You've heard it all before. Young hairdressers, they're not passionate! They can't be bothered! They don't work the hours we used too! Maybe you agree with these statements, but it so happens that todays guest certainly doesn't. Joining me to discuss this contentious topic is one of our most respected British hairdressers, Sean Dawson. Today we'll be learning from Sean on why he believes we need to give young hairdressers a break! I have long admired Sean Dawson. Continually producing stunning hair work over the last 3 decades, I also love how he never shy's away from being open and honest in discussing and debating controversial topics. Most certainly young people and how they want to do things different to the generation before it never fails to deliver some heated conversations. Having worked within the hairdressing industry for over 33 years, Sean is a multi-award winning session stylist and educator. With a true passion for educating, he has nurtured and developed many young people to go on to become great hairdressers themselves. This has led him to see that young people are willing to work hard and are committed to what they do – if we get them engaged and inspired. Moaning how they can't be bothered is simply not good enough or acceptable! As Sean says: "It's our responsibility and duty to develop young people!". Having the same old approach to how we used to work for young hairdressers is outdated thinking. Instead you need to individually tap into what motivates them and then tailor a dynamic plan to fuel their ambitions. Sean has some great ideas to this, along with a new approach to apprenticeships. All of this and more in today's podcast, so be sure to listen in. Thanks for Listening To share your thoughts: Leave a note in the comment section below.
