Respectfully

A conversation between the producers of Colour World Nicky Pope, Ellie Scott and Renee Myburgh on their journey to making Colour World a phenomenal success! They look at how the event was established in 2016 and has gone from strength to strength.

The team discuss what they wanted to create for hairdressing, and refer to a quote from hairdresser and colourist Carolyn Newman on why it was so timely. Nicky explains how the Colour World event is anti-zoo, immersive and 100% dedicated to colourists. Independent and dynamic, this has become an unmissable event on the hairdressing calendar. Her colleagues Ellie and Renee share their insight into why 2,000 people each year gather to celebrate the Colour World experience. The producers of Colour World know the key is in making it dedicated to colourists only!

From innovative brand launches for the likes of Olaplex, Blonde Solutions and yuv Beauty, there is always a lot to discover. Nicky, Ellie and Renee recall key moments in the development of Colour World into an event with an excellent reputation. Podcast producer Alfie James also works on production at the Colour World event and adds in his view, too!

As well as larger companies, many independent colourists attend to take time in the Colour Shairs to show off what they can do. The conversation reminds us that colour titans love the event, too.  From Larissa Love, Sophia Hilton and Jack Howard to Conor Doyle, Trevor Sorbie and John Paul de Joria, you always have big personalities to catch up with. You can see so many different techniques and be inspired by the best in the industry.

Listen to the comments added from guests who have been on the Respectfully podcast over the years to hear their enthusiasm.

Tom Smith joins the Respectfully podcast host Nicky Pope for a conversation about having a portfolio career in hairdressing! They chat about how to find a great balance in what you pursue including session styling, salon work and being a brand ambassador. Tom shared his views on working with the owner of a salon to create a mutually rewarding way of running a client list while undertaking roles away from the salon. As an educator, innovator and sessionista with many calls on his time, Tom has great advice. Growing a massive Instagram following has been important in creating his personal brand. And, Tom also explains to Nicky how he has carved out a reputation for trends forecasting. 

Tom Smith trained with Vidal Sassoon – where he initially focussed on being a colourist. He credits his time at the company with his discipline and understanding of taking a holistic view of each client service such as considering the texture of hair at all times. Going on to practice cutting skills to balance his considerable technical knowhow on colour, Tom now is more than competent to deliver a complete service on all hair types. Based for the past 13 years or so at Billi Currie salon in central London, Tom is able to purse a his ‘portfolio' style hairdressing career thanks to the open-minded and supportive attitude of his bosses Billi and his wife Debbie Gee. 

Tom tells the Respectfully podcast how he has become interested in product innovation – being one of the first adopters, and ambassador, for Olaplex. He has also been working with the Australian brand Evo, and travels extensively delivering education around the world.

Welcome to the new series of Spring podcasts for 2024! We open with a retro look at one of our earlier recordings. In 2021 we hosted a podcast recording with Jo Irving and Oliver Blackaby. A hairdresser, salon owner and business coach, Jo had been working with Ollie on how to focus on his mental health whilst also launching his first salon. The Hair Salon in Hove on England's south coast is now three years old, and going well. Now for this new series of podcasts, Jo and Ollie return to tell Respectfully podcast host Nicky Pope how they continue to work together. Their mutual respect for one another is uplifting, and each guest has a lot to share about the value of business coaching in today's world. 

Jo Irving is a salon owner and professional business coach and a personal coach. In the conversation, she explains her personal journey to build a career and safeguard her own wellbeing. She has recently returned from a one month mediation training in Bali. Jo also hosts retreats, and you'll hear her explain the value of gifting yourself time to focus on what you want from yourself and your business in a safe space. 

Oliver Blackaby is celebrating three years of The Hair Salon, a 10-chair salon which he shares with a group of freelance hairdressers. He is open and honest about the process of business coaching and speaks eloquently of his time on a recent retreat in Dorset, hosted by Jo Irving. Today Ollie is so confident of his business that he can spend time away from the salon on projects including a podcast The So Lovely Talk Show which he presents with Siobhan Jones, and building his own education platform.
