Hayley Jepson started hairdressing at 17 and found her passion to be a colour technician (mainly because colour technicians are the funniest people you could ever meet) and has been continuing on for nearly three decades.  She has worked for Toni and Guy for 10 years, has taught in their training academies and on stage for them. Hayley worked at several branches in namely Manchester, Brighton, and Belgium. She even taught their NVQ in their training schools too! Hayley has went through her own ups and downs so she decided to focus on herself which led her to work as a therapist! In her new psychotherapy role, she specialized in teenagers. Eventuall, she made a leap of faith and got back her passion for working at the salon full time. Now, she aims to go forward and arm hairdressers with the tools they need to avoid the stress, anxiety, and burnout that every hairdresser goes through! She aims to make a brighter and happier future with the help of her workshops and her story!  Follow Hayley in Instagram & on her website@the.resilient.hairdresserhttps://www.theresilienthairdresser.co.uk/----more----Connect with Emily on Instagram!@mindfulhair.by.emily@stories.with.stylistsWanna hear from your favorite stylists or be a guest your self!?
