In this candid episode of Heads Together, brothers Nicky Clarke and Michael Van Clarke dive into their real-life sibling rivalry and how it shaped their careers in British hairdressing.

They discuss creative differences, missed business opportunities, including a dream Grosvenor Square salon, and how loyalty, ambition, and family dynamics influenced their journeys.

From navigating salon life to handling property deals and learning tough business lessons, they reflect on the highs and lows of working alongside (and sometimes against) each other.

A must-listen for anyone interested in family, entrepreneurship, and the world of top-level hairdressing.
