Especially at 20 yrs old. At this age you have the freedom to work the hours that fit your lifestyle. At 16 you still live at home, and under the lifestyle of your parents. Never give up your dreams.

I, at the age of 34, decided I would go to college to do hairdressing......I loved it and personally found being a bit older I took it in more....I am soooooooo glad I did it, so dont worry about your age..the oldest person on my course was 47!!!!

I'd be thrilled to have a 20 year old assistant instead of a 16 year old. The first 3 months with a 16 year old is teaching them how a washing machine works, and what colour a decent cup of tea should look like. Those 3 months could be condensed to 2 days with a 20 year old, and the rest of the time spent actually learning hairdressing. Can you support yourself financially whilst you are learning? If you are going to make the decision to try it, you should do so soon as the new courses usually begin in September.

If you think you would really be interested in it and you have tried other things and are here or "hair" in your life, then go for it. You will be focused on the goal starting at 20 rather than 16. If it feels like the right thing then go for it!! Good Luck!! **Krista** You must be logged in to reply to this message. | Report to moderator   Logged   justholly (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 4 Karma: 0   Re:To old to start a hairdressing career? by justholly 2 Months, 1 Week ago im 30 married with 3 kids but ive always been intrested in hairdressing i was very ill last yr and its then it hit me that if u really want to do something you have to go out and get it no one is going to give it to you ... soi did im now starting my 2nd year and i got all 5 distinctions yay couldnt believe it ...most in my class were 17 to 25 and being alittle older really helps so if i can do it u too can do it dont let ur dream fade go for it!!!!!!!!11 You must be logged in to reply to this message. | Report to moderator   Logged
