HJ’s Business Director of the Year Michael Van Clarke, Launches New Podcast

Published 08th Aug 2025 by Chlo Weldon

HJ’s Business Director of the Year at the British Hairdressing Business Awards 2025, Michael Van Clarke, has launched a brand-new podcast called Heads Together.

The first series features conversations with celebrity stylist and Michael’s brother, Nicky Clarke, along with Principal Stylist from Michael’s salon, Mitchell Scott.

Topics include the brothers looking back on the early years that led them into entrepreneurship, sibling rivalry, and creative differences. Other topics include the philosophy behind mastering hairdressing, the value of great assistants, and TikTok – with a lot more to come!

Michael says: “When you’ve spent a combined hundred years in any industry, you’ll have lived through upheavals and dramas, highs and lows. Add in celebrities, Royals and the quirky creatives of the hair and fashion world and there’ll be stories to tell.

“This summer, Nicky and I rolled up at the podcast studio, mobile cocktail cabinet in hand, to talk about a life wrist-deep in hair and a craft we both love.”

Fancy a listen? 14 episodes will be dropping weekly each Monday across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Deezer, Amazon Music, Play FM, and Podcast Addict. You can listen to the podcast, here.
