Why has hairdressing worked so well for me as a woman? ✂️
Because it gave me choices.
It allowed me to earn my own money, build a career, become a business owner and still have the flexibility to be a mum.
People sometimes look at hairdressing and think it’s “just doing hair,” but they don’t see everything this industry can give you.
It gives you a skill you can take anywhere in the world. It teaches confidence, communication, creativity, customer service and problem-solving. You learn how to work with people from all walks of life and how to make someone feel better about themselves.
There are so many paths you can take. You could become a stylist, colourist, educator, salon owner, extension specialist, session stylist or build your own brand.
Hairdressing gave me the opportunity to build a successful salon, create a training academy and now help the next generation discover what they are capable of.
So when a young person says they want to become a hairdresser, we shouldn’t make them feel as though they’re choosing “less.”
They could be choosing independence.
They could be choosing flexibility.
They could be choosing creativity.
They could be choosing a career they genuinely love.
That’s why I created Future Hair Artists. I want young people to see that hairdressing isn’t “just hair.”
It could be the start of their whole future. ❤️
