EP152 – Debbie Gee shares her joy of training with Nicky Pope

Respect for Hair — Thu, 04 Dec 2025 09:16:30 +0000

Watching London hairdresser Debbie Gee collect a Gold Medal Award from The Fellowship for British Hairdressing a few days ago, we weren’t surprised. Having recorded this episode only three weeks previously, the Respectfully producers and host Nicky Pope, had heard just how distinguished Debbie’s career is proving. To see her honoured by her peers in the industry confirms how hard she works in hairdressing to train, educate and share. During this podcast, you’ll enjoy getting to know someone who is certainly a force for good in our industry.

Debbie Gee: Ambassador for Schwarzkopf Professional

All about Debbie Gee

Bouncing from 20 years as Creative Director at Vidal Sassoon London Schools into a career as an independent educator, Debbie is as grounded and open-minded as anyone needs to be in modern times. Together with husband and business partner Billi Currie, Debbie runs a boutique hair salon in London’s Marylebone area. But still teaches where possible. An Ambassador for Schwarzkopf Professional UK, and a stalwart of the Fellowship, Debbie is constantly teaching courses and seminars. Precision cutting is her forte, she tells us. Clarity, compassion and vision seems to be her signature style.

Shaping futures

On a recently trip the Philippines, Debbie joined the Shaping Futures programme for two weeks, on behalf of Schwarzkopf Professional. Her work supporting the training of socially disadvantaged young adults to become hairdressers was emotional and empowering. Listen to Debbie recount the experience – it’s uplifting and motivating for sure!

Respect for Hair — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 10:27:49 +0000

Nick Irwin first joined us in September 2021 for a one-on-one chat. With his increasingly high profile as global brand ambassador at Schwarzkopf, and hair editor at Hunger Magazine, we thought it high time to invite him back. Recently the featured guest in Tribu-te Magazine’s Autumn edition (read HERE), there is a lot to this hairdresser and session stylist Nick. From Cumbria to London and beyond, his story is super interesting.

Nick Irwin at the Respectfully podcast studio

Fascinated from a young age by subculture and the expression of individuality through hair and clothes, Nick is very forward thinking. In this podcast with host Nicky Pope, he shares his take on where we are in hairdressing now, and his vision for the future. It’s compelling listening.

EP148 – Davide Spinelli shares his launch of online DS Hair Education

Respect for Hair — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 09:53:51 +0000

Hairdresser, brand ambassador and educator, Davide Spinelli joined Nicky Pope in the Respectfully studio for this episode. The discussion took place just prior to the exciting launch of Davide’s online DS Hair Education. The conversation focused on the innovative way Davide is pitching the education he offers. His use of pre-recorded education methods with live consultation specific to your personal needs, is really inspiring.

DS Hair Education

Now freshly launched for anyone to access, the premise of www.DSHairEducation.com is not to insist on a complete seminar session in order to learn or revise your technique. Instead, while there are currently 38 Step-by-Step classed now online, there are also 100+ video tutorial sharing the detail of small repeatable steps to build confidence instead of confusion. For one-to-one advice, Davide has options for posing questions in advance of a scheduled call with him personally, to discuss your specific struggles or needs.

DS Hair Education is now live

Also in the episode above, Nicky learns from Davide how the website can be used by independents, team leaders and other educators. There is a menu of plans to choose from with personal one-to-one advice on an as-needs basis from only £30/conversation.

Listen to the podcast and if you like what you hear, then do visit the site and contact Davide. His history with the likes of HOB Salons and Trevor Sorbie make him a truly talented educator.
