At a young age, Nelly discovered her love for hair. She loved the way it felt in her hands and how it changed people's appearances. This led her to pursue a career in barbering, and she has never looked back since. Nelly will share her story of becoming a female barber and overcoming the challenges that came with it.
She offers advice to other young women who are thinking about pursuing a career in barbering and reveals crucial parts of being a successful barber throughout the episode, such as marketing yourself to ensure that you will genuinely be a cut above the rest.
Highlights:
01:04 I've been dealing with hair since I was 17 years old and I'm 39.
1:16 I was always working a full-time job and I just didn't really know what I wanted to do, as far as career wise, and I would always kind of cut hair on the side.
03:46 Patience is huge because, especially when I look at myself coming from the very beginning, I mean years ago, people were even uncomfortable with letting a woman cut their hair at that point.
05:00 I experienced convincing people, even though I was a woman, that I was able to cut their hair because I think that was a huge thing at that time.
09:18 I would have pursued my career sooner than when I did and I feel like it was always a fear that I had. I think a lot of barbers have that fear.
