I started my journey as an apprentice hairdresser 3 years ago in Kerry ETB doing the diploma hairdressing course. It has been a passion of mine since I was knee-high and I love it! I am currently completing my apprenticeship at Cathrionas Hair Salon where I have grown and appreciate all the aspects of hairdressing. I really love working with my colleagues and learning something new every day.
I have completed my colour training and awaiting my master’s degree course but the highlight of my career so far has to be working on fashion shows and photo shoots.  Session styling would be my favourite part of hairdressing. There’s nothing nicer to see my client leave happy after I have styled for them and every day I appreciate where I am in my career.
