Jason Hall, Hair Stylist & Session Stylist

from The Business Of Modelling

Jason Hall reflects on growing up in Edinburgh and entering hairdressing as a teenager, initially drawn to the energy and personality of the job before discovering discipling and structure it truly requires. What began as traditional salon training developed into a career spanning more than four decades, combining technical precision with fashion-led creativity.In this episode, he speaks about building his reputation within international session styling and fashion week teams, working across London, Milan, Paris and New York. Along the way he has contributed to shows and creative projects for designers including John Galliano, Thom Browne, Yohji Yamamoto and Rick Owens, as well as major productions such as Tommy Hilfiger's TommyLand in Los Angeles. He reflects on the reality of backstage environments, the pace and pressure of shows, and the mentors who shaped his approach to creative hair.Jason is open about early setbacks and learning on the job, from felling out of his depth on his first major show to developing the confidence needed to lead large backstage teams. He also discusses how standards across the industry have changed over time, with education, social media and global fashion coverage raising the level of both stylists and client expectations.Alongside his international work, Jason has continued to run a successful salon business in Edinburgh, balancing loyal clients at home with the demands of session styling. His perspective on success has evolved from ambition and expansion to consistency, loyalty and enjoying the work itself. Throughout the conversation, one theme runs clearly: lasting careers in hair are built through resilience, strong relationships and a commitment to continually improving your craft.www.businessofmodelling.co.ukwww.jasonhallhairdressing.comwww.coloursagency.com Hosted on Acast.
