Lesley Jennison has spent four decades at the forefront of professional hair colour.
From walking into Vidal Sassoon in Sloane Square at 17 to becoming Global Brand Ambassador for Schwarzkopf Professional and Fellowship Hairdresser of the Year, Lesley has built a career spanning salon work, education, fashion, shows, product development and creative collaboration.
In this episode of DYE JOB, Sophie talks to Lesley about the hard graft behind that career: learning her craft at Sassoon, winning her first industry award as an assistant, creating colour collections, working internationally and developing the breadth of knowledge required to work at the highest level.
They also look at where hairdressing is heading, why the industry needs to do more to excite the next generation, the limitations of learning solely through social media and why great colourists never stop learning.
Warm, funny and candid, Lesley also reflects on the more personal side of a 40-year career — from the nerves she still feels before stepping on stage to the confidence hairdressing has given her and the time it has taken away.
A conversation about colour, creativity, education, longevity and why hard work can take you to places you only dreamed of.
