Podcasts about salons

The difference between a good salon and a world-class one isn't talent. It's standards, and the leadership to hold them.In this episode, I take inspiration from the Netflix series Being Gordon Ramsay and unpack what it really takes to build a world-class business, whether that's a restaurant or a salon. Because when you strip it back, the fundamentals are the same. It's not about talent alone. It's about standards, leadership, and the culture you create.I talk about the obsession with detail that separates good from exceptional, why leadership isn't always comfortable (but it is necessary), and how the best teams operate as a unit, not a group of individuals. These are practical insights you can apply immediately in your salon.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Introduction and why this matters for salon owners[00:48] Lessons from The Bear and restaurant culture[02:21] Why Being Gordon Ramsay is worth watching[04:00] The 3 pillars: standards, leadership, and pride[04:31] Why standards, not talent, drive excellence[06:30] The power of attention to detail[07:40] Leadership, clarity, and responsibility[08:44] Finding the breaking points in your business[10:12] Respect for craft and raising standards[12:12] From employees to custodians of the brand[13:35] The big question: what are you building?WANT MORE TO HELP YOU GROW?

Wir springen in dieser Folge ins England des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts. Hier entwickelt sich Sarah Biffin zu einer der bekanntesten Miniaturmalerinnen ihrer Zeit. Außergewöhnlich ist das nicht nur, weil sie sich als Frau in der britischen Kunstwelt behauptet, sondern auch, weil sie ohne Arme und Beine zur Welt kam. Wir sprechen darüber, wie Sarah Biffin vom Jahrmarkt in die Ateliers und Salons aufstieg, warum ihre Miniaturporträts so viele Menschen beeindruckten und was ihre Geschichte über Talent, Ausdauer und gesellschaftliche Grenzen im 19. Jahrhundert erzählt. // Erwähnte Episoden - GAG107: Eine kurze Geschichte der Guillotine – https://gadg.fm/107 - GAG274: Das Petzvalobjektiv – https://gadg.fm/274 - GAG328: P. T.

durée : 00:03:21 - Un monde connecté - par : François Saltiel - Deux journaux suédois, le "Svenska Dagbladet" et le "Göteborgs-Posten", viennent de sortir une enquête commune où ils recueillent les témoignages au Kenya d'annotateurs de l'IA qui révèlent être, malgré eux, spectateurs de la vie privée de nombreux utilisateurs.

Nous sommes le 15 octobre 1906, à Aix-en-Provence. Ce jour-là, Paul Cézanne s'effondre en pleine séance de travail, surpris par un violent orage alors qu'il peint en extérieur. Il va rester de longues heures sous la pluie. Trempé, fiévreux, il est finalement ramené chez lui par un passant qui le transporte dans une charrette. Alité mais toujours animé par sa passion du travail, il tente encore de peindre dans les jours qui suivent. Mais il meurt, une semaine plus tard, à l'âge de 67 ans, victime d'une pneumonie. Cézanne n'a jamais cessé de revenir aux paysages de son enfance. Peintre secret, il suit obstinément son propre chemin, loin des modes et des écoles. Il invente une nouvelle manière de peindre, résultat d'une construction lente, patiente, où les touches de couleur bâtissent les formes comme des pierres. La montagne Sainte Victoire est son motif fétiche, presque une obsession. Il l'a représentée sous toutes les lumières, comme s'il cherchait à en saisir la structure profonde. Ses natures mortes annoncent les révolutions artistiques du XXᵉ siècle. Picasso dira de lui : « … c'est le père de nous tous. » Longtemps rejeté par les Salons officiels, mal compris par le public, Cézanne ne connaîtra la reconnaissance que tardivement. Et pourtant, sans lui, ni le cubisme, ni le fauvisme ne seraient ce qu'ils sont. Cézanne est celui qui a su transformer la nature en architecture… Il est le père de l'Art moderne… Avec Anne Hustache, historienne de l'art. Sujets traités : Paul Cézanne, Aix-en-Provence, Sainte Victoire, Picasso, nature, moderne Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Melanye “Dr. Mac.” Maclin joins Rushion McDonald to discuss the serious health risks associated with hair relaxers, permanent dyes, and synthetic braids—particularly among Black women. Drawing from over 25 years of research and patient experience, she explains how chemicals used in these products absorb through the scalp, disrupt hormones, and significantly increase the risks of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, early puberty, fibroids, and infertility. The conversation also highlights systemic resistance from the beauty industry, government agencies, and even consumers themselves—primarily due to financial incentives and lack of awareness. Dr. Mac advocates for safer hair practices, increased education, and protective measures to reduce exposure. She also discusses her pioneering internal hair‑health supplements, Bella Nutri, for women (2004) and men (2008), and how she helped introduce the U.S. market to nutritional hair support long before it was mainstream. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is to: 1. Educate listeners about the hidden health dangers …of chemical hair treatments including relaxers, permanent dyes, and synthetic hair containing benzene. 2. Advocate for informed hair‑care decisions Dr. Mac wants women—especially Black women—to understand how beauty practices impact long‑term health. 3. Encourage the beauty industry to adopt safety protocols Such as scalp protection, warning labels, and honest communication about risks. 4. Highlight Dr. Mac’s work and products Including her Bella Nutri supplements and educational platforms (Ask Dr. Mac). 5. Empower parents to protect children By avoiding chemical treatments on young girls whose bodies are especially vulnerable. Key Takeaways 1. Chemical relaxers and permanent hair dyes are strongly linked to increased cancer risks. Permanent dyes raise the risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. Black women exhibit a 45% increased risk of breast cancer when using permanent dyes. Combining dyes with relaxers significantly compounds the danger. 2. The danger comes from chemical absorption into the scalp. Relaxer chemicals include sodium, calcium, guanine, and lithium hydroxide. These chemicals burn through the scalp, entering the bloodstream and disrupting hormones, leading to early puberty, fibroids, infertility, and cancer. 3. Synthetic braiding hair contains benzene—a carcinogen. Benzene exposure affects both the stylist and the client. Risks include lung cancer and leukemia. 4. The beauty industry resists change because of profit. Salons rarely display warnings because “it affects business.” The relaxer–damage→hair‑loss→extensions cycle creates a lucrative revenue loop. 5. Children are especially vulnerable to chemical exposure. Relaxers on children under 10 can cause: early puberty fibroids infertility early hysterectomies increased cancer risk Dr. Mac advises never relaxing a child’s hair, but if done, the product must stay on no more than 5–10 minutes with complete scalp protection. 6. Scalp protection is essential for anyone still using relaxers. Use petroleum jelly over the entire scalp, not just the hairline. This reduces chemical absorption during both application and rinsing. 7. Dr. Mac pioneered the U.S. hair‑supplement industry. Developed Bella Nutri after research with a Finnish company (Scalp). Initially dismissed as a “witch doctor,” but now the hair‑supplement market is mainstream. 8. She refuses to participate in relaxer‑related lawsuits. Because she has warned people for 20+ years, she cannot ethically testify for those who ignored repeated warnings. Notable Quotes On the impact of chemicals: “The chemicals burn through the scalp… getting into the main bloodstream and causing hormone disruption.” On the increased cancer risk: “African‑Americans have a more than 45% increased risk when we use permanent hair dyes.” On synthetic braids: “As long as that synthetic hair is on her head, she is breathing in benzene.” On industry pushback: “People are about the green‑eyed devil called money.” On relaxing children’s hair: “Hopefully a mother doesn’t take her child to get a relaxer.” “Hair chemicals can lead to early puberty, fibroids, infertility, even hysterectomies before age 40.” On the vicious cycle of damage and profit: “It’s a 360‑degree money‑making cycle.” On caring more than her patients: “I feel like I’m caring more about someone’s health than they are caring about their own.” On pioneering supplements: “Hair and skin are internal organs—they manifest externally.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Aujourd'hui, je vous propose de rencontrer Isabelle, Nathalie et Nastassia, le trio passionné qui organise depuis une trentaine d'années les salons Tendances Créatives et désormais, Pour l'amour du fil, le célèbre salon nantais. Comment se monte un événement qui rassemble des milliers de passionné·e·s ? Quels sont les défis et les joies de ce métier de l'ombre ? Comment le marché du DIY a-t-il évolué ? Nous allons parler ensemble de tout ça, mais aussi de l'importance de la transmission et de la rencontre "en vrai" à l'heure du tout digital. Nous évoquerons aussi la reprise du salon Pour l'amour du fil, ce qui fait son ADN si particulier mais aussi ses nouveautés. Un échange passionnant et très transparent sur un univers qui nous rassemble toutes et tous. Avant de vous laisser écouter cette conversation, je fais une mini parenthèse pour remercier très sincèrement l'équipe de Tendances Créatives / Pour l'amour du fil pour son soutien en finançant cet épisode ! Vous le savez, je n'ai que deux sources de financement pour ce que je vous propose avec Fait Main : votre adhésion au Club Fait Main pour avoir des épisodes supplémentaires et les partenariats avec les marques créatives. Je ne reçois absolument aucun revenu pour vos écoutes sur Spotify et cie et à peine quelques euros par mois pour vos écoutes sur YouTube. Je n'accepte que des partenariats qui font sens et celui-ci en fait évidemment partie !

Il y a des façons d'aller chercher des clients auxquelles on ne pense pas toujours.Récemment, une discussion m'a donné envie d'attirer ton attention sur les salons professionnels.Pas comme visiteur, mais comme terrain de prospection auprès des exposants.Dans cette Minute Marine, je te partage pourquoi je trouve cette approche intéressante,et j'élargis la réflexion aux événements, fédérations et écosystèmes propres à ta niche.Est-ce qu'il existe, dans ton secteur, des événements où tu peux aller à la rencontre de tes prospects… ou de personnes qui peuvent t'en rapprocher ?(Pour me répondre, envoie-moi un mp sur Linkedin

Für diese besondere Folge von Thores Tea Time Tour nehme ich im Salon DT Exklusiv Platz – mitten im Salon, mitten im echten Leben der Friseurbranche. Es wird ein intensives Vierer-Gespräch: Ich als Moderator im Austausch mit drei Friseurpersönlichkeiten, die ihren Beruf nicht nur ausüben, sondern l(i)eben. Mit dabei sind Scarlet Matzdorff, Daniela Thomsen und Thomas Brockmann-Knödler – international tätiger Star-Friseur mit Salons unter anderem in Dubai und Geschäftsführer der Firma Orgaenic. Mein Podcast-Sponsor: Osmers Rechtsanwälte aus Husum Die Osmers Rechtsanwälte stehen für lösungsorientierte Rechtsberatung mit klaren Zielen und echter Hands-on-Mentalität – an der Küste verwurzelt, in der Beratung bundesweit aktiv. Ob Unternehmen, Kommunen oder Privatpersonen: Das Team bringt dich rechtlich sicher durch stürmische Gewässer. Und wer Lust auf eine Karriere in der Praxis hat – Osmers sucht junge Rechtsanwälte und engagierte Rechtsanwaltsfachangestellte/-fachkräfte (ReNos), die mit anpacken und mitwachsen wollen. Danke an Osmers Rechtsanwälte – gemeinsam klären wir nicht nur Rechtsfragen, sondern gestalten Zukunft! Im Mittelpunkt steht der Fachkräftemangel in der Friseurbranche – und die unbequemen Fragen dahinter. Wir sprechen offen über Mentalität, Leistungsbereitschaft und die viel diskutierte Generation Z: Haben junge Menschen wirklich keine Lust mehr zu arbeiten? Oder passen alte Strukturen einfach nicht mehr zur heutigen Realität? Was muss sich gesellschaftlich, betrieblich und im Mindset verändern, damit Arbeit wieder Sinn, Stolz und Perspektive vermittelt – und auch Einsatz über das absolute Minimum hinaus möglich wird? Thomas Brockmann Knödler gibt zudem tiefe Einblicke in Orgaenic und erklärt, wie dieses System Friseursalons helfen kann, wirtschaftlich stabiler, planbarer und nachhaltiger zu arbeiten – und warum das sogar dazu führt, dass Endkundinnen und Endkunden seltener zum Friseur müssen, ohne dass der Salon verliert. Ein ehrlicher, respektvoller und zugleich meinungsstarker Austausch zwischen drei Friseuren aus Leidenschaft. Branchenrealität statt Hochglanz, Haltung statt Floskeln – direkt aus dem Salon, direkt ins Ohr

  Ernst Crameri ist zurück im Beauty- & Wellness-Bereich Was für eine Schlagzeile und was für eine Geschichte dahinter     Liebe Newsletter-Leser,   manchmal ruft uns das Leben zurück zu unseren Wurzeln. Leise und sanft. Und irgendwann ist es klar, dass wir nicht mehr weghören können.   Hier kannst du dir den Newsletter anhören oder anschauen   Viele wissen es heute gar nicht mehr: Ich war jahrzehntelang intensiv im Beauty- & Wellness-Bereich tätig. Ich habe zehntausende Frauen ausgebildet – Beauty- & Wellness-Spezialistinnen, Ganzkörper-Therapeutinnen, Menschen mit Herz für Berührung und Ganzheitlichkeit.   Denn ich bin ursprünglich Therapeut.   Davor habe ich eine kaufmännische Lehre gemacht in St. Moritz und sehr schnell gespürt: Mein Weg führt zu den Menschen.   Vor 38 Jahren die eigene Naturkosmetik-Serie entwickelt. Sie ist bis heute erfolgreich im Markt, mit treuen Kundinnen, Kosmetikinstituten und Salons.   Über Jahrzehnte hinweg habe ich monatlich Ausbildungen gegeben in Deutschland und in der Schweiz.   Und dann kam dieser eine Moment. Kennst du das? Ein inneres Wissen: Es ist gut.   Wenn Dinge keine Freude mehr machen, wenn sie mehr Energie kosten, als sie geben, dann ist es Zeit auszusteigen.   Das ist eines der wichtigsten Learnings fürs Leben:   „Wenn es nicht mehr passt, darfst du gehen!"   Es war ein Sonntag und ich wusste: Das war meine letzte Beauty- & Wellness-Ausbildung.   Das ist rund zehn Jahre her.   Die Produkte sind weitergelaufen. Still. Verlässlich. Mit Menschen, die sie lieben.   Und seit etwa einem Jahr passiert etwas Neues in mir. Dieses Jucken in den Fingern. Kennst du das?   Eine Stimme sagt: Ich möchte zurück Eine andere sagt: Lass es   Doch wenn ich mir die heutige Welt anschaue, die Unsicherheit, die vielen Frauen ohne Perspektive, die Sehnsucht nach Sinn und Stabilität, dann wird mir eines klar:  

Welcome to today's Unconditional Remembrance: Your Connection to Source episode of Wisdom Talk Radio. Today centers on the notion of our “Original Separation”: the experience of coming into physical life. This moment marks the beginning of our journey in the physical realm, where we encounter a sense of separation from Source, forgetting the experience of oneness.I also introduce the Salons of Life—intimate, live gatherings dedicated to Remembrance. These special events are held in living rooms across various communities, offering a warm and personal setting for people to reconnect, share, and reflect on their journey back to Source. The Salons of Life foster meaningful conversations and authentic connections, supporting the process of Remembrance in a nurturing environment.I'm Laurie Seymour, host of Wisdom Talk Radio and CEO and founder of The Baca Institute, home of the Quantum Connection Process.

Being busy isn't the goal, being profitable is.In this holiday-week episode, I break down why so many salon owners are booked out, working nonstop, and still not seeing the revenue growth they want. The issue isn't effort. It's relying on too few pathways of cash.Inside this episode, we cover:Why being booked out doesn't automatically equal profitabilityThe most common reason revenue flatlines even when demand is highWhat “pathways of cash” actually are (and which ones most salons already have)How relying on one revenue lever caps your growthWhy adding hours or hiring more people is usually the last move, not the firstHow multiple aligned cash pathways create compounding revenue without burnoutThis episode is part of the Compounding Cash System series and sets the foundation for building a salon that grows beyond your personal capacity.Join The Monday Club:Where leadership, systems, and cash compounding come together so you can grow without burnout.https://www.lexilomax.com/monday-club

[325] In 2024, Qnity's research arm, the Qnity Institute, conducted a study. At the heart of it was one core question: ‘What does a financially successful salon look like?' In this episode, Tom Kuhn, CEO of Qnity—an organisation offering education and tools for economic empowerment in the beauty industry—shares findings and insights from the subsequent 50-page report, published in June 2025. The ‘2024 Salon P&L Benchmark Study' set out to paint a clearer picture of the industry, establish reliable benchmarks, and deliver actionable insights that could help improve profitability, and this conversation aims to do the same, equipping salon owners with prompts for reflection or conversation starters about the financial health of their own business going into 2026.

Send us a textThe salon industry is changing fast. From how stylists learn, to how salons use technology, to what clients expect from their experience, there's a major shift underway. In the first part of our 2026 Salon Predictions series, Todd and Jen break down the changes already happening in education, AI and salon tech, and client behavior, and why salons that move now will have a serious advantage.This episode isn't about fear or hype; it's about understanding the direction the industry is actually going, so you can plan ahead instead of reacting later.Whether you're a commission salon owner, a suite renter, or someone planning to open a salon in the next couple of years, this episode will help you see what's coming and how to position yourself to win the long game.Key TakeawaysA lot of “education” is entertainment. Growth happens in small, focused, actionable sessions.Micro-education and mentorship will outperform large-stage education events.Salons that practice inside the salon outperform salons that “wait to find the time.”Technology is no longer optional; online booking, automation, and AI are becoming client expectations.GPTs and AR consultations will change how salons communicate, book, and guide clients.Hospitality is the new luxury: clients want to feel cared for, not impressed.Younger clients choose salons for vibe, fun, shareability, and convenience.Clients leave because of complacency, not pricing.Episode Timestamps00:00 | Welcome + Why we re-recorded this series01:00 | Structure of the 3-part predictions series02:00 | Opening Take (Jen): Unlearning beliefs about pricing and worth03:30 | Opening Take (Todd): Humans already work like LLMs + misunderstandings about AI06:00 | Prediction #1: Education splits into entertainment vs education08:00 | Challenge: Use large events as team culture, not skill development09:00 | Prediction #2: Rise of Micro-Education + skill-specific training11:30 | Challenge: Find educators who teach exactly what you need12:30 | Prediction #3: Stylists begin seeing education as an investment, not an expense14:30 | Challenge: Ask for pricing, stop assuming you can't afford it15:30 | Prediction #4: Salons that integrate education into workflow will win17:00 | Challenge: Schedule internal education now, don't “hope it happens”18:00 | Technology Prediction #1: The “Digitally Resistant” salons get left behind19:00 | Why convenience + frictionless booking matters more than ever21:00 | AI becomes your operational silent partner23:00 | Real example: Losing a client → AI brought her back two years later24:00 | GPT Agents on salon websites: what's coming next27:00 | AR Consultations: visualizing outcomes before services begin29:30 | Prediction: Data becomes the new scissors32:00 | Prediction: “Good Enough” collapses skill is not differentiation34:00 | Client Trends: Hospitality > Luxury36:00 | Businesses > Individuals.

Helen Schulman is an acclaimed novelist, screenwriter, short story writer and New York Times Bestselling author. In my 40th episode, we talk about the concept of "sympathetic happiness", as she shares her impactful encounter with the Dalai Lama many years back.  She was visiting Portland, Oregon for the first time, exploring the city, when she basically stumbled over His Holiness: he was giving a free public audience in Pioneer Square, Helen had never heard him speak before so she stuck around. His topic was "sympathetic happiness". The idea being that if you can join in the happiness of others, your own happiness will multiply. His deceptively simple and profound theories really struck her - she had been teaching grad school for quite awhile by then, and realised that if she could be really happy for her students' successes, if their joy became her joy her life would become fuller and richer and well, happier. She always felt happy for them, but now she could focus on also being happy through them. It was a small good thing that happened to her that day, but it has really affected the rest of her life and her work as an educator.Once Helen understood this concept, it made it easier and more compelling for her to build programs that she thought would help her students reach their dreams, and also, pragmatically, help them find agents and editors, and outside work.Helen also talks about her new book "Fools for Love" that was just published in July during this recording, and she had a book launch at Rizzoli's in New York City. It's a collection of short stories, that she edited and interconnected so that they relate to each other. She also shares how she learned how to waltz from her grandmother, and how she relearned it with her husband last year in a dance class in a beautiful castle in the South of Germany (she wrote a piece about this for the Condé Nast Traveller).HELEN SCHULMAN is a novelist, screenwriter and short story writer. A collection of stories, Fools for Love, has been published by Knopf in July 2025. Prior to publication, the title story was published in The Atlantic. Her newest novel, Lucky Dogs, was one of Oprah Daily's top ten novels of 2023. She is also the author of the novels Come With Me (San Francisco Chronicle ten best books of 2019) This Beautiful Life (a New York Times and International Best Seller), A Day At The Beach, P.S., (made into a motion picture starring Laura Linney, Gabriel Byrne, Paul Rudd and Marcia Gay Harden, for which Professor Schulman has a screenwriting credit), The Revisionist and Out Of Time (Barnes and Noble Discovery), and the short story collection Not A Free Show.

From Prison Garb to Neoclassical Chic: Style and Scandal in the Directory. During the Directory (circa 1795), Teresia (Madame Tallien) and Rose (not yet Josephine) held influential salons, using style to gain success in a world where women lacked financial empowerment. Their revolutionary fashion stemmed from the prison shift Teresia wore and the plain white cotton dresses worn by African American women in Martinique, Rose's home. This style—made often of diaphanous imported muslin—passed as neoclassicism but stunned observers due to the minimal amount of clothing worn. One famous wit observed that Teresia was "more expensively undressed" than anyone else. This radical departure from the previous "cage style" clothing, enforced by sumptuary laws and guilds, was made possible by the abolition of guilds and the collective trauma of the Terror. It was at Teresia's gathering that Napoleon, then a Corsican in shoddy clothes, became entranced by Rose (Josephine).

What is it that fascinates us in art? What does a painting do to us? Why do artists do what they do?Art is such a vast and individuell yet universal field to explore. When and why does an artist become an artist?In my conversation with New York based, American-Pakistani artist, Tanya Minhas, we explore the invisible in art. Tanya shares her fascination for nature and the tiny moments, that inspire her thinking and her work.She shares the moment, that made it inevitable for her to commit fully to a life as an artist. It had to do with facing challenges, grief and searching for a language to be able to truly express herself and her emotions. ( As she quoted from a book she once read "Life is not all HiHi-HaHa"). Words would not suffice, and she strongly felt that the only true, freeing and authentic language for her was found in speaking through art. So she did and committed to fully be and live as an artist.Tanya's Pakistani heritage strongly influences her work, which particularly reflects in her current show. Tanya integrates and balances her artistic practice with family life - working when possible in a meditative state.Tanya Minhas has been showing her work successfully throughout the Eastcoast in various group shows and exhibitions. Her current solo show "A Tapestry of Dreams" is on view in New York City with her gallery Winston Wächter. Tanya holds a degree from Princeton University and an MBA from Columbia University. She started her career in management consulting, yet later joined the Arts Student League and studied portrait painting under MaryBeth McKenzie, to eventually move into abstract work.####On another note: I am so proud and excited to announce that SHIFT HAPPENS' Season 5 is supported by London based jewellery brand Tilly Sveaas.
