Salon Suites ~ A new way of working
Celebrity Stylist John Gillespie, who has over 38 years in the industry and has styled stars including Beyonce & Kylie Minogue, describes his career as a fantastic journey.
He has had roles in education, presenting shows for as many as 5,000 people, TV work, been involved with building products and brands and even created a new and innovative hairbrush!
We look at how the accumulation of learning and experiences throughout his career have led him to his new role, introducing a new way of working for the hair & beauty industry in the UK.
John's continual efforts to maintain relevance in this dynamic industry and to keep his career interesting and exciting has led him to many different avenues and job roles, which has in turn given him a wide range of experience and expertise to bring to this new role.
Phenix salon suites has over 350 locations in the US, and so far there are now premises in Manchester and Birmingham, with more to come.
With over 65% of the hairdressing industry now self-employed, the new model of Salon suites enable any budding entrepreneur to open their own business with as little as just £250 deposit.
We also discuss why as a professional it is important to charge properly, and why more stylists are turning to niche, smaller brands.
