Season 2 Episode 1 - Caroline Hirons on respect for the beauty industry, social media and building a brand

Updated on 30th Jun 2025

Season two of The Pro Beauty Pod is here! In episode one, we speak to Caroline Hirons, skin specialist and chief executive of Skin Rocks Pro.

The episodes in this season were recorded live on our podcast stage at the Professional Beauty London show and we had such fun doing it.

In this episode, sponsored by Vagaro, we discuss Hirons' journey into the beauty industry and how that evolved through skincare and brand consultancy into authoring best-selling skincare books and launching a brand.

She's a skin expert, an author, a content creator, she's got her own skincare brand but at the heart of it all she's a trained skin therapist and she always uses her platform to really champion the professional.

Hirons also talks about how to make a name for yourself online, including how to cut through the noise on social media to position yourself as a skin expert.

We also talk about the launch of Skin Rocks Pro, with professional treatments now developed and set to hit salons later this year.

This episode is sponsored by Vagaro Software. Vagaro’s all-in-one platform helps you manage your calendar, payment processing, marketing, and more for your business, all in one place and you can try it for 30 days for free here.

As this episode was recorded live, there is some strong language so be aware of that if you have any younger beauty fans listening with you. 

We are so excited to bring you season two of this podcast available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and anywhere else you get your podcasts - please like, rate and subscribe and follow us on Instagram and TikTok at @professionalbeauty.uk and, of course, you find us on Facebook and LinkedIn too.

We'll be bringing you more episodes over the next few months and have some more amazing guests coming up.

Don't miss our interview with celebrity nail artist Shea Osei, who will be talking all things nail art, film and TV, and inclusivity.

We'll also be talking to business mogul Karen Betts about growing a brand, achieving perfect brows, and careers in beauty.

In the meantime, you can check out all of our previous episodes on our Pro Beauty Pod page.
