Seema Flower Featured in Hairdresser’s Journal Trade Paper: Championing Salon Accessibility

“Seema Flower on Accessibility in Salons: A Simple Change, Big Impact”

“In my salons, we ensured that one of our juniors met a blind client from the nearest bus stop and accompanied them back after their appointment. This cost us almost nothing but made our clients feel valued and respected. It also gave our staff member a sense of pride in making a tangible difference,” says Seema Flower, Managing Director of Blind Ambition.

Featured in Hairdresser’s Journal, Seema highlights how small, thoughtful changes can not only improve accessibility but also build loyalty, enhance reputation, and tap into the £274 billion Purple Pound market.

Blind Ambition Campaign: Make Audio Description Mandatory for All TV Platforms

At Blind Ambition, we believe entertainment should be accessible to all. Yet, millions of blind and visually impaired people are excluded due to the lack of audio description (AD) on many TV platforms. Recently, Tim Dixon, a member of our WhatsApp community, raised concerns about Now TV’s failure to provide AD, sparking a powerful campaign for change.

As Seema Flower, founder of Blind Ambition, explains: “Accessibility isn’t a luxury—it’s a fundamental right. Audio description ensures blind audiences are included in the cultural experiences that unite us.”

Inspired by Tim’s advocacy and Chris McCausland’s powerful Alternative Christmas Message, we’re calling for mandatory AD on all TV and streaming platforms. Join us in demanding a world where entertainment is truly inclusive.
