Hello and welcome to the first of my podcast series with An Appointment With… Adam

Reed.

We’re starting with a bang, because British hairdressing legend Adam Reed is one of the

most articulate human beings I’ve ever met. He’s also one of the most honest, in terms of

how he’s navigated all the ups and downs of his career, and the effect they’ve had on his

life, and especially his mental health.

Over the course of the next hour, Adam talks candidly about the highs and lows of beauty

entrepreneurship (and he’s been through plenty of both with quite traumatic results) as

well as managing a massive celebrity client list, leading teams at huge Fashion Week shows,

and being the man behind the hair through all those memorable X Factor years.

Adam is a man of immense taste and style, so we also touch on a few of his personal

passions, including his tattoos and his love of fragrance, as well as some fab hair tips… which

is why we wanted to sit in his chair in the first place!

Adam sets the tone perfectly for all I hope to share with you over the next twelve weeks.

There’s plenty to unpack here, and while we do, check out Adam on:

Finally… be sure to follow him on Instagram @adamreedhair; he’s one of the few accounts I

have alerts switched on for (and I’ve pinched a good number of his posts).

Huge thanks to producer Fearghal Curtis for all his help in bringing An Appointment With…

to life. And to Cassie Delaney and Tall Tales Studios for hosting.

Big thanks also to Leonie Flynn, from L’Oreal Professionel, for making this conversation

happen.

Enjoy!
