Manuel Ferreres career has seen a sharp meteoric rise. In mere ve years he has gone from being a neophyte in the hairdressing sector to being nominated in one of the most prestigious professional awards. With Salon India, he shares his journey and plans for the future
The beginning
I come from a family of hairdressers. Either by rebellion or by not listening to the advice that my parents gave me, I never considered dedicating myself to hairdressing until I was 26 years old. I must say that although I did not dedicate myself to the profession, I had always been interested in fashion and personal image. I liked to see my mother cutting hair and doing up-dos. I think, my first inspiration in hairdresser’s world was her. When I was 26 years old, I started working in my mother’s salon. In the morning I worked at the salon and the afternoons I spent studying at the academy in order to get my degree.
Professional education
I have always liked to train with leading brands of our profession. London, Rome, Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and countless national and international formations have helped me to achieve the level of professionalism that I have, although I think there is still a lot to discover and improve.
Mentors
I could not say one in particular. Apart from my mother, I have many colleagues and friends who in one way or another have helped me to be who I am at this moment.
Challenges faced back then
At the beginning, and even more coming from someone who had never touched a comb, there was a lot of frustration when things did not work out. But with the help of my colleagues and with the people who trained me, I managed to bring out the best in myself.
