En Partenariat avec le Salon Histoire de Lire 2025 À travers ce nouvel album, apprenez-en davantage sur l'évolution du groupe après l'intervention de Djibouti et jusqu'au départ de Christian Prouteau en 1983.En 1976, le GIGN accède enfin à la notoriété. Christian Prouteau doit néanmoins continuer à ruser pour obtenir des moyens afin de mener à bien les missions, et même lutter pour la survie du groupe. 1976-1983 est donc une période charnière dans l'histoire du GIGN : les techniques s'affinent, le groupe s'étoffe, les missions plus ou moins connues s'enchaînent avec succès. Mais cet engagement se paye au prix fort. En effet, cette période est aussi celle des premiers gendarmes morts à l'entraînement. 1983 marque un tournant dans cette histoire avec le départ de Christian Prouteau et de la plupart des dix-sept premiers membres. Découvrez dans cette BD l'histoire hors du commun durant laquelle le GIGN va démontrer son professionnalisme et appliquer les principes dictés par son fondateur dès la création du groupe en août 1973. Un travail de retranscription historique ultraréaliste et minutieux, validé et soutenu par Christian Prouteau lui-même, des anecdotes parfois inimaginables sur cette période charnière, très peu abordée. Plongez en immersion totale au sein de ce groupe d'intervention unique au monde.Christian Prouteau et l'auteur/illustrateur Poma sont nos invités en direct du Salon, à Versailles, pour les Interviews HistoireHébergé par Audiomeans.

This is the episode I never thought I'd record.After 16 years of running my award-winning salon, I've had to make one of the hardest business decisions of my life, to close its doors. Just weeks before moving to Dubai, I received notice that the building was being sold. What followed was shock, heartbreak, and a huge test of resilience.In this raw and honest conversation, I open up about the reality behind closing a long-standing business, how I supported my team through redundancies, and the unexpected lessons it's taught me about focus, letting go, and growth.If you're a salon owner, educator, or coach building your next chapter, this episode will remind you that sometimes the universe forces a pivot, not to break you, but to redirect you.In this episode, I share:What really happened when I got the call to vacate my salonThe emotional reality of letting go of your first businessHow I navigated redundancy and looked after my teamWhy multiple income streams saved me (and how to build them the right way)The power of focus and how it led to a £200k launch in my coaching businessWhy resilience is the number one skill every entrepreneur needsUPDATE: THE SALON BUILDING WAS SOLD IN THE END AND THE TEAM WAS EXTREMELY SUPPORTIVE. THE TEAM WAS GIVEN THE CLIENTS TO SET UP THEIR OWN BUSINESSES & THOSE THAT WANTED JOBS WE HELPED. COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER TEAM DURING THIS TIME. UNFORTUNATELY CLOSING THE SALON CAME WITH A LOT OF TROLLING WHICH I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH. Apply for the mastermind by clicking hereJoin one of my retreats here

En Partenariat avec le Salon Histoire de Lire 2025 Les Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry sont bien plus qu'un simple manuscrit. Célébré comme la « Joconde » des manuscrits, ce recueil d'offices et de prières personnalisé pour le duc de Berry, frère du roi Charles V, témoigne du faste et du raffinement artistique de la fin du Moyen Âge. Réalisé tout au long du XVe siècle sur vélin, à la détrempe, à l'or, à l'argent et à l'encre, ce livre exceptionnel compte parmi ses enlumineurs les frères Limbourg, éminents artistes attachés à la cour de Bourgogne puis de Berry. Composées de 121 miniatures, elles captivent par leurs représentations de châteaux historiques (Palais de la Cité, Palais du Louvre, château de Vincennes), de scènes princières et des travaux des champs rythmés par les saisons. Pour la première fois depuis la mort du prince en 1416, tous ses livres d'heures aujourd'hui connus sont réunis en un seul et même endroit. Cette rencontre au sommet, permise par les prêts des oeuvres les plus prestigieuses - dont les Belles Heures conservées au Metropolitan Museum of Art - est accompagnée par la présentation d'une grande partie de la bibliothèque du duc de Berry, l'une des plus fameuses du Moyen Âge.Marie-Pierre Dion est notre invitée en direct du Salon, à Versailles, pour les Interviews HistoireHébergé par Audiomeans.

In this episode, Cyd and David go off (lovingly) on the rise of woo-woo salons—the ones where your haircut somehow turns into an unsolicited aura reading, your schedule is set by the moon cycle, and “vibes” are doing more work than the actual business plan.They unpack:When spirituality and religion in the salon cross a line from “on brand” to “manipulative”Why your team and clients did not sign up to be part of your personal awakeningThe difference between building a clear brand experience vs. blindsiding people with energy workTroll comments like “no pain, no gain” and why DTH exists specifically so the next generation doesn't have to suffer the way the last one didHow Destroy The Hairdresser's “disruptive” branding triggers people who haven't actually looked at the resultsAnd of course, they circle it back to hourly pricing, boundaries, and critical thinking as the actual structure that lets you build any kind of salon—woo, churchy, ultra-clinical, whatever—without burning everyone out.

En Partenariat avec le Salon Histoire de Lire 2025 Plus de quatre-vingts ans après sa disparition, le régime de Vichy continue de hanter notre mémoire collective. En quelques jours, en juillet 1940, la République s'est effondrée. Derrière le maréchal Pétain, héros national devenu chef de l'État français, et le politicien sans scrupules Pierre Laval, des opportunistes jouant la carte allemande et des doctrinaires d'extrême droite prennent le pouvoir. La dictature s'installe, pour le pire. Optant pour la collaboration politique en 1940, choisissant la voie du crime antisémite en 1942, le gouvernement finit par dresser quasiment toute la population contre lui.Cette page sombre est ici racontée comme jamais auparavant, à partir d'archives inédites, des derniers témoignages exhumés et d'approches historiques renouvelées, attentives aux ressorts psychologiques, à la complexité des parcours et aux marges de manœuvre des acteurs.Au fil de la lecture, apparaît ainsi un tableau pénétrant et contrasté. L'ouvrage montre à la fois la fuite en avant et l'aveuglement égotiste des principaux dirigeants du régime pétainiste, la mise en œuvre de politiques criminelles parfois tempérée par des fonctionnaires formant une véritable zone grise au cœur de l'État, et une opinion publique longtemps attentiste mais inclinant en faveur des Alliés.Une réflexion puissante sur les conséquences funestes de l'amoralité en politique et des conclusions historiques qui interrogent notre présent.Laurent Joly est notre invité en direct du Salon, à Versailles, pour les Interviews HistoireHébergé par Audiomeans.

Czy możemy udowodnić sobie, że w danym momencie na pewno nie śnimy? I czy są poeci, którzy kierują swoich czytelników „na zaplecza, do magazynów małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw”, by tam rozpoczynać dyskusje o prawie pracowniczym? Jak wygląda książka poetycka, w której obraz arkadyjskiej łąki zestawiony jest z katastroficzną wizją miasta? W dzisiejszym odcinku zapis Salonu Silesiusa – poetyckiego spotkania, którego bohaterami byli Jakub Sęczyk (z książką „Kwaśne obole”) oraz Adrian Tujek (z książką „Antoś, pobudka”).

We closed out the year with a special live recording of the Flagship Podcast in collaboration with AI Salon at Mila, a packed evening featuring a Montréal VC panel, an AI founder roundtable, and a fireside keynote with Sam Ramadori (BrainBox AI, now co-president of Law Zero). Across all three segments, one theme dominated: AI is moving faster than any tech cycle before it, and Canada has a once-in-a-generation chance to lead. VC Panel,  Navigating the AI Wave Investors from Inovia, White Star, and Amiral Ventures explored the chaos and opportunity of today's market. The AI cycle is "psychotic" in speed and scope, but the fundamentals still matter: strong teams, sticky products, real customer value. The best startups will use AI as an enabler, not the product, and differentiate through privileged data, deep domain expertise, and the ability to deliver ROI, not hype. Founder Panel,  Building Real AI Companies in Montréal Budpress, Maxa, and Wrk shared candid takes from the front lines: why traditional SaaS is being rewritten, how open-source models and reasoning engines are changing the game, and why Montréal remains one of the best bases in the world for AI talent and cost-efficient scaling. The founders stressed that Canada must shed its "small market" mindset, big outcomes are possible here. Keynote with Sam Ramadori,  AI, Climate, and Responsibility Sam recounted his unlikely journey from private equity to leading BrainBox AI through an acquisition, and why he's now dedicating himself to Law Zero, a nonprofit effort led by Yoshua Bengio to build safer, more reliable AI systems. His message was clear: Canada has extraordinary AI talent, but must rally around sovereignty, responsible innovation, and deeper collaboration to avoid being squeezed between global superpowers. The night ended with a message to the community: this is our moment. We have world-class research, world-class founders, and a fast-maturing ecosystem. If we choose ambition, and support one another, Montréal can be one of the defining AI hubs of this decade.

400 maisons d'édition venues du monde entier, des milliers d'autrices et d'auteurs, et un thème, l'Art de l'autre, qui célèbre l'empathie et la curiosité : le Salon du Livre et de la Presse jeunesse est ouvert aux petits et aux grands à partir de ce mercredi 26 novembre 2025.  Les dernières études montrent un recul marqué de la lecture chez les jeunes qui lisent moins souvent et moins longtemps – seulement 19 minutes par jour en moyenne – et peinent davantage à se concentrer. Pour autant, l'offre jeunesse n'a jamais été aussi abondante (elle représente actuellement 13% des ventes de livres en France) et propose de nombreuses pistes pour reconnecter les jeunes au plaisir de lire. Les BD, mangas et comics dominent largement leurs lectures, tandis que les romans, bien que toujours présents, reculent légèrement.  Le Salon du Livre et de la Presse Jeunesse, depuis sa première édition en 1984, reste le rendez-vous incontournable (et gratuit) des jeunes lecteurs. Parmi les propositions exposées cette année, Le Dinosaulyre de Guillaume Métayer, «un livre pour les enfants de 7 à 117 ans» ; et Pirates en Enfer, de Lucas Scholtes, l'histoire d'une bande de pirates coincée dans les neuf cercles de l'Enfer qui tente de trouver une porte de sortie. Deux auteurs qui fabriquent l'imaginaire des adultes de demain.  Invités : Guillaume Métayer, poète et chercheur en Lettres et en Philosophie. Spécialiste de Nietzsche et d'Anatole France, il est agrégé de Lettres classiques, germaniste et traducteur littéraire de l'allemand et du hongrois. Son livre, Le Dinosaulyre (suivi de l'Etymosaure), illustré par Djohr, propose un voyage dans le temps à dos de dinosaure pour aller jusqu'à la préhistoire de la langue française et en décortiquer les étymologies   Lucas Scholtes, illustrateur et auteur de romans graphiques. Pirates en Enfer est une BD inspirée de son mémoire d'étude, et revisite le lore dantesque des Enfers, mais aussi celui de la piraterie. Le jeune dessinateur signe le scénario, les dialogues et le dessin de l'ouvrage. La BD a reçu le soutien du Centre national du livre.  ► La 41è édition du Salon du Livre et de la Presse jeunesse se tient du 26 novembre au 1ᵉʳ décembre 2025 à Paris Montreuil Expo en Seine-Saint-Denis.  Et la chronique la Puce à l'oreille de Lucie Bouteloup, qui décrypte le langage texto à l'occasion du 33è anniversaire de l'apparition du SMS.  Programmation musicale : Requin Chagrin - Parachute.

In this episode of the Successful Stylist Academy Podcast, Ambrosia pulls back the curtain on one of the most confusing parts of running a profitable business as an independent stylist or salon owner: where your money actually goes. Instead of just looking at your bank balance and hoping for the best, she walks you through a simple "waterfall" visual so you can see how every dollar flows through your business, into costs, marketing, overhead, education, and finally: profit. You'll learn realistic percentage benchmarks for each category, the most common money leaks that silently eat into your income, and how to fix them without adding more hours behind the chair. If you've ever felt busy but not truly profitable, this conversation will help you reclaim your confidence, your cash flow, and your long-term freedom.

Drop a review here & tell us what you want to hear more of: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/successful-stylist-academy/id1584273127 Key Take-Aways: 1. Think of your business like a waterfall, not just a bank balance. 2. Money flows from the faucet into a series of "glass cups" : direct costs, client acquisition, overhead, growth, and finally profit. 3. When you see each glass clearly, you stop assuming all the money in your bank account is truly yours and start treating it as money with a job.   4. Get clear on your direct costs (COGS) so every bowl of color is profitable.  5. Direct costs include anything you touch, mix, or use on your client: color, lightener, developer, foils, gloves, towels, shampoo, conditioner, cleaning supplies, and even credit card fees.  6. Aim to keep these costs around 10–12% of your total revenue, and know that once you creep toward 15–20%, it is a danger zone and a clear sign you need a price increase.  7. Stop overordering and start pricing services with product usage in mind. 8. Common leaks include buying too much inventory, letting products expire, turning unsold retail into backbar, and never updating prices when suppliers raise theirs. 9. Fix this by using systems or software to track inventory, calculating your cost per scoop or per gram, and doing a quick monthly inventory check so your shelves are lean and intentional, not a graveyard of old product.   10. Track your Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) so your marketing actually pays you back. 11. Your CAC includes ads, promos, new client discounts, referral rewards, branding shoots, social media time, website, and booking software that help you get clients in the door. 12. A healthy benchmark is 5–10% of your revenue, and a simple formula is: if you spend $200 on ads and get 5 new clients, your CAC is $40 per client and each client should bring in at least four times that in lifetime value.   13. Prioritize retention over constant hustle for new clients. 14. Common mistakes are chasing visibility without conversion, not tracking where new clients come from, and focusing more on strangers online than on the guests already in your chair. 15. Track first-time versus repeat clients monthly, create a simple referral system with a clear reward, and double down on the platforms and efforts that are actually sending you clients, not just likes.  16. Audit your overhead before it quietly drains your profit. 17. Overhead includes rent or booth rent, utilities, Wi-Fi, insurance, software, accounting, subscriptions, cleaning, payroll taxes, and benefits. 18. Ideally, this lands between 35–45% of your total revenue, and when it creeps toward 50% or higher, you either need to cut costs, raise prices, or both to keep your business from tipping upside down.   19. Be ruthless with subscriptions and intentional with tax planning. 20.Typical leaks are paying for apps and tools you no longer use, overspending on décor or space that does not match your income level, and failing to save ahead for taxes. 21. Quarterly, comb through subscriptions, automate your bookkeeping and reports, and move around 30% of your profit into a separate tax or high-yield savings account so you are not surprised at year-end.  22. Treat education, events, and travel as growth costs; not automatic write-offs. 23. Hair shows, classes, coaching, membership programs, flights, hotels, and meals are powerful when they are strategic, but expensive when they are random. 24. Try to keep these growth costs under about 8–10% of your annual revenue, give every class a clear action plan for how you will turn it into income, and look for ways to turn trips into content, offers, or digital assets you can reuse.   25. Decide how your profit will be divided before it hits your account. 26. Profit is what remains after all buckets are filled, and it is not the same as your paycheck.  27. A sample breakdown is: 30% for taxes, 10% for emergency reserves, 10–15% to reinvest in education, marketing, or tools, and 45–55% to pay yourself, so every dollar has a purpose instead of disappearing.  28. Do a simple money audit and fix just one leak this month. 29. Look at last month's income and write down what you spent on supplies, client acquisition, overhead, and education, then see what was truly left as profit.   Get 15% off Pharmagel, our favorite skincare line with code SSA15: http://www.pharmagel.net/discount/ssa15?redirect=%2F%3Fafmc%3Dssa15

Suddenly, media outlets seem to have figured out that President Donald Trump is really, really unpopular. There's been a palpable shift in the discourse: The New York Times reports that Republicans are quietly looking beyond Trump, suggesting he's losing his grip on the party. Axios claims that it's “red alert” time for Trump and the GOP. Politico describes how Republicans are getting routed in school board races, a sign that MAGA culture-warring has lost its sway and is even backfiring. And one CNN analyst offers a brutal reading of recent approval numbers on Trump, pronouncing them “atrocious.” We talked to Salon's Amanda Marcotte, who regularly dissects MAGA and media foibles alike. We discuss why the political media smells blood, how deepening splits in MAGA show Trump's weakness, what it means that the Trump-MAGA culture war and immigration raids are badly alienating ordinary voters, and how Trump is in a potentially irreversible tailspin.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Kati welcomes celebrity stylist and educator Jill Buck to share how she took control of her career and built a high-value, high-demand business model—both behind the chair at 901 Salon in West Hollywood and as a traveling stylist for A-list clients. Jill opens up about her 22-year journey from Oregon to LA, how she transitioned to on-location work during COVID, and the strategies she uses today to ensure she only books profitable full transformations and color changes. She reveals her $800–$1,000 minimum color ticket mindset, why she now conducts consultations via email, and how she empowers younger stylists by routing lower-tier services their way. Jill also dives into 901's luxury VIP experience, the independent stylist-assistant model shaped by California labor laws, and how she maintains work-life balance while launching her handmade accessory line and working on "Dancing with the Stars."

Suddenly, media outlets seem to have figured out that President Donald Trump is really, really unpopular. There's been a palpable shift in the discourse: The New York Times reports that Republicans are quietly looking beyond Trump, suggesting he's losing his grip on the party. Axios claims that it's “red alert” time for Trump and the GOP. Politico describes how Republicans are getting routed in school board races, a sign that MAGA culture-warring has lost its sway and is even backfiring. And one CNN analyst offers a brutal reading of recent approval numbers on Trump, pronouncing them “atrocious.” We talked to Salon's Amanda Marcotte, who regularly dissects MAGA and media foibles alike.

Send us a textIn Part 3 of our 2026 Salon Industry Predictions series, we're breaking down the areas that will matter most for long-term success: culture, branding, leadership, and mentorship. The truth is simple: you can have education, technology, beautiful décor, and the best skill in town, but without strong culture and leadership, none of it creates a sustainable business.In this episode, we talk about why culture must become a system, not a vibe; why clients are drawn to salons where they feel seen and valued; why décor means nothing without energy; and why your branding is no longer aesthetic, it's emotional identity shaped by your clients' experiences.We also dive deep into modern leadership: growing people, building opportunities, hiring for alignment (not desperation), and understanding that everything in your business is your responsibility. We cover how mentorship will reshape the industry, how “copy-and-paste leadership” will collapse, and why legacy will matter more than ego in 2026.If you want your salon to move from the B-tier to the A-tier, you must change how you lead, hire, and support the people in your business. This episode gives you the blueprint.Key TakeawaysCulture must move from “vibe” to a measurable system.Weak cultures will collapse under their own weight.Clients choose salons where they feel safe, seen, and valued.Branding becomes emotional identity, not visuals.Atmosphere is created by energy, not interior design.Hiring must shift from desperation to alignment.Leadership is about growing people, not being the best technician.Mentorship becomes the engine of career & business development.Copy-and-paste leadership collapses — identity matters.Legacy > ego; real leadership is measured by the lives you change.Everything in your business is your responsibility.Time Stamps00:00 — Welcome + Part 3 focus (culture, branding, leadership, mentorship) 01:00 — Why culture + leadership outweigh education, skill, or décor 02:00 — Opening Takes: New hires, feedback, modern KPIs 06:00 — Culture as a system, not personality 08:00 — Weak cultures collapsing; client distrust; salons closing 10:00 — Clients want to feel seen, valued, and understood 12:00 — Branding shifts from aesthetics → emotional identity 15:00 — Energy > décor; how real atmosphere is created 17:00 — Hiring for value alignment, not desperation 19:00 — Client avatars, ideal clients, and retention 20:00 — Leadership: imitation collapses; identity matters 23:00 — Growing people as the core leadership function 26:00 — Owners must shift from technician → architect 29:00 — Mentorship becomes essential for progress 33:00 — Industry coaching problems + needed evolution 35:00 — Lone wolf leadership collapses; collaboration wins 38:00 — Legacy > ego; awards + status symbols decline 42:00 — Brutal truth: everything is your responsibility 45:00 — Final thoughts + closingLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

1993 und 1995 gründen Sabine Werth und Bernd Siggelkow unabhängig voneinander zwei deutsche Institutionen: Die Berlinerin Werth rettet mit der Tafel Lebensmittel, um sie an ärmere Haushalte zu verteilen. Der Hamburger Pastor Siggelkow kümmert sich in der Arche um vernachlässigte Kinder. Ein Ende ihrer Arbeit? Ist nicht in Sicht.Im "ntv Salon" teilen beide den Eindruck: Deutschland versagt im Kampf gegen Armut, speziell bei Kindern. "Ein Drittel unserer Gäste sind Kinder und Jugendliche. Bundesweit. Manchmal in der dritten oder vierten Generation", sagt Werth im Live-Podcast. Auch Siggelkow stellt keine Verbesserung fest. Die Arche betreut ihm zufolge täglich etwa 11.000 Kinder. "Das ist ein Armutszeugnis", sagt der Pastor. "Der Erfolg der Arche ist der Misserfolg der Gesellschaft."Das fehlende politische Interesse erklären sich die Sozialpädagogin und der Sozialarbeiter mit dem fehlenden politischen Mehrwert. "Kinder haben keine Wählerstimmen", sagt Siggelkow. Ihm zufolge schafft sich die Politik durch ihre Untätigkeit selbst ab: "Staat und Politik versagen und überlassen den extremen Parteien das Feld."Die beiden Gäste im "ntv Salon"Sabine Werth, Sozialpädagogin, Mitbegründerin und ehrenamtliche Vorsitzende der ersten Tafel Deutschlands, der Berliner Tafel (1993).Bernd Siggelkow, Sozialarbeiter und Pastor, Gründer und Vorsitzender der Kinderstiftung "Die Arche" (1995)Moderation: Sabine Oelmann und Tilman AretzSie haben Fragen?

Sometimes in the salon business we get so "busy being busy" in November in December that our relationships with clients suffer, and that can  lead to a January and February that are slower than they have to be. Summit salon Coach Chad Faass is back to help you navigate the next few months. For salon owners, Chad talks about the importance of showing up for your team consistently, without doing team members' work for them or micromanaging. (Don't go from hero to villian!) Boost morale and save money with an early holiday party, and boost sales by gamifying retail knowledge and other team engagement activities. For stylists, Chad and Blake have advice on how to keep conversations with guests positive in difficult political times, and to offer packages, discounts and simpler services to incentivize them to rebook in January and February. Plus, advice on how to bring in referrals, and make the best out of the slow times. Chad Fass on Instagram -- DM him for team engagement exercisesLearn more about Chad Faass and schedule a discovery call.  Follow Summit Salon Business Center on Instagram @SummitSalon, and on TikTok at SummitSalon.

What if one solution to fashion's waste problem is literally growing on our own heads? Every day, salons around the world toss out millions of pounds of freshly cut human hair — a clean, protein-rich, renewable resource that mostly ends up in landfills or incinerators. But what if that so-called waste could become the next sustainable textile? My guest on this episode, Zsofia Kollar, is the founder and CEO of Human Material Loop, a Netherlands-based startup turning salon hair waste into a high-performance fibre that behaves like wool — but with 43 times lower CO₂ emissions, 20 times less water use, and none of the animal cruelty or plastics. Their branded fiber, called Adara, is already being spun into things like carpets, curtains, and acoustic panels — and it's made from something we all grow ourselves. In this conversation, Zsofia and I talk about how she got the idea to build an entire materials company out of human hair, how her technology works, why hair is such a strong and versatile material, the "ick" factor of human-derived fibres, and how she's scaling her model so that salons and HML benefit alike. If you think using human hair in textiles sounds strange, stick around — because by the end of this episode, you might just want a carpet made from your own cut-offs. I'll let Zsofia make the case. Discussed in this episode Washington Post coverage of Human Material Loop's work. Vogue and CNN have covered their work, too. Zoroastrians sometimes practice sky burial on a Tower of Silence, in which vultures are allowed to consume a recently deceased human. Our past episode on human composting with Recompose. Get to Know Zsofia Kollar Zsofia Kollar is a forward-thinking entrepreneur passionate about sustainable innovation. Science and design are crucial in the company's development. After her experience running an independent design studio, Zsofia was driven to reimagine waste management, focusing particularly on hair waste. Her goal is to foster collaboration and innovation for a more sustainable future. Human Material Loop demonstrates that sustainability and economic growth can coexist. Zsofia's dedication extends beyond her CEO role—she's also a published author and university lecturer, inspiring others in design and sustainability. Her vision entails holistic sustainability, where science, design, and collaboration reshape waste management and drive innovation.
