“It has been a dream of mine to be a hairdresser, ever since I was little,” said Miss Mills.

“I wasn’t quite ready to leave school, so I decided to do the apprenticeship school-based.

“I was trained in foiling, haircuts; I can do everything now.”

 Miss Mills is proud of her achievements and is excited to see what happens next.

“I’m not sure what I want to do yet. I love it here, I love the clients. I haven’t decided what the next goal is,” she said.
