In this podcast today I will be sharing about the pathway a hairdressing career can give to hairdressing students. I believe it is essential that we help the next generation of hairdressers understand what is available to them, but also what they have to do to get there. By understanding this I truly believe anything is possible.

What got me interested in a career in hairdressing was when I first went to Salon International back in 1984. The buzz I felt that day made want to become a hairdresser. 34 years later I’m still fully engaged and part of this amazing industry. Thats why I’m keen to share the many variations a hairdressing career give you, as I know that not only can it help get more younger people into hairdressing, but also keep those who a possibly on the verge of falling out of love with the industry by simply becoming more engaged again.

You’ll hear about the wide variety of options available in a hairdressing that includes working in the salon as successful stylist, being a freelancer, entering competitions, working on stage, getting involved in the world of media ,and so much more.

What I’ve provided in this podcast is the sort of information I wanted to hear when I was that 16 year old student going to my local hairdressing college on day release. I really hope it inspires many of the students that listen in to this today, and I encourage all training providers, lecturers and salon owners to get their students and trainees to listen in. It could make that difference on them staying in the industry or not by carving out a lifelong and happy career within the hair industry.
