How did you get to the hairdressing profession?
It wasn’t actually me at first, but my mum who wished to have her own hairdresser. I wanted to be a cook or acheologist. Now, when I don’t have scissors in hands, I carry a camera or a computer. IT is my hobby, this world is connected with hairstyling. Thanks to amazing applications for hairstyles, you can try new colours without any risks of damaging or being unhappy. You can see what suits you and what not. Also there is a lot of inspiration online, starting with celebrities on Instagram through pictures on Pinterest and ending with courses on Youtube.
Do you like going to a course or do you prefer to study on your own?
I did enjoy being a mentor and technologist to be honest. But everything has to have a balance, you cannot make it on your own. It‘s necessary to have others on your side and inject yourself with knowledge and new things. I like working on myself, not just in one way. I’ve passed a course of photography and now I am planning to get into graphic design and Photoshop.
What was the hardest thing so far you experienced at work?
Taking down colour which took about 12 hours. That was physically very exhausting, but I don‘t have a problem to push myself through and do anything whatsoever. Words – I can’t – aren’t in my vocabulary and it’s not my habit to give up. Funnily enough, another one of the most difficult things was supposed to be an easy job – to do something perfectly natural. It was a hairstyle for a pyjama party, where everyone was supposed to look like „ I just woke up and I went out“.
And what do you like the most about hair?
I like bits of everything. If I would focus only on cutting, I’d miss dyeing and other way around. I don’t want to stay in one place and bury myself into a stereotype. I like changes, they are always challenges, if I make it right. But I do prefer natural types, no big extremes.
