Manage episode 436477896 series 3564094
When you’ve been in this industry a long time, you not only see trends and businesses come and go, but you also see people come and go.
But, longevity as a hairdresser and remaining relevant throughout your career is not only a skill in itself, but if you can remain passionate and keep evolving with the times, the result is that you build up a range of skills that leave you with a fantastic legacy to pass on to the generations that follow.
My guest today is one such person; Ruth Roche has had many roles in the industry, and over a 40 year career, she has done all of them well and continues to inspire hairdressers at every stage of their career.
In today’s episode, we discuss:
● Using humour to break down barriers and create engagement as an educator
● The value in working across different areas in the industry
● Defining beauty and suitability
And lots more!
