Podcasts about salons

Alisha dropped out of year 10 to become a hairdresser, opened her own salon at 20, and ran it for nearly a decade - applying five different products to every client's hair, every single day. By the time she sold the salon, she already knew exactly what was wrong with the industry. What she didn't know was how to start an e-commerce brand. James Jade, her all-in-one leave-in conditioner that replaces up to five separate products, took two years and close to $21,000 to get off the ground. She doesn't regret a cent of it. In this episode, Alisha walks through the full build - the custom formula she landed on her second sample, the five delays before launch, and the first two years of selling almost entirely through word of mouth, mystery notes left in cafe bathrooms, and conversations at the World Surf League. She gets honest about what held her back, how slow it actually was, and what finally started to move the needle. What you'll learn in this interview: How 16 years on the salon floor became the most credible form of product validation - and why Alisha already knew her formula before she ever met a cosmetic chemist Why she got the formula right on the second sample when most founders go through 20 - and the one thing that was actually the hardest to nail The real cost of custom formulation: $7,000 for packaging, ~$14,000 for 1,000 units at $15 a bottle, and why she was told to double her budget - and it ended up being triple What she did during the two years between starting development and actually launching, including freelancing to fund each invoice one at a time Why refusing to be the face of the brand in the early days made everything slower - and the exact moment she realised the product alone wasn't enough The scrappy, offline community tactics that built early brand awareness - leaving minis in nice bathrooms, mystery notes in cafes, street conversations at events How she started posting four times a week on Instagram with no ads, no influencers, and no email marketing - and what eventually changed The decision to build weekly emails around real hair advice rather than promotional content - and why her salon background made this the easiest part of the whole business Why she waited until she'd recouped her initial investment before developing the shampoo - and what the waitlist looks like before it's even launched Lessons from nearly $21K invested in a first run, five launch delays, and two years of slow, deliberate building before the business started to accelerate If you're in the early stages and wondering whether the slow growth means you're doing it wrong - this episode is for you. Alisha's story is a reminder that domain expertise is an unfair advantage, that the long, unglamorous build is often the only way to get it right, and that $7K a month on a single product with a shampoo waitlist already building is not a small thing.

The Dress Code Project: Creating Safer Salon SpacesThis interview features Kristin Rankin, a salon owner and the creator of the Dress Code Project, an international initiative dedicated to creating gender-affirming hair salons. Rankin explains how her professional journey evolved from film production to opening Fuss Hair Studio in Toronto, where she emphasizes the necessity of continuous education and a cohesive team culture. A major focus of the discussion is the removal of gender-based pricing, with Rankin arguing that services should be billed based on labor and hair length rather than binary labels. By establishing a global alliance of safer spaces, the project ensures that LGBTQ+ individuals can receive haircuts without the fear of being misgendered or discriminated against. Ultimately, the source highlights how the beauty industry is shifting toward fluidity and inclusivity to better serve a modern, diverse clientele.https://www.HairstylistEmpowermentPodcast.com https://www.BeautyIndustryCruises.com

In today's episode, Claudia and her guest Trude Stene (originally fro Norway, based in Switzerland) shares her transformative journey that began 23 years ago when she faced blindness after her daughter's birth, leading her to dedicate her life to humanitarian work through Future for Children and later Triple Solution Skincare—a social enterprise that empowers women in Uganda, Nepal, and the Amazon while addressing environmental challenges. Trude's journey is on full speed. She truly drives impact and significant change, where it is needed: Business Evolution in Uganda Initial investments (5 groups): Goat breeding, wild honey production, seed trading—all eventually converged on goat breeding as most beneficial 16 Investment amount: ~500 francs per group, with bi-weekly follow-up visits for accountability and training in basic economics and marketing 3 Scaling: Expanded from 5 to ~20 groups; word spread and groups now approach the foundation 317 Advanced stage (after 5 years): Women purchased oxen for plowing, now rent them out for additional income 17 Impact Beyond Economics Women moved from week-to-week survival to predictable income 17 Status transformation: Women gained social standing and confidence, "held their heads up high" 17 Generational impact: Demonstrating agency to both daughters and sons Brava! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To learn more about Trude Stene and her organisation, Future 4 Children, and her skincare brand, Triple Solution Skincare, please go to the websites and follow on social media: www.future4children.com www.triplesolutionskincare.com @triplesolutionskincare **********+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To learn more about SHIFT HAPPENS, click here  To learn more about Claudia's business SHIFT HAPPENS.Curated Conversations and her Salons in New York, Zurich and Berlin, click here You can also connect with Claudia on Instagram @shifthappens.podcast and LinkedIn at ClaudiaMahlerNYC This podcast is created, produced and hosted by Claudia Mahler.

AI in the salon is no longer something you can put off, and ignoring it won't make it disappear. This week I'm joined by Martha Lynn Kale, owner of Mirror Mirror in Austin, Texas, who has spent the past year building AI into how she leads, hires, trains and markets. We get practical about what she uses it for, where it earns its place, and the mistake that trips most owners up.If you're curious about AI but unsure where it fits, or a bit nervous about it, this episode will help ground you. You'll come away knowing how to find the balance between using AI to increase efficiencies, but still protect the human side of your salon. Most importantly you'll understand  the work you have to do first so AI actually has a foundation of knowledge to build on.IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:✅ The practical jobs AI can take off your plate so your team is more present for clients✅ Why you have to do the work on your values and systems first before AI is any use✅ How to keep AI invisible to clients while it sharpens everything behind the scenes✅ The "start with one problem" approach that beats asking AI to build everything at once✅ Where to begin if you're nervous or sceptical about AI in your businessIN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Introduction[02:37] Does using AI make you lazy, or sharpen your thinking?[04:08] Why AI works best as an enhancement to what you already do[05:14] The platforms Martha Lynn uses and why ChatGPT knows her[06:13] Typing versus talking: finding the input style that suits you[09:08] Using AI to tighten org charts, roles and career paths[11:46] The finance angle: driving revenue and solving slow Saturdays[13:52] Keeping the human touch as salon software gets smarter[15:46] Marketing with AI: brainstorming, captions and the branding challenge[20:29] The front desk slip that revealed human first, policy second[24:27] Rebuilding the apprentice program with feedback and AI[28:58] The work you must do before AI can help you[33:13] Where to start if AI still makes you nervousWant MORE to help you GROW?

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.

Alina Ibragimova und der Pianist Cedric Thiberghien spüren in ihrem Album dem Originalklang nach - also, wie hat es sich möglicherweise angehört in den Salons der feinen Gesellschaft zu Beethoven Zeit? Das gelingt ihnen hervorragend.

Online wirkt unsere Branche oft erfolgreich, modern und voller Energie. Doch hinter den Kulissen erleben viele Salons seit Jahren enormen Druck, Unsicherheit und Erschöpfung. In dieser GEDANKEN-Folge spreche ich über die Entwicklung der Friseurbranche seit 2020 — und darüber, warum Außenwirkung und Realität aktuell oft weit auseinanderliegen.

Send us Fan MailSomewhere along the way, parts of the salon industry stopped focusing on hair.Now it feels like everyone is chasing trends, distractions, aesthetics, side hustles, “luxury experiences,” influencer content, and anything else they can add to their business while ignoring the fundamentals that actually create loyal clients.In this episode, we break down why so many salons are trying to solve business problems with gimmicks rather than strengthening their services, systems, communication, and client experience.We talk about performative luxury, social media trends, weak retention, copycat marketing, hospitality vs service, client psychology, and why consistency matters far more than novelty.We also share real examples from our own salon, lessons from other industries, and the simple things that actually create long-term loyalty and trust with clients.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.And that starts with mastering the thing you're actually supposed to do.Key TakeawaysMany salons are focused on distractions instead of fundamentals. Clients care more about consistency than trends. Most salon marketing is aimed at other stylists, not clients. “Performative luxury” is not the same as great service. Hospitality should support the service, not replace it. Weak retention cannot be fixed with gimmicks. Copying trends is not innovation. Strong salons solve client problems directly. Relationships and communication drive long-term loyalty. Great businesses strengthen fundamentals before adding complexity.Time Stamps00:00 — Intro + restaurant experience opening take 06:00 — “The industry will do anything but hair” 07:00 — Salons becoming coffee shops and retail stores 08:00 — Marketing to other stylists instead of clients 10:00 — Performative luxury and trend culture 12:00 — Hospitality vs actual service 13:00 — What clients really want from salons 15:00 — Why most social media content misses the mark 16:00 — Consistency creates trust 17:00 — Trends vs true innovation 18:00 — Solving client problems vs copying trends 19:00 — Why salons keep adding distractions 21:00 — Retail, candles, food, and side quests 22:00 — Lessons from the fitness industry 24:00 — Weak fundamentals and underpricing 26:00 — Discounts and attracting the wrong clients 28:00 — Why gimmicks don't fix retention 29:00 — What actually creates long-term loyalty 31:00 — Relationships, professionalism, and communication 34:00 — Hospitality done correctly 36:00 — Consistency and predictable experiences 38:00 — Tier A salons focus on depth 40:00 — Questions salon owners should actually ask 41:00 — Weak businesses add complexity 42:00 — Final thoughts: stop avoiding the fundamentalsLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

If you have deer problems on your property, you might want to let your hair down. No, literally -- you might want to put your hair on the ground. Salons in Europe are sweeping up all the cut hair left on the floor of their salons, turning it into sheets, and wrapping new tree saplings in it. Turns out the deer don't like human hair!

"Anscheinend ohne alle Mühe, nur durch ein geschickt eingeworfenes Wort hielt sie die Unterhaltung in Fluß [...]" schwärmte der deutsche Pariskenner Melchior Grimm im Mai 1776 in seinem "Nachruf auf eine Salondame" - nämlich auf die soeben früh verstorbene Mademoisselle Julie de Lespinasse (1732-1776). Sie war die jüngste unserer in der heutigen Episode porträtierten "Drei Damen vom Salon" und stand in enger Beziehung zu den beiden anderen: der Marquise du Deffand (1697-1780), ihrer Tante, und Madame Marie Thérèse Geoffrin (1699-1777), ihrer Förderin. Bei allen Unterschieden hatten sie eines gemeinsam: sie prägten die Pariser Salonkultur um 1750 maßgeblich und boten der entstehenden Intellektuellen-Szene einen geschützten Raum. Aber kooperierten sie dabei oder waren es Konkurrentinnen mit handfesten eigenen Interessen? Darüber sprechen wir heute, wie immer ganz dicht an den Quellen!

Gilly Norton founded SWV to support wounded veterans, first responders, and war correspondents. What started with therapeutic ski trips to Klosters, CH, evolved quickly into employment support, pain clinics, and mentoring when veterans revealed their biggest challenge: finding work despite their injuries. Recognizing that conventional PTSD treatments were failing, Gilly raised $1.5 million to fund the UK's first MDMA-assisted therapy trial for veterans. Despite regulatory hurdles, the initiative gained backing from General Nick Carter and national media attention. Gilly is now lobbying to make research more accessible and affordable. Apart from the Ski Program in Switzerland, SWV also runs annual ski programs, the Rivers Employment Initiative, and a global political risk conference. Gilly's key message: the human cost of war doesn't end when the conflict does—PTSD affects people of all ages, with an average patient age of just 36.   To learn more about how to support SVW visit their website: Supporting Wounded Veterans Instagram: @supportingwoundedveterans ********** To learn more about SHIFT HAPPENS, click here  To learn more about Claudia's business SHIFT HAPPENS.Curated Conversations and her Salons in New York, Zurich and Berlin, click here You can also connect with Claudia on Instagram @shifthappens.podcast and LinkedIn at ClaudiaMahlerNYC This podcast is created, produced and hosted by Claudia Mahler.

Wie entstehen öffentliche Meinungen? Woraus setzt sich Öffentlichkeit zusammen? Und wie hat sich diese Sphäre über die Jahrhunderte verändert? In „Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit“ (1962) analysiert Jürgen Habermas den Aufstieg und Niedergang der sogenannten bürgerlichen Öffentlichkeit. Ihre Entstehung verortet er im Europa des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts: In Salons und Kaffeehäusern treten Privatpersonen erstmals zu einem „räsonierenden“ Publikum zusammen, um über Politik, Gesellschaft und Kultur zu diskutieren. Doch mit dem Aufkommen der Massenmedien im 20. Jahrhundert – Radio, Fernsehen, Internet – erodiert diese bürgerliche Öffentlichkeit, die Habermas noch vom rationalen Prinzip des „besseren Arguments“ geleitet sah. Zunehmend bestimmen ökonomische Interessen gigantischer Medienkonzerne, wie Öffentlichkeit organisiert ist. Das räsonierende Publikum, so Habermas, wird zum konsumierenden Publikum. Unter den Bedingungen des digitalen Kapitalismus und der Plattformisierung stellt sich erneut die Frage, wie sich die Struktur der Öffentlichkeit verändert. Soziale Medien verschieben dabei die Grenze zwischen ‚privat' und ‚öffentlich‘ grundlegend: Inhalte können nun unmittelbar veröffentlicht und verbreitet werden, ohne zuvor die klassischen Filterinstanzen oder „Gatekeeper“ wie Zeitungsredaktionen und Medienhäuser zu durchlaufen. Sind die Sozialen Medien von heute die Salons und Kaffeehäuser des 18. Jahrhunderts – neue Orte demokratischer Verständigung? Oder markieren sie vielmehr einen historischen Bruch, indem Öffentlichkeit nicht mehr primär die Funktion der Verständigung, sondern der Unterhaltung und zunehmend auch der Überwachung einnimmt? In der neuen Folge unseres Theorie-Podcasts führt Alex Demirović in Habermas' Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit ein und spricht mit dem Soziologen und Kommunikationswissenschaftler Sebastian Sevignani über die Aktualität des Werks.

Send us Fan MailThere's a clear split happening in the salon industry.Some salons are building careers, places where stylists grow, stay long-term, and feel part of something bigger.Other salons are building jobs, places where people come and go, fill chairs, and never fully buy in.In this episode, we break down the difference between those two types of businesses and why it matters more than ever.We talk about leadership, structure, culture, and decision-making, and how small, daily choices determine whether your salon becomes a place where people build a future…or just collect a paycheck.We also share real observations from our own experience, what we've seen across the industry, and why many salon owners don't intentionally choose to build “job salons”; they drift into them.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.And what you build is shaped by the decisions you make every day.Key TakeawaysEvery salon is building either jobs or careers; there is no neutral. Job salons are transactional and often reactive. Career salons are structured, intentional, and growth-focused. Short-term urgency often leads to long-term instability. Being busy doesn't fix structural problems. The technician's mindset limits business growth. Leadership requires new skill sets beyond technical work. Turnover is often a symptom of deeper structural issues. Systems and clarity create stability for teams. Intentional leadership determines long-term success.Time Stamps00:00 — Opening + episode overview 01:00 — Jen's opening take: community and volunteering 04:00 — Todd's opening take: help-first mindset 07:00 — The split happening in the salon industry 09:00 — Job salons vs career salons defined 11:00 — Transactional environments vs team culture 13:00 — Short-term thinking vs long-term vision 15:00 — Stylist-dependent vs system-driven salons 17:00 — Why most salons default to “job mode” 19:00 — Urgency, bills, and survival decisions 21:00 — The technician's curse explained 23:00 — The hamster wheel of reactive business 25:00 — Why “busy” doesn't solve problems 27:00 — Career salons: structure, systems, development 29:00 — Why turnover eventually breaks businesses 31:00 — It works… until it doesn't 33:00 — Leadership growth and accountability 35:00 — Tier A thinking and intentional leadership 37:00 — Investing in people and education 39:00 — Trust, clarity, and communication 41:00 — Ignorance vs awareness in business 43:00 — Final thoughts: build with intentionLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

Giuseppe Petrelli bringt in dieser Folge eine der spannendsten Geschichten im HVH-Podcast mit – inklusive Porsche-Moment, Weltmeisterschaftsbühne und einem radikalen Mindset-Shift hin zu KI, Automatisierung und neuen Vertriebsprozessen.

Send us Fan MailWhy do stylists leave?If you listen to the industry, you'll hear the same answers over and over:“There's no loyalty.”“No one wants to work.”“It's the younger generation.”But if that were true…why are some salons fully staffed, growing, and retaining great people?In this episode, we break down the real reasons stylists leave, and it's not what most owners think.We talk about the leadership gaps, lack of clarity, weak systems, and environmental issues that quietly push people out, often long before they actually leave.We also share what actually creates retention inside a salon, from mentorship and growth to consistency, communication, and culture.If you want to build a team that stays, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.Key TakeawaysStylists don't leave randomly — there are always signals first.  “No loyalty” is usually a leadership issue, not a generational issue.  Lack of growth opportunities will push people out.  Clear expectations reduce confusion and frustration.  Inconsistent rules destroy trust within a team.  Avoiding hard conversations creates bigger problems later.  Strong leadership builds retention — not perks or incentives.  Education must be intentional, not random.  Environment and culture matter more than most owners think.  Turnover is feedback — not bad luck.Time Stamps00:00 — Intro and episode overview 01:00 — Opening takes: energy, burnout, and getting outside 05:00 — The common excuses owners use for losing staff 07:00 — Why stylists don't leave “out of nowhere” 09:00 — When to try to keep someone vs let them go 12:00 — The owner vs stylist blame loop 16:00 — What actually pushes stylists out 16:30 — Lack of growth opportunities 18:00 — Lack of clarity and expectations 19:30 — Inconsistent rules and standards 21:30 — Weak leadership and avoiding hard conversations 23:30 — Poor environment and outdated spaces 25:00 — Why constant turnover is feedback, not bad luck 26:30 — What actually creates retention 27:00 — Clarity, communication, and expectations 28:30 — Growth plans and intentional education 31:00 — Leadership and mentorship 34:00 — Environment, culture, and stability 35:30 — Final thoughtsLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

C'est une pratique que l'on pensait démodée depuis l'époque des salons littéraires du 19e siècle. Et pourtant, les clubs de lecture, ou « bookclubs », ont de nouveau la cote. De Dua Lipa à Lena Situations, de nombreuses stars à travers le monde s'y sont mises. Mais c'est surtout chez les jeunes adultes que l'on retrouve le phénomène. Déjà avides de communautés littéraires sur les réseaux sociaux – les fameux #BookTok et #BookStagram –, ces lecteurs font désormais basculer leur passion dans le monde réel.  Nous sommes dimanche, c'est l'après-midi, et un beau soleil brille dans les rues de Paris. Journée idéale pour s'octroyer une petite promenade. Ou pour se réunir dans une brasserie, et parler lecture. Dans un café du sud de la capitale, Alexandre, 30 ans, lance les hostilités : « Bonjour et merci d'être ici pour cette deuxième édition du bookclub », lance-t-il d'un ton enjoué. Face à lui, une vingtaine de personnes, des hommes et des femmes, tous âgés de 25 à 35 ans, et tous venus avec un même objectif, passer l'après-midi à discuter de leur dernière lecture commune.  Le livre décortiqué ce jour-là ? Un polar d'inspiration nordique. À peine les débats lancés, chacun y va de son commentaire. « Moi, j'avoue que le style, ce n'est pas important pour moi. J'ai trouvé que cela se lisait bien », lance l'une. Rebond automatique d'une autre personne installée à la même table : « Il y a beaucoup de rebondissements, c'est vrai qu'on a envie de connaître le dénouement, mais tout allait trop vite, je n'ai pas réussi à me mettre dans l'ambiance. » Du style au scénario en passant par les descriptions. Pendant deux heures, ces lecteurs, qui pour la plupart ne se connaissaient pas au début de la réunion, passent tous les aspects du livre au peigne fin.  Faire de la lecture une activité collective  Claire, 29 ans, le confesse. Elle voulait intégrer un bookclub « depuis plusieurs mois. J'adore lire, passer deux heures dans un café, chez moi ou au parc, pour bouquiner, explique la jeune femme. Mais c'est une activité solitaire, et j'avais aussi envie de partager et d'échanger autour de livres, d'appréhender des œuvres à travers d'autres points de vue, de découvrir aussi peut-être certains éléments que je n'aurais pas perçus seule. » Alexandre, le fondateur de ce club de lecture, abonde : « La lecture, c'est quelque chose qu'on fait seul. Pourtant, on adore en parler. Les gens adorent parler de ce qu'ils ont lu, donc le fait de savoir qu'on va pouvoir se retrouver dans un mois pour parler d'un même bouquin, se recommander des livres. Cela fait du bien. » Pour ce jeune homme, tout a commencé sur les réseaux sociaux il y a quelques mois : pour son trentième anniversaire, ses proches lui offrent une trentaine de livres, qu'il décide de faire découvrir à d'autres internautes sur les réseaux sociaux. En quelques semaines, plus de 7 000 personnes se sont mises à le suivre. « Dès que j'ai commencé à créer du contenu sur les réseaux, reprend-il, j'ai constaté qu'il y avait une vraie demande de rencontre dans mes commentaires. »  Ce phénomène, assez récent, a tout à voir avec les plateformes sociales et l'omniprésence des nouvelles technologies. Anne Cordier est sociologue, spécialiste des usages numériques de la jeunesse. Selon elle, cette tendance « est liée à l'hyperconnexion, rendue nécessaire notamment dans les cadres professionnels. Il y a besoin de s'en libérer. Cela passe par des moyens d'évasion, en l'occurrence ces clubs de lecture in situ, entre individus. » Sortir de la polarisation Les clubs de lecture sont aussi une manière, pour ces jeunes adultes, de « reprendre le pouvoir, estime encore Anne Cordier. Il y a une question de pouvoir d'agir ici. Réorganiser ensemble, mais tel qu'on le souhaite, des échanges, dans un cadre à la fois incarnant et incarné. »  Il s'agit aussi de faire renaître la flamme du débat, mais loin de la polarisation qui règne sur les réseaux sociaux. « Le principe de base, c'est de se disputer dans le bon sens du terme : confronter des avis, des opinions et trouver – ou pas – un terrain d'entente, mais toujours dans des espaces d'échange qui reposent sur l'écoute et le respect. » Clémence, venue pour la deuxième fois au bookclub d'Alexandre, ne l'aurait pas dit autrement : « C'est vrai que c'est sympa, de confronter nos points de vue, de se dire qu'on n'est pas d'accord. » Mais l'écoute demeure le maître mot, et là-dessus, le fondateur du bookclub est implacable : « Dans le cadre du club, on a le droit d'avoir des avis tranchés, mais on a surtout le droit de le dire à d'autres gens dans le respect et le calme. L'esprit, ce n'est pas de s'écharper, chacun doit avoir la place d'exposer ses arguments. » En bref : les polars, c'est oui. La polarisation, c'est non.

Wir springen in dieser Folge nach Algerien, wo im Jahr 1880 zwei fanzösische Expeditionen aufbrechen, um eines der ambitioniertesten Technologieprojekte des 19. Jahrhunderts vorzubereiten. Anfängliche Euphorie weicht aber bald der Erkenntnis, dass die Sahara weitaus gefährlicher und unwirtlicher ist, als in den Ministerien und Salons in Paris angenommen. Wir sprechen in dieser Folge über Paul Flatters und die nach ihm benannten Expeditionen durch die Sahara, die nicht nur in einer Katastrophe enden, sondern den Mann auch lange Zeit in Vergessenheit geraten lassen. // Erwähnte Folgen - GAG542: Eine Kaiserin der Franzosen - https://gadg.fm/542 - GAG408: Das kurze und tragische Leben des Évariste Galois - https://gadg.fm/408 - GAG496: Sophie Germain - https://gadg.fm/496 - GAG272: Am Ende der Welt - Napoleons letzte Jahre im Exil - https://gadg.fm/272 - GAG417: Auf der Suche nach den Quellen des Nils - https://gadg.fm/417 - GAG100: Der Fall der „Mignonette“ und seine Folgen - https://gadg.fm/100 - GAG525: HB04 – Tödliche Abkürzung & Die Seekuh, die kam und verschwand - https://gadg.fm/525 - GAG472: Die Antoninische Pest - https://gadg.fm/472 // Literatur - Bernard, Frédéric (1851-1927).

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?

Many hairstylists don't realize how confusing salon business models can be until something starts to feel off. In this episode, Ambrosia Carey breaks down the real differences between commission salons, booth rental, and hybrid models...including what's legal, what's common, and where stylists often get misclassified. If you've ever wondered whether your salon structure actually supports your long-term career, this conversation will bring clarity to the business side of the beauty industry.

Key Take-aways: 1. Salon business models fall into three primary categories: commission (W2 employee), booth rental (independent business owner), and hybrid structures that combine elements of both. 2. Commission salons provide infrastructure, marketing, mentorship, and stability, making them ideal for stylists building clientele or those who prefer focusing on artistry instead of business operations. 3. Booth rental offers greater autonomy and earning potential but requires strong business skills, consistent clientele, clear boundaries, and long-term financial planning. 4. A common industry mistake is misclassifying stylists as 1099 contractors while maintaining employee-level control over scheduling, pricing, or policies...which can lead to serious tax penalties. 5. True hybrid salon models only work when roles, contracts, and expectations are clearly defined between employees and independent renters. 6. Independence in the beauty industry requires systems, organization, and consistent growth efforts, not just the courage to leave a commission salon. 7. Salon owners often struggle with balancing control and culture; sustainable team environments are built through clarity, value, and leadership rather than restriction. 8. Successful salon businesses recognize individual strengths within their team instead of forcing stylists into rigid, one-size-fits-all performance systems. 9. Before accepting any salon position, stylists should ask key questions about classification, pricing control, scheduling authority, education opportunities, and written agreements. 10. No salon structure is inherently superior, the right model depends on the stylist's current season of career, financial readiness, and personal goals. 11. Long-term success in the beauty industry comes from understanding business structure, building sustainable systems, and choosing environments that support growth.

Send a textHiring is one of the most frustrating challenges salon owners face.Stylists leave. Chairs open up. Owners panic and hire quickly just to fill the space…and before long, the cycle repeats.In this episode, we break down the hiring loop that keeps salon owners stuck and explain why the problem usually isn't the stylists; it's the hiring process itself.We share the four-step hiring framework we've developed over the past several years at Hello Hair Co., how culture and alignment matter more than technical skill, and why hiring intentionally creates stronger teams that actually stay.We also talk about what attracts the right stylists in the first place, why most hiring ads fail, and how to build a salon environment people genuinely want to be part of.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.And that starts with hiring people who truly belong in your culture.KEY TAKEAWAYSHiring problems are usually process problems.Panic hiring creates repeating cycles.Alignment and culture matter more than technical skill.Shadow days reveal true personality fit.Hiring should evaluate long-term potential.Strong cultures naturally attract the right candidates.Owners must tell a compelling story about their salon.Teams stay longer when expectations are clear.Education and growth opportunities attract stronger talent.Hiring intentionally builds sustainable businesses.TIME STAMPS 00:00 — Intro and episode overview 01:00 — Opening take: culture problems in salons 05:00 — Tier A mindset and hiring philosophy 07:30 — Why hiring loops keep repeating 10:00 — The difference between skill and alignment 12:30 — Why most hiring ads fail 15:00 — Step 1: The conversation interview 18:00 — Step 2: The shadow day 22:00 — Step 3: Culture and expectations conversation 26:00 — Step 4: Model day and education roadmap 30:00 — Why culture fit matters more than talent 34:00 — Building long-term teams instead of filling chairs 38:00 — Final thoughtsLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

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.

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.
