Episode Sixteen. S3: Antony Whitaker takes us behind the curtain to talk about his platform “Grow My Salon Business”

In this episode, Hayley and Antony dive into the evolving landscape of the hairdressing industry, sharing their own journeys and perspectives on education, employment models, and the state of creativity in the salon world. From perm trends and the rise of online learning to the decline of industry awards and shifting business models, the duo offers a candid, insightful conversation about where the industry has been—and where it might be heading. We’re not giving too much away, but this episode has so much value for anyone wondering if their view of the industry aligns with Antony's.
