Podcasts about hairstylists

I've never done an episode solely about coaching before, but as more salon owners than ever are either having a coach or wanting to become a coach, I think it's about time. Coaching has been one of the biggest game-changers in my own career and in the lives of hundreds of salon owners I've worked with across more than 14 countries. Yet for many, it's still a bit of a mystery.In this episode, I unpack what coaching is (and what it isn't), how it's different from mentoring, consulting, and teaching, and why it can accelerate your results in ways that books and courses alone can't. I share stories from my own journey, both as a coach and as someone who's been coached, and the qualities I believe you should look for (and avoid) when hiring one.If you've been quietly wondering whether coaching might be the right next step for you, this conversation will give you the clarity, confidence, and practical insight you need to decide. And yes, I'll tell you exactly how you can work with me before my prices go up later this year.IN THIS EPISODE:[02:19] Coaching's rise in the salon industry[06:55] The common thread between salon owners who seek coaching[09:41] How coaching brings clarity, confidence, and profit[11:02] What coaching is, and what it isn't[12:22] How my experience combines mentoring and coaching[12:36] What to look for when hiring a coach[14:12] What to avoid in a coach[15:58] How I help my coaching clients grow profit without extra stress[17:38] Why you don't need to figure it all out on your ownWant MORE to help you GROW?

Frederic Fekkai, the celebrity hairstylist and luxury brand mogul, was named in court documents by Virginia Roberts Giuffre as one of the individuals to whom Jeffrey Epstein allegedly trafficked her for sex. Giuffre's sworn testimony placed Fekkai among a group of elite men who, according to her account, participated in Epstein's trafficking ring by engaging in sexual acts with her while she was underage and under Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's control. Fekkai has denied the allegations and has not been charged with any crime, but his inclusion in the unsealed legal filings tied him to the wider web of high-profile names associated with Epstein's network of abuse and exploitation.Unlike some of the more politically prominent figures in Epstein's circle, Fekkai's alleged involvement drew relatively little media attention, despite the gravity of the accusations. He had previously cultivated an image rooted in fashion, luxury, and celebrity culture, with clientele that included some of the most powerful women in the world. His reported proximity to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell underscores the breadth and diversity of Epstein's social reach—stretching from Wall Street to Hollywood, from Buckingham Palace to beauty salons. While no further legal action has been taken against Fekkai, the mention of his name in Giuffre's testimony serves as yet another example of how Epstein's circle was studded with individuals from every corner of elite society, many of whom have faced little to no accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comhttps://www.thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epstein-flaunted-girls-after-his-arrest-at-frederic-fekkais-hair-salon-for-the-stars

Ryan Thomas Pearl, 37, was recently arrested by Miami-Dade County police during an undercover operation. The hairstylist to the stars had reportedly been messaging with a 15-year-old girl he'd met two years earlier while doing her hair. When the girl's mother reported Pearl to the police, they used the teen's accounts to lure Pearl to a meet-up. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber got unique insight on how these operations go down from Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson.PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW: Save time for your accountants with a clean, modern accounting software.

Send us a textHiring a stylist is hard. Retaining one is harder. Training them from scratch? That's where most salon owners throw in the towel. Todd and Jen believe that's exactly where the opportunity lies.In this episode, they break down their education funnel—the system they've built to train new hires (especially those straight out of cosmetology school) into fully booked, confident, high-performing stylists. From blow-dry assessments to client-ready test-outs, you'll hear exactly how they do it, how long it takes, and how it leads to stronger retention, higher performance, and long-term growth.Whether you're thinking about training your first stylist or looking to improve the education model inside your salon, this episode will help you build a path that scales with your business and supports your team.Key Topics Covered:[00:00] Stop Waiting for the “Unicorn” Hire [00:02] Jen's Story: Learning the Hard Way at Her First Salon [00:04] Daydreaming Won't Save Your Business—Systems Will [00:05] Todd's Opening Rant: $80 Haircuts, Facebook Negativity, and a Dying Industry Mindset [00:12] Stop Asking Facebook What a Lawyer or Accountant Should Answer [00:14] Building an Education Funnel [00:16] Going Wider Reduces Risk and Builds Retention [00:17] Why We Focus on Hiring Stylists Out of School [00:19] How a True Apprenticeship Works (And What States Offer It) [00:20] Are You a “Push Forward” or “Hold Back” Type Leader?

[00:49] Be Willing to Let People Go—If They're Not Growing, You're Shrinking [00:51] The Term “Apprenticeship” [00:52] Get on the Email ListKey Takeaways:Unicorn hires don't build sustainable businesses. Systems do.Stop outsourcing business decisions to Facebook. Talk to professionals.Create wins early and often. Your education system should evolve. What worked 5 years ago won't work now.Train transparently. Clients will respect your honesty if you lead with integrity.Hire slow, fire fast. Don't hold onto the wrong person just because training takes time.Education never ends. Even senior stylists should be reassessed regularly.Connect With Us:

Celeb Hairstylist Dead - How Fabio Sementilli's Wife Plotted His Murder With Her Side Guy Monica Sementilli lived a double life—suburban wife by day, murder conspirator by night. In this chilling true crime breakdown, we follow the brutal 2017 murder of celebrity hairstylist Fabio Sementilli, a man beloved in the beauty world but betrayed in the worst way by the woman he trusted most. Fabio was ambushed outside his Woodland Hills home, stabbed repeatedly in the neck and torso by Robert Baker—Monica's secret lover and a former porn actor. Monica had allegedly left the door unlocked, paving the way for the killers. The motive? A $1.6 million life insurance policy and the promise of freedom from divorce. Baker testified he acted alone out of love. But a jury didn't buy it. The prosecution called Monica the “prime mover” of the plot, arguing that Baker didn't have the brains for such a cleanly executed crime. They believed Monica orchestrated every detail—down to ensuring her daughter would be the one to find Fabio's mutilated body. She's now serving life without parole. Baker is also doing life. The third accomplice, Christopher Austin, got 16 to life. And Monica's family? They still insist she's innocent. This is a story of greed, lust, betrayal, and a horrifying end to what was once considered a fairy-tale life. Buckle in—this case gets dark. #monicasementilli #fabiosementilli #lifeinsuranceplot #truecrime #backyardmurder #killerwife #woodlandhillscrime #robertbaker #betrayalmurder #celebritycrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

There's good news for an Ennis hair salon, with members of their staff up for awards. Two of the team at Bridget Haren Hair & Beauty are up for the Generation Apprenticeship Apprentice of the Year 2025. To discuss this further Alan Morrissey was joined in-studio by Grainne Henry and Emma McDonnell.

In this episode, I'm diving into a conversation that might annoy some people, but it's a conversation that needs to be had. We've got a leadership crisis in our industry. Not because people don't care, but because too many salon owners don't realise what they signed up for when they opened their doors. Leadership isn't optional. It's the job.This episode is for every salon owner who wants their team to succeed but feels stuck, frustrated, or just plain exhausted. I'll break down why so many stylists aren't earning what they could be and why that's partially due to the leadership (or lack of it) they're working under. If you want a business that thrives and a team that sticks around, this one's for you.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Intro and recap of episode 291[02:15] The leadership gap that's hurting our industry[03:01] Why poor leadership creates poor productivity and pay[04:22] The difference between wanting to be paid more and earning more[06:45] The uncomfortable truth: it is about money[07:17] When the tail is wagging the dog, owners who've lost control[09:59] What real leadership looks like in successful businesses[11:42] Why people will leave and why that's okay[13:39] Leading by example (not micromanaging)[15:30] Why we avoid leadership and why it's still worth itWant MORE to help you GROW?

As a hairstylist, increasing your income isn't always about adding more, it's about deepening the way you communicate, consult, and recommend. In this episode, we explore the mindset shifts and soft skills that make all the difference. You'll learn how to remove the ick from sales by shifting your focus from pushing to partnering. From understanding the stories you tell yourself about selling, to crafting recommendations that actually help your clients feel seen and supported, this conversation goes deep into what it truly means to build trust behind the chair. We'll talk about how retail becomes a tool for transformation, how to simplify your systems, and how the care you give can create a lasting foundation, not just for your client relationships, but for your career. If you've ever struggled with selling retail, felt weird bringing up products, or want to serve better and earn more, this episode is for you.   Download our FREE full proof profit maker HERE: https://small-kiwi-98108.myflodesk.com/nlle1d1php We would love to hear from you, drop a review & we will add you into our next giveaway: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/successful-stylist-academy/id1584273127 Key Take-aways: 1. Ways of creating opportunities can happen simply by focusing on a specific problem. 2. What are the stories you tell yourself when it comes to providing a service and sales? 3. Delivery is everything. If we learn to deliver differently, we remove the ick from sales. 4. The repulsive sales feeling comes from someone thinking they're trying to take something from us. 5. Care vs. Commission. 6. Start with the recommendation through the consultation. 7. It's more of a partnership with your client, and you want to work together. 8. Care can be both about the care of the hair with the result in mind, but it can also be about helping the client feel less overwhelmed & learning how to repeat what we do behind the chair.  9. If you don't know or like the product, it's hard to talk about it. 10. Impact happens with passing knowledge onto our clients, because they spend more time with their hair than we as service providers do. 11. Retail builds trust, which builds a different foundation, and career. 12. Soft skills should happen in beauty school & with mentorship. 13. The art of being seen & heard is repeating back what you hear. 14. Ask what might be missing before starting the service.  15. Every time a client comes to see you, they left some other place, and they're coming to you for a reason.   16. Technology has made it possible that we communicate less, but with our industry, we need to communicate more. 17.Communication skills are vital to a successful foundation. Learn more about people and how you can provide exceptional care.  18. Life is a mirror not a window. 19. We have processes & procedures for everything else in our service, do the same for retail. 20. 4 parts: Captivate, fascinate, educate, close. 21. Find out what's most important to your clients. Then find out the What, why, how, when. 22. For a low-performing stylist, find out why your clients aren't purchasing from you.   23. Coach to the habits, not the numbers. 24. Every day, pick up 2-3 products and get to know the product.

In this episode, I sit down with long-time industry leader Keri Davis-Duffy, whose career as a salon owner and educator spans more than three decades. Keri shares the wisdom earned through real-life experience, leading employee-based salons in a state that turned compensation models on their head, navigating leadership challenges, building culture, and bouncing back from the inevitable setbacks every salon owner faces.We talk candidly about staff walkouts, transitioning to hourly pay, creating flexible schedules for today's workforce, and the crucial difference between being a great hairdresser and being a great business owner. Keri doesn't sugarcoat it; salon ownership today is a different game entirely, but she offers grounded, inspiring advice for those brave enough to take it on. If you're serious about building a business that lasts, you'll want to soak up every minute of this conversation.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Welcome and guest introduction[00:56] Keri's salon history and business model[04:17] Why she built an employee-based salon in a booth rental world[09:44] How California's labor laws changed compensation models[15:14] Designing an hourly pay system that rewards productivity[19:35] Tracking performance and managing seasonal fluctuations[24:07] Wisdom for new salon owners in 2025[30:13] The walkout that changed everything[34:05] Lessons in leadership and communication during crisis[38:26] Adapting to Gen Z and flexibility in scheduling[41:36] Biggest challenges facing the salon industry today[43:14] Quick-fire insights: manufacturers, educators, tragedy, drama & more[51:24] The value of mentorship and giving backWant MORE to help you GROW?

In today's episode, I want to get real about something that many salon owners don't like to hear… your team problems might not be about your team. They might actually be about you and your style of leadership.We talk about the difference between being “the boss” and being a true leader. Because if you want loyalty, innovation, trust, and long-term commitment from your people, barking orders or crossing your fingers and hoping for the best won't cut it. This episode is about finding the balance, between control and chaos, between command and collaboration. It's about stepping into leadership so you can build a salon culture that attracts and retains the right people and brings your vision to life.IN THIS EPISODE:[01:33] Boss, manager, leader or just owner? What's the difference?[03:01] Why leadership matters more than ever in salons[03:46] Is your team the problem… or is it you?[04:52] The struggle of finding balance as a salon owner[05:51] What real leadership looks like in practice[06:41] The cultural cost of “boss-style” management[07:26] How to begin your transition from boss to leader[08:46] Celebrate wins and acknowledge progress[09:35] Your team reflects your leadership[10:00] What happens when you grow as a leaderWant MORE to help you GROW?

It's a fascinating conversation about building confidence, communication, and community in the workplace, and the profound effect this has on the day-to-day salon environment.What I really loved about this chat is how naturally these initiatives grew into a cornerstone of Luke's business, creating a safe, supportive, and high-functioning team that clients notice and appreciate.

I know that the bulk of our listeners are not in the UK, but the changes happening to the UK hairdressing industry have been getting a lot of attention on social media, and as a result, I've had a lot of questions from hairdressers elsewhere.So, in this week's episode, I talk with Toby Dicker, co-founder of the Salon Employers Association, to discuss the critical tax challenges facing the UK salon industry.Following the recent march on Parliament by hairdressers protesting the unfair tax system, Toby provides a clear explanation of how VAT disproportionately impacts labour-intensive businesses like hair salons.We explore the uneven playing field between employee-based salon businesses and self-employed models, and how this disparity threatens the future of training, apprenticeships, and business growth in our industry. Toby shares insights from his work lobbying the government for change and the recent historic parliamentary debate on hairdressing. This conversation isn't just about numbers, it's about gaining respect for our profession and ensuring the continued creativity and excellence of British hairdressing.IN THIS EPISODE:[0:47] Introducing Toby Dicker and the Salon Employers Association[4:03] Simple overview of the VAT tax system in the UK[8:07] Explaining how the VAT system creates an uneven playing field[11:36] Impact on recruitment and apprenticeships[15:05] The disincentive to grow businesses due to the VAT threshold[18:15] Possible solutions to level the playing field[24:03] The concept of "disguised employment" explained[31:50] How businesses avoid crossing the VAT threshold[41:07] The historic parliamentary debate on hairdressing[47:24] How salon owners can get involved in the campaignWant MORE to help you GROW?
