1: Assistants and Apprentices

Feel-Good Hairdressing

Welcome to the first episode of the Feel-Good Hairdressing Podcast!
For our first episode, we're starting at the very beginning and talking about all things assistants and apprentices. For us, apprenticeships are the best route into a successful career in hairdressing but of course other routes are available!
Apprenticeships can be exciting and overwhelming, not just for the apprentice, but also the Salon Owner…
So, join us as we chat about...

• How Otto got started in the hairdressing industry in Munich and then in the UK with Vidal Sassoon and Toni and Guy
• Our salon perspective on apprenticeships and Saturday assistants
• The importance of having a mentor for assistants
• Our top advice for ace-ing apprenticeships
• How to embrace failure as an apprentice
• Communicating over generations
• Taking pride in the salon you work for
• Tips on how to learn
• Why we start with teaching our apprentices the foundational four haircuts

Don’t forget to check out the resources that we mention in the episode as well!
There’s headsheets and an A-Z on how to ace your apprenticeship, and lots of other goodies too: https://feel-goodhairdressing.co.uk/free-courses
We hope you love listening to our thoughts on assistants and find our insights useful!
