Perhaps it is most fitting that you hear stories about professionals who used to do something that resembles their current career when they were young and impressionable children. Maybe they used to play dress-up and wear their mother’s heels and pearls and now are fashion designers or wardrobe stylists. Or maybe they would style their doll’s hair or love to use makeup and now have a career in hair design or makeup application. There is probably some type of correlation between the person who they used to be and who they eventually become.

Jamie Kociela is no exception. She used to practice styling her own hair in the mirror when she was young and use magazines as a reference. She really loved it and went on to hair design school after high school and obtained her cosmetology license. As she continues to work her way to being a successful salon owner, Jamie has learned a lot. Check out her story in Cutting to the Chase at Hair Design Schools.
