Today we listen to Dennis Langford, who was MD of Toni & Guy Australia. Dennis was renowned for his excellent communication skills, and this is what he'll be discussing today - because he believes the most important skills a hairdresser can have are not cutting or colouring, but the ability to influence people we come into contact with to buy into the suggestions we have. 

Antony Whitaker is the Founder of growmysalonbusiness.com, which is a UK based education company focused on developing the business side of the hairdressing industry by presenting a range of seminars, books, podcasts, video content and 1-1 coaching. Like many of us, Antony was at a stage in his career where he was kicking hairdressing goals, so thought it was only natural to open his own salon. In hindsight, he says, that's NOT a good enough reason to open your own business! Today Antony talks about the reasons why you SHOULD open a salon...and the reasons why you SHOULDN'T. Great listening ahead, thanks Antony!
