Positive Image Podcast

Positive Image was born from a natural synergy between two dynamic individuals, Nicole Manzer and Alicia Lumsden. Their connection stemmed from shared values and business philosophies—fostering a culture of positivity within their teams and salons, and an unwavering commitment to environmental and social responsibility.

Their journey began when they harnessed their entrepreneurial spirits to create vibrant communities on platforms like Clubhouse and Facebook, bringing together hairstylists and salon owners from around the world. With a collective experience of 21 years in salon ownership and nearly four decades of hairdressing expertise, Nicole and Alicia are a formidable duo.

What sets them apart is not just their artistry but also their analytical minds. They have a deep-rooted passion for numbers and metrics, which has allowed them to cultivate salons that thrive in sustainable environments. From the inception of their careers, they've been nurturing and mentoring budding hairstylists, an endeavor they continue by guiding their teams and fellow professionals in the industry.

Nicole and Alicia's journey is a testament to the power of positivity, mentorship, and a shared vision for an inclusive and sustainable future in the world of hairdressing and salon ownership.
