Put quite simply, todays guest Tim Hartley is regarded as one of the world's greatest hairdressers. After a 30 year career at Vidal Sassoon culminating in his renowned role as International Creative Director Tim left the corporate world to concentrate on his own stunning visions of hair design. In this podcast today we will not only get to learn about Tim's rich heritage in hairdressing that led him to this role at Vidal Sassoon, but how he sees the hair industry moving forward. For over 30 years he’s been inspiring generations of young hairdressers with his passionate approach to hair, cutting edge aesthetic and technical expertise. His rise to the stratosphere of international hair design has been a remarkable one starting in the city of Manchester in the late 1970s, one of the centres of avant-garde punk style and ending on a global stage. I feel it's really important to observe and understand the stories behind our industries most iconic names as we learn not only of their wins, but of their struggles too. By developing your knowledge of the hairdressing history means developing your knowledge for a more fulfilling and successful career as we hurtle towards the new now in a post-covid world!

There are very few job titles in the hairdressing world that carry with them the responsibility of not just keeping a legacy alive, but also having the courage to evolve and reinvent it to maintain its relevance in a fast-changing world. Perhaps the most significant job that carries that responsibility is being the International creative director of Sassoon, a title that has only ever been held by 4 people: Roger Thompson, Christopher Brooker, Tim Hartley and Mark Hayes. The Sassoon brand started when Vidal Sassoon opened his first salon in Bond St London in 1954 and here we are 66 years later and the Sassoon brand is still arguably at the top of the tree in many ways and still very much a major force to be reckoned with. My guest on Today's podcast is a good friend and the current International Creative Director of Sassoon Salons and Schools Mark Hayes In today’s podcast we discuss: What is creativity and how to direct the creative process How we can all contribute to making hairdressing a more desirable career choice… and How training is changing with new attitudes and technology And lots more!

[23:29] Antony speaks about clients walking away from hairdressers, putting their hands in their hair and bringing it to life by making it more their style. [24:30] The most successful people are the ones who have a connection to the person they are working on. [26:45] Mark believes you have to be aware that it is a collaboration between the stylists and the client. [29:32] Antony discusses a stylist he used to watch that brought an element of beauty that he didn't believe he could achieve.

[1:16:18] What do you wish you were better at? I wish I were less impatient. [1:17:19] If you could go back and give the sixteen-year-old you advice, what would it be?

We explore the groundhopping route less-traveled with author Tim Hartley. He's been to North Korea, West Africa, Lebanon and a host of other places and share his experience with us.
There are only a handful of hairdressers that truly deserve the title 'Iconic.' But my guest today is Mr Tim Hartley, and he is certainly one of them. Tim is the former International Creative Director of the Sassoon Organization. And over a long career, he has influenced a generation of 'haircutters' with not just how he 'cuts hair' but also with his thoughts about hair and fashion and his understanding of all the references that the wider fashion world draws on. That's one reason I love talking to him because whether it's from art or architecture or music and popular culture, he is a wealth of inspiration. Since leaving Sassoon 16 years ago, Tim has continued to shake things up under his own brand. And still, to this day, he has a lot of wisdom, passion, and a genuine love for the craft that is not only rare to find but also very inspiring! So, in today's podcast, we talk about: The process of creativity… How hair fashions evolve and Tim's new project 'Tim Hartley Hair world' and How COVID might impact on hair fashions… And lots more! In This Episode: [02:03] Welcome to the show, Tim! [02:40] Listen as Tim shares what keeps his passion for the industry alive. [06:30] Tim discusses how he handles hair and the unique opportunity you have to change someone's life with scissors. [09:07] Tim speaks about engaging the head and hands to create something beautiful for the client. [13:18] How do you think the pandemic will influence fashion and trends going forward? [15:49] Tim believes that hairdressers need to relearn shampoo's art and how to take care of hair again. [17:59] Tim believes now is the time to revisit all the amazing above the shoulder haircuts. [20:26] Tim says that the ponytail goes with hoodies, and the fashion cycle has turned, and we are starting all over again with haircuts. [23:23] Antony speaks about how refreshing it is to see a short haircut after all the long hair that's been popular. [25:25] It's time to bring the hair up above the shoulder so it can move. [28:02] Tim shares about a project he is working on. [31:00] Listen as Tim discusses a magazine he was featured in. [33:59] What is Tim Hartley Hairworld? [36:15] Tim talks about his education and training system designed for today's trends. [38:52] Tim says he is trying to create looks that can be done easily and quickly. [42:02] When will Tim Hartley Hairworld launch? [45:41] Tim discusses how being Creative Director of Sassoon came with a restriction to create hair in the Sassoon way. [49:12] Beauty and glamour are the common thread that runs through everything he does with hair. [52:09] How has Instagram influenced fashion and education?

Mishal Husain introduces pieces reflecting contemporary life across the United Kingdom. Alison Williams would regularly see a young middle-aged woman sitting outside the railway station she used. They returned smiles; Alison wondered about her back story. Then suddenly the woman was gone. What happened next is a parable of our times. Each summer in recent years, Dorset has welcomed children from areas of northern Ukraine and Belarus blighted by the radioactivity released by the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear site in April 1986. During their stay, the children receive health checks and enjoy the hospitality of local families. So how are they faring? Jane Labous has been to meet this year's visitors - and their hosts. Even the idea of Welsh wine to accompany haute cuisine used to bring a smile to many a face, not least in the country itself. But in fact wine-making there dates back to Roman times and is currently undergoing a revival. But can what was once a cottage industry - literally - become a money-spinner? Tim Hartley has been visiting vineyards in both North and South Wales to gauge the prospects. When, fifteen years ago, 23 Chinese cockle pickers tragically lost their lives on north-west England's "wet Sahara" - the vast area of sand and mudflats which is Morecambe Bay - it confirmed its reputation for treacherous tides that can readily catch out the unwary. A new guide to assist crossings to and from the Cumbrian and Lancastrian sides of the Bay has recently been appointed and Tom Edwards decided to take his daughters there to initiate them into its tidal flows. And John Forsyth has been unearthing the mystery of toppling headstones in Scottish cemeteries. He discovers the identity of the perpetrator - and why it is happening. Producer: Simon Coates

A civil war is brewing in Cameroon, but it rarely makes the headlines. Kate Adie introduces stories and insight from correspondents around the world: In Nigeria, Stephanie Hegarty travels to its border with Cameroon which tens of thousands of people have crossed fleeing violent unrest in the République's Anglophone region. Tim Hartley listens to the fears of indigenous people in Cordillera in the Philippines - of big business encroaching on their way of life and of state sanctioned harassment. Jonathan Fryer attends a Candomblé initiation ceremony and hears how the Afro-Brazilian religion is becoming increasingly popular as economic problems persist in Brazil. Cindy Sui reveals how easy it is for big businesses to be unwittingly drawn into arguments about China's territorial claim on Taiwan - even for companies based in mainland China. And how about a game of three-sided football? David Taylor takes part in the other major international football tournament taking place this summer, in Spain.
Un o gyfarwyddwyr elusen Gôl Cymru, sydd wedi ei enwebu am wobr Dewi Sant, yw gwestai Beti George. Mae Tim Hartley yn gyn-newyddiadurwr ac yn gyn-gyfarwyddwr materion corfforaethol S4C ac wrth ei fodd yn teithio'r byd i wylio pêl-droed.
What next for the ANC as its chuckling, charismatic and divisive leader Jacob Zuma departs? Kate Adie introduces correspondents' stories and insights from around the world. In South Africa, Andrew Harding looks back on President Zuma's time at the top of his party and his country. Joanna Robertson soaks up the seasonal spirit in Rome amid complaints about corruption, mafia collusion, a mangy municipal Christmas tree and a Christmas market with no stalls. Tim Hartley reports from Hong Kong as Beijing tries to blow the final whistle on protesting football fans who dare to disrespect the national anthem. Alexa Dvorson explores why all is not well in Bhutan, land of Gross National Happiness. And at an art gallery in Budapest, Nick Thorpe is reminded of both the censorship imposed by Hungary's former Communist rulers and the paradoxical freedoms granted to its people.
Bridget Kendall introduces correspondents' stories. Today, Tim Hartley hears how politics are forgotten amid the colour and friendship of the African Cup of Nations in Gabon. Nick Sturdee has a fantastical tale of intrigue and murder in Turkey - but where does the trail lead? Hywel Griffith, in Sydney, Australia, is with the 90 year old who is keeping the developers at bay. Emma Levine hunts down Albania's elusive rail network; and phoning home may have been difficult during the Kosovo conflict but Andrew Gray remembers fondly the opportunities and advantages of not being connected.
Stories of surface image - and underlying reality - from around the world, introduced by Kate Adie. In Moscow, the alleged killers of liberal politician Boris Nemtsov are on trial, but questions remain about who was really responsible for his murder. Sarah Rainsford, who remembers Nemtsov as one of the poster boys for the newly democratic Russia of the 1990s, describes seeing the legal process unfold in court. In Ethiopia, some of the country's finest farmland is drying out as drought threatens the food supply for almost 18 million people - and Nicola Kelly's left unsure that traditional methods of weather forecasting, like reading signs in the livers of slaughtered goats, can work in these conditions. While travelling in Costa Rica's verdant forests, Tim Hartley also dug into the causes of a rot creeping across the country: corruption, on both the small and large scale. Bob Walker's been trudging a pilgrimage path in the footsteps of St Olaf through rural Sweden, and stepped into some ongoing debates about how many migrants the country could or should shelter. In Morocco, it's not easy for women to walk unmolested and Morgan Meaker hears from some who'd like to put an end to the endemic harassment on the streets.
Correspondents around the world with the detail behind the headlines: Beth McLeod on the struggling Syrian refugees resorting to selling their daughters into marriage. The costs and consequences of standing in a Pakistani election are explored by Owen Bennett Jones. Another food scandal in China: Martin Patience on how, this time, it's rat which is leaving a nasty taste in the mouth. How can a pile of nappies in the British Museum spell good news for Somalia? The answer comes from Mary Harper while Tim Hartley takes time out at a football match in North Korea. It might still be the beautiful game but not as most of us know it!
