Interview with Fede Damiani
Fede Damiani is a 25-year-old, Italian Bleach & vivids specialist.
He/they have been in the industry for 10 years and moved to UK in 2019 intending to work at Not AnotherSalon. After they achieved it and stayed there for two years, Fede decided to go freelance and open up to new clients and the education business.
During the last few years, Fede also became an official Pulpriot artist and Pulpriot UK educator, blonde solutions artist, B3 sponsored, and was featured in magazines like Creative Head and Hairdresser Journal.
In January 2024, Fede opened a small new studio, becoming a salon owner. Their biggest dream is to incorporate a philosophy of "Freedom of Expression" in the global hair industry. Help other businesses to become more inclusive, not only with Gender neutral price lists and working easily with any type of hair ... but also with more accessibility for disabilities (hidden ones and not).
Mental health, breaking stigmas and stereotypes are their favorite parts of being an Educator, creating “FHAIRY EDUCATION”. In 2023, Fede also won the " L'Oréal Colour Trophy- Moving Image Award" competition, becoming the first freelance stylist to win that category.
Fede also loves the business and social media side of this industry, and since September has been able to reach a total of 1.3M accounts through their social media accounts with vivid and pastel colors and, probably, that incredible Italian/UK accent.

Interview with Autumn Yarbrough
Autumn Yarbrough didn’t want to go bald like the three generations of women before Her. So, she created a NU Standard to ensure no woman ever does.
NU Standard is a revolutionary company with a hair wellness approach toward textured hair. The products aren’t just for black women because it’s a black-owned company, NU Standard’s products are designed to help all women with textured hair. It’s about setting a NU Standard in the haircare industry and helping women overcome their hair challenges and achieve their hair goals
But it’s not just about hair wellness. Autumn caters to busy women on the go whether they work from home, corporate America or spend the day as CEO of their families. Bottom line: She understands some women have a few minutes not hours to get their hair just right, so they feel confident while avoiding what seems inevitable: hair damage and hair loss. Autumn wanted to create products that made it easy to care for textured hair without damaging or losing it. She was determined to develop a solution for her Busy Queens, especially those with textured hair, to prevent hair loss.
Autumn’s blessing is that the haircare industry has been part of her life since birth. After all, her grandfather, Comer Cottrell Jr., created a haircare company in the late 60s that became a global company. Her mom created successful brands that still thrive and her father has helped restructure several haircare companies and some have grown into overnight successes. Autumn grew up in the business. She worked on the assembly line as an eight-year-old and dabbled in various departments until she went to college.
After graduating from USC, Autumn found success in the world of finance and insurance. But the stress from running her company was starting to affect her hair. The more she thought about it, the more Autumn knew she needed to follow her passion and help those women with textured hair keep it healthy and strong. She initially struggled with changing her career midlife but she wanted to do something that would really affect people’s lives.
To build her company, Autumn emphasized one of her grandfather’s tenets of business:
Build a team of people who are smarter than you to make the dream come true. She set her ego aside and asked the best in the industry for help to build a NU Standard.

For 13 years, Paul and Tussanee ran Integrity Lash, a premier 7-digit lash salon in Southern California. Over the years, Integrity Lash was recognized by Vanity Fair, Los Angeles Magazine, Pasadena Magazine, Brides.com as well as by others as one of the best of SoCal.
For the last seven years, Paul and Tussanee host the most listened-to lash podcast in the world called LashCast (with over 2 million downloads), as well as host trainings and webinars tailored for lash artists. The twosome aims to educate and uplift lash professionals to become better lash artists and business owners.
Paul and Tussanee founded The LASHCONference in 2019, and over the last five years, over 3500 lash artists have attended the event to learn how to grow and market their businesses.
Aside from their trainings and events, they also coach lash artists in their coaching program called LashCast Clubhouse. In their unique coaching platform, they teach lash artists how to build a lash business that they can be proud of.
When they aren’t running their own events or training, they also speak at trade shows as well as lash conferences all over the world. One day, the two hope to retire in a log cabin in Hawaii and raise penguins.
