On a personal note, I was working on my website and my phone rang, Mandy was asking if I knew a lady who said she worked with me when I was a lecturer at Calderdale College, she is Sandra (Dark-Haired..not bad-looking...good at knitting)....I said put her through...Sandra and I worked, taught, demonstrated and laughed till it hurt. We both were part of Arthur Oddy's team in Halifax's College (Percival Whitley), re-named Calderdale College.
After several minuets of reminiscing over competitions, knitting and 'what are we up to now?' Sandra asked me if I would be interested in attending 'Olympic Week' at Taylor Training Ltd, to inspire, motivate and chat to the hairdressing students about the career of hairdressing and it's diversities. She said I came in to her mind and with the power of the Internet, she found me in moments !!
So.....I am thrilled to be invited, but where do I start? The word Passion comes to mind, because without this, I would not still be within the profession of hairdressing after 45 years. Once I started to make a list, the notes just flowed. I intend to chat about how to create the styles of the 1960's....70's....80's....90's....20's as I have worked throughout all those decades, and I am sure the students will be delighted to hear about working with fellow passionate stylists in
