Denise Phillips: How a working class girl has built a haircare empire while enduring eleven rounds of IVF & coping with hair loss
Our guest on What A Woman Podcast today is the Award Winning Hair Stylist and Entrepreneur, Denise Phillips. She is co-founder of Voduz, a hugely successful haircare brand and owns the hairdressing franchise, Pelo Hairdressing which is unique because it was one of first salons, in Ireland, to offer scalp camera consultations and treatments for hair loss after Denise suffered her own hair loss during fertility treatment.
We talk about:
- Denise's own experience of hair loss being the worst time of her career and her mission to educate the industry & her peers on this issue
- The devastating impact hair loss can have and the many treatments/ solutions Denise's salons can offer
- How Denise underwent eleven rounds of IVF and the toll it took on her life
- Discovering she was pregnant at twenty-six weeks with her miracle second child
- Where her determined spirit and work ethic comes from and how she juggles family life and two businesses
- Why being true to your authentic self will always result in success
Denise is currently a finalist in the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Awards in the Emerging Business category. She has also been a real champion of the IVF community sharing her story and even appearing on 'Babymakers', a television documentary which followed several couples on their IVF journeys.
