I understand the challenges of creating the perfect red or copper hair colour. I've been there—accidentally creating hot roots and struggling with unpredictable results. Not anymore. My breakthrough came when I revisited my Art School notes and developed a unique approach to Creative Colour Theory.
I carefully studied the art period called the Australian Moderns, which saw a collection of artists painting colourful scales, in a similar way musicians read musical scales to play instruments.
Today, my world-renowned strategies and techniques have revolutionised how hairdressers achieve consistent, beautiful reds, coppers and strawberry blondes.
Join me to listen and learn more in episode 186, and let's paint your town red!

Entering an award is time-consuming, expensive, and overwhelming—I get it. Everyone wants that trophy and believes they have what it takes, or they wouldn’t enter, right?
You might be surprised to learn that many hairdressers face imposter syndrome and worry they’re not good enough to be in the spotlight, while others are driven by ego or see it as part of a bigger strategy for long-term success, win or lose.
I was honoured to be a finalist for the 2024 Australian Hair Industry Awards (AHIA) Educator of the Year, a pivotal moment in my career. In this episode, I share why not winning the award was actually a strategic win for me—and how it can be for you too.
Entering industry awards is often seen as the ultimate measure of recognition, but what if not winning can be just as valuable? Join me as I unpack my journey, the transformations that came with it, and the lessons that can fuel your career growth.

In this episode, I’m sharing something I have never done before on the podcast. I’m spilling the tea on how to achieve copper hair colour with a special audio recording from one of my recent live masterclasses.
I’ve just wrapped up teaching 2 live online classes for hairdressers. I’m so thrilled that we had more than 3,000 hairdressers and salon owners registered to attend.
That makes a total of approximately 10,000 Hairdressers who have attended my livestream classes in the last couple of years, and learned about my world-renowned approach to hair painting for reds and copper hair colouring. So I’ve done something a little different for this episode.
This is an expiring podcast episode. This will be something you can only listen to for a few days before I remove it from all the listening apps.
In my online class, I announced that my all-time favourite online program Hair Painting for Redheads is currently on sale with an incredible $300 off the regular price. That’s reduced from $895 to $595. This podcast is the audio recording of my most loved live online class ‘How to Achieve Copper Hair Colour without Red or Root Glow’.
I’ll be sharing this podcast for as long as the VIP Masterclass sale is on and this will expire (just like the class replay does) when my special price ends on Tuesday, 8th October.

Box Dyes? Yay or Nay? Where do you sit on this topic? Are you angry or annoyed when a client has been colouring their own hair with box dye? Or do you operate a judgement free zone in your salon for DIY’ers?

Box dyes have seen a resurgence lately due to their affordability and accessibility. With rising expenses, many individuals are opting for cost-effective solutions to maintain their hair. As salon professionals, it's important to understand why clients choose box dye and how we can support them in achieving their desired results without judgment.

Being a hairdresser is a demanding and physically intense job, and as the years go by, many older stylists may feel the pressure of staying relevant and up-to-date with the latest techniques. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. One of the key challenges for hairdressers over 40 is staying motivated and inspired, whilst releasing the fear of bring irrelevant or out of touch.
Hair education has changed over the years. If you've been hairdressing for 20 or more years, foundational skills like curly hair, hair-painting for redheads, and dry cutting were not widely taught when we started. Social Media has also changed how we do business and attract clients.
I love the our guest interviewed in this episode 'Mr D' slid into my DMs to suggest we discuss being a hairdresser over 40 because we're both in our forties and loving it!
Mr. D and I discuss how diversifying within the industry can help maintain passion for the craft. He emphasises the importance of constantly seeking new opportunities, whether it's creating products, specialising in niche areas, or engaging with clients in innovative ways.
His advice? "Don't be afraid to do more. Diversifying is a good thing." This podcast episode is a lively discussion between a couple of hair industry friends who have been hairdressing for 30 years.
Hairdressing is an art, and it's essential to find what fuels your passion. Whether it's through education, specialisation, or personal growth, staying inspired and motivated is key to a successful and fulfilling career.
