    EP394: Hair Colour Ingredient Truths with Ursus Schweitzer
    Jun 29 2026
    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 Product Developer who bridges the lab and the salon floor. He observes how products are 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 alkalisers) 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
    Jun 8 2026
    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. Hit Play!

    EP392: Hairstylists Belong On Stage!
    May 23 2026
    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. Ready to take your first step onto stage? Hit play. EPISODE RESOURCES APPLY FOR A STAGE SPOT AT SHAIR!
