In this episode, we sit down with Clive Allwright, a visionary in the hairdressing industry whose career has taken him across the globe - from the bustling streets of London, to the dynamic energy of Hong Kong, and the creative pulse of Los Angeles. His journey has been one of artistry, innovation, and relentless ambition.
But behind the success was a battle with addiction - alcohol and cocaine - a struggle that threatened to unravel everything he had built. Clive opens up about the highs and lows of his career, the moments of reckoning, and the path he took to reclaim his life. His story is one of resilience, transformation, and the power of self-reinvention.
Clive’s journey was shaped not only by his professional ambitions but also by profound personal loss. Experiencing grief early in life, he navigated the emotional weight of loss while forging ahead in his career. His story is a testament to the strength it takes to overcome adversity and find purpose beyond pain.
Today, Clive is the Founder and Co-Owner of Our Place Salon in Sydney, where he continues to shape the future of the industry. His journey serves as a beacon of hope for anyone navigating addiction while striving for professional excellence.
Join us as we explore Clive’s raw and honest reflections on grief, addiction, recovery, and the lessons learned along the way.
