HairUncut - For those Working in Professional Hairdressing
In April 2018 HairUncut was launched by Phil Collins and his then business partner, Jonathan Graham, to support and give a voice to the professional hairdressing community across the globe. During the Pandemic, the community spirit of HairUncut embraced many hairdressers who sought a space to communicate, ask advice and learn. Today it is an ever-growing community for those working in professional hairdressing – bringing together thousands of hairdressers across the world. An exciting and expanding group of ambitious and like-minded hairdressing professionals.

Introduction to Phil Collins
Phil Collins is first and foremost a hairdresser, but the area of professional hairdressing that’s always been his main focus is education.
Sharing his knowledge and experiences is his mantra.
He aims to inspire others to improve and progress, to develop their technical skills and creativity, their commercial knowledge, acumen and their retail confidence, ultimately perfecting their craft and growing their professional hairdressing businesses.
Education & Career Development
Phil started his career with a 9-month Vidal Sassoon Diploma Course and quickly discovered he’d found his vocation.
The development of both his ambitions and skills continued further during several years spent working with Toni & Guy under Anthony Mascolo’s direction. It was during this time Phil realised his passion for hairdressing education.
Of course, hairdressing education is so much more than just learning cutting and colouring skills. It’s about team building, salon management, customer service, HR, retailing, finance, communications, marketing and public relations, and of course, these days, social media.
In the naughties, Phil was invited to join Anthony Mascolo at TIGI to lead the global field education programme.
Over the next few years, he created and managed successful global programmes covering every aspect of salon education, as well as creating supporting literature.
Quotes from HairUncut Community Members
“I really want to become more creative and it’s brilliant to see everyone’s ideas and get their opinions on my work. It’s been a huge help.”
“I’ve learnt so much from being part of HairUncut. It’s inspiring, got lots of information and is just good to know other people are going through the same things as me.”
“I’m really grateful to HairUncut it has helped build my confidence enormously and has opened up a really wide circle of hairdressers across the globe.”
“The last two years have really been hard and to be honest I don’t know what I’d have done without the support of HairUncut. I have also made some amazing new friends”
The Importance of Social Media
“I have known Phil for a long time and we have worked together on and off through our various progressive careers. Recently the HairUncut Team has been driving my social media for my brands. I certainly don’t have the time or inclination to do it myself and I do not have a huge team behind me, so it makes sense to pass this job on to someone I trust and know will be effective.” Simon Ostler CEO.
“More or less from the first post put out on our behalf, the content, tone, pitch and general approach, fitted in so well with what we wanted to say and how we wanted to say it. We kept our contract running long after our new mum’s returned to their work duties back in the Company…so whether you need someone to “take-over” your social voice completely OR you want to sharpen up your audience reach and marketing tactics, Phil & his amazing team at HairUncut will change your business for the better within a month. Lee Harper.” PH Group – Keune UK Distributor
