I was honored to talk to Antony Whitaker on his podcast episode 213: Life Lessons from a Career in Hairdressing!

Outstanding interview! Loved hearing his experiences! What an intelligent, kind, strong, ambitious, persuasive, playful, inspirational man. I loved the stories from the book. So sorry to hear about the gun incident. You definitely are an adorable adonis. Shared this with all the hairstylists I could think of on my friend’s list. Big hugs!!

Part One

Part Two

Alex exemplifies both extraordinary personal talents in his craft as well as a keen understanding of business principals. The culture he has built in his salon is a reflection of Alex’s caring, giving, talented and most of all like-mindedness. I have been fortunate to have worked with Alex as well as having him as a guest artist at my salon retreat in Kansas City. He is consummate professional who has been giving back to our industry for many years. Few individuals display the commitment to excellence and quality coupled with pure drive and passion. He is one in a million. It is an honor to know him.
