HOB salons CEO Natasha Grossman, supported by Wella Professionals, brought together some of the industry’s most powerful women to launch a new collective for empowerment and change.
The group marked International Women’s Day at an exclusive breakfast event that brought together 20 of hairdressing’s most influential female leaders with the aim to start a new movement in the industry.
Held at the beautiful Greenhouses at One Marylebone, London, the morning gathered CEOs, salon owners, industry support teams and visionary leaders to raise the profile of women in hairdressing and start a new era of leadership in the industry.
Welcoming the group, Natasha spoke candidly of the challenges and frustrations facing women in the industry today and the importance of collective strength and responsibility. “It’s important women in business come together where we can not only be real and authentic about how hard things are at the moment, but listen to ideas and what we are doing as true leaders to try to overcome the challenges that we all face."
“There are people in this collective who have changed the way I work as a leader, and you have all impacted me in some way. I hope you all leave here today feeling more empowered and more equipped, knowing that sometimes we have to make the boldest, hardest decisions, but those decisions can become the best ones of our life.
“As we navigate through these challenging times, I hope we can also celebrate each other and champion what we are doing.”
The morning offered a safe space for honest, open conversations, spanning day-to-day pressures of leading teams, managing industry pressures and ambitious goals to reshape perceptions of women’s leadership in hairdressing and the business community.
