As a hairdresser, did you know that you have the amazing ability of giving back self esteem and personal confidence in someone’s life? Today’s guest Martyn Maxey knows exactly that hairdressing is a great way to impact, help and restore confidence to those that have become disadvantaged from difficult life circumstances.

After a lifetime in the hairdressing industry as one of London’s leading stylist, Martyn felt he had more to offer to women who are facing real issues in their lives and has launched The Hair Foundation to help this. A non-profit organisation, Martyn founded the concept of The Hair Foundation to become an amazing life changing charity for all concerned. Today you’ll find out how you as hairdresser can help too!

I’m floored by Martin’s passion for wanting us all to give back our amazing gift of hairdressing by helping others faced with difficult life challenges. If you’re curious how giving up a few days of your time during the year to The Hair Foundation can have an powerful impact on peoples lives, listen in–this could be just the start of something truly meaningful.

Thanks for Listening!
