In this episode, Michael Van Clarke and Nicky Clarke revisit the turbulent mid-1980s. A time of creative breakthroughs, tense negotiations, and bold decisions.They discuss the rise of salon product innovation, from the accidental birth of “green lotion” to reworking American waxes for European hair, and the beginnings of the silicon revolution in haircare. Alongside stories of contracts and turning down impossible deals, Michael shares the story of walking away from stagnation, finding an unloved Marylebone backstreet building, and through some complicated property manoeuvres securing the whole thing as his own.With stories of odd tenants, financial juggling, and the unexpected help of his foreman father, this is an honest look at the reality of leaving the safety of a thriving career to create something new, without quite knowing what you’re walking into.Follow Michael Van Clarke: @mvanclarkeFollow Nicky Clarke: @nickyclarkeukCredits: Producers: Michael Van Clarke, Louise Ortelli, Louise Oakley & Ben Lifton Editor: Ben Lifton from Big Little Content Production Coordinator: TYX Studios Sound Engineer: TYX Studios
