Inspiration to be a part of the hair industry
My brothers wanted to be hairdressers, and therefore, liked to experiment by cutting their own hair and each others, as well. I was surrounded by joy and enthusiasm for hairdressing, and so, it was natural for me to work towards being a stylist. When I was 18 and still in school, I started working at a bridal salon where over the weekends we would create hairstyles for brides and their guests, and the whole process would be captured in photos and videos!
Professional education
I grew up in a very small town that did not have a hairdresser. In order to be one, I had to leave my home and family. When I was 15, I moved to the city where I studied the art of Barbering for three years. Then I extended my studies at the university for another three years. Now, I could qualify as a stylist and a teacher of hairdressing. I have had many mentors throughout my career, ranging from teachers of basic courses to stylists who are referenced worldwide. Regardless of their position, I have learnt something new from each of them.
