with an improvement in scalp and follicle health.

He shares his research on which vitamins can counteract each other, which are synergistic and which are antagonistic, and how intermittent nutrition can give the body time to absorb & process each nutrient.

Dr Rajesh believes that no nutrient can work alone, and that deficiencies are an indication of a problem within the whole system. We look at how smaller, preventative doses can work differently to larger doses used to treat deficiencies. We explore the concept of 'hidden hunger' due to the fact that there is a depleted level of nutrition in our current foods compared to years ago.

Enhancing hair ~ How to avoid damage with hair extensions

Katy Grimshaw from Spectrum One began working in a salon at just 12 years old.

She now has her own salon with 16 stylists, and has set up her own brand of hair extensions, available to those in the industry, along with her own education.

Katy shares that around 70% of her salon's business is hair extensions, and she set up her own hair extensions business after being frustrated with the inconsistency of the quality of the hair from other brands. She wanted to make sure the quality of the hair was reliable.

She constantly works with her client base to support & evolve what they offer, along with their education, which is HABIA accredited.

We talk about how to make sure you choose the right method for you, and prevent damage to your own hair.

Embracing your identity and heritage ~ Building a positive relationship with your hair type

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 06:00:00 +0100

Embracing your identity and heritage ~ Building a positive relationship with your hair type

Jessica Parrish founded her brand, Shedid & Parrish, to make curly hair easy and a joy to look after.

Jessica is adopted and mixed race, so she gives her unique perspective on identity & why it's so important to who we are. Adopted to white parents in the 1970s at 10 days old, she had some challenges as a child in her environment.

There was noone to help her manage & understand her curly big hair. In her later years, she spent time in the U.S, where she found a lot more products for afro/ textured hair, but they were marketed based on skin tones, not hair types, and a lot of the products had toxic chemicals in.

She wanted to make things easier and more accessible for those with textured or curly hair with products ingredients that are good for the health of the haior, not just cosmetic.'

Buying a hair piece ~ Everything you need to know

Georgina Probert has female pattern alopecia, having had thinning hair since her teen years. She experienced Telogen Effluvium after the births of both her children, and her density has never returned. She began wearing toppers 9 years ago, and now offers consultations and fittings for hair toppers and wigs. She thinks it's important to try on lots of different types of wig to make sure you choose the best one for you.

We talk about cap sizes, how to measure and get a good fit, how to know if you are buying a legitimate brand and hair type, and that you are not being taken advantage of.

Georgina shares how she has even had customers who have been sold wigs as human hair, which have turned out not to be.

We also look at Remy hair- what is it? What is the difference? Why should you know where your hair is sourced and has the hair come from multiple sources?

Georgina also shares her tips on how & where you should get your hairpiece cut or coloured, and how to plan for if it goes wrong!

Talking to children about hair loss and cancer

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 06:00:00 +0100

Talking to children about hair loss and cancer

Lauren MacClain was diagnosed with breast cancer at 40, when her children were from 5-10 years old. Her and her husband wanted to find the best way to speak to their children about what would happen during her treatment, and found that the books that were available didn't quite explain different areas of treatment very well.

Lauren had to wait over the xmas period to get her biopsy results, which was a scary time. After having a mastectomy, they found that it had spread to one of her lymph nodes which meant she needed to have chemotherapy.

Lauren found out about scalp cooling whilst she was researching treatments and decided to try it, as she had been warned that the chemo she needed was very dose-dense and can cause permanent hair loss (PCIA). Because of this, she managed to retain around 50% of her hair, and it grew back quickly afterwards.

She has now written 3 children's books explaining cold caps and chemotherapy treatment, to help families explain to their children what is going on in an easy way.

Making your services more accessible for hearing impaired clients

Jo Haywood is a hairstylist in Kensington, London for Luke Ormsby salon.

She trained with Vidal Sassoon and has enjoyed learning and growing as a hairstylist.

She has a long commute to work every day, and felt like she could be using the travel time in a productive way, and decided she would like to learn sign language.

Jo now holds a level 2 in BSL, which she studied with her Dad. Initially, this was just a way to continue her personal development, and a great way to connect with him, but her manager encouraged her to advertise this skill to clients. Although she was not confident at first, she received a great response.

We discuss tips on how to make a hearing impaired client's salon visit easier and more enjoyable, and how sign language has enabled her to build a connection with her clients and to give them the best salon experience.

Permanent Chemotherapy induced Hair loss ~ What you're not being told

Shirley Ledlie was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2005. She had a lumpectomy and node biopsy, and was told it had spread but the node was encapsulated.

She had radiotherapy and chemotherapy with Taxoter. After her treatment, she noticed that her hair was not growing back. Her oncologist contacted the drug company, and they were aware that the treatment could cause permanent hair loss.

It was then that she found out about PCIA. She has not had no hair for 20 years, and has a daily reminder of her cancer and her treatment.

We discuss her story, and how permanent hair loss from Taxoter could be a lot more common than reported, and could be as high as 20-30%.

Get off the tools ~ How to grow your business and get out of your comfort zone!

Katie Godfrey is a salon owner, educator, product developer, business strategist and author.

She left school at the age of 13 with no qualifications, after being bullied. She studied beauty at college and ended up opening a business at just 19 with a loan and no experience!

Katie has built her brand and learned how to grow a team. When she had a baby, she had to learn how to hand over her clients and not be the integral key person in the business. She was able to take a step back, working on the business rather than in the business. She was able to channel her energy into her team.

She has then gone on to create a lash & brow range and educate others who wanted to learn from and work with her. She shares how products can be a great way to increase income.

Katie now runs retreats and masterminds, coaching people and building their business strategies.

College or Apprenticeship training? ~ The future of Hairdressing Education

Mariana began her hairdressing education as a mature student of 25. After qualifying, she was keen to become an educator, and now teaches level 2 & 3 hairdressing at North Kent College.

She wants to instil a passion for the industry into her students.

She shares how the Lee Stafford academy approach within the College has provided systemised learning, with 'recipes' that the students can follow for success.

We discuss how the changes in the minimum wage and budget may reduce the amount of apprenticeships available and she challenges the stigma around a college hairdressing education, and the high standard of facilities they have.

Mariana believes that there are still great opportunities for people who want to enter the hairdressing industry, and that CPD is important to remain current and relevant.

Living and working with trichotillomania ~ from hairdresser and client perspective

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Living and working with trichotillomania ~ from hairdresser and client perspective

Sarah & Liz:

Sarah Sullivan is a hairdresser & educator. She trained in extensions, which led her to train in hair systems and wigs. This then inspired her to further train in trichology, and she now runs a private hair salon and separate air loss clinic.

Liz has had trichotillomania since she was 10. She lost all her hair after witnessing a traumatic car accident. As her hair grew back, she began to focus on it and notice its different textures. She didn't like it as the hairs grew back curly.

Over the years she has been able to manage her compulsion and recognise the triggers. Sometimes she is able to control the compulsion and sometimes she is not.

Liz always dreaded going to the salon to get her hair done. She had high anxiety and people used to point and stare at her which made her feel intimidated.

Since she has found a hairdresser with a knowledge and understanding of hair loss who has a private environment, she says it has taken the stress out of getting her hair done. She now enjoys getting her hair done.

We discuss the best way to approach a client or family member with this condition, and various areas of treatment.

Travelling to Turkey for a hair transplant ~ is it the answer?

Travelling to Turkey for a hair transplant ~ is it the answer?

Dr Anthony Bared has a background in plastic surgery, with over 15 years as a surgeon.

He trained as a head & neck surgeon and now also specialises in hair restoration. He concentrates on just these few areas, so that he can develop and perfect his craft.

Dr Bared stresses the importance of communication to manage expectations. He also conducts follow ups after hair transplant surgery, seeing his patients back for upto a year afterwards, and how this may mean that travelling internationally for treatment can lead to less reliable, or even unsatisfactory long term results.

We also discuss over- harvesting the donor areas, and how aggressive procedures are not beneficial long term.

He shares how the surgery can necessitate a certain level of artistry, including considering the angulation and depth of each individual hair follicle for the most natural look.

The use of PRP to support the hair growth and expedite healing is also shared.

We look at Minoxidil and Finasteride, the side effects and how you can test to determine whether these would benefit you.

Rebecca is a third generation nurse, who works in mental health nursing with young people, offering trauma therapy. She also has an interest in crime and forensics.

Two years ago her hairdresser noticed a couple of small bald spots, She recommended a hair loss shampoo which triggered a huge allergic reaction, resulting in painful, rapid hair loss and infected hair follicles. This led to boils and spots on the scalp which can flare up and be very painful at times.

She has been diagnosed with Lichen Planopilaris, a condition which has left her scalp with areas of scarring and permanent hair loss.

We talk about different treatments, if they have shown results, and any side effects, and Rebecca shares her story as she wants people to know that there are positive sides to alopecia too.
She has made connections with others through her instagram and youtube accounts, as well as alopecia support groups, and now hopes to work with young people affected by hair loss.

Anorexia, eating disorders & hair loss

Mon, 13 Jan 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Anorexia, eating disorders & hair loss

Dr Laura is a GP in Leeds, and also has a focus on functional medicine.
She says sometimes she feels rushed and struggles to build the relationship with patients that she would like to have. She has to focus on time critical conditions rather than those who may be seen as less serious.

As a young person, she had eczema and acne, and was bullied for this. She then later experienced anorexia, which led to hair loss. eventually she began to investigate what was causing her hair loss, and discovered that it can often be multi factorial.

Dr Laura has a great perspective of disordered eating from both a Doctor's and patient's point of view. She shares the difference between anorexia and disordered eating, and how even those who are overweight can still be malnourished and could experience hair loss.

We also look at how to manage stress and high cortisol levels and the impact it can have on the hair.

Strategies to reduce stress & help to combat hair loss

Mon, 06 Jan 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Strategies to reduce stress & help to combat hair loss

Lisa West has been in the hair industry for over 40 years, and is the owner of Synergy Hair Loss in Portsmouth.
She began to take an interest in trichology after she trained in hair systems, but soon realised that without the underpinning knowledge on hair loss, she risked her clients missing out on getting help, or possibly even making their condition worse. She wanted to have answers for her clients and likes to take a holistic approach.

Lisa describes how to recognise high cortisol levels, and how hair loss can be impacted by stress. She shares her tips on starting off 2025 in a calmer, healthier state by making small, sustainable habits rather than unrealistic & unachievable New Year's resolutions.

Mohs surgery & skin cancer ~ how to recognise the signs

Mon, 30 Dec 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Mohs surgery & skin cancer ~ how to recognise the signs

Dr Rex, a dermatologist who treats skin & scalp conditions is back once more to discuss the different types of skin cancer, and what to look for if you notice something suspicious on a client or patient's skin or scalp.

We discuss Mohs surgery, and how it is used to incrementally remove skin cancer without removing large areas of skin, leading to reduced scarring & better healing.

Dr Rex describes how to recognise lesions such as basal cell & squamous cell carcinomas and melanomas, so that you will know when to advise a patient or client to go and get their mole or lesion checked out.

We also discuss how skin cancers may appear differently on darker skin types along with common traits.

Understanding the science behind trichology & haircare using research & clinical reviews

Mon, 23 Dec 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Understanding the science behind trichology & haircare using research & clinical reviews

Marta Teixeira is a clinical trichologist who has conducted clinical reviews and has published two articles.

In school, her hair made her a target for bullies, as it was big and curly, and even at the age of 14, she began to straighten and chemically relax it to fit in. She found over time that her hair became very damaged ad began to break off, which led to her having to change her haircare practices and begin to embrace her natural texture.
She began to take an interest in hair care and created an Instagram account to help others learn how to care for their curls.

She began to take an interest in hair science, which has led to her conducting extensive research on various papers and topics, including the science behind curly hair, and diagnosis using trichoscopy.

Marta shares tips on preparing to compile a clinical study if you would like to consider getting work published, and also the importance of regulation in the industry and finding the right practitioner for the right advice.

How hair systems could have a positive impact on your clients and your business.

Mon, 09 Dec 2024 06:00:00 +0000

How hair systems could have a positive impact on your clients and your business.

Rob has been in the hair industry for 20 years, and now owns Novo Cabello where he provides wigs & hair systems for clients as well as education for hairstylists and barbers so that these services are accessible. These salons can partner with him as well as learning how to fit the systems.

He decided to train in hair after a back injury prevented him from pursuing his career in dance & singing. He opened his first salon at the age of just 24, which he owned for 17 years.

The first time he fitted a hair system it was for his friend, who had suffered severely with their mental health because of their hair loss. This had such an impact on them both that it led to him finding his niche fitting systems and wigs. He wants to break down the stigma and for those who wear them to be celebrated and for it to become normalised.

Making better product choices & understanding your hair & scalp needs

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Making better product choices & understanding your hair & scalp needs

Kameese Davis, a mother of two from Birmingham, is a self-proclaimed entrepreneur, visionary and information geek.

She has created her own vegan haircare brand, Nylah's, after she struggled to find products for her daughter's needs when she was only 4 years old and suffered from seborrheic dermatitis. There was nothing natural that she could use for her scalp condition and hair type.

In the end she resorted to sourcing products from America, which was costly and time consuming, making it unreliable long term.

She shares her journey, along with her own experience of hair loss, which added to the struggles of starting her own business.
We discuss how some product brands are only concerned with the bottom line, even using waste products at ingredients to maximise profit, regardless of the impact on the end user.

She also talks about ingredient consciousness, and how many products ,marketed to black women are dangerously high in chemicals or toxic.

She has created a product line that celebrates her daughter's identity and her natural beauty.

Creating supplements that really work ~ Seed and Soul

Deborah Maguire, along with her business partner Katie Hemming, both have a background in agriculture and have a sustainable ethos, with a passion for ethical, organic, fair trade products that are good for the planet and their clients.

They have a salon in the Cotswolds, and whilst Katie specialises in hair extensions, Deborah decided to train in trichology, and began to take an interest in nutrition, as she came to realise how important it can be for hair health.

They then decided to create their own supplement which aligned with their values. This meant that it has no fillers or unnecessary ingredients, and is made in England by a pharmaceutically accredited company.

We talk about how important it is to have the right ingredients, in the right levels, to ensure that the supplement is effective, as Deborah states, all the systems in the body need to work in harmony for optimum hair health, like an orchestra.

Deborah shares how important transparency is, and that how the product works and all the key ingredients are readily available for anyone to view before they even make a purchase. She describes the benefits of these ingredients and the amazing things they can do!

What happens when Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia goes undiagnosed

Mon, 20 May 2024 06:00:00 +0100

What happens when Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia goes undiagnosed

Lesley Rutter lives in Newcastle, around 10 years ago, at the age of 40, she began to notice severe hair shedding. The front of her hair began to be itchy, her hair follicles became raised & inflamed, and her hairline began to recede away.

She went to the doctor, and he told her it was just stress related,, and it would go away on its own.
She returned to various doctors over a period of six years, where she was repeatedly sent away and told that it was just because of stress.
She was left undiagnosed, not knowing where to turn or what she could do to treat her condition. She had bouts of severe shedding, including loss of eyebrows and lashes, which means her eyes are constantly itchy.

Eventually, a nurse noticed that her confidence was being severely affected, and that this was having an impact on her life, and encouraged her to advocate for herself and demand to be referred for treatment. This led to her being sent to a dermatologist, who finally diagnosed her with FFA. By this time, however, she had lost around two inches of her hairline, and was shocked to discover that this would not be reversible.

She now has a treatment plan, and has made connections with others, who can understand what she is going through, which she says has made a huge difference.

The Hair Loss Clinic W/ Eva Proudman

Mon, 13 May 2024 06:00:00 +0100

The Hair Loss Clinic W/ Eva Proudman

Eva Proudman FIT has over 20 years in the hair loss industry and now has a very busy schedule, with clinics in Harley Street, Warwickshire, Hertfordshire, Staffordshire & Hampshire where she sees over 250 patients a month!
On top of this she works in product development, mentorship and consultancy.

After being involved in a car accident at 32, she medically retired and had to have her spine fused so she couldn't work. She ended up being invited to a networking group, where she met a hair extension company owner, which got her into the field of education & hair loss. She ended up buying out the company and developing the hair in recovery programme.

She then had bariatric surgery for diabetes, which led to her losing over 50% of her hair. This propelled her to develop her own award winning supplements, gaining data from over 700 patients, where she has seen good results.

She was also involved in the making of the TV series 'The Hair Loss Clinic', and has influenced many people to the point that they have now signed up to the Institute of Trichology themselves to study!

What are JAK inhibitors & how can they be used to treat Alopecia Areata?

Mon, 06 May 2024 06:00:00 +0100

What are JAK inhibitors & how can they be used to treat Alopecia Areata?

Dr Jemma Boyle has has alopecia since she was 10 years old, which began as small bald patches which she says could be easily hidden. By her late teens, it began to get worse & more obvious. At the age of 30, she first lost all of her hair. This then grew back, then she lost it again.

She is a Doctor who specialises in breast surgery & cancer research, who has been using JAK inhibitors to treat her own condition.

Dr Boyle shares how losing her hair caused her to stop & put more time into looking after herself better; she began running, journaling, eating better and even stopped drinking alcohol for a year. She is one of only 10% of those with alopecia areata who has experienced spontaneous regrowth after losing all their hair.

The JAK inhibitor Ritlecitinib has recently been approved on the NHS, and Jemma describes how it works, and how it can be used to treat hair loss.

The facts about scalp cooling

Mon, 29 Apr 2024 06:00:00 +0100

The facts about scalp cooling

Claire Paxman, the brand ambassador & Director of global education for Paxman scalp cooling, the global leader in scalp cooling.

Claire shares how it was her Mum having breast cancer in the 90's that first made her aware of scalp cooling, when she tried the cold cap. Her Mum went on to lose her battle with cancer at just 44. She was 14 when she had to shave all her Mum's hair off, which was a devastating experience for her.

Her Grandfather invented the first ice bank cooler for beer, and they began to use their knowledge of cooling systems to develop a better scalp cooling system which is a medical device.

Vasoconstriction can have a great effect on how much hair is lost during chemotherapy treatment, and also how fast it will grow back.

Claire shares how knowledge & education around the use of the cold cap is vital, and is working hard to ensure that the correct information is given and available to hospitals and patients.

Can we reverse going grey? Interesting cases from New York

Can we reverse going grey? Interesting cases from New York

Penny James is the only board certified Trichologist in New York City.
She has been a hairstylist for years, and, after experiencing hair loss herself studied trichology. Now she combines Beauty and Science within her atelier.

She finds awareness a struggle, as not enough people know what a trichologist is, and she wants it to become more well known, as long as campaigning for regulation within the industry.

Penny has seen some very unusual cases, which she shares with us today.
She presented these at the World Trichology Conference in London, which she says was the highlight of her career!

We look at the possibility of temporary greying, and how it may be triggered by a stressful event. Hair pigmentation could be used to show past life events by being monitored and measured.
Penny describes how the pineal gland can be a variable in hair growth and colour, and that mitochondria can lay dormant and then restart.

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Alopecia Areata Incognita, Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex & Pili Torti

Lottie lives in West Yorkshire. She has a rare skin condition called epidermolysis bullosa simplex, which she has had since childhood, which had a big impact on her life. Then just as that started to improve, at the age of 14 she developed alopecia areata incognita. She also has pili torti.

She began working in the hair loss industry when she was asked to take over Verve hair loss salon in 2020, where she used to be a client. The owner wanted to choose someone to hand the business over to who had experience of hair loss and also an interest in business. She now runs the salon with her mum.

Lottie is also now studying with the institute of Trichology, where she is enjoying learning more about her conditions within her course.

We discuss her conditions, what they are and how they impact her day to day life, how she has dealt with her alopecia and the strategies she has employed such as psychotherapy.

She also shares her decision to change from a fitted hair system to wearing wigs, to give her more choice and freedom, and how her Instagram account has helped her come to terms with being hair free.

Persistent Chemotherapy Induced Alopecia

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Persistent Chemotherapy Induced Alopecia

Jo had chemotherapy and radiotherapy in 2017, following breast cancer. She has had a double mastectomy and a hysterectomy, which plunged her into medically induced menopause.

She also lost her hair due to the treatment. She had been advised that this would probably happen, but was given the impression that it would grow back. She was not really given any information or advice regarding the cold cap, and after treatment, her hair didn't really start to grow back.

Jo sought help from her doctors, dermatologist and even a trichologist. She tried minoxidil, which yielded no results, and eventually was advised that her hair follicles seemed damaged, and after seven years, her hair has never fully grown back.
It wasn't until she spoke to a scalp cooling expert that she heard the term Persistent Chemotherapy Induced Alopecia, and found out how common it is.

Jo set up her instagram account 'Titless Wonder' to help to spread awareness around breast cancer, the options available, and the reality of the possible side effects of treatment, such as PCIA. She is determined to ensure that people know all the information to be able to make a fully informed decision on their treatment plan.

Why your mindset is so important

Belinda Hillman says she is very aware of what it is like to feel 'less than', describing herself as a bit of a lost teen who was living in a bedsit at the age of just 16.

The hairdressing industry helped her to turn her life around, going from a council estate to working on a cruise ship and travelling the world. She then went on to own a salon, but felt that she needed more help with her own mental health so as not to feel isolated.

She then created the brand Belinda Mindset, where she encourages people to focus on what they are good at. She provides education through her HABIA accredited mindset course, sharing that she likes to leave a lasting impression on her learners and add value by paying attention to the small details. Her aim is to inspire people, even if it is just for one moment in time.

She has created six different packs of cards to provide guidance for motivation and mindset.

Belinda is currently a part of the VTCT collective tour, and is also offering education for Wella professionals.

Why consistent habits and the right advice are paramount to regaining healthy hair.

Mon, 05 Feb 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Why consistent habits and the right advice are paramount to regaining healthy hair.

Karis is 35 and lives in Kent. She began experiencing issues with her hair three years ago, when she had noticeable shedding which led to visible thinning.

She describes her life at the time as very stressful and difficult, a relationship breaking down and facing many challenges led to her not taking care of herself as well as she could have. She began to notice a large amount of hair in her brush and in the shower.
She investigated all the possible causes of her hair loss including traction alopecia and chemical/ heat damage.

Karis stresses the importance of using good quality products, and recognises their value. She believes that consistency is key when it comes to hair health.
Her hair was her crown, and losing that has had an impact on her confidence.

She says 'you can't put a price on the right advice' as we talk about being able to access and interpret information such as blood tests to accurately determine any deficiencies she has. Sharing this information with Karis meant we could look at the many different supplements she had bought, versus what she actually needed to make a difference.

We look at everything she had put in place to restore her hair to its former glory.

How to look after your hair & scalp in winter

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 06:00:00 +0000

How to look after your hair & scalp in winter

Jill Lee, a hairstylist of 25 years, qualified as a trichologist with USTI over a year ago.
Trichologists are not very commonly known in America, and she loves being able to help her clients on a deeper level.

Jill tells all on how winter can have an impact on the hair & scalp - what does it need?
We discuss how you might want to change or add to your product range to help to give moisture and nourish the hair. Is winter shedding real or a myth?

We also look at the different scalp conditions, such as seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff and dry scalp- how do we tell the difference?
Jill states that scaly conditions not properly looked after can become breeding grounds for fungus and yeast, and the practices that can make these worse. We look at cleansing and exfoliating the scalp as well as the face and skin.

What do you need to add or include in your hair & scalp care regimen to get the best from your hair this season?

Does sugar have an impact on hair loss?

Mon, 08 Jan 2024 06:00:00 +0000

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0924224421004362

David Barreto began to notice is hair thinning at the age of just 20, and by the time he was 22, this had began to be quite noticeable.

He tried various treatments, but did not see any markable improvement. This led him to look into genetic hair loss, where he found that there has been a lot of research done that hadn't been put into use in commercial products. He wanted to bridge the gap between science and commercial products.

He wanted to create products that used natural solutions, adding compounds found in nature, rather than chemicals or synthetic drugs to treat hair loss, as he found that compliance can be an issue with some medical alternatives, along with the health warnings and side effects putting people off or making them a non- viable option.

He then began to create System K11, a science-led company, of which he is co-founder.

Looking at the driving forces behind genetic hair loss, he found studies that showed a correlation to the rate of hair loss and diet, researching into sugary drinks and type 2 diabetes as examples of how a dysregulated metabolism can have an effect on the mitochondrial rate of respiration which limits the amount of energy the hair follicles gain from the glycogen stores around the hair follicles.

How colitis related hair loss led to a career in wigs

Mon, 04 Dec 2023 06:00:00 +0000

How colitis related hair loss led to a career in wigs

Hediye Garcia has a background in hair, and was on the path to studying to be an educator when she began to experience hair loss.

She was simultaneously suffering from Alopecia Areata and Telogen Effluvium, which she originally put down to stress, but further investigation showed deficiencies in folic acid and iron.
Hediye was puzzled as to how she could have become anaemic when she follows a very healthy Mediterranean style diet, and after tests she was told she had colitis, which meant her body wasn't absorbing nutrients from food effectively.

She describes her hair loss, along with her diagnosis of colitis very mentally challenging, and she had to try to put her condition into perspective and focus on being grateful, not letting it consume her days.

This all led her to begin to take an interest in wigs and hair systems, and she even made her own wig!

She now offers hair extensions, wigs & toppers in Ashford, Kent. She shares her knowledge and information.

After this, Tina had to seek her own solutions for help, trying different options, including researching HRT, which she claims had a noticeable improvement on her hair loss.

Tina says that her alopecia made her feel embarrassed and ashamed, and shares her story in the hope that others ay find it helpful.

Since experiencing her hair loss, she has made many changes to her lifestyle, including probiotics, supplements, meditation and exercise.

When should you consult a dermatologist for help?

When should you consult a dermatologist for help?

Dr Elle de Moll is a Connecticut- based dermatologist who is in support of the Global Healthy Living Foundation's non-profit campaign, the Health, Education + Reliable Outreach + Empathetic Support, which has been created by, with and for stylists, salons & barber shops to equip stylists to support their clients with skin & scalp conditions.

Dr Elle discusses why it is a benefit to everyone for stylists and therapists to be able to help to address any skin & scalp concerns their clients may be facing.

We talk about new & emerging treatment options, how medicines are getting more targeted & precise, and how she has studied new treatments for melanomas, using the immune system to help fight cancer.

We discuss how to recognise skin cancer and the signs to look for, inequalities and why people of colour are less likely to visit a dermatologist for help. They also may experience undertreatment of chronic conditions. Dr Elle also challenges the misconception that only fair-skinned people can get skin cancer, and how someone may have a genetic pre-disposition.

She urges anyone who is concerned to seek help, and doesn't like to see anyone being preyed upon by unethical marketing companies.

How can you get exposure and attract potential clients

Sarah Yorke opened her own salon at just 23 years old! 7 years later and the salon felt more like a prison than a blessing.

She decided to move to Manchester to follow her heart, and found herself in the position of trying to find a new hairdresser herself.
She also needed to build a new clientele and wanted to get her work seen by as many people as possible.

Sarah knew that entering a random salon in her local area was a risk, and wanted to create a way to find out what the stylists were like within the salons, and what their work looked like, being able to see what they specialise in and their education and experience.

She created the Stylebook Directory, meaning you can search for exactly what you want and find the stylist perfect for your needs.
Following this, she also created Stylebook Education, for students and educators to look for employment, staff, and for them to showcase their work or look for models.

What is it like to have Chronic Telogen Effluvium?

Mon, 17 Jul 2023 06:00:00 +0100

What is it like to have Chronic Telogen Effluvium?

Tom Holmes describes his hair loss journey as a rollercoaster.

After having cervical fusion surgery, he was left unable to eat or drink whilst in recovery and quickly lost 30lbs. He then began to lose his hair rapidly.

He shares his story with us, his recovery and then further bouts of extreme shedding. He has correlated these episodes to periods of sudden weight loss. Every time he loses hair he finds it just as painful as the first.

He was so self conscious that he wore hats everywhere, even to dinner out and to a wedding! Because he didn't want to answer questions around his hair loss and found it upsetting when people assumed he had cancer.

How you can create your own product range

Mon, 10 Jul 2023 06:00:00 +0100

How you can create your own product range

Karen Agnes created K2A skincare in 2016, with the aim to produce a range that contained bespoke ingredients that resonated with the brand, her values, and a holistic approach to beauty treatments.

She looked at the whole holistic approach when it comes to using and buying products, and this range was made with selected ingredients, how they all work together and how they can enhance the whole customer experience.

We discuss how to set up your own range of products, how easy it is to do, the pitfalls and legal considerations, along with all the steps involved.

What are the advantages of having your own products?

Karen also speaks about the importance of choosing to work with people who are in alignment with your brand values and vision.
Along with the products, Karen has built some personalised rituals and application techniques to make sure that the salons who use them stand apart from others in their area, giving them a point of difference, and how this can build loyalty for you and the brand.

Are you able to cater to the needs of your community?

Stephanie La Flora shares her story of how she felt alienated by being turned away by every salon in her area, and how humiliating it felt.
She decided there needed to be a change in the industry, and despite being pregnant, having just quit her job, and being in the middle of a lockdown due to a global pandemic, she decided to create the change she wanted to see and founded CrownHunt.

Stephanie wishes to help salons be more inclusive to everyone in their community, and to provide representation for everyone, including in the product ranges salons offer.

She wants to help entrepreneurs build successful businesses that honour diversity and culture.

Tackling Curly Hair with Confidence

Mon, 29 May 2023 06:00:00 +0100

Tackling Curly Hair with Confidence

Starr Mason is the Field Education Leader for the Hair Cuttery family of brands and is a hair stylist with over 30 years in the industry.

She began her career in school, after being inspired by Vidal Sassoon, and didn't realise at the time all the different avenues that would become available to her throughout her career.

Starr believes that education is a never-ending journey and loves to re-ignite stylists' passion for hair.

She has learned to love her textured hair and getting to know what it needs and likes, and encourages others to do the same with their own hair, and for their clients!

She urges people to jump in when it comes to working with textured hair and not to be scared to work with curls.

We discuss how to work with textured hair, much product to apply, the difference between cocktailing and layering products and maintenance.

Look Good Feel Better

Mon, 22 May 2023 06:00:00 +0100

Look Good Feel Better

Kassi McFarlane is Hairstylist who specialises in styling hair for weddings & special occasions.

She first heard about the Look good feel better charity 20 years ago, when she worked on cosmetic counters recommending products.

The Charity is now approaching its 30th anniversary!

Look good feel better supports those receiving cancer treatment to be able to be given advice and help on how to adapt to changes treatment may make to your hair, skin, body shape, (including eyebrows, nails, face shape).
Their volunteers include make-up artists, Hairstylists and stylists to help you learn methods & techniques for changes in make-up, how to deal with new hair growth, different lengths, texture & colour, skin texture and what to wear for different body sizes or shape.

Kassi describes how 'superficial' treatments such as hair and make-up can have a deeper significance for cancer patients who just want to get back to feeling like themselves.

The benefits of an apprenticeship in the Hair Industry

Mon, 15 May 2023 06:00:00 +0100

The benefits of an apprenticeship in the Hair Industry

Sarah Abel from TNB skills training joins me to talk about the importance of apprenticeships within the Hairdressing industry and the benefits of the programmes.

Sarah has been in the industry since she was 13! She returned to hair & beauty at 38, learned nails, and took over a business. She realised that there was a gap in the market for nail training apprenticeships.

She has had to often defend the industry against the common misconception that hairdressing or any vocational courses are not a pathway to a lucrative career, and the negative connotations that these are only for students who are not suitable for A-level courses or University.
Sarah has the stats to prove that actually these jobs can be just as high earning if not more!

We discuss the benefits of an apprenticeship programme, and what the future may hold for the industry.

Her academy has grown since 2008, and she has worked hard to find ways to work with employers to make sure both them and their trainees are well supported.

How hair loss made me a better Hairdresser

How hair loss made me a better Hairdresser

Jessica Young has been in the Hair industry for 16 years, and thought that she knew enough about the hair & scalp to advise and help her clients; That is, until she began to experience extreme hair shedding herself!
She then realised that there was a lot more that she could learn, and tells how her own journey has made her be able to support her clients so much better too.

As a busy mum, when she first noticed her hair loss, she didn't really take any action, and now realises that she was on the verge of burnout, with low iron, migraines, body shakes and brittle, poor quality hair.

We discuss how hair loss can be a sign of other issues such as deficiencies in the bodies that should not be ignored, and where to go to get effective help.

Jess says that her experience has changed her approach to client consultations, and has made her a better hairdresser as a result.

See the Human first ~ Could your salon be more inclusive?

Keri Blue is a barber & short hair specialist, who was inspired to learn to cut hair after being refused service at a barber shop in Brighton.
She found the whole experience so shocking and embarrassing, that this led her to join learn to cut hair, to ensure that other people could have a more positive experience.

She now works hard to educate others within the industry to help them and their businesses be more inclusive to all LGBTQIA+ people.

Keri is all about challenging stereotypes, and unpicking social constructs, gently suggesting how we can make small changes to be more inclusive,

We discuss how the journey to your salon begins far before a client sits in your chair, and what you can do to show that you are Trans and non- binary friendly.

We also look at the benefits of hourly pricing and gender neutral pricing.

Should all hair salons cater for Afro Textured hair?

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Should all hair salons cater for Afro Textured hair?

Karen Roberts lives in Bromley, UK. She is the owner of Mintwave Radio and the host of 'A coffee with Karen' podcast.

She is mixed race, with Afro Textured hair.
She was adopted by two white parents, and lived in Tunbridge Wells in Kent, where there was very little diversity, and they didn't really know how to handle her hair type.
Support for adoptive families at that time was minimal, and none of the local salons were capable of working with Afro Textured hair.

She found herself as a teenager learning how to braid her hair herself, and getting a train into London to visit a specialist salon.

We discuss whether salons should endeavour to offer services for Afro Textured hair, or whether it is better for some salons to specialise.

Karen talks about how unsolicited comments on her hair affected her self esteem and the damage this can do.

Alopecia Universalis at 17 ~ Why it's important to find connections

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Alopecia Universalis at 17 ~ Why it's important to find connections

Frank Cornine, 38, has been living with alopecia since he was 17 and in High School, when within 6 months he experienced a total loss of hair from his whole body!

He describes his visit to the dermatologist to get help as quite cold and not very compassionate, saying his initial patches of hair loss may get better, or they may get worse.
The uncertainty of whether his hair would all fall out or return was difficult to deal with.

He describes losing a part of his identity, how he no longer looked like his family members and actually admits he had an Identity Crisis because of not looking like himself.

High School and College were difficult; he didn't know anyone with alopecia and didn't have anyone he could talk to who understood what he was going through.

He has now set up his own podcast, Alopecia Connection to help people going through hair loss realise they are not alone.

What is the cold cap and how is it used during Chemotherapy?

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 06:00:00 +0000

What is the cold cap and how is it used during Chemotherapy?

Julia Smith was shocked when she was diagnosed with Paget's disease, a form of breast cancer, despite her having no lumps on her breasts.

She had surgery to remove one of her nipples, which she thought would be the end of her treatment, but then found she had to have chemotherapy as her cancer was hormone receptive.

After much deliberation, she decided to try the cold cap during chemotherapy to try to minimise her hair loss from the treatment.

She describes her experience, what she has learned and how it works.

Julia's uplifting philosophy is 'Be bitter or be better'

Is your business sustainable? How you can recycle 95% of your salon waste!

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Is your business sustainable? How you can recycle 95% of your salon waste!

JC Aucamp has spent 25 years in the hairdressing industry.
He was shocked to realise that the local council made no provisions to recycle any of the Salon's hairdressing waste.
He began to measure how much waste the business was producing and decided to develop his own solution.

JC is now the founder of the Salon Sustainability Club, enabling salons to recycle 95% of all the waste they create.
They work to support everyone in the industry from freelancers to large salons.
We discuss some simple ideas to help begin your recycling journey, and how to get the clients involved too.

Almost all waste products can be recycled, including hair, which is compostable, but can emit greenhouse gasses when sent to landfill.
They recycle 2 1/2 to 3 tonnes of foil every two months!

Salon Sustainability works to support the HABB & Enham Trust Charities.

How to handle those difficult conversations around wigs and hair loss ~ With My New Hair Charity

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 06:00:00 +0000

How to handle those difficult conversations around wigs and hair loss.

Ann Fox and Joanne Atkinson both join me for this touching discussion around their incredible work with the My New Hair charity.

Ann's Mum died of lung cancer when she was 18, and this spurred her on to work in nursing.
Similarly Joanne has spent 35 years in cancer care and has a PHD in end of life care after a friend died of leukaemia.

They were shocked to find that although they strive to give their patients the best possible care, the aftercare they received when it came to procuring a wig was severely lacking.

The ladies decided to get involved in the L'Oreal My New Hair programme, along with Trevor Sorbie, to help educate hairdressers in how best to help cancer patients get a better standard of care and service.
They have produced a toolkit to help patients to get a suitable wig and be able to have it fitted and customised.

You can contact the charity for leaflets, resources, templates and information for fundraising and support.

Medically induced hair loss ~ How some small, achievable steps can make a big impact.

Lesley Hoad shares her real-life story on her hair loss following her cancer diagnosis and treatment.

As a hairdresser and an educator, she felt more pressure when her hair began to fall out, as if she 'should' have all the answers. She describes not feeling like herself as she began to lose not only her hair but her teeth aswell.

She describes the small, realistic changes that she has been able to implement to lessen the impact of cancer on her life and her body, helping her to regain her sense of self.

As a self-confessed workaholic, she shares how she would have chemotherapy on her lunch break and then return to work! And how the experience has actually helped her to learn to slow down, listen to her body and make the necessary adjustments to improve her health and recovery.

Lesley is an inspiration with her positivity and selfless approach to life. She feels that by not letting it get the better of her, and keeping up with normal life as much as possible, it has helped her work through her depression and fight for her recovery.

How many everyday medications could have an effect your hair

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 06:00:00 +0000

How many everyday medications could have an effect your hair

Araz Nelson from combed education has been a hairstylist for over two decades, starting her career when she was just 15.

She has carried out months of research on the effects of different medications on the hair, the side effects that can be experienced, and how this can produce unstable - sometimes terrifying - results when using chemical treatments such as hair colour!
We discuss how minerals and medications are excreted from the body, including inhabiting the hair. The Contraceptive pill, aspirin, thyroid medication, blood pressure treatment, to name a few, can all have different negative effects on the hair.

She shares the benefits of her experience through her own education brand, including her podcast, to help inspire and develop others, as she knows how much learning has enabled her to grow professionally and also personally.

Araz believes that you can always learn more, and you can gain from those around you, such as our clients, who can be an untapped resource! Education and knowledge should be sought out to ensure you excel in your career and enjoy what you do.

Removing the stigma around female hair loss ~ How Alopecia areata led to becoming a wellbeing & mindfulness advocate.

Mon, 19 Sep 2022 06:00:00 +0100

Removing the stigma around female hair loss ~ How Alopecia areata led to becoming a wellbeing & mindfulness advocate.

Chloe Sheehan lives with Alopecia. Her condition fluctuates and can improve or worsen at any time.
After her diagnosis, she recognised that her job was causing her stress, and she had a complete career change.
This led to her seeking out mindfulness techniques and looking at the ways she manages stress.

She has gone from adamantly telling herself that she would never get married or have kids because of the condition, to planning a wedding!

She now gives talks in schools on mindfulness and promotes wellbeing, giving children the tools for resilience and stress management.
She also set up an Instagram account to help people find some positivity and know that they are not alone.

Why business education is just as important as being a great hairdresser

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 06:00:00 +0100

Why business education is just as important as being a great hairdresser

Antony Whitaker has been hairdressing since 1978. He has trained with the best and owned three successful salons and had his own training schools.

He now puts his wealth of knowledge and experience to good use as a salon business coach after finding that stylists on his hairdressing courses were just as keen to learn about their business as they were their craft.

Many hairdressers are creative people, who don't have any formal business training or qualifications. Creative people often see the business side of a salon as boring.
But Antony is here to explain how business can be just as creative, and how it is an ever-changing entity in itself, constantly growing and evolving.

He also hosts the 'Grow your salon business' Podcast.

What is electrolysis and how does it work?

How Hairdressers can better support clients with hair loss

Mon, 29 Aug 2022 06:00:00 +0100

How Hairdressers can better support clients with hair loss

Louise Howard-Long set up her own salon at 24, and thought that she was an understanding hairdresser, who could help support her clients through problems such as hair loss.
That is, until she experienced hair loss herself!

She describes her experience with two simultaneous alopecia conditions as one that affected her wellbeing, her sense of self and caused her to lose her sense of perspective.

She took to Instagram and created videos documenting what was happening to her, and got a really positive response. She even took time off work to come to terms with her hair loss.

She is now passionate about supporting her clients in more ways if they suffer from hair loss, giving them more options and adding more information to their website about products and techniques that can help them to disguise and manage their condition.

Mon, 22 Aug 2022 06:00:00 +0100

Dealing with cancer and hair loss ~ My New Hair W/ Trevor Sorbie

Trevor Sorbie MBE joins me this week to talk about the My New Hair charity, working with clients who may be experiencing hair loss due to cancer treatments such as chemotherapy.

He has worked with L'Oreal for the last 15 years, their longest running seminar, teaching over 1,000 hairdressers how to cut and fit wigs and how to care for cancer patients.

We talk about his career that spans over four decades, after he found that he had a natural talent for hair.

Trevor shares information around the course, and how he has dealt with clients who have experienced cancer, including working at a hospice.

Information is key, and knowing where to go when you need help, or who to refer a client to, is key.

Alopecia Universalis ~ What it's like to lose every hair on your body

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 06:00:00 +0100

When Candace Christina turned 42 years old, after a mild case of COVID, she began to notice bald spots one month later. She also started to shed hair rapidly, and was finding it all over the house!
She then began to lose more and more hair, and was then diagnosed with alopecia universalis. She says that losing her hair was very traumatic, and the beginning of a huge journey for her to be more intentional and to embrace joy.

She created a documentary, sharing her hair loss journey. Being so open about her hair loss is difficult for her as she is usually a very private person, but she hopes that this will help and support others.

She describes how this experience has led her back to joy, and embracing the positive, fun side of life, including spending better time with her kids. She is determined to make her healing journey a positive experience.

She encourages anyone experiencing hair loss to make room for the new version of you; work out what makes you happy and do more of it!

An insight into a career as a Hair model

Kate Palmer is an international hair model, working with brands such as Wella and L'oreal, and modelling for some of the best hairdressers worldwide and creating images for the British Hairdressing Awards.

Her first venture into modelling was to enter Miss UK!

We look at the stresses and strains on your hair of being a hair model, what happens when you choose the wrong job, and the importance of only working with professional, reputable brands.

Kate shares her worst experience of being a hair model, which could have potentially ended her career.

She talks about how, having short hair means that people make assumptions about her and how she feels she gets treated differently because of it, including getting overlooked for certain campaigns.

Being a positive female role model for her daughter is very important.

How hair loss can affect your body image

Mon, 09 May 2022 06:00:00 +0100

How hair loss can affect your body image

This episode explores how body image can be affected by changes in your hair, and why it's important to seek help from a professional as early as possible.

Sarah Grant is an image consultant and NLP practitioner.
She has worked with cancer charity look good feel better, to help and support ladies going through treatment.
She helps people find their best colours when shopping for clothes, and identifies their wardrobe personality, but she says its not always about the clothes. Your internal dialogue can be just as influential on the way you perceive your body. Internal conflicts and limiting beliefs can impact your confidence for years.

We look at how hair colour and texture can change as you age, along with skin tone and complexion. Many ladies experience fine or thinning hair, especially as they get older.
Just as you may change your hair colour slightly with the changing of the seasons, you might need to think about changing your hair colour, and the colours that you wear, depending on the season of your life.

Telogen Effluvium ~ Why you shouldn't blame yourself for hair loss.

Mon, 02 May 2022 06:00:00 +0100

Telogen Effluvium ~ Why you shouldn't blame yourself for hair loss.

Bente Jakobsen has had a series of devastating events in the last five years, but despite her many ordeals, she says that losing her hair was one of the most devastating experiences of her life.
In 2017 she was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive breast cancer and had a double mastectomy. She lost her hair during chemo, but it grew back again.
She then lost her mum due to medical negligence
6 months later her dad committed suicide
6 months after that, she got divorced, and one month ago they found cancer again and she had a hysterectomy.

Despite all this, she met the love of her life and is due to get married, and just as she found happiness, she started to lose her hair!

Her hair was shedding drastically and showering was a traumatic experience.
She describes how she learned to love herself and change her mindset to be mentally supportive of herself instead of being hard on herself.

She shares how once she started to talk about her hair loss, she found that she was not alone and wants to share her story to normalise female hair loss and help others.

PTSD induced hair loss ~ The road to recovery

Mon, 11 Apr 2022 06:00:00 +0100

PTSD induced hair loss ~ The road to recovery

Julie Wilcox-Jones had just moved to South Africa when her house burnt down in a fire storm that wiped out over 700 homes over three days.
Her and her family lost everything. She was in shock and afterwards she had panic attacks, and didn't want to go out and socialise.

As her life slowly started to return to normal, she noticed that her hair began to come out in handfuls, her hairline was receding and her scalp was becoming visible. Losing her hair really knocked her confidence.

She has a background in clinical trials for medicines related to gut health, and believes that our gut health and diet have a huge impact on our hair health as well as our overall health.

Following her traumatic experience, she started to take collagen, as recommended by her hairdresser at the time, who had kindly invited victims of the fire to come to the salon to get their hair washed and blowdried.

She describes her recovery as being like a phoenix rising from the fire, as a new, stronger person.

Losing hair after cancer treatment ~ finding your 'new normal'.

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 06:00:00 +0100

Losing hair after cancer treatment ~ finding your 'new normal'.

Ania Kasprzak shares her story of her ten month long fight with triple negative breast cancer- one of the most aggressive types!
And yet despite this, and her previous heart attack, or maybe because of these, she believes in the power of positive energy and community.
She says that following her cancer treatment, one of the most emotionally difficult moments for her was when her hair started to come out in handfuls.

She describes her experience with no hair as a mainly positive one, with people being nicer to her, and sharing their own stories with her. She didn't feel that wigs were for her, and so she went around bald or sometimes wore a hat, if it was cold!

We explore how beating cancer can feel like just the beginning, and how there can be a huge journey of recovery after, where life is slightly different and you have to find a new routine, including filling your time which was taken up with hours and hours of treatment.

She also talks about how waiting for her hair to grow back in was torturously slow and a very emotional time for her.

Whilst looking for something positive to fill her time, she took a stained glass course with Kent Adult Education. She took inspiration from the stained glass windows of her childhood catholic church, and started making angels, using recycled materials to help create them.
She finds this therapeutic, and in this way is managing to touch the hearts of many and spread her positivity and love.

How confidently embracing your grey hair could propel you into a life of authenticity and success.

Roxanne Gould describes herself as a 'Grey Haired Activist'! Encouraging ladies to embrace their natural hair colour, celebrating diversity, authenticity and uniqueness.

Roxanne's modelling career began at just three years old.
She has lived in New York and Europe, modelling for Vogue and on the runways.
She claims to have the second longest career in the fashion industry, in part due to her unique look by not colouring her hair. At the time she was concerned that this would end her career, but it has propelled her into a whole new niche.

We discuss how a healthy mindset is key to having positive energy, and she describes how she is now free of many concerns around her hair due to not having to colour it.

We also look at her haircare tips to keep grey hair looking and feeling the best.

Alopecia Areata ~ How reducing stress is important in combating hair loss
'Permission to do nothing'

Denise Ferguson specialises in Property Law, mentoring salon businesses, negotiating salon leases and helping to deal with any conflicts or problems in salons.

Denise used to work for the NHS, but realised, when she had to raise the rent on a Salon who fitted wigs for cancer patients, that she was working for the wrong side! She now enjoys working with and supporting salon owners, giving them more confidence and knowledge.

She first experienced hair loss at 18 years old.
We talk about how she first noticed bald patches in her hair, but didn't get it checked out as she was living on her own, and was embarrassed and ashamed to ask for help.

Denise describes how when her hair started to grow back, it was a completely different texture!

We explore how stress can trigger patches of alopecia to start to appear, and how this can be a warning sign to look at stress levels and slow down.

But the hair extensions ended up causing more hair loss due to traction alopecia by putting strain on her already fragile fine hair!

She works with clients that have suffered from an array of problems including alopecia, cancer, fine, brittle hair and chemical damage from poorly executed chemical services.

We talk about her gentle hand tied hair extension method and how it is vitally important to find the best method for each client and their individual needs.

She recognises the impact that hair loss can have on self esteem and believes that your hair is the one accessory that you never take off!

She encourages stylists to specialise and invest in education.

TRICHOTILLOMANIA ~ Acceptance of you W/ Arin Halicki

Mon, 17 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

TRICHOTILLOMANIA

Arin Halicki, a transformational life coach, describes her childhood as a 'chaotic' environment which she feels affected her nervous system and led her to be very sensitive.

She has lived with trichotillomania since she started pulling out her eyelashes at just six years old!

After her high pressure job in the corporate world led to her suffering from high functioning depression, she left that behind to build a career as an entrepreneur, and is now a Kundalini yoga practitioner.

We talk about her condition, her road to recovery and how this has had an impact on her personal relationships and self image.

She describes feeling 'less of a woman' for not having a full head of hair, and how treating yourself with love and compassion can help you forgive and accept yourself. Building trust in yourself is the first step in shifting the pattern and changing the relationship with yourself.

THE NEW 'C' WORD ~ Covid and hair loss W/ Vera Gedalia

Mon, 03 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

THE NEW 'C' WORD

Vera Gedalia is from Washington, and shares her story of Covid 19 and the impact that has had on her health.

After contracting Covid and suffering from a very high fever, she noticed a markable decline in her hair health and condition, along with weak nails and dry skin.
She has also experienced significant hair shedding, known as Telogen Effluvium.

Vera talks about how, as her work in PR, events and marketing puts her in the spotlight, she has found it very distressing to have to disguise her hair loss. She finds it difficult to feel confident in her appearance as she has a professional image to uphold and feels her hair loss if noticeable.
We explore the variety of advice she has received, and how it can be a long steady road to recovery.

HELLO GORGEOUS! ~ Cancer support W/ Kim Becker

Mon, 13 Dec 2021 06:00:00 +0000

HELLO GORGEOUS!

Kim Becker, a hairdresser of more than 30 years, started to feel like there was more she should be doing to help people.
She made the amazing decision to start a non-profit mobile studio to visit cancer patients in their homes & pamper them at a low point in their life. She wanted to help women fighting cancer to keep a positive mindset and feel empowered.

'Its the doctor's job to treat your cancer and my job to help you look good whilst doing it'

Having experienced cancer herself, she can empathise with her clients and work with others taking a sensitive approach.

Hello Gorgeous has developed virtual makeover videos, and a training programme to enable salons to care for clients with a compromised immune system safely.

She believes there is always a lesson to be learned from adversity.

THE POWER OF HAIR ~ Cutting wigs W/ Robert Masciave

Mon, 06 Dec 2021 06:00:00 +0000

𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐯𝐞 (@robertmasciave) • Instagram photos and videos

THE POWER OF HAIR

Robert Masciave has a great history of competition and Avant Garde hairdressing work, inspired by historical figures such as Marie Antoinette, which has made him no stranger to cutting wigs. He also has a long history of working with clients experiencing alopecia.

He shares his knowledge and expertise on what to look for in a wig, the differences in quality and material, and why you should look at a wig as an investment rather than an expense.
'You cannot put a value on how you feel'
Robert takes great pleasure in making people look and feel the best they can. He also enjoys running a salon team, and recognises the importance in investing in staff and their development.

He also founded Eblade scissors, a revolutionary scissor to help perfect the craft of cutting hair whilst also reducing the risk of RSI.

HAIR LOSS AND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION ~ W/ Jacqueline Rhule

Mon, 22 Nov 2021 06:00:00 +0000

HAIR LOSS AND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

Jacqueline Rhule began to experience alopecia areata in her 20s, triggered by stress.
This forced her to re-evaluate her nutrition, and how she was looking after herself and her body. She looked into natural therapies, complimentary therapies and how she manages stress.

She had previously placed great emphasis on her hair being part of her beauty, and has had to work on her self love.
Accepting her hair loss has not always been easy, but it has been a positive journey.

After she made the tough decision to shave her head 18 years ago, she has never looked back and now describes herself as a 'shaven headed goddess'.

She is now a life coach and is happy to have found an authentic way to help people. She encourages them to look at their mindset, clearing out any negative thought patterns and take inspired action. Jacqueline believes that the law of attraction hinges on what you think, what you believe and how you see yourself.

ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA ~ Wearing a topper W/ Lacie Rodriguez

Mon, 08 Nov 2021 06:00:00 +0000

ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA

'Shame dies when stories are told in safe places'

Lacie Rodriguez, a small town girl, started to lose her hair at just 19, when depression and anxiety triggered her Female Pattern hair loss.

Some time later, she discovered hair toppers, and this gave her some sense of control over her hair loss, and helped her to come to terms with it.

She shares her knowledge on different added hair options for those with thinning hair, as she strives to remove the stigma around wigs and toppers.

Lacie now offers a consultancy service for ladies who need help and support around their hair loss and finding the right solution for them.

Lacie likes to challenge society's beauty standards and helps ladies to create their own definition of femininity and beauty.

HAIR LOSS EDUCATION W/ Krysia West

Mon, 18 Oct 2021 06:00:00 +0100

HAIR LOSS EDUCATION

Krysia West established the Postiche Academy in 2020, after experiencing hair loss herself, she is passionate about hair and hair loss, and wanted to provide hair loss training for other stylists and hair professionals.

She recognised that there was little training for hairdressers and barbers on how to consult with clients on hair loss, and, after studying trichology, she wanted others to become an asset to their workplace by developing knowledge in this area.

As more and more clients are coming into the salon with hair loss and scalp problems, early recognition and referral could lead to prevention and will definitely give the best possible outcome for anyone experiencing hair loss.

We discuss a holistic approach to hairdressing, being able to care for and nurture our clients and who to collaborate with to build a network of professionals for support and guidance.

WHERE DOES YOUR HAIR COME FROM? ~ Ethically sourcing hair W/ Melanie Kirk

Mon, 11 Oct 2021 06:00:00 +0100

Website- Online Hair Extension Courses | Face to Face Hair Extension Courses | Bespoke Hair Extension Courses (arkitecthairextensionacademy.com)

WHERE DOES YOUR HAIR COME FROM?

Melanie Kirk from Arkitect Hair extension academy shares her incredible knowledge on hair extensions and where the hair comes from.

Melanie is in her own words totally obsessed with all things hair and hair extensions!
Having experienced hair loss herself, and working in the hair extensions business, she is passionate about ensuring that the hair she uses has been donated freely, going so far as to even visiting the source directly to ensure that there was a fair gain for the donors.
She is spreading awareness of the dark side of the industry, and explains the importance of ensuring that hair is not being collected in an unsustainable or immoral way.

Hair extensions are a $56.7 billion industry, and we have a responsibility as the consumer to support ethical trade practices- there are over 20,000 donations a day in India alone.
we discuss some of the more unregulated areas of the hair we are buying, such as the country of origin, and correct labelling and descriptions.

Todays episode will have you reflecting on the impact that consumerism can have around the world.

She also explains how there are 37 different types of hair extension methods, and how to ensure you are learning the correct methods for your business and target demographic.

Melanie also talks about how she can support your business, including aftercare following attendance of a course and how important this is.

HOLISTIC APPROACH TO HAIR LOSS W/ Heather Greene

Mon, 04 Oct 2021 06:00:00 +0100

HOLISTIC APPROACH TO HAIR LOSS

Heather Greene talks about taking a more holistic approach to hairdressing, after finding that using hair products all day caused sensitivity to her skin and hands, and she started to explore making a switch to more natural brands.

What's in a product?
We discuss 'clean' haircare products and how you can limit exposure to certain toxins, your 'toxic burden' by choosing better quality products for you and your clients, and being conscious of chemical services.

We also talk about finding more fulfilment within your career, more effective marketing strategies and how to work smarter not harder.

Heather is passionate about helping hairdressers and salons, and gives us a rundown of her 'conscious consultations' programme.

LIONS BARBER COLLECTIVE~ Familiar Stranger W/ Tom Chapman

Mon, 27 Sep 2021 06:00:00 +0100

LIONS BARBER COLLECTIVE

In 2014, Tom Chapman lost a friend to suicide.

In 2015, He founded the Lions Barber Collective.

The charity was set up in a bid to help the prevention of suicide.
His aim was to create a safe space to provide a vital source of mental health support facilitated by barbers across the country.
Barbers are trained to recognise signs and symptoms of mental health, and know what to do if someone opens up to them.

We talk about the importance of listening and talking to someone, and how to know when and where to refer clients for help.

Tom is passionate that clients be regarded holistically; they are not just marketing tools, and their wellbeing is important.

Tom shares his own experiences and we discuss how much of a barber's or hairdresser's role is already that of a therapist, that 'Familiar stranger' that we share so much with, including our thoughts, feelings and who we go through all our major life events with.

He hopes to create an offloading service for hairdressers, barbers and therapists where they can talk through any problems or worries they have and unload from a tough workday.

ACCEPTANCE~ The psychological impact of hair loss W/ Catherine Teal

Mon, 13 Sep 2021 05:00:00 +0100

ACCEPTANCE

Catherine specialises in counselling for hair loss, and we look at the psychological impact alopecia can have.

Living with alopecia herself, she can offer a unique insight into the grieving process for hair loss, and how to recognise unhelpful patterns, along with dealing with unpredictable or unstable hair loss patterns.

We discuss the stresses of returning to a normal life after lockdown and how you may underestimate your own ability to handle stressful situations.

Recognising contributing factors for hair loss ~ Finding the positives when bereavement & stress trigger Alopecia
After suffering a couple of majorly traumatic losses, Frederick shares how this triggered episodes of hairloss, and how he has come to recognise this as a sign to reduce the stress in his life and develop a greater level of self awareness.

Despite everything he has been through, we talk about how to overcome stress, and using the hair loss signs to his advantage,

Frederick's philosophy is to look for the silver lining in any situation and treat it as an opportunity for learning and growth.

How to overcome feeling judged and rebuild your confidence when experiencing perimenopausal hair loss

Mon, 24 May 2021 05:00:00 +0100

How to overcome feeling judged and rebuild your confidence when experiencing perimenopausal hair loss
I am very honoured to have Helen as a guest this week, who has had the courage to chat about her hair loss. Helen has never spoken to anyone about this before; not even her husband or family!

As a professional who's job involves public speaking, hair loss has really made a dent in Helen's confidence. She shares her story of how she has had to overcome her fear of feeling judged and appearing unprofessional because of her hair loss.

Nearing 50, and coming up to the menopause, a pressurised career and then the added stress of lockdown have all contributed to Helen experiencing shedding and thinner hair.

We discuss the pressure today to portray perfection and the path to self- acceptance.

Overcoming Alopecia Areata ~ How re-evaluating your work/ life balance can have a positive impact on your health
Faced with hair loss, and having a very busy, stressful lifestyle, Karoliina Saunders, a salon owner, educator and international session stylist, made the very bold decision to shave her head, despite believing that hair is a key part of a person's identity.

Along with re- evaluating her work- life balance, she has completely changed the way her salon operates to ensure the mental health and wellbeing of herself and her staff, as well as being able to offer her clients her complete time and attention for their whole visit. We talk about how she made the decision to slow down in her business and take a different approach to seeing her clients.

She also shares her own hair loss journey and talks about how she finds it empowering to know that she may be helping others who are going through the same thing by taking about it. It can be reassuring to know you are not alone, and how important it is to have someone to talk it through with.

We discuss choosing the right wig for you, how to get one personalised and cut, and how to look after it.

Cody G is a cancer survivor, and inventor of the C-Lash, a strip lash that can be worn comfortably even if you have no natural lashes.

We talk about her cancer diagnosis, parenting during such a difficult time, and rebuilding your life after fighting cancer.
How her adopting her 'lipstick and heels' mentality literally gave her a reason to get out of bed every morning and coming up from rock bottom.

Why your salon needs a hair loss specialist ~ W/ Mark Blake Trichologist
Fun fact: According to renowned Trichologist Mark Blake, the average person produces 36 metres of hair every day!

With 50% of the country suffering from some form of hair loss, I chat to Mark about how the affects of COVID and the pandemic may see this rise.

We discuss how can trichology be made more accessible, and how, with hair loss being such a prevalent concern, how every salon should consider having a hair loss specialist as part of their team.

Nutrition and treatments, including the use of cold caps during cancer treatments are touched upon, as well as the mental health & wellbeing aspect of losing your hair.

Mark describes what its like to offer the Luxury salon experience, as well as how to build trust with clients and patients. We also look at what the salon experience might be like in the future.

She talks about how and where she found support, losing your best feature and part of your identity and learning to love yourself more, and how her hair loss acts as a reminder to her to practice more self care and manage stress levels.
