EP346: Guy Kleinhaus – Introducing with Dom Lehane

How To Cut It in the Hairdressing Industry

Welcome to the first episode of our new series, Introducing with Dom Lehane, where I spotlight the industry’s hottest new names, rising stars, and undiscovered hair artists. This week, we’re excited to introduce Guy Kleinhaus, a big name in the making.

In this episode I have the pleasure of exploring Guy’s journey from Cape Town to London’s vibrant hair scene. As the artistic director at Cobella Salon and an educator with Hair In Motion, Guy’s story is a testament to stepping out of your comfort zone for career growth.

We first learn how Guy first felt the urge to move to London after being inspired by the city’s rich hairdressing history. Leaving a strong foundation in Cape Town, he embraced the chance to learn from industry leaders in London. Upon arrival, Guy hit the ground running, forming invaluable connections with Jordanna Cobella at Cobella Salon.

We discuss the transformative impact of these relationships and how networking can reignite passion and drive creative breakthroughs. Guy shared milestone moments, from winning competitions like the Wella Destination event.

We also delved into current trends and Guy’s signature style—lived-in textures and organic looks. I highly recommend you check out his work on his Instagram under the handle @GuyDoesHair.

Tune in to hear Guy’s inspiring journey and his vision for the future of hairdressing. This episode is a must-listen for any hairdresser looking to make waves in the industry. Join us as Guy Kleinhaus shares wisdom and experiences that will ignite your passion and inspire your own journey in hairdressing.
