Plus, Cherie reveals why she starts her days at 3:30am, how she solves renovation problems in her sleep and the incredible story of how she came tantalisingly close to owning Elvis Presley’s Palm Springs honeymoon home.

This episode covers: 
Cherie Barber’s rules for choosing and managing tradies 
Fixed-price quotes vs hourly rates 
Why she always gets three quotes 
How to handle disagreements on a renovation site 
The work ethic behind more than 250 renovations 
The Farmhouse, Cherie’s major new Western Sydney project

Cherie Barber Reveals The Renovation Mistakes That Could Cost You Thousands (Part 1)

Richi Grisillo is the hairstylist behind names like Eva Mendes, Tyra Banks and G Flip, and a global ambassador for Moroccanoil. But when he's not backstage at Fashion Week or on tour with musicians, he's baking chocolate cake and preserves for a shot at a ribbon at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. 

In this episode of The Edit, Richi chats to Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief (and his real-life client) Elle Lovelock about closing the salon he opened at 28, building a smaller, more private studio in its place, and the surprisingly daunting experience of competing against the Country Women’s Association for the first time. 

Plus, Richi opens up on why he moved back home with his parents in his 30s, his dream of a modern farmhouse with a kitchen garden, and why he thinks you should never trust someone who doesn't serve dessert. 

This episode covers: 
Growing up half Italian and food as a love language 
His first Sydney Royal Easter Show baking debut, up against the CWA 
Opening a salon at 28 and the decision to close it a decade later 
Life after the salon: building Academy Privé 
Working with Eva Mendes, Tyra Banks, G Flip and on tour with rising stars 
Teaching the next generation of stylists 
Why he calls social media "a necessary evil" 
AI, soul, and why imperfection is the point 
His dream home: a modern farmhouse with a kitchen garden 
Moving back in with his parents in his 30s 
What makes a home beautiful
