What would it mean to finally understand your hair β and know exactly what it can do? πβ¨
We sit down with Greg Hill β master stylist at the renowned Josh Wood Colour salon in London, and the man trusted with the hair of some of the most photographed women in the world. Greg has spent decades helping people discover what their hair is truly capable of, and in this episode he opens up about the craft, the psychology, and the surprisingly profound relationship between how your hair looks and how you feel about yourself.
This isn't a conversation about trends. It's a conversation about understanding your hair type, working with what you have, and why a little know-how can go further than you'd ever expect.
βοΈ Greg trained at the legendary Nicky Clarke salon, later styling hair for the likes of entrepreneur and icon Trinny Woodall for over a decade β helping to define one of the most admired hair looks in British media. An influencer of what Good Housekeeping has called the ghost wave, Greg built a loyal following through a social media channel that started as self-promotion and became something far more useful: a genuine education in hair. He visits clients at home, works from Josh Wood Colour, and has a reputation built entirely on results.
We cover:
π Why understanding your hair type is the single most important thing you can do π The ghost wave β how Greg and Trinny accidentally created one of the most imitated looks around π§ Why hairdressers are amateur psychologists and what the chair reveals about people π€ From opera singer to master stylist β and why hairdressing was always the thing πͺ The difference between a haircut that frames you and one that drags you down π± Why Greg's social media became an education channel β and what he's teaching people to do themselves π‘ Practical tips on volume, blow-drying technique, product, and protecting your hair from heat β€οΈ What it means to truly see someone β and why a great stylist does far more than cut hair
