A podcast episode sponsored by @denmanpro

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to run a small salon business in America? While both the US and UK share a common language and similar cultures, there are significant differences between the two countries when it it comes to running a small salon business. Or is there?

In todays episode in collaboration with Denman Professional I’m to be joined by the first ever winner of the Denman Stage Star USA, Eric Marshall Wright.

Eric is the owner of his small salon business, Eric Marshall Salon in Nashville, America. He opened his business two years ago, after he stumbled across a previous salon that was a chain salon that had gone out of business.

We have lots to cover in our conversation with Eric. First up, Im keen to get a rundown from Eric on what his experiences was like entering and winning the inaugural Denman Stage Star USA. Experiences like how part of his winning prize was an all expenses paid trip to fly from Nashville to London to enter the Denman Stage Star, live on stage at Salon International . Then I get to ask questions to Eric on being an American salon owner, from hair trends to staffing, pricing to marketing strategies, and everything in between. Eric shares some fascinating insights with us!

And being a collaborative podcast with Denman Professional, we couldn’t finish the conversation without learning what Eric’s favourite Denman brush in his styling tools armoury.
