Alicia Riley knew from the tender age of 11-years-old that she wanted to be a hairdresser. Riley said that she realized she had a passion for hairdressing after watching her mother braid her sister’s hair.
“When I was an infant, my mother used to call me her little hairdresser. It was like she saw it in me before I saw it in myself. Looking back, I think I became engrossed in the art of hairdressing from watching my mom plait my sister’s hair for school,” she said.
The 23-year-old past student of the Springer Memorial School pursued her passion for hairdressing by studying cosmetology at her alma mater before going on to receive her Caribbean Certificate of Cosmetology.
