Summary
In this episode, I’m joined by returning guest and UK hairdresser Joseph I’Anson for a real conversation on salon pricing, client expectations, and being worth what you charge — UK vs US style. We talk luxury hair tools (are they actually worth it?), pro product favorites, education, boundaries, and why respect for the craft matters. Plus, we have some fun with British Slang: Hairdresser Edition and answer real client questions to wrap it up. Insightful, funny, and full of pro tips you can actually use.
