This episode is an absolute MUST for anyone considering working in the fashion industry as a hair or beauty pro.
London-based Aminata Kamara is a hairdresser who’s spent most of her life working in hair and has become known for her beautiful braided styles at shows such as Kenzo and Louis Vuitton.
In July 2023 Aminata's stunning designs for the Dior haute couture show went viral and she learned just how useful social media could be in making connections.
This conversation is an inside guide to working in the fashion industry and Aminata shares on every aspect; from assisting rather than leading, the importance of being organised and saying yes to every opportunity you can.
Along the way we also discuss the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and Aminata shares how doing someone's hair, is never simply about creating a style; it's often a precious moment of care in an industry that can be pretty ruthless.
