Dr Seán Williams on Hairdressing & Its Cultural History From the 18th Century Onwards

[142] We rarely stop to think about where traditions and professions come from. Be that as it may, history can help us discover how some human experiences aren't always so foreign to those lived centuries ago.
In history, the hairdresser is an artistic and self-made character. Featuring Dr Seán Williams, lecturer in German and European Cultural History at the University of Sheffield, this week's conversation connects the past and its legacy to the present, and celebrates hairdressing and its cultural history from the 18th century onwards.

Ronit Enos on Financial Literacy & Changing Salons’ Money Stories

[140] Money is great, right? Making lots of money is even better, right? But let's ask ourselves why. Why do we want more money? Like it or not, money brings shame and confusion. It's intimidating, and we make up stories about money that aren't true.
What's your money story? Maybe you grew up with too little? Too much? Perhaps you were taught that it was wrong to want more? To ignore the money because it just caused too many problems? We bring all those stories into adult life and our businesses. Numbers and finances can be overwhelming and can paralyse you if you let them. But you don't have to.
Featuring Ronit Enos, salon and spa business coach and the creator of SalonCadence.com, this week’s conversation is all about changing your money story.

Joshua Howard & Andrew Best on Increasing Profitability and Making Every Drop of Color Count

[135] Running a successful hair colouring salon presents many challenges, and other than the normal day-to-day struggles, there are two well-known and fundamental challenges across the industry: hair color waste and not charging for all color services and treatments.
Featuring CEO Joshua Howard and COO Andrew Best of color management system Vish (@vishsalons on Instagram), this week's conversation explores how without effective systems, salon owners are left to manage their color business with estimates and manufacturer benchmarks, and what strategies can help eliminate waste, improve relationships, and increase profits.

[133] Opportunity often comes knocking at your door when you least expect it. Sometimes though, it's all about creating that right opportunity instead of waiting for it to come.
