From apprentice to education director—how do you get there without a straight line? Hit play. 10 quick questions, zero fluff with Paul Corbett, Director of Advanced Education at Francesco Hair Group. We map his path—apprentice → cutting specialist → educator → mentor → salon owner → education lead—and the moves that mattered: industry events, mentorship, and award entries that built confidence and a passion for short, precision cuts. Plus: consultations that count, real listening, making clients feel valued, time hacks, team‑first leadership, creative projects, and teaching hairdressing as a life skill in Cambodia. For hairdressers, barbers, salon owners, and apprentices.
