Simply provide your email address, and you’ll get automatic access to podcasts, videos, articles, webinars delivered direct to your inbox each month.

It also means you can dip back into any previous HUB content that may have become relevant to your business situation. Simply log in and soak it all up!

Eager to see what November has in store? Here’s what’s NEW ON THE HUB THIS MONTH:

Business is blooming – In a new instalment of Behind the Brand, we catch up with Danielle Garner, owner of Wildflower salon in Dublin. From first branching out as a solo operation, to solidifying the message at the heart of everything the now multi-award-winning business does, Danielle recounts the journey of sowing the seeds of her session and salon-life dream, and finally seeing the creative concept blossom.
A (Brad)shaw thing – In episode four of ‘The Talk’, Dylan and Charlotte Bradshaw share their reflections on business past and present, and chat about the changes they’re implementing as the salon approaches its 21st birthday. Frank, funny and full-throttle, hear from the pair about working smarter not harder, following their own lead, and putting staff (not clients) first.

Copper load of this – After seven years of research, L’Oréal stylists and scientists made a key discovery: hair containing high levels of copper metals from our water supply can be more prone to breakage and unreliable colour results. To help counter this, the team developed a breakthrough product – Metal Detox – which neutralises the excess copper metal found inside hair, helping to maintain condition and improve results. Discover more, learn how to boost your colour business and show clients that ‘colour’ needn’t equal ‘damage’.

Want in? Enjoy all this, and never miss a business beat again, by signing up for FREE Salon Smart HUB access >

Ready, set, go! A high energy, high impact catwalk from @bafcsm for the annual White Show. ‘Sport is our fashion’ was the motto, and @clarehansford_hair of @headmastersuk absolutely nailed the brief for @lorealpro @lorealpro_education_uki 👏Working with ID Artists and team members from Portfolio salons, Clare led the way to create looks for 140 models with just three hours prep time! The overall vibe for the show was to give a damp finish, but with varying levels to reflect how hair can look during sporting activities.End results ranged from damp curls around the face to a soaking, wet-look finish reminiscent of “playing squash for two hours,” Clare said. Forget your next gym class, this is all the sporting action you need! #hair #hairdressing #hairdresser #headmasters #fashionshow #centralsaintmartins #whiteshow #wetlookhair #bafcsm #csmwhiteshow #sessionstylist #lorealpro #runwayhair
