Why do I continue to choose hairdressing as my profession?
It is as multifaceted as any art form, but based in solid principles: it is timeless. It offers the perfect combination for the control freak within me that also needs entreprenurial freedom!
Where did I take my training?
International Hairdressing School, a Pivot Point Member School, in Victoria, B.C. Pivot Point is regarded among Salon Professionals as the top industry training in North America and Europe.
Do I hold any diplomas or certifications?
Hairdresser, Cosmetology Association of British Columbia Certificate of Qualification
Cosmetologist, British Columbia ITAC Certificate of Qualification
Diploma of Humanities, University of Victoria
Combinal and RefectoCil Eyelash and Eyebrow Tinting Certificate of Qualification in compliance with Health Canada
Did I always want to be a hairdresser?
Originally, I went to art school with an interest in graphic design; I quit University to get my trade skills, and went back part-time to continue my studies. I attended both the University of Victoria and the University of Copenhagen, studying art, language, history and philosophy.
I started my career in Hairdressing professionally in 1992; my family has been in the industry since 1960. I had a pretty good grounding in dinner-table shop-talk by the time I received my first pair of scissors, so I do believe its in my blood!
What do I do in my profession now?
I work in a beautiful boutique setting, where I get to personalize my time with each client. I love that my experience has afforded me the wisdom to work the way I want to.
I am a facilitator of programs to hairdressing professionals and local groups. I have had the great opportunity to work for both Industry Distributors and Manufacturers; this is where my passion for education and sharing my knowledge has been able to shine.
I have continued to pursue educational training and refinement in my professional career, attending and exploring as much as I can. I have been lucky enough to travel for business and see the world while at it!
