CHARLIE CULLEN X JODY TAYLOR

This 2020 conversation between the two men’s hair specialists is definitely worth a listen.

When a 17-year-old Charlie Cullen walked into the Toni&Guy Academy London back in 2005, Jody Taylor was the course teacher. With similar backgrounds and creative visions, the pair instantly hit it off and what progressed was not only a career-long working relationship but a lasting friendship. Fifteen years later, when this podcast was recorded, both had already achieved enviable reputations in the men’s hair market. Jody’s CV was packed with big brand collaborations – from Topman to Pretty Green, shoots with notable names like Callum Turner and magazine credits including GQ and Hunger. And Charlie had established a successful international education programme and was regularly working backstage regular at London Fashion week. They had a ball recording this podcast for us, and it’s worth a listen.

HEADMASTERS CELEBRATES 2023 SUCCESS

Voice of TV’s Love Island, Iain Stirling, revealed winners at HM Awards.

Salon group Headmasters revealed its big winners of 2023 at London Evolution in Battersea Park, with a carnival-themed event attended by more than 800 Headmasters team members. 

Staff from 54 salons, two academies and its head office gathered to recognise and celebrate the achievements of Headmasters throughout 2023, with award winners revealed by Iain Stirling, host comedian and the voice of TV’s Love Island. 

The event was kicked off with a hair show by the Headmasters Artistic Team, led by creative ambassadors Clare Hansford and Sian Couldridge.  It showcased four themes to illustrate how society’s definition of beauty has changed over time, from the Elizabethan era to modern day and beyond to how beauty may evolve in the future. 

The awards followed, celebrating both creativity and business successes as well as service milestones and those who made record takings to be named on the Headmasters A-List and Honours List. The climax was a live raffle, where every colour appointment in 2023 earned stylists a ticket and a chance to win £10,000 to spend at Selfridges.
