Salon Stories Podcast Has Landed and We’re Kicking Off with a Legend!

Well, it’s official… Salon Stories Podcast is live! 🎉 I’m absolutely buzzing to finally share this passion project with you all. 

What’s it all about, then?
Salon Stories is your backstage pass to the hair and beauty industry. Each episode features honest conversations with some of the most inspiring professionals in our world – from how they got started, to the challenges they’ve faced, the big wins they’ve celebrated, and the dreams that keep them going. Whether you’re fresh to the floor or have years behind the chair, there’s something so powerful about hearing each other’s journeys. It reminds us why we fell in love with this industry in the first place.

And who better to kick things off than... Phil Smith!
Yep, the very first episode features the incredible Phil Smith – award-winning hairdresser, celebrity stylist, and the brains behind the iconic Phil Smith brand. 

Phil shares how he stumbled into hairdressing (with a little help from Wham and a girl he fancied at college!), and how that unexpected beginning turned into a glittering career with salons of his own and products lining shelves across the UK. But it’s not just about his success – we chat about the real stuff: the risks, the reinventions, and the relentless drive it takes to make it in this fast-moving industry.

If you’re in the hair or beauty world, or even if you just love a good story, I think you’ll find a little spark of inspiration in this episode. We’re here to learn from one another, to laugh, to relate – and to keep the passion for our craft burning bright.
