About DYE JOB — For colourists and the colour-curious
DYE JOB is the hair colour podcast exploring the art, science and culture of professional hair colour.
Through conversations with leading colourists, hairdressers, artists, scientists and industry experts, we explore the craft and chemistry of colour, creative technique, hair science, education, innovation and the ideas shaping the future of the industry.
From the history of hair colour to what’s happening now — and what comes next — DYE JOB brings together expertise, experience and curiosity.
The podcast has been created by Sophie MacCorquodale. Sophie has over 30 years experience as a hair colourist. Her editorial work has been featured in Vogue, Dazed and W Magazine, and colour work can be seen on the runway for Chloe, Gucci and Tom Ford.

She shares the creativity and complexity behind her work, the realities of building a business and why she no longer wants to go with the flow — she wants to be the flow. Warm, honest and very funny, this is a conversation about colour, hard work and creating a career on your own terms.
