Why this weekend proves social puts the scissors back in your hands?

Hosts: Corey Gray with Co Host Geno Chapman @genochapman
Guests: @andrewsmithhairstylist @shelleylane_inspires @gianlucagrechi @milkshakehairpro

Backstage energy
Electric prep… tribal goddess hair to the floor… avant garde build tactics… securing heavy pieces without drama.

Social as your voice
And brands used to dictate the look. But hairdressers now set the trend. Therefore you can grow from any town with work that travels.

Shelley’s home salon
Childhood house turned calm studio. Why feel and environment matter. How education reignited a 20 year career.

Gianluca’s path
London training… people watching for real world inspiration… AI as a sketchbook… then proving it by hand.

Andrew’s lens
Light and reflection as the brief. Fostering kids while touring. The heart behind the craft and what family can look like.

BeautyNova x milk_shake x Ibiza
Poolside activations, DEPOT man cave vibes, Guinness record memories, and the Hard Rock closing as we walked out.
