I don’t want that for you, so I’m sharing the answer to all of these questions in this podcast by discussing how to decode colour tube labels, deciding on colours to mix, tips for peroxide selection and how to approach every red & copper colour with more confidence.

Have you ever faced challenging personal times in your life and felt like you needed to put a pretend smile on and keep working in the salon without sharing anything with your clients? Or perhaps you’ve overshared and you’re now wondering how to reset boundaries that feel more comfortable for you now. 

In this episode, we’re discussing these questions and sharing self-care strategies to help hairdressers prevent burnout.

I understand from personal experience that hairdressing, when things are tough, is hard. It’s hard to manage our long hours and inflexible schedules as it is at times. It can be hard when you have to put the show on to pretend everything is ok.

It becomes even more challenging when you’re facing complicated life situations that could include a relationship breakdown, perhaps you’re caring for a parent or loved one with a terminal illness or a new diagnosis that is challenging, or you’re attending medical appointments yourself for treatments such as IVF or fertility support to name a few scenarios that are surprisingly common for us as humans that have chosen to work as hairdressers.

I'm talking with psychotherapist Hayley Jepson about how to take care of yourself in tough times.

Have you ever seen a hairdressing workshop or event shared on social media that was in your city and you wished you were there but knew nothing about it? Or perhaps you’re an educator or want to become one and you’re struggling to know more about planning dates in particular locations that don’t clash with another guest artist with a massive following.

I have been booked by brands before and had the event cancelled due to the sales team not selling enough tickets & felt really disappointed that the few people who were keen to attend now miss out on learning with me.

There must be a better way to centralise this in one place… and that’s exactly what my guest Clive Allwright and the team at Piloroo have done.

Piloroo is a Sydney-based start-up who are 100% committed to building a better marketplace for hair stylists, educators, salons and the general public. Their online platform offers salons a diverse choice when searching for a hair educator. Simultaneously, they offer stylists additional work, when it suits them, paid promptly and at rates they set.

This is fantastic news for our industry! All brands are welcome. All levels of experience can join the site and post their education event.

And because it’s for the hair, beauty and wellness industry only there’s no competition with music or arts events that often dominate regular ticketing sites. On other sites, Hairdressers can get a little lost because of the overwhelming number of events in their city.

Very few women experiencing family violence approach specialist services or the police in the first instance. However, they are likely to tell someone they trust. Due to the 'touch and talk' nature of salon work, hairdressers and other salon professionals often develop a strong and intimate bond with their clients where personal details are revealed.

Being listened to, believed and given appropriate information can have a significant impact on someone experiencing family violence. They may not have received this kind of response elsewhere and it can encourage them to seek help and safety from a family violence service. For many women, this kind of early intervention can be lifesaving.

In this episode, we’re talking about family violence training and why hairdressers are such an integral role in a community free from violence, where everyone is safe.

Do you find it difficult to talk about your brand or business?

Are you lacking the confidence you need to succeed?

If you’re ready to learn how to gain authority in your space and attract more like-minded clients with branding that lets you stand out in the crowd this is the podcast for you.  When your brand messaging is unclear or not attracting dream clients to your salon it’s time to review your branding, including who your ideal clients are and what type of work you want to do more of. 

Each of us has a unique personal brand. It’s how we speak, our language, our tone, our message and our very presence. I have reached out to Personal Branding Specialist Emma Lovelly Lovell to help us get clarity on the difference between personal and business branding.

In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between personal and business branding and why you need a personal brand strategy.

As a hairdresser, you already know how crucial social media is for growing your business and attracting new clients. But with the demanding nature of our profession, finding the time to consistently post on multiple platforms can be challenging. That's where scheduling apps come in. They offer a range of benefits that can help streamline your social media strategy and make your life easier.

Whether you're an independent stylist or work at a salon, scheduling apps can revolutionize the way you manage your online presence.

First and foremost, scheduling apps save you time. Instead of logging into each social media platform individually to post content, you can plan your posts in advance and schedule them to be published automatically. 

This means you can dedicate a specific time each week to create content and then let the app handle the rest. Imagine the freedom of not having to worry about posting on Instagram while you're busy serving clients!

Another advantage of scheduling apps is the ability to maintain a consistent posting schedule. Consistency is key in the world of social media. When your followers know when to expect new content from you, they're more likely to engage with it and keep coming back for more. With scheduling apps, you can plan your posts in advance, ensuring a steady stream of content without any gaps or lapses.

Listen to EPISODE 140 of the Colour Kristina Talks Podcast for Hairdressers to learn my stress-free approach to social media scheduling.

Whether you are a Stylist, Colourist or Salon Owner, SalonScale is the best profit app for Hairdressers! 

SalonScale Founder Alicia Soulier noticed a leak in her salon business that was directly affecting her bottom line: the colour bar. Without the proper technology to account for the cost of hair colour, many colour sessions were walking out the door unpaid. This discovery led to the creation of SalonScale, an advanced hair salon back bar software that has now earned Alicia the title of "tech founder" in her portfolio.

In this episode, we’re talking about how SalonScale technology helps to create profitable salons and stylists in the hair industry and why you need one.

Cinnamon Hair Colour draws inspiration from the warm, spicy tones of cinnamon. Imagine the rich, deep, warm hues of cinnamon sticks – a mix of red, brown, and subtle golden undertones. This colour trend is all about bringing a natural, warm, and inviting look that’s perfect for those looking to add a bit of spice to their hair without going too bold.

I’m excited about this trend because it’s a fantastic option for brunettes and blondes who want to add warmth and richness to their hair. It's a perfect blend of subtlety and boldness that works beautifully with many skin tones, styles and hair lengths.

Cinnamon is low-maintenance and highly suitable for budget-conscious salon clients during this cost-of-living crisis. 

Get ready to learn about this versatile, rich hue and how you can create this stunning look for your clients. Listen to EP 173 of the Colour Kristina Talks Podcast for Hairdressers and Salon Owners.

Keen to cut down up to 20 hours per month of administrative work and writing social media captions? I sure am! Listen to learn what I have learned in my early experiments using easy AI strategies.

I have tested out AI-generated course creation and blog creation with prompts. Some were great idea starters as opposed to full content creation done for you, and others were not quite right or sounded like me. It is all new. It is worth experimenting with. 

I love anything that can stop me from staring at a blank computer screen with a blinking cursor and getting into writing mode sooner, so I will continue to use it for email newsletters and some of my future podcasts. Can you tell the difference between me and AI or just me? What a wonderful time to get comfortable with new technology!

Online Learning has changed the way we learn & is changing our industry for the better. Most educators and coaches now offer online and in-person events or workshops to cater to more students with flexible pathways for learning. Online learning ensures that you have the best seat in the house, without having to travel to attend trade shows or hair shows. In today's technology age most education is available online and can include all the same perks and networking opportunities as in-person events.

I'll be talking about these 3 reasons to love online education:

1. Online courses are flexible for learning with support at your own pace
2. Online courses are not the only way to learn online, for example, podcasts are great for audible learners & online coaching are suitable for experiential and visual learners
3.  There is some great education online for hairdressers that is free to access

Consultations are the key to your success as a Hairdresser. The salon chair is a sacred space for the client experience.

It is important to know how we can best serve our clients without our ego preventing this. They don’t expect us to be a guru or to have all the information about every aspect of hair and world current affairs. They want to be seen, touched, feel a connection and have their hair washed/coloured/styled. Don’t overcomplicate it.

We need to contribute to the happiness in their hair. We are not perfect. We don’t need to be perfect. What does the client sitting in your chair need? It’s so important to know how to use the tools and techniques with strong communication skills as a Hairstylist.

I’m chatting with Podcast Host, Hair Stylist and Educator Crystal Green. Also known as Your Hair Mentor on social media and in her education biz.

Crystal helps hairdressers in her coaching sessions to shift their mindset around being an artist and what hair means culturally. It’s important to then talk about who you serve, take the ego away, and become the mentor for your client in the salon environment.

Working with Crystal as a coach could really help you.

In this episode, we’re talking about the 3 most important aspects of a killer consultation in the salon and why it’s so important.

Listen to EP 158 of the Colour Kristina Talks Podcast for Hairdressers and Salon Owners to learn more about the sacred chair and mastering hair consultations for your client.

Being a hairdresser is a demanding and physically intense job, and as the years go by, many older stylists may feel the pressure of staying relevant and up-to-date with the latest techniques. However, it doesn’t have to be that way.

One of the key challenges for hairdressers over 40 is staying motivated and inspired, whilst releasing the fear of bring irrelevant or out of touch.

Hair education has changed over the years. If you've been hairdressing for 20 or more years, foundational skills like curly hair, hair-painting for redheads, and dry cutting were not widely taught when we started. Social Media has also changed how we do business and attract clients.

I love the our guest interviewed in this episode 'Mr D' slid into my DMs to suggest we discuss being a hairdresser over 40 because we're both in our forties and loving it! 

Mr. D and I discuss how diversifying within the industry can help maintain passion for the craft. He emphasises the importance of constantly seeking new opportunities, whether it's creating products, specialising in niche areas, or engaging with clients in innovative ways.

His advice? "Don't be afraid to do more. Diversifying is a good thing."

This podcast episode is a lively discussion between a couple of hair industry friends who have been hairdressing for 30 years.

 Hairdressing is an art, and it's essential to find what fuels your passion. Whether it's through education, specialisation, or personal growth, staying inspired and motivated is key to a successful and fulfilling career.

It is time to raise your prices in your salon! It is ok if you have already raised them this year. In fact, it is ok to raise them every 6 months if you choose to. There are no black-and-white rules around the frequency and how you should do it, which is one of the biggest reasons hairdressers and salon owners become nervous about how to raise prices.

I reached out to my talented friend Dawn Bradley who specialises in teaching and mentoring creative service providers on how to earn more while stressing less for an interview in this episode of the Colour Kristina Talks Podcast for Hairdressers and Salon Owners. We’re talking about raising prices without raising your anxiety, plus how to find extra money in your salon business without working more hours and why you need a game plan for enforcing boundaries with kindness.

Having a cancellation policy in theory versus putting it into practice in your salon are two very different things. If you've never communicated your policy with clients, how comfortable do you actually feel in charging them for a no-show or last-minute cancellation, or the dreaded situation when a client arrives at your salon too late for their appointment. That is #awkward because it can become a face-to-face conflict or uncomfortable conversation that pulls you away from other clients. The alternative is running so late all day if you squeeze them in that your wish they actually were a no-show. 

None of this is workable. None of this is sustainable. Let me help you with some insights into how my salon business communicates policies and enforces them with kindness in this podcast.

In this episode, we’re talking about LGBTQI+ visibility in the hair industry, pronouns, positive actionable steps for allies, and how to create a gender-affirming space and inclusive salon for all clients.

I live in Sydney Australia, which is the host city for this year's world pride, plus the annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is happening. I am thrilled to be speaking with an out and proud lesbian business owner, Megan Evans,  about her colourful hairdressing career and the personal challenges during her journey of coming out to her clientele in a professional setting with support from family and friends.

Salon Owner & Educator Megan Evans has a passion for creative colour and technique and loves creating colours, cuts, and styles that are complimentary and flattering for her clients.

The hair and beauty industry has always been considered a safer space for people within the LGBTQI+ community, but we still have a long way to go with education, acceptance, and understanding of how to make sure as an industry that works so closely with our community and clients that we continue forward momentum.

This podcast is part of our Sydney World Pride 2023 series created to help you with actionable steps you can take right now to make all folks welcome in your salon.

The word niche is talked about a lot in our industry and it’s something that many hairdressers, podcasts, educators, and business coaches are suggesting for hairdressers to focus on in a COVID (lockdown) recovery or simply to scale their business in a direction that you love.

There are so many different methods to social proof your salon business. Testimonials can help you appear to be trustworthy on Facebook and Google, for example. When clients are searching for a new hairdresser in their area they will often check out Instagram first then check them out on Google, and then go back into blogs and websites.

Copper will always be trending, whether we call it Kendall Copper, Cowgirl Copper or Pumpkin Spice,  it’s a classic colour that all Hairdressers must know how to do. You can not simply have one tube of colour you mix up for every Copper request because there are so many variations that range from brownish caramels to vibrant orange and everything in between.

Cowgirl Copper, also known as Red Copper or Rusty Red, draws its inspiration from the American West.  What sets it apart is the balance between fiery red and natural copper hues, creating a mesmerising, multidimensional effect that's both vibrant and wearable.

Cowgirl Copper is the hottest colour trend of the moment & it’s a heck of a lot spicier than Caramel.

I love this trend within the red hair colour spectrum because it’s luring more and more brunettes to try something new. They're stepping away from the ash balayage requests and feeling brave to get a warm glow-up. Yay! Finally!

In this podcast, I made an exciting announcement! 

I'm hosting a LIVE Online FREE Masterclass for Hairdressers and Salon Owners to learn How To Achieve Copper Hair Colour without Red or Root Glow. For the first time, I'm including 3 epic bonus lessons that are shared as a series in the leadup to the main event in just over a week.

We’re talking about how to get 100% grey coverage when hair-painting natural Redheads or Fashion Colours. Grey coverage can be challenging when you still want brightness or vibrance for your colourful salon clients. So often hairdressers sacrifice the tone to get the coverage or vice versa. If you’ve been struggling with inconsistent colours for your grey-haired Fashionista clients, then this is the Colour Kristina Talks podcast for you!

Many hairdressers and salon owners are apprehensive about raising their prices. The fear of alienating clientele and the uncertainty of approaching these changes can be paralyzing. 

The hottest topic on every news platform, when they’re talking finance, is the cost of living crisis. I understand this is making many of us in the hair and beauty industry more scared than usual to have a price increase, and super nervous about sharing new prices with our clientele when ready to do so.

I’ve reached out to Larissa Macleman. She is a successful Salon Coach and the CEO of the Salon Owners Collective. In this episode, we’re talking about price increase strategies to keep your salon thriving in today’s economy!

It is our commercial responsibility to run a profitable business. This means we can continue to pay ourselves and our team, invest in education and new equipment, keep the doors open to serve our clients and be sustainable. Many Hairdressers are thriving regardless of the cost of living crisis. You can be one of them.

Listen to Episode 164 of the Colour Kristina Talks Podcast for Hairdressers about overcoming your fear of price increases, communicating new prices with your clients, and tips to boost your salons profitability.

Have you ever walked past the shampoo bowl and freaked out that your blue-based platinum toner looked black? I think every colourist has done this at least once. So many Hairdressers struggle with red and copper toners looking too brown or too bright. I've been there too! 

Perhaps you’ve received that dreaded phone call from an unhappy client within a week or so because their toner or glaze has faded too quickly? Sounds familiar? That's because it is and it has happened to all of us.

In this episode, we’re talking about how to prevent glazes and toners from fading quickly and why it’s not just based on time for processing for blondes, brunettes and redheads with pro tips and proven strategies that I follow in my salon business.

Why is no one talking about redheads with unwanted patchy glowing haircolour? It's insanely important to know how to avoid hot roots and banding with reds but hairdressers seem to struggle with this and clients are trying to ignore the problem and just accept it.

It doesn’t have to be like this!

Now this is where colouring for Redheads can get very tricky, because not everyone wants to look like they just stepped out of a salon, right?

Many red and copper clients want it to be “natural-looking”. Root Glow or Hot Roots is not natural. It looks like the colour formula is a F*ck-up!

In this episode, we’re talking about Peroxide Choice for Redheads. I’ll be sharing with you 4 must-know pro tips specific to choosing developers for intermixing with red and copper hair colours.

Wondering if haircolour formulas are the secrets for success as a colourist ? Let's answer that question. Haircolor Formulas are your intellectual property as a Hairdresser. Recipes with mixing ratios are important to record for every client at every visit to ensure we can maintain or change colours as needed. Formulas are not just recipes though! There’s a lot more things to factor into a formula than a simple recipe, which is why it's so important to understand how to formulate before painting hair.

The 4 key themes discussed in this podcast are;

1. Haircolour Formulas are NOT the same as recipes
2. Beware of reading formulas on Instagram & copying them without understanding the why
3. Tips to make money from new client requests in the DM's using video call technology
4. A recipe for success is to always weigh and measure colours

When it comes to salon clients requesting hair colour correction services, it's important to establish clear contracts to protect both the client and the salon. A well-drafted contract ensures that both parties understand their responsibilities, outlines the scope of work, and provides a framework for resolving any disputes that may arise. 

In this episode, we’re discussing 10 must-have inclusions in your Haircolour Correction Contracts. 

I am a Hair Colour Specialist. Many clients come to our salons with pre-existing haircolour and damage. Some clients will need a longer-term gameplan than just one visit and it's important to have a written agreement to protect your business that is agreed upon by both parties.

I’m spilling the tea on Hairdresser Facebook Group Formula Requests, and why they’re a recipe for disaster! I am freaked out by the epidemic of stylists asking strangers on the internet for help. The questions, the comments, and the misguided answers all make me so nervous I break out in hives just thinking about it.

Here’s the thing: 90% of all Hairdressers will give a Redhead Hot Roots. 2/3 of those stylists believe the only way that you can mix and formulate a beautiful Redhead is by using a particular colour brand, but your salon doesn’t stock them.

So you feel that you won’t be able to do it because someone told you the colours you stock in the salon can’t create beautiful Red & Copper formulas.

Sound relatable?

Here’s the tea: if you want to avoid messing up Reds, you have to learn how to combine Creative Colour Theory with Science. But most people end up just guessing formulas or blaming the brand they use and – shocker! — it doesn’t work!

Grey hair is trending! Silver is SEXY! It's important to learn how to offer support for clients seeking to transition from coloured hair to grey. In this podcast, I am talking with Grey Transition Expert and Author Natalie Varrasso. We’re talking about how to help clients embrace their grey & decide when and whether it’s a suitable option. This can be an emotional journey for our clients. Hairdressers need to have a strategy to support them transitioning when the time comes to stop covering their greys.

Listen to learn how to help your clients go grey!

Creative Trichology is the application of science in combination with art to achieve beautiful healthy hair, colours, cut and style results. It could also be described as a meeting of science and creativity using new technologies.

Once you understand the anatomy and physiology of hair, the services are endless that you can offer as a Trichologist. I am chatting with Expert Educator and Trichologist, Simone Lee about:

• Triscopic Technology
• Digital Cutting
• the top 3 reasons a client seeks out a Trichologist
• anti-aging for hair and scalp
• Haircolour accurate analysis using trichology

If you want to know more about how science can help you offer more accurate treatments for your clients, then this episode of the Colour Kristina Talks podcast is for you!

Scared of stripes? Not sure what foil pattern suits which hairstyle? Not If You Use these 6 Must-Know Foil Highlight TechniquesThe Right Way!

I love foiling! I love foil highlights! And I am absolutely not the only hairdresser that loves and utilizes foil fundamentals for haircolour success. 

Balayage has evolved to include so many foiling techniques, such as Foilyage, Blendage, Tip Outs, Wide Jumbo foils placed in hair with Foil and Balayage Boards, to name just a few. 

Let me take the guesswork out of the foil angles, techniques and placement for you so you can just focus on the formula. If you’re needing to freshen up your foil know-how, this is the podcast for you!

Do you struggle with confidently talking on video for Instagram? Or perhaps you get the voice wobbles in the salon when trying to suggest a client buys some products for homecare?

Hairdressing is (now) so much more than doing hair. We need to confidently talk with our clients in the salon. Plus, hairdressers are also social media content creators who must know how to speak confidently on film for new client attraction.

I have reached out to Sally Prosser, a holistic voice and public speaking coach with a background in TV news reporting and PR – and the host of That Voice Podcast with a Tik Tok following of more than 300,000.

In this episode, we’re talking about how to be a naturally confident speaker and why you need to be one as a hairdresser working behind the chair and across social media.

Fear? Not if you use these 7 must-know hair colour techniques the right way!

Most Hairdressers start colour training by applying Global Tints or Semi-Permanents, however, not everyone is taught the theory and strategies behind formula decisions. 

In this podcast, I’ll be sharing with you the 7 most important colours to learn for haircolour success. This might mean you’ll need to go back and revisit some of the fundamental colour principles and attend some foundational training again to rebook these skills, and that my friend is totally ok! In fact, I encourage you to do so.

Hot Roots, Banding, Inconsistency, Stripes and unpredictable colour results are just a few of the things that regularly go wrong with hair colours in salons. Especially when it comes to dealing with clients that have left it too long between salon visits. During the last 18 months, our industry has been negatively impacted with forced closures due to lockdowns and this has pushed clients appointments to be many months apart.

I created this podcast to help you learn my (easy) virgin tint formula and strategy to ensure you get it right the first time every time to minimise stress, product wastage and expensive redos. In this episode, we’re talking about The Best Way to Approach Long Roots & Virgin Tints.

A haircut could be affirming a look, including your gender. 

Hair Has No Gender yet so many salons are still offering men's and women's haircuts. I commit to embracing diversity and eliminating discrimination in the hairdressing and beauty industry.

I am proudly a member of The Dresscode Project. The DCP is a global alliance of salons and barbershops committed to providing positive, gender-affirming services for LGBTQ+ clients. 

My role as their Australian Change Maker is creating safer spaces with transparency around gender-free pricing and terminology within consultations and services through education.

I reached out to Jain Moralee, CEO of Twenty 10 in Sydney, Australia, during the 2023 Sydney World Pride to chat with us.

Twenty-10 work with people across Sydney and New South Wales who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and gender diverse, non-binary, intersex, questioning, queer, asexual and more (LGBTIQA+) people and others of diverse genders and sexualities, their families and communities. Together Jain and I helped to set up the very first gender-free haircut club in Australia a couple of years ago & wanted to share our experiences from the hairdresser and youth client perspective with our listeners. 

In this podcast we discuss;

• How to offer gender-affirming hair services

• Strategies for hairdressers and salons to access training for LGBTQI+ inclusivity

• How to host a gender-free haircut club for queer youth in your area

• Organisations for online and in-person training

• Plus so much more!

Now is a great time to update your service menu. This could be something you aim to do seasonally or perhaps every fashion season, which would be twice a year.

Updating your service menu by bundling popular services under exciting, trend-inspired names. Give your clients the thrill of trying something fresh with packages like "Cowgirl Copper Glaze" or "Champagne Sparkle Foils." These not only sound exciting but also create an immersive experience for clients, making them feel they're stepping into the forefront of fashion.

Consider bundling traditional services like balayage, highlights, and glossing into comprehensive packages that align with the colour trends. And price for profit by bundling your most popular colour services together with a new trending name. For example, a 'Sun-Kissed Radiance' package could combine warm-toned balayage, honey highlights, and a glossy finish. Be creative and let your imagination run wild with names that resonate with the spirit of 2024.
