Lesley

(Eliminated) A retired teacher turned hair trainee, Lesley, 58, is keen to show people that they should not be frightened of a career change whatever their age.

Lesley owned and taught at her own dance school before retraining to be a school teacher at 40. She discovered her love of hairdressing later and - as a creative person - loves coming up with unusual styles. She admits she hasn't had much cutting training but is excited about working with different hair types and would eventually love to work on TV and film sets.
