from The Conversation Room · host Hugh Baird College

What does it really take to build a career in the hair industry? In this episode of The Conversation Room, we sit down with Amy from Salon Promotions and Neal and Wolf to talk about everything from breaking into the industry to the skills, confidence and business knowledge you actually need to succeed.Amy shares her journey from waitressing at Bolton Wanderers to spending eight years at GHD and now working as an account manager in the hair and beauty industry. She opens up about the misconceptions people have about hairdressing, why it's far more science-based than most people realise and what nobody teaches you about the business side of running a salon.If you're a hairdressing student, trainee, apprentice or thinking about a career in hair and beauty, this one is packed with honest advice you won't get in the classroom. Amy answers real questions from our students on everything from becoming a celebrity stylist to making your CV stand out and building confidence when you're just starting out. We also cover the biggest hair trends right now including grey blending, Hot Honey hair and why warm blondes are taking over, plus how social media is creating new opportunities for young stylists.🔔 Subscribe for more episodes of The Conversation Room👍 Like this video if you found it helpful💬 Drop a comment and tell us: what's the one thing you wish someone had told you when you started training?📲 Follow Neal and Wolf:Instagram: @nealandwolfWebsite: https://www.nealandwolf.com
