How To Cut It in the Hairdressing Industry

EP092: How Jo Irving Found Business Success in Creating ‘Undone Styles’ for Brides and Brands


Listen Later

When Jo Irving of Love Hair first found her wedding style niche of cool ‘undone styles’ for brides, she could have never imagined the exciting opportunities it would carve open for her. But don’t think it’s been an easy ride for her! Jo’s here today to share why you need to have creative skills, determination and being prepared to pivot your career in a completely new direction if you’re wanting to find your successful place in the world of hair.

A creative bridal hair stylist, entrepreneur and educator, Jo has had several successful hair business, including being a bridal hair stylist and running one of the largest hair & make-up agencies in the UK. However it was her love of not ‘wedding hair’ but creating ‘undone hairstyles’ (unstructured updos and beachy waves) that pivoted Jo’s career to teaching these cool looks of todays generation.

With a true entrepreneurial spirit and talent Jo has a passion for looking that ‘gap in the market’. This year saw Jo launched The Lovehair Business Club – a monthly subscription for stylists and salons looking for help in reaching their goals and growing their brand. Running alongside this is her Lovehair Tribe; a stylist support network for past students, where the stylists have made genuine friendships and been able to grow their businesses organically. BOOSH… how mega!

Whether it’s educating from her studio, travelling the world to styling her brides, or running this year her first ‘hair retreat’ In Ibiza, Jo is the perfect female role model to all what can be achieved in the hair industry. So if you’re looking for inspiration to help find your place in the world of hair, then this is going to be a brilliant episode for you.

Let’s do it!
