  • 1-2-1 mentoring session From overwhelm to on purpose

    1-2-1 mentoring session From overwhelm to on purpose
    2026/03/02
    Speaker 1: Before we dive into today's episode of The Learner's Voice, I want to take a moment to thank our sponsor PivotPoint. PivotPoint is the driving force worldwide behind digital learning, PivotPoint Lab and education development for the hair and beauty industry. PivotPoint proudly exhibits its responsibility as a company through ethica manufacturing and social accountability standards for producing its premium mannequins and educational tools. We are proud to partner with a company that's shaping the future of beauty education with innovation, integrity and a global vision for learning. Now let's get into the show. In today's episode I want to welcome Erin Ward. Thank you Erin for joining us today. You won a one-to-one mentoring session through concept hair competition and I'm just really excited to share your journey first year on the shop floor as a level three hairdresser and let's get into it. Are you struggling with anything at the minute? Like how's your journey going? Speaker 2: I just started in a new salon in December. I can't lie, I was so stressed. It was so bad. I actually got shingles because I was so stressed about stuff. I'm still in college now. I'm in level three but I've been doing hairdressing for four years. My first I say proper hairdressing job. Beforehand I was self-employed so I didn't have back-to-back clients, if that makes sense. I wasn't on a strict timing regime. The place I've gone to, it's like you have to be on this time. That's it. You can't go over. So it's quite stressful and I did think, I was like, oh my god, is this really what hairdressing is about? I think as well, I'm quite an anxious person as it is. I'm not very confident. If I know someone, I can talk for days to them, but if I don't know someone, I have to take people with me. I'm like, come over with me. I can't go by myself. So I am quite an anxious person but I think that's, I think it's through COVID. I used to be such a talkative person and then in COVID, just stops really. Speaker 1: You don't really get to talk to anyone. You've noticed the difference. Speaker 2: Yeah, and other people have said to me, they've noticed it as well. When I went back, everyone's like, you seem so different. It was like, oh, I don't realise it, but when someone points out to you, you finally realise, like, gosh, I have changed. But yeah. Speaker 1: Yeah. So what can be really helpful is if we do a bit of a brain dump of all every little thing that triggers that kind of stress and then we can look at what we can control and what we can't control. So I can kind of help you because sometimes just talking it through and having a few tools of how you would manage it can really help. So how are you coping right now on the shop floor? Do you still feel overwhelmed? Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's just like the pressure of being on a strict regime because I've been at college for four years now. It's quite chilled. Like my college is very chilled. They'll be like, yeah, do this. But some days it can be like boom, boom, boom. It's like it's so different. Like when people say like you don't experience hedges until you go to salon, I get it now. I really do. So how long do you get for some lunch? 45 minutes. Speaker 1: OK. And then like what, an hour 15, hour 30 for followed foils? Yeah, hour 15. Hour 15. Do you get a lunch break? Yeah. Yeah. Is it an hour, half an hour? Half an hour. Is that it for the whole day? Yeah. And then do you sometimes use that half hour to catch up? Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, normally I have to catch up. But like on my lunch break, I am normally doing like social media because that's the thing we have to do. I think the big thing nowadays, social media is like how you get clients. So yeah, sometimes I'm doing that. Speaker 1: My lunch break. Taking a break. I don't. No. Speaker 2: And then I go home and I go to bed. I literally go home, go to bed and then I'm up again and then I go straight to work. Like I don't have like. Just relax. I just come home. I'm so tired. I was just fed. It's not like I have. I do have a social life, but it's not as big as it was before I started working. And I know that's the thing that happens when you get older and all that. The one person I do speak to is the apprentice. And that's because I think we're on the same kind of wavelength because she's just started college and I'm helping her with it because I've been doing so long now at college. I kind of know the structure of what they've got to do. So she's always like, what's this? What's this? So I've bonded in that way, but with the older ones, like I'm the youngest person by one of the youngest in the salon now. It's hard to like connect to the older stylists. Is it's like what do you act like? I don't know what to say. Same with clients like I keep getting this. They keep saying to me like my work. They're like, you're just not talking to them as much as you could. The thing is I struggle to know what to talk about. So...
