Would you like to know if there is a secret sauce for success? And why does it appear on social media that some hairdressers have success due to a series of lucky breaks?
In Episode 12 of the Colour Kristina Talks podcast, I interview Expert Educator and Salon Owner, Tom White, about haircutting, hard work and how to have fun doing what you do every day behind the salon chair.
He shares loads of tips for hairdressers across his social media channels, as well as touring the globe teaching hairdressers the fundamentals for cutting hair with Aussie brands, Little of the Top and evo haircare.

Warning!! There are a few F*#^ bombs and explicit language, because the man is passionate about his craft. In fact, I would go as far to say he is a bloody legend!
I have created a freebie resource on my website blog page to help you create a long term commitment booking plan for your clients. It’s a free learning resource to download and save or print off and laminate on your back room salon wall.
