Cinthia is a real star. Having completed three Shaping Futures training courses in Lima, Peru, we helped her secure a job as a hairdresser. She then presented her impressive skills on stage at the Essential Looks World Tour in Barcelona, winning everyone‘s heart with her talent and passion.
"Shaping Futures has opened a lot of doors for me and taught me a skill that will help build my future.”
From growing up in an SOS children’s village in India to demonstrating her artistry on the Essential Looks World Tour stage in Berlin, Manashi showed how far one person can come in 19 short years. Her Shaping Futures training in Chennai, equipped her with the power to shape her life in a new way. Now, she is working at Naturals, one of the biggest hair salon chains in India.
In Colombia, Shaping Futures discovered Duver, a young man with real talent and an infectious passion. We invited this newcomer to the Essential Looks World Tour to showcase his skills and commitment. His achievements inspired his younger brother Alexis to follow in his footsteps, taking a Sunday hairdressing course himself. Now the two brothers have their own salon called Street DA (from their initials), where they work side by side, every day.
Tebogo really stood out during his Shaping Futures training in South Africa. His ability and commitment prompted one of his trainers – award-winning hairdresser and renowned stylist, Ania Kulec-Karampotis – to offer him an apprenticeship at her salon ‘Trendy Hair Fashion’ in Poland.
“Before Shaping Futures, I wasn’t really sure what to do with my life, but when my mother told me about the training I grabbed the chance – and it feels great. I am just really thankful to Shaping Futures for giving me the opportunity to become a great stylist."
