Ky Wilson shares positivity simply by entering the room! A bundle of energy and a beaming smile herald the arrival of a guest who has plenty to share. Ky is here to update us on all the new things he has going on – and there is a lot. Importantly, he’s following up an earlier podcast we recorded with Frank Brorman – the creator of the Calligraphy Cut Pen [see episode 124].
Ky is an early adopter of this revolutionary cutting tool and seriously evangelical about how free-ing it is. Listen to him tell interviewer Nicky Pope about the difference it has made to his work practices. You’ll also hear about Ky’s launch of a home salon – District Salon. Eco-friendly, leaning into a fabulous work-life balance, and independent. Tune in to hear all of this and more…
All about Ky
He’s been in the industry more than 20 years and turned his hand to so many aspects of hairdressing. Ky’s resume goes from salon stylist to freelancer, running a co-work space, to representing brands on the International hairdressing circuit. His role at Calligraphy Cut includes education, hoping to influence more hairdressers to see how working with this innovative hair tool gives fabulous results and can help you grow your business.
Whilst travelling extensively – including session styling and education – with his hairdresser partner Lauren, Ky runs a salon at home. It is built on sustainable principles – and allows them both to acquire a better work/life balance including time with young children. To hear all about it, listen to this podcast – it’s like chatting with a friend. You’ll find it friendly, entertaining and inspiring.
