I want you to all meet Perry Patraszewski. He’s the co-founder of Blue Tit London and Hairtribe.tv, a awesome online hairdressing training platform that gives accessibility to some of the most exciting hair artists from wherever you are based. Today he’s about to share how Hairtribe’s mission is to empowering stylists globally with new skills – helping those passionate and eager to realise their dreams.

When Perry first arrived in London from his native homeland of Poland, he wanted to do something great in hairdressing but didn’t know where his place was to do this. After dipping his toes into different areas of the hairdressing industry, he and his business partner Andy opened their first Blue Tit salon in Dalston, East London, which has since had staggering success with the opening of 7 more London salons.

In this episode, you’ll hear how Perry created Hairtribe after his Blue Tit Art team and a translator presented a hair show to 2000 people in Bologna, Italy, and how he thought to himself: “What if i could deliver this education to them in their native language and on demand whenever they wanted it”. From that moment Hairtribe was born!

I’m such a fan of how Perry saw an opportunity to start an online training platform, seized it, and is now delivering online videos, each week, in six languages. Listen in and enjoy!
