    269 (Re-release) A Tribute to the Life and Times of a True Hairdressing Legend - Trevor Sorbie

    The words' icon' and 'legend' are totally overused in the hairdressing industry, and the problem that it creates is that when you really do meet someone regarded as a genuine icon or legend in the hairdressing industry, there are no superlatives left to aptly describe their status.


    Having said that, today's guest would never call himself an 'icon' or a 'legend,' and it's that humility combined with decades at the top creatively that has earned him the respect of hairdressers everywhere.


    My guest on today's podcast is Mr Trevor Sorbie MBE. Trevor started his career working in his father's barbershop in Paisley, Scotland. He went on to become one of the biggest names in the world of hairdressing, and along the way, won 4 British Hairdresser Of the Year Awards, was awarded a Doctorate from a Scottish University and was made a Member of the British Empire from her Majesty the Queen…


    In this episode, we will discuss:

    - The importance of nurturing creativity
    - The art of being a great on-stage presenter
    - The wisdom that comes with age…

    And lots more!

    268 Can One Salon Management Software System Fill All Your Needs?

    There are many changes impacting the hair and beauty business, and one area that is impacting every industry is the continual advancement and use of tech, particularly the advancement of AI. 


    Today's guest is Sudheer Koneru, co-founder of Zenoti Salon Software.


    After a background working at Microsoft, Sudheer embraced semi-retirement, and after exploring yoga, meditation and the wellness industry, he became the owner of a small group of spas that incorporated salons, beauty, fitness and yoga. 


    Frustrated by the software solutions available at the time, Sudheer decided to develop his own, and Zenoti was the result. 


    Today Zenoti operates in over fifty countries in a total of approximately 30,000 businesses in the beauty and wellness industry. 


    In today’s podcast, we discuss:
    👉 The role of AI in the salon industry today
    👉 Predictions of the impact that AI will have in the immediate future
    👉 The advantages of having only one piece of software that handles everything from being a point of sale and booking platform to all your marketing, management and business analytics…

    And lots more!


    IN THIS EPISODE:


    [01:08] Introducing Sudheer Koneru and Zenoti

    [02:36] Sudheers transition from tech to beauty and wellness

    [12:25] The birth of Zenoti from Sudheers personal wellness journey

    [23:33] Discussing Zenoti's apps for both stylists and clients

    🌟 The benefits of working a four-day week 
    🌟 Finding balance

    And lots more!

    Whether it’s on social media or podcasts or articles that I read, It seems to me that the goal of salon owners everywhere is to leave the floor.

    Let’s begin by looking at how they ended up in this position in the first place. 


    Tune in to learn how to redefine your role as a salon owner so that you set your business up for long-term success.

    260 Your Salon Team Can Win GOLD Too!

    Every four years, the Olympics and the Paralympics come along. 


    And even if you’re not someone who is usually that fussed by athletics, swimming, gymnastics, etc., you just can’t help but be exposed to it, whether it’s on Social media, the news or on TV, it’s everywhere! 


    And if you’re like most people, you can’t help but be impressed with what those incredible athletes are capable of. 


    But what we see is the ‘end results’ after years of commitment and dedication.


    So what's that got to do with hairdressing?  On the surface, it has nothing to do with hairdressing. 


    But I can’t help thinking about the parallels that there are about ‘being the best’ at whatever it is that you do.


    In today’s episode, I talk about how being good at anything in life requires you to make finer distinctions about whatever it is that you want to master. 


    It requires training, it requires huge levels of commitment and determination, and it requires sacrifice in other areas of your life in order to achieve the goal whatever it is.

    259 Longevity and Evolution in the Hair Industry with Ruth Roche

     When you’ve been in this industry a long time, you not only see trends and businesses come and go, but you also see people come and go.

     

    But, longevity as a hairdresser and remaining relevant throughout your career is not only a skill in itself, but if you can remain passionate and keep evolving with the times, the result is that you build up a range of skills that leave you with a fantastic legacy to pass on to the generations that follow.
