Social media may not be the most reliable source from which to gauge the mood of a generation, but it is there that fresher-faced commentators regularly complain of the babyboomers who have plundered future generations’ financial opportunities.
Josh Wood s Journey From Saturday Sweeping to Redefining At-Home Hair Color
Welcome to Big Break, where some of the most influential figures in the beauty industry reflect on the moments that made them from the good to the bad and everything in between. Here, colorist and founder of his eponymous brand Josh Wood shares what inspired him to pursue a career in hair and his lightbulb moment during the pandemic.
Josh Wood had no idea he wanted to work in the hair industry. In fact, he got his start at 17 by mistake, which all began with a Saturday job.
Growing up in Barnsley, Yorkshire, Wood didn t know what he wanted to do when he left school. He attended an art foundation course, and two or three months into his course, a friend of his got him a Saturday job sweeping hair in a salon. After about a month of working in that salon, I thought this is my place, Wood told POPSUGAR. So he ditched the art course a decision his mother wasn t very happy about.

Silver was born in a small mining village in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. She was premature, and spent the first three months of her life in an incubator. Silver’s mother was a midwife, and her father was an engineer. Growing up, she remembers her family being very political – her grandfather and uncles had all been miners, and she remembers village life feeling “over-observed .
“We had a big family, and lots of neighbours, and they all lived the same life. For my spirit, it was a bit over-observed and over-commented on. When I was a teenager, I remember thinking, Oh my God, everyone knows your business, and them telling my uncle I was seen on a bus talking to a boy. It was a very small world, and very, very intimate. You were everybody s child.”
