Split Ends
with Andrew Barton and Olga ThompsonEmbracing the power of storytelling with conversation, laughter and tears from the safety of the salon chair, celebrity hairdresser Andrew Barton has joined forces with comedienne Olga Thompson (aka the Big Fat Greek Mother), for their cutting-edge podcast, Split Ends.
With their shared hairdressing heritage and shared story of being survivors of bullying and ambassadors for Kidscape, Andrew and Olga were united by their own hair stories and quickly became firm friends. Through Split Ends, the pair have created a platform that combines humour and mental health awareness with hairdressing.
Each episode of the podcast focuses on a different celebrity, with the interview unravelling their lives through the prism of hair – think bad hair days, killer cuts and surprisingly sentimental conversations on the guest’s ‘hairitage’… all whilst giving them a brand-new do in the salon!
Whilst Barnsley- born Andrew admits he’s by no means the next Graham Norton, he hopes to not only chop off his guests’ split ends, but bring out their ‘split life’ stories too!
“Behind my chair, I hear it all!” Andrew explains. “I often know more about my clients than their actual therapist, or even their best friend; menopause, work strife, divorce, stress, depression… everything! It’s great to see clients leaving feeling heard.”
Olga Thompson is grateful for her childhood memories of her mother’s salon, El Greco. It was a joyful environment that helped ‘bring her back to life’ following a breakdown.
In the podcast, she will introduce some of the larger-than-life characters she met growing up in the salon, adding some hilarious cameos to the celebrity conversations.
“As a little girl, I observed men and women from all walks of life come in and bare their precious souls to my mother in that hairdressing chair,”
Olga says. “I saw her love, counsel, feed and, of course, style the hair of so many wonderful clients. It was a real mix of care and clutter, a space full of clients popping in for a new do and making themselves at home amidst all the perms, George Michael posters and parrots!”
