EP394: Hair Colour Ingredient Truths with Wella’s Ursus Schweitzer
lundi 6 juillet 2026 • Durée 37:10
Are scary ingredient headlines warping your colour decisions? In this episode brought to you by Wella Professionals UKI, we’re joined by Ursus Schweitzer—an R&D connector who bridges the lab and the salon floor. He observes how productsare really used, then translates complex chemistry into clear, salon-ready truths.
Ursus cuts through the noise and decode what’s really inside the bottle so you can make smarter choices and educate clients with confidence.
You’ll learn how to separate study-based evidence from clickbait, why full formulations and purpose-built systems (including alkalizers) matter more than single “hero” or “villain” ingredients, how credible sourcing, biodegradability, and sustainability guide modern development, and practical ways to translate science into salon language.
An episode perfect for hairdressers and salon owners who are ready to swap noise for knowledge. Hit play!

EP393: Stop Guessing Hair Colour—You’re Gambling with People’s Hair, with Samantha Blues
lundi 8 juin 2026 • Durée 37:01
What if colour work could be approached less like guesswork and more like investigation? In this episode I'm joined by Samantha Blues, founder of Colour Science Investigation, who explains her crime-scene-style framework for helping stylists move from guessing to predicting in colour.
Samantha discusses why many stylists are taught to focus on the finished look rather than what is happening inside the hair, and why hair reading, residue, underlying pigment and consultation questions are essential. She also covers toners, colour correction and the limits of relying on formulas alone, saying the goal is to build confidence, structure and better client communication.

EP392: Hairstylists Belong On Stage!
samedi 23 mai 2026 • Durée 18:51
What if the thing holding your career back isn't your skill—but your fear of being seen?
In this episode, I break down why stage work matters for hairdressers and barbers. It builds confidence, sharpens your communication, and transforms how you show up behind the chair.
I explore how performing unlocks creativity you didn't know you had. How it opens doors to educator roles, brand work, and art teams. And why live visibility still hits different in a world dominated by algorithms.
I also share my own journey learning stage craft—and introduce SHAIR! UNDRGRND, a raw, unfiltered stage format I created for rising talent.
Plus, I announce SHAIR! UNDRGRND at HairCon Manchester, 14-15 June.

EP390: The Real Business of Hair Extensions with Remi Cachet founder, Victoria Lynch
lundi 4 mai 2026 • Durée 01:04:42
Ever thought about adding hair extensions to your menu, but stopped because you’re not sure how to learn them properly, the return on investment, or whether the hair is ethically sourced?
In this HTCI x Remi Cachet partnered episode, I sit down with Remy Cachet founder Victoria Lynch to get into the real questions: what responsible sourcing and sustainability actually mean in the extensions world, what salons should be asking suppliers, and where the red flags are.
We also break down the learning curve—how to move from “extensions-curious” to confidently offering them as a professional service, what training should include, and why consistency, standards and support matter just as much as the hair itself.
If you want to build a new revenue stream without compromising your values, this conversation will give you clarity and a practical way forward.

EP389: The Brutally Honest Reality of Becoming a Session Stylist with Anna Chapman
mardi 28 avril 2026 • Durée 01:00:55
Want to become a session stylist? This episode with Anna Chapman is the practical route in — not the fantasy.
I’m back in the HTCI PodShed with Anna Chapman, a leading session hair stylist with an instinctive understanding of hair and over a decade in top salons before moving into the session world. Todaywe’re to have real catch-up since we last spoke in 2020 podcast episode. Anna breaks down the actual steps to get into session work today: how to position yourself if you’re coming from salon, why session styling is a different job entirely, and what you need to do first to get on set.
We get into the assisting ladder (what assistants really do, how to reach out, how to follow up, and how to get yourself rebooked), plus the skills that matter when the pressure’s on for major brands. Anna also shares what to post on Instagram if you want work—how to show range, not just “glam”—and why persistence, visibility and standards are the long game.
If you’re serious about building a career in session hair, start here.

EP387: Broke, Bruised, and BACK! – Alex Walker’s No-Excuses Return to the Top
lundi 13 avril 2026 • Durée 45:59
Welcome to Part 1 of a two-part series where I’m joined by Alex Walker—a Torquay-based haircutting specialist, educator and the founder of AW Hair and Alex Walker Education. We recorded this episode inside Alex’s purpose-built education studio in Torquay, Devon (UK)—a dedicated space away from the salon where hairdressers can learn through in-person sessions, small groups, and online education, while staying connected to real, commercial salon work.
Alex’s journey began at 17, when he fell into hairdressing almost by accident. What started as a job became a craft. He went all-in on haircutting—especially short hair—with a mission to raise standards and help hairdressers understand the why behind what they do.
We dig into the realities of ambition, rapid growth, and salon ownership—and the moment everything changed. After his businesses went into liquidation, Alex was left asking: “I haven’t got five days’ worth of clients… what am I gonna do now?”
This is a powerful conversation on resilience, rebuilding, and staying commercially relevant.
