HAYDEN CASSIDY HAIR
The day I committed to working in a shop, was the day I fell in love with hair. I’ve worked now for 5 years in the industry and I've never taken a break from it. Every trip I do, every weekend I’m off, I’m still thinking about, or doing something creative with hair - projects, shoots, educating - it’s been an incredible journey but also an intense one. I think you need to give it everything to get where you want to be.
