Hairdresser and salon owner Gina Conway is celebrating 25 years of her London-based business. Resilient, curious, kind and positive, Gina has a very particular way of looking at the world, which informs her ability to stay alive and flourishing whatever the economic climate. She joins Respectfully host Nicky Pope to discuss ways to evolve our businesses. This is a fabulous listen as we journey through Gina’s experiences and discover how she is creating a wellness destination to include hair, beauty and mindfulness.
An American (from San Francisco) settled in Britain, Gina possesses a strong affinity with nature and a spirituality inherited from community-minded parents. She tells Nicky how her hope for each day is to leave the world a better place than you found it. The brand mission for Gina Conway salons and spa is this:
“We are hair and beauty warriors.We are protectors of the environment.We care about people and we show it.We work hard to make people look and feel great.We give love and we listen.We grow stronger and smarter every day.We are a happy tribe committed to being the best. “

In the podcast, you will also find out more about the Gina Conway Academy. This includes a new initiative to offer a type of ‘finishing’ school bridge course for newly qualified hairdresser. It’s a brilliant concept and worth listening to.
