'I left home and used all my savings... now at 22 I'm set to open my first salon in Manchester city centre'
At just 22-years-old, Callum Townsend is gearing up to fulfill his dream - of opening his own salon in Manchester's thriving city centre. It has, by no means, been an easy ride, using up every last penny of his savings in a city he only moved to 12 months ago.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News ahead of its launch, on Monday , the hairdresser said: "Being in the hair industry, everyone's visions are so different. When you have a passion for your career and someone else isn't on board with what you're doing, it can make you extremely unhappy. "Social media has been my saving grace, and the word of mouth has been huge. When you have a passion for what you do and you just love it so much, you don't see it as a job and it becomes much easier to talk about and promote."
He added: "Moving to Manchester last year, I came with nothing. I had no money, and I have scraped every barrel, selling so much of what I have to save, save, save and make this happen. "When you have such a passion, it can be difficult knowing you are making employers thousands of pounds in profit. I have made other companies over £150,000 for my skill over the years.
