Confidence is the big hook of todays episode. More should I say, giving your team the confidence to know how good they really are, so that they can consistently deliver workshop quality hair on salon appointment time.

When it comes to giving your team that confidence, you need a inspiring leader to steer the ship correctly to it’s dock. And on this episode of the podcast, we’re speaking with a truly inspirational leader. His name is Niall Colgan of Niall Colgan Hairdressing in Limerick, Ireland. Recognise that name?

Back in 2019 we brought Niall onto the podcast. Little did we know then how big his podcast was to become. His hard-hitting story of how he battled with the addiction of alcohol, drugs and a suicide attempt grabbed the attention of many from around the world. To have the opportunity to bring Niall back onto the show is one I couldn’t resist.

For Niall, he is so passionate that all hairdressers should be paid what they are worth. But to do this he says, “You need to be the best versions of yourself, everyday!” By being this means we need to deliver the very best hair work to every single client. Niall and his team of motivated hairdressers are being installed with this.

Taking the inspiration of the hair work from the worlds leading educators, Niall Colgan Hairdressing are reproducing this workshop quality hair on the salon floor. In doing so means they are giving each client a high valued product and service every single time. And the result of this, hairdressers earning more money. Sounds good?

As you dive in to this episode, put these words of Niall’s into your head, “Be so good they cannot ignore you!”
