How To Cut It in the Hairdressing Industry

EP369: Michael Douglas – Finding My True Self!


Listen Later

Celebrity hairdresser Michael Douglas joins the How To Cut It podcast in this blockbuster episode! From his early days in hairdressing to becoming a well-known TV personality (BBC1’s One Show), Instagram influencer (@mdlondon), and the partner of Davina McCall (co-host of the Making The Cut podcast), Michael’s journey has been anything but ordinary.

We explore his career-defining moments, including the controversial advice he gave on The One Show during lockdown that led to industry backlash, lost brand contracts, death threats, and an Ofcom investigation. Despite this, Michael continued to build on his true passion of helping people feel their best by becoming the leading hair care consumer-focused hairdresser, building his award-winning mdlonondon styling tools brand, sharing expert insights on his Instagram lives with his 236K Instagram loyal legion of followers, and inspiring consumers to look and feel their very best with their hair.

This raw, candid conversation highlights resilience, risk-taking, hard work, and why Michael believes bridging the gap between hairdressers and consumers is vital for the industry. Whether you’re a hairdresser seeking inspiration or just curious about his story, this episode is packed with lessons and powerful takeaways.
