Interesting fact: it wasn't always my dream to be a hairdresser, nor was it something with which I had a natural affinity when I started my training. Throughout my childhood, adults would coo at my lovely, dark, thick hair but the way it was cut overpowered my face and was prone to frizz. I wanted controlled, sleek locks like the other girls! The availability of products at the time for wavy and curly hair was almost zero and without knowing what I could do with the potential, I went pixie cut short at the age of 13 and subsequently missed an entire era of late 90s/early 2000s long hair styling - for better or worse!
