Is the hairdressing industry dying a slow death? Gen X hairstylist and veteran salon owner, Jules Peacocke thinks so. In this 8-part series she shares tales of hairdressing gloom and doom, theft and deception, apathy and entitlement with a healthy dose of government bashing. What is going to save the industry from imploding and the rest of us from perpetual bad hair days? Subscribe, listen and have your say.
Jules Peacocke commenced her hairdressing apprenticeship in New Zealand in 1989 under the tutelage of incredibly talented and amazing stylists. They were brutally honest, hard AF, brilliant and completely committed to growing the next generation of talented hairdressers. Armed with great skills, Jules left NZ for a big city experience in London. After several years she came to Australia in search of high end hairdressing experiences and found none. So, she built her own 26 years ago. Today, Jules is still passionate about her salon brand Lily Jackson Hairdressing but now has something to say about the industry to anyone that will listen.
Jules is joined by Sandy Chong in this episode.
Sandy Chong is a key influence in the Hairdressing Industry. Currently she is the CEO/Director of the Australian Hairdressing Council. She speaks on behalf of the industry to Government and media, creating relationships to support an industry that is often overlooked. Her role at the AHC has established better business practices, training and education and building sustainable careers for the future of the industry.
Sandy’s vision is to create an industry that has the highest possible standards in ethics, technical ability and workplace.
I'll be back to you all soon. That's it from me. In season one of hairdressing, feel free to get in touch.

Apprentice hairdressers…where are they?
Jules is joined by Danielle Tedesco, the Head of Hairdressing Education at the popular Meadowbank TAFE. The government has created an anxiety-inducing, assessment-heavy training package that exhausts students in a way that sets them up to fail. It seems the solutions are within our capacity to influence heavily, so why is the industry not making more noise?
