I’m happy and satisfied, because I made it alone

My interest in hairstyle and for a career as a hairdresser came after I attended a course in ENAIP Borgosesia, but it was especially during the internship experience planned during the course that my passion grew. I chose vocational training because I wanted to start working as soon as I finished my studies: but at that time I didn’t know that this job wouldn’t only be an employment to earn money and become independent, and that it was going to be so meaningful for me.

Actually, once I finished the 3years-course I started working in different hair salons, I became a teacher, I worked in the fashion industry and I participated in the Fashion Week in Milan; then, I made a choice: I came back home, in Valsesia.

Here I am the owner of “We Hair Studio”, a hair salon in Quarona: it reflects me and my personality, it’s a place where I can take care of people and their hair. I’m happy and satisfied, because I made it alone; I want to work my own way, without compromises.
