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
