Jules Tognini

01/11/24 • 73 min

My guest this week is someone really special to me. I've known him since he was a little kid, traveling around to hair shows with his dad. Since then he has won Australian Hairdresser of the Year three times, and Educator of the Year four times in a row. He is a globally recognized educator, and a great guy. Today I'm catching up with Jules Tognini!

• Jules grew up around many enormously successful artists in the hair industry, thinking of them as aunties and uncles. It wasn't until years later he would realize how cool they were.

• Naturally hairdressing was the last career he wanted. He pursued an interest in fashion and traveled the world for many years.

• Restless again, he asked his dad for a job at the salon, and soon discovered his passion

• Benni Tognini is a mentor to Jules, and Jules is the first to admit he idolizes him

• "Nothing gets handed to you unless you apply."

Tom Kuhn

Our podcast guest this week is a former CPA and has owned multiple salons internationally. He is recognized as a trusted financial expert and leader in the beauty and wellness business. He is a board member for Beauty Changes Lives, and is the founder of Qnity for Salons, Qnity for Schools, and Qnity Institute. He is known for his talent for simplifying finance and money matters, making them visual and approachable for creative professionals. His latest study with the Qnity Institute is very revealing, and we're going to get into it right now with Tom Kuhn.

While Tom was a CPA, he gravitated towards working with the creative industries, such as art dealers and art agencies. Later he became a CFO in a distribution company and discovered a love for educating his clients in finance.

• Tom was frustrated with the lack of financial data in the beauty industry, especially with earnings, so he founded the Qnity Institute to get to the bottom of it.

• That flagship study revealed that 24% of the respondents would have made over $100,000 if they had worked 40 hours a week, and that the average income was $38/hr

Min Kim

She is the resident master colorist at the Butterfly Studio salon in New York and she is a L'Oréal Professionnel International Artist. Thousands of hairdressers around the world have used her training videos. She is a corrective color expert and she is my next guest on Headcases: meet Min Kim.

• She thought she was destined to be a doctor, but she was always drawn to the beauty industry.

• In her earliest days as an educator for L'Oréal Professionnel, she realized you have to be true to your authentic self, and not try to wear a version of yourself based on someone else.

• Min wants us to learn from our mistakes - they always have something to teach. Some people get stuck and never get past them.

• Her best advice for stylists just starting out: listen, be present, pay attention. And don't be afraid of failure.
