ScissorBoy with Daniel Galvin

Daniel Galvin is often referred to as the “King of Color” because he has been involved in every major innovation in hair coloring techniques and their application.

Daniel himself has built a reputation as one of the world’s leading authorities on hair colour. His work has a great influence on the industry as a whole, and he is in great demand for his expertise.

Daniel Galvin will be featured on ScissorBoy TV to bring two action packed and knowledge filled episodes to hairdressers everywhere. Daniel’s fans can catch him in action as the first episode airs on August 8, 2011 on ScissorBoy.com

Here are some amazing pieces of advice and thoughts which reflects how the King of Colour approaches his business and personal life.

Hair is the ultimate accessory that is never taken off so it’s essential it always looks at its best. Colour is about making what nature gave us better.

Colourists were seen as the underdog and I always wanted us to be recognised as much for the work we did as cutters.

My passion has always been to raise the level of respect for colourists from clients and colleagues.

I wanted to push the boundaries whenever I could and get my name and colour as much publicity as possible.

I have a fantastic team at my London salon and it’s important I offer them as many opportunities as I can so they can grow and develop as they are the future of the business.

I was the first hairdresser to receive an OBE in 2006 for services to hairdressing. It was a privilege to receive this honour and going to the palace was one of the most emotional days of my life.

You are as old as you feel – age isn’t important apart from when you are born and when you die. Age is irrelevant – you can do anything you set your mind to.

Tens of thousands of hairdressers from the four corners of the globe attended the world’s most inspirational hairdressing exhibition at EXCEL, London during October 16-18, 2010. Salon International was the perfect platform for all those who were looking for inspiration, motivation, education or the latest product launches.

Salon International 2010 had over 220 exhibitors as the exhibition showcased the best of British hairdressing, product innovation and manufacturing. Many of the UK’s greatest hairdressers appeared, including HJ’s current British Hairdresser of the Year, Akin Konizi, Patrick Cameron, Adam Reed, Simon Shaw, Ken Picton, Andrew Barton and more.

Various companies were on hand to show salons how to develop their beauty business and introduce new services. This was interesting for salons that provide both hairdressing and beauty services.

We see lots of salons adopting technology these days. Salon International 2010 had computer software companies Salon Genius, Shortcuts, Millennium, Salon Tech and Salon Biz Central showing salons how they can utilise software to ensure their business is more efficient.

HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards Gallery, sponsored by Schwarzkopf Professional, was bigger and better than ever with a fabulous stand-alone gallery which showcased four images from each of the nine regional and six specialist categories along with all eight images from each of the British Hairdresser of the Year nominees.

Salon International 2010 had something for everyone as it provided increased facilities, more live stages than ever, the latest in product innovations and the opportunity to purchase everything from a hair pin to a salon refit.

It’s hard to believe Salon International is over for another year! It will be returning to ExCeL London on the 15th, 16th and 17th October 2011 for three days of inspirational live shows, seminars and demonstrations!
