Melissa Stemp, good shoes good advice

Hairdressing tutor, Wellington

Melissa has been in the hairdressing industry for 27 years now and she still enjoys sharing your knowledge to the younger generation of hairdressers. We asked her a few questions as to where she gets her inspiration and what she enjoys most about her work.


Why did you want to become a hairdresser?

I love interacting with people. When I left school I wanted to be a teacher, the idea of being a part of someone's life and helping them to choose the right path for them intrigued me. I have been tutoring for 12 years now and to know that I played a little part in their career is amazing.


What’s the highlight of your career so far?

When I passed teaching qualification. I was so proud of myself that I completed this in my adult life and realising that I can still do so much more.


Who or what is your inspiration?

People who come from nothing and make a success out of their career, people how to work hard and embrace their challenges.


What’s your best advice to someone entering this industry?

Good shoes, believe in themselves
