Healing the Hair Industry with Maria Evangelou
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">In this episode, Maria Evangelou shares her journey through the hair industry—from high-end salons to opening and running her own salon and going on to create a holistic business that helps other salon owners. She explains how a recession, combined with health challenges, left her overwhelmed and led to burnout—prompting her to rethink what “success” looks like behind the chair.</p> <p>Maria unpacks the holistic approach she’s built to help hairdressers sustain long careers, bringing emotional wellbeing, financial reality, and day-to-day operations together rather than treating them as separate problems. She also talks about how writing for trade journals strengthened her confidence and helped validate her message, and how that work has grown into workshops, retreats, and collaborations with salons and brands.</p> <p>She closes by reflecting on how the pandemic proved the importance of wellbeing-led business, and why nutrition and self-care matter even more for hairdressers working long, irregular hours.</p> <p>Produced and published by <a href="https://howtocutit.com">How To Cut It Media</a></p> <hr> <p><strong>Spotd</strong> is the soon to launch professional opportunity platform built for the hair industry.

After running a busy Birmingham high-street salon, she faced illness, grief, debt, and burnout behind the scenes. That turning point led her to rebuild with balance, transform her business, and ultimately sell the salon. Today, Maria brings real industry experience and practical, soulful tools through one-to-one coaching, workshops, and retreats—helping professionals lead with clarity and confidence, without sacrificing their health or happiness.</p> <p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mariaevangelou__/">@mariaevangelou</a></p> <p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><a href="https://www.mariaevangelou.co.uk/">mariaevangelou.co.uk</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
