I started my hairdressing career at sixteen years old, but it was from an even younger age that my eye was first drawn to this profession.
I fell in love with hairdressers when I would visit the salon with my mum for her weekly blow-dry. I learned to watch from the side lines. I would see women come into the salon one way and leave another, but it wasn’t just the hair that changed it was their attitude, the way they carried themselves, the sparkle in their eye and all that was because of a hairdresser.
There was an amazing sense of community, support, sharing and fun, you could feel the energy in the salon and at the centre of it all were the Hairdressers. I've had a love for this profession from a very early age, and it still inspires me and challenges me to this day.
Fast forward decades later having worked in different salons, and having a career that I’ve enjoyed and here I am, running my own salon.
When I made the decision to launch Jayne Eyre Salon I went along with the idea of where this journey would take me, the opportunities it would provide me and the different yet parallel paths it would lead me along. All I know and believe in is what I hold true to this day. I like to be creative and imaginative in my work, and this was the incentive for me to strike out and open my own salon.
The empowering feeling of running a business is surpassed only by the emotion of making people feel welcome and in helping them to embrace their strength and beauty. For me, hairdressing is all of this and much more
