Hair Biz Year 15 Issue 3
I grew up in South West Sydney, in a large multicultural family and was surrounded by hard-working entrepreneurs and creatives; they instilled my work ethic from a very young age. I left school at 14, starting my career in hair Toni&Guy My grandmother and stepmother were hairdressers and when visiting my father on weekends, I’d spend a lot of time in the salon.
WHAT ACHIEVEMENT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF IN YOUR LIFE OR CAREER?
