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.
He left his Oxfordshire home, where he lived with his family, and uprooted to a city 150 miles away in June of last year. Becoming tired of working for other salons and making them huge profits, he decided to take the plunge and open up on his own, specialising in colourings, curly and afro-textured hair.
Over the last 12 months, Callum, 22, has 'saved, saved, saved' to be able to muster up enough cash - about £5,000 - to launch his first salon 'Human First' on Deansgate along with business partner Keri, who runs business Hair Has No Gender.
