Tips for a Young Hairdresser

Tips for A Young Hairdresser

Get yourself somewhere fabulous with a great mentor!

Off the high-street or smaller salons are a GRT start to teach you ‘bread and butter’ work, a good solid blow dry can be the perfect base for anything, so somebody that can do traditional hairdressing is worth their weight in gold in any salon. It is this vital prep knowledge that you’ll see backstage at most shows or for any good photo-shoot. I always make sure I have a key member of my team with this experience and skillset and that is certainly what I have done in my careers past.

BUT, if you want to progress further and wider into the industry then really you need to be alongside somebody who does the type of work that you want to end up doing.

For me, when I met my old boss, he was doing all of that in the industry so i was just his ‘bag carrier’ and I went along to everything and absorbed everything. I loved it! The biggest piece of advice for a young hairdresser is to make sure you work with and alongside the best! Choose somebody you admire, someone you respect, someone you look up to and someone that has already achieved. Offer your services for free if need be – unfortunately sometimes this can be your way in, but you can’t put a price on that type of knowledge that you will learn and therefore build your blocks for your career.

The Kidderminster Shuttle: “Debilitating illness sees acclaimed Kidderminster hairdresser Lisa Shepherd transform her salon”

As featured in The Kidderminster Shuttle earlier this year…..

A TERRIFYING illness has prompted an award-winning hairdresser to launch a low-sensory salon in Kidderminster.

Lisa Shepherd’s hugely successful career was almost cut short when she suffered a Tonic-Clonic seizure that affected her brain and left her physically unable to work in her own salon.

But she has used her frightening experience to radically transform her Mill Street salon into a low-sensory one and raise awareness of the issues sufferers can face.

The 46-year-old mother-of-two’s ordeal happened in December 2016 when the seizure caused convulsions and the loss of consciousness. As a result, she hit her head and suffered concussion which caused lasting damage to her vestibular system that helps with balance and spatial orientation. This 50 per cent damage caused a major disconnect between the brain, eyes and limbs and on top of that, she Lisa now suffers from light sensitive epilepsy.

Does your Post-Holiday Hair Need A Rescue?

Does your post-holiday hair need a rescue?

The colour of your hair may be pretty, but the condition will be parched!

“Holiday hair can have it’s good points & I quite like what the sun does to hair on the outside but on the inside the hair needs urgent TLC.” – Lisa Shepherd {aka The Hair Doctor}

Often, the sun will kiss the hairline, so we emphasise that more with delicate face framing colour, or we wash over glosses to increase shine that are both simple & affordable (as little as £30.00).

However, excess sun will have structurally pushed the hair so treatments or aftercare will be needed.

We offer a number of in-house treatments to fix your post-holiday hair in a heart beat. Call 01562 748833 to book your appointment & get some advice!

“Rub dry shampoo into your roots before bed, as if you were shampooing it in. The next morning, hair looks energised with a tousled, textured finish.”


Lisa recommends using PRO:VOKE Touch of Silver Revitalising Dry Shampoo for this!

“Good old head scarves, wide headbands, and hair accessories in general are also super-cool for summer and always a winner in-between washes!”

Why should I do your hair?

Whilst I’m only young I feel that training directly under Lisa Shepherd and the team gives me an edge on other hairdressers my age. Whilst I love to colour and cut my passion is also for hair enhancements. I’m fully trained in extensions which gives me an added extra to offer to all my clients to achieve amazing hair.
