250 Exploring Creativity with Eugene Souleiman
Manage episode 425516068 series 3564094
There are only a very small number of hairdressers who at any one time influence hairdressing all over the world.
I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to interview some of them on the podcast, and I always relish the chance to find out what it is that separates their ability from others.
My guest on today’s Podcast is returning guest Eugene Souleiman, who is without doubt one of the very top session hairdressers in the world.
Eugene is that rare breed of hairstylist who really is an artist. His work inspires other editorial stylists and salon hairdressers alike the world over, and along with 2 or 3 other people he is at the top of the pile.
In today’s episode, we discuss:
● The creative process
● The importance of mentors
And lots more!
