Manage episode 445264770 series 3558635
If this era of hairdressing will be remembered for anything specific I believe it will be the rise of the self-employed.
Regardless of where in the world you’re located, the self-employed business model in its various forms has made a huge impact on the industry and is continuing to do so.
Today's guests are Ross and Jack Williams-Hirst, the co-founders of Williams & Hirst, a new co-working salon space in the heart of London’s Soho district.
In today’s podcast, we discuss:
✨The co-working salon business model and what’s driving the independent hairdressing movement.
✨ How Williams & Hirst aims to elevate the freelance salon experience by offering a luxe environment alongside comprehensive support.
✨ The importance of having rental packages that work for everyone…
And lots more!
