And I’ll be honest with you, that stung. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, at my core, one of my deepest desires is just to have people like me.

When I was 21, I moved to London and got a job in a salon where I had to build a clientele. I remember during my interview process they told me to go out on the street and get a client in for a haircut. It was a little intimidating!
