Welcome back to Trendy with Kim Allison, you guys! Today I am sitting down with my longtime client turned fellow hairdresser, Leesha Wynn, to talk about her incredible story of starting over and pivoting into cosmetology at 50. We are getting into everything from her early days sitting in my chair with that iconic pixie cut to transitioning out of corporate, navigating beauty school, and building a thriving salon suite business on her own terms. It is never too late to reinvent yourself and build a career you truly love! Hit that subscribe button if you are watching on YouTube, and please rate and review wherever you stream podcasts!
