EP079: Ben Brown (Bbeducation) – How Ben Created a Niche as an Independent Hair Educator

Ben Brown is a successful independent hair educator. In just one year Ben has gone from being a salon owner to becoming a full-time and in-demand hair educator, with him delivering his Bbeducation to salons around the UK and overseas. Today he’ll explain how he got started as an educator and the many exciting opportunities that is now coming his way.

I hear many people say to me that they want to be a hair educator, but how many really understands what it takes? Do they understand the commitment and dedication that is required? How will they cope with the weeks or even months when there are no bookings? What special technical qualities do they have to be in the privileged position to educate others in the art and craft of hairdressing? These are many of the attributes Ben has, and if you want to do similar, you’ll need to be honest in your assessment of whether you have them, too!

As Ben says: “Above all else I love learning, and I believe educators should be students that teach, we learn to share, we grow to make others grow”. If you feel you have what it takes to be a hair educator, or even if you want to take a peek behind the scenes of an educators life, this episode is for you!
