Have you ever considered joining forces with a fellow industry colleague to create unique hair education? Interested to know more, then we’ve a treat for you today.

In todays episode we have to heavy hitters of Irish Hairdressing, as I’m joined by the owner of Cut Social, Katrina Kelly, and L’Oreal Young Colourist winner, Conor Doyle. Both with an aligned common goal of collaboratively sharing to the industry their experiences and passions for their craft, I love how and why these two free spirits came together back in 2018.

Fulled by each others creativity and drive, Katrina and Conor are a generation of hairdressers attracted to collaborating – in their case, as collaborative educators. Creating education together has helped them to bring out each others best skills, whilst bouncing off each others different expertise. As Connor says, “We have very different ways that we educate and do hair. This provides a different mindset that you can pick and choose in creating unique hair education.”

If there is one takeaway that I hope you get from todays podcast, is that you and your industry peers that you respect have so much potential together, by joining forces to share and inspire others. By working collaboratively can also help you become more aware of your strengths, as well as your weaknesses … so go on, give it a go!
