In this ‘How To Cut It’ episode I know that you’re really going to be entertained by a true hairdressing legend. Joining me today is Lee Stafford – one the most famous and recognised names to come out of British hairdressing in the last 20 years.

From starting out cutting hair in his mum’s living room, Lee’s career went into overdrive after winning British Mens Hairdresser of the Year in 1998. I’ve invited Lee here today to not only gain more insights on his success stories and fame, but to learn more on his Lee Stafford Academies opening up in colleges around the United Kingdom.

In this episode you’ll hear why Lee’s got a bee in his bonnet for wanting to change the way colleges train their hairdressing students. You’ll also hear about his omelette analogy, creating his winning collection for the British Hairdressing Awards, working as a hairdresser on prime-time television, and lots more. This is a seriously value-packed episode–don’t miss out!
