Today's episode is with a young Stylist of Influence Aisling Kenny of House of Colour. Aisling started her hairdressing career a mere 8 year's ago in a suburban salon close to her home. This young ambitious apprentice hairdresser started to see her career move into another gear when in 2017 she won a place on the prestigious Irish Hairdressers Federation Star Team at her second attempt. This along with the amazing training with some of the leading Hair Stylist's in Ireland gave her the confidence to enter The IHF Championship's as a not yet qualified stylist at he new hair home at House of Colour she had to enter the senior competition as she was more than four years hairdressing & to Aisling's amazement she took first place in The Ladies Full Fashion Cut & Colour category. This inspired Aisling to carry on competing and since then she has won the silver award at the Wella Trendvision award's. This then led to Aisling been invited to be part of Wella’s Generation Now team where she got opportunities to be mentored by some of the best in the industry, while getting incredible opportunities to teach and do a college tour with wella across the UK & Ireland getting opportunities, such as working with VIP's back stage at the National Television Awards in London  also to work as backstage hair stylist for London fashion week. Aisling has been so proud to see her work featured in various fashion & hairdressing magazines. Recently Aisling was awarded an Icon of House of Colour Award at the company's annual award's. Aisling used her time in lockdown to up-skill and even found the time along with her mentor and owner of House of Colour David Campbell to write a book HEAD START (a trainee survival guide) based on her own experience as a trainee hairdresser th aim of the book is to  help future professionals achieve the career they deserve from hard work and dedication they put into their training, by giving them guidelines and goal's to follow as they progress through their training.
