[300] For many, hair loss due to chemotherapy is one of the most feared and traumatic side effects. Shockingly, according to HairToStay, 8% of women will decline potentially life-saving chemotherapy because of their fear of losing their hair.

HairToStay is dedicated to changing that. As the first and only national (US) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping low-income cancer patients afford scalp cooling as well as subsidizing the treatment, HairToStay helps raise awareness, offer information and support patients considering the use of scalp cooling to prevent chemo-induced hair loss. And now, they’re turning up the volume on awareness with a series of exciting events for their scalp cooling subsidy program. From salons and haircare brands to everyday supporters, they’re counting on the entire community to rally behind this life-changing cause.

Guests: Sydney Berry, Stacey Soble, Gayle Fulbright, Bethany Hornthal, Noah Warren, Sheri Rearick

[175] When the coronavirus pandemic hit earlier this year, James Davis went back to digging deep, working 16-hour days, and thinking outside the box to figure out what he could do to keep his various business operations alive and lead positively through change and uncertainty.

Enabling his salon, Clay, to financially evolve while supporting the team with a new work platform as they returned, his 'thinking outside the box' mindset also led to a village togetherness featured in national newspapers and magazines. Inspired by the "Pay It Forward" mentality and determined to give back to the very people who had contributed to his entrepreneurial success over the years, James Davis pulled together volunteers from all fields and launched Oxshott Delivery. 

In this episode, hear Phorest's CEO Ronan Perceval and entrepreneur James Davis discuss recent projects, what changes both lockdown and reopening have brought to his salon, and how leading positively through change positioned him and his local businesses as community linchpins.

[057] Now in its fourth year, the Salon Owners Summit has become one of the most talked about event in the hair and beauty industries in Europe as well as further afield. Last year's event attracted salon owners, therapists and stylists from the USA, Finland, Sweden, Ireland, Scotland and England. This year, the Summit's theme was 'Great Starts Here' and starred speakers Gavin Hoare, Steve Martin, Valerie Delforge and Tabatha Coffey.

To kick off the year in style, Killian and Zoe headed over to the event for exclusive interviews with both Steve Martin (Science of Persuasion) and Tabatha Coffey (Tabatha Takes Over on Bravo TV), gather vox pops, thoughts and reflexions, and generally speaking, cover the day!

[061] People quit their jobs for various reasons: some leave because of a work-life imbalance, others for lack of growth opportunities or for feeling undervalued.

[062] By May 25th, 2018, it is going to be mandatory for salons within the EU to collect, house and protect clients’ personal data and information in a secure manner. But also, to be uber-transparent about how it was collected. Salons will be required to provide a clear audit trail as to how the information was collected. Failure to comply with this governmental requirement could cost your business thousands — or worse, you could lose it altogether.

On this episode of Phorest FM, Killian and Zoe are joined by Phorest Salon Software's Head of Marketing, Connor Keppel, to get a better understanding of what exactly is GDPR and how salon owners can prepare for it.

[063] The concept of leadership has been around for generations. Today, leaders come in all shapes and sizes. But what are the universal principles behind what we deem as good leadership? How can we bridge the gap between generations and create the one business everyone wants to work for?

Stephen R. Covey once said, “To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.” And that’s precisely salon coach David Barnett of The High Performance Stylist's point of view on things as well. On the show this week, he joins Killian and Zoe to discuss inspired leadership and ways to shape the dream workplace.

[187] It's safe to say we've come a long way since the first synthesised dye in 1863: products have evolved a great deal, and so have application techniques. Currently, you could probably list over 50 colour trends travelling back and forth across the globe, with some going viral overnight.

For a first-time colour client, it's easy to think that anything is possible — after all, social media does make us feel like the sky is the limit in terms of creative colour. However, not everything is always possible, and most definitely not in one appointment. If you truly care for the result, you never just get a colour. You commit to one. That means agreeing to consultations, multiple appointments, home care, maintenance, being patient, and of course, being conscious it will require a certain budget.

Featuring Kristina Russell (@colourkristina), salon owner, multiple award-winning hair colour specialist, educator, and podcaster herself, this week's episode explores what her bespoke colour journeys look like for both her and her clients.

Because let's face it, no matter how much you hire for a culture fit and work to keep it alive and well, wherever you have people with different needs and expectations, there is potential for conflict. The key therein lies in making teams understand why there is conflict and how to use it as a springboard for success.

[067] The closer in time we get to May 25th, the higher the chances that businesses will be facing a much more GDPR-concerned and ‘private’ customer. For a salon who prides itself on delivering a standout salon experience, could GDPR turn into an opportunity to build even more trust with existing and potential clients? And for salons based in the UK, also in the midst of dealing with Brexit, is GDPR taken just as seriously as it is within the EU? 

On this week's episode of Phorest FM, Killian and Zoe take the pulse of the situation as they are joined by Nicola Sharp, owner of award-winning salon Enhance Beauty & Spa, in Penicuik, and whose mission is all about providing the best salon experience.

[069] Happy Easter Monday! The #30Days2Grow challenge has finally kicked off last Sunday (April 1st - not an April fool's joke) and this first week is all about retail. What better way to kick off our exclusive interview series this month than by inviting Summit workshop speaker and Founder of Visual Sense, Rowena Doyle, to discuss all things visual merchandising. Is there a theory behind displaying products? What are the best ways to get retail displays to stand out? What strategies tend to be most useful when you want to announce special offers and promotions? All this and more in this week's Phorest FM episode.

[181] When you think of great leadership, the words that come to mind might be accountability, confidence, passion, empathy, transparency, self-awareness and integrity. Rarely do we think about humility first. Yet, leading with humility can have profound and positive impacts on one's inner circle and peers.

Featuring Karan Burke, Director of Ebano Ballinteer, Myskincare.ie, and Co-Founder of The Beauty Managers, this week's episode discusses facing adversity with leadership, drive & a positive outlook, finding stillness through change, building security for yourself & others, and much more.

[070] We’re in the second week of #30Days2Grow, a salon challenge that aims to banish the stigma around having to heavily discount to get more clients in. Last week was a very busy week for all of our 30Days2Grow participants, especially for anyone who had signed up for their first year and had no idea of what to expect.

With this in mind, this week on the show, Killian and Zoe are joined by Personal Trainer and Health Coach Aaron Carroll to go through some tips to not only keep everyone fuelled throughout the 30-day challenge, but also ensure that anyone who isn't taking part also avails of professional advice on how to juggle the demands of your salon work and the rest of your life.

[071] For the third instalment of the special #30Days2Grow interview series, Killian and Zoe are joined by Salon Maitre D’ Gavin Hoare, or as described by some, the 'master of all salon managers'. As a vital part of the management structure at the London-based salon Richard Ward Hair & Metrospa, Gavin runs the ultimate super salon with 90 staff, 1,200 clients per week and 250 innovative hair and beauty treatments and services. His unique and unrivalled talents as a leader and a ‘people person’ coupled to his background in hairdressing make him the ideal guest to not only discuss how to define and deliver the ultimate client experience, but also touch upon staff empowerment.

[217] Following up on our recent conversation with Advanced Healing Artist for L'ANZA and Salon Centric influencer Christopher Aaron, we turn our eyes to the UK, where, in a long-overdue change, the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Hairdressing have now been updated to include mandatory training in cutting and styling of afro and textured hair.

Featuring haircare specialist and co-founder of Cognito Hair in London, this week's episode explores Shareefa Jennings' journey in the salon industry, her thoughts on the announcement of the new standards, as well as what she deems necessary for growth both as a hairdresser and salon owner, inclusiveness and exceptional client care.

[082] As with any form of advertising, businesses want to be seen everywhere to maximise every opportunity to reach their target market. Whether it be Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or LinkedIn, it has now become the norm for businesses to be on at the very least one channel. But how do you pick the good one to be on? And from there, how do you connect with your audience?

With 20 years in the beauty industry owning and managing salons on top of getting certified in digital marketing, Jennifer Swaine knows well about creating a brand narrative and promoting beauty services online. So much so that she's caught TV3 Xpose's attention in Dublin with her latest business venture Leeson Beauty Lounge, where she and her team provide high quality express beauty treatments (nails, brows, lashes) for busy women on the go! 

This week on the show, Jennifer joins Killian and Zoe to discuss the role and the importance of social media in the hair and beauty industry.

[083] For anyone running a salon or spa, one of your main objectives is figuring out how to build your client base. Obviously, I mean more clients means more business. But what if it wasn’t just about building a client base, but more about building the right client base?

In this episode of Phorest FM, salon owner, hairdresser & speaker Pamela Laird discusses the getting rid of the Bettys and attracting more of the Bernies. She explains: "We all have a Betty. You know the type – she’s booked for a full cut and colour, the last time she was in she was 25 minutes late, and the time before that she didn’t turn up. She never listens and always moans about her colour fading. But what does she expect? She’s using some crappy store-bought products that you wouldn’t use on your daughter’s dolls. The pain of working with these clients is not worth the return – instead, working with the right clients will bring you joy, motivation and it will grow your business."

If your salon/spa is struggling with attracting the right type of clients, then this episode is for you!

[085] There are two types of people in the world: those who never seem to have enough time on their hands, and those who always seem to achieve so much more than everyone else in the space of the same 24 hours.

In which category do you fit? Are you the type to think: "Wouldn't it be amazing if I could get an extra hour or two a day?"

You're not alone. A whole lot of people feel the same way.

This week on Phorest FM, Killian & Zoe are joined by James Parnell, Founder and Lead Coach at The WellBeing Gym. James is known to create sustainable performance improvements and increase creativity, clarity of thinking and decision making. Time management is merely a new concept. But this episode isn't just about time. It's about energy, daily routines, timeboxing, efficiency versus productivity, and so much more.

[088] The facts: a lot of clients don't have an email address on file, emails take on average 48 hours to be opened/read, and their open rate is around 23%. The truth? Chances are you're missing out on marketing to at least 68% of your client database. Not to say that you shouldn't be doing email marketing. You should. But what if there was a way to get a hold of all those clients who didn't have an email on file?

If aligned with existing email campaigns, SMS marketing becomes a direct and invaluable tool to get your clients back in salons and spas more often. To discuss this whole 'SMS in support of Email' concept, Killian and Zoe welcome back two Phorest in-house guests to the show: Luke Doolin and Helen Devenney, from the Grow and Education teams respectively. For this episode of Phorest FM, expect some in-depth explanations about what works best for the hair and beauty industry, some laughs and a few announcements!

[089] Unwelcome news in the Irish hairdressing industry this month. On October 9th, 2018, the Irish Minister for Finance announced a VAT (Value Added Tax) increase for hairdressing services along with a rise in National Minimum Wage and employers PRSI contribution, resulting in an industry call-to-action held on October 23rd, 2018.

To take the pulse on the matter, Killian and Zoe are bringing you straight into the action of the Hairdressing Council of Ireland's Protest March to gather clips from the protest, interviews featuring Bridget Haren and Sean Taaffe, President and Vice President of the Hairdressing Council of Ireland as well as a discussion with Phorest's very own Declan Kehoe and Lisa O'Brien.

Disclaimer: VAT & Beauty Salons

Phorest Salon Software's stance: Beauty salons have always been on the 13.5% VAT rate. However, we strongly believe VAT rates for both should be reduced to 9%, given as both types of salons face similar challenges. Read more in CEO Ronan Perceval's letter to the industry here.

[201] The COVID-19 global pandemic has accelerated the need for all businesses to connect, sell and communicate online. Now more than ever, businesses that capitalise on social media, digital advertising and e-commerce not only survive, but thrive. If 2020 was the year of change, perhaps 2021 can become the year of opportunity: how well has your salon adapted to consumer behaviour changes?

This week, Head of Phorest Pay Europe Niamh Greaney joins the show to talk through how salons can get a personalised report on their business' Online Health Score and identify the triggers they can pull to up their game.

[091] Wouldn't it be great to wake up one morning and know exactly what your appointment book looks like 12 months in advance? Having clients fly across borders to get 90-minute facials?

On Phorest FM this week, Killian and Zoe welcome Katt Philipps, owner of Grafin Skin & Beauty, to talk about turning unmanageable appointment books into more than manageable - with little to no marketing budget.

[092] A few months ago, Phorest Salon Software's CEO, Ronan Perceval, and Director of Product, Paddy Monaghan, spent a day working in The Space salon in Dublin, co-owned Nadine Quinn and Carla McQuillan. This week on the show, Killian and Zoe welcome both Nadine and Carla to discuss salon culture.

The Space hosts regular soulful events like yoga workshops, art classes, poetry reading, movie nights and all things good for the soul. With their wealth of experience from the industry, Nadine & Carla have been leveraging their salon culture to elevate their staff and create a positive work environment. Building a strong company culture isn't an easy feat though. So the question is, should we be investing more time into developing a ‘salon culture’? What impacts can it have on a salon or spa?

[094] Just because everything we know is taking a digital turn, it doesn’t mean that technology is infallible. Sometimes, outages happen. As a consumer, it’s important to know what causes these disruptions and what you can do to protect your business when a system you rely on temporarily fails.

This week on the show, Killian and Zoe sit down with John Doran, Director of Engineering at Phorest Salon Software. You'll get a better understanding of what outages are, their possible causes and what happens behind the scenes when a system goes down.
