On this week’s episode, we sit down with Nikki Zana, founder of Halo Aesthetics, for a really open and informative conversation about the realities of the UK aesthetics industry.

With over 15 years of experience, Nikki has built and scaled a thriving clinic in Milton Keynes and now leads a team of seven, all while maintaining her reputation as a regulated professional who truly sees aesthetics as an art form — not a trend.

We dive into:

• What real regulation in aesthetics should look like

• Where the UK government needs to step in

• How clients can confidently choose the right aesthetic provider

• The importance of product safety, sourcing, and supply chains

• And how clinic owners can pivot, diversify, and create additional income streams within a competitive industry

This episode is packed with insight for practitioners, business owners, and clients alike and highlights why education, regulation, and integrity matter more than ever in aesthetics.

Huge thank you to Nikki for sharing her knowledge so openly in such a busy and fast-moving industry.

We’re thrilled to welcome Bhangra Blends to the Streamline podcast.

In this episode, we sit down with two ambitious founders aged just 23, who turned a bold idea into a fast-growing drinks brand — without any prior experience in the drinks industry.

Spotting a clear gap in the market, they wanted to celebrate Asian culture while creating something genuinely different: a drink that’s full of flavour, makes a statement, and isn’t loaded with sugar. What started as an idea quickly became a brand that’s turning heads in a booming industry.

We talk candidly about:

• The highs and lows of launching a business at a young age

• What it’s really like breaking into the competitive drinks market

• How they secured their first investment within year one

• The lessons they’ve learned along the way and what they’d do differently

An honest, inspiring conversation with two founders proving that age isn’t a barrier when vision, culture, and execution align.
