Injury as turning point
However, Juliëtte had some challenges in her career path. Things didn’t always go according to plan. At age fifteen she began her career in the hair industry, where she gained twelve years of experience as a hairdresser in various salons and backstage for shoots. Nine out of these twelve years she worked at Christiaan Aveda Lifestyle Salon. The daily strain of cutting hair resulted in a persistent shoulder injury, leading Juliëtte towards being stuck at home and not being able to work for two whole years. Her chronic injury meant a turning point in her life.
Freelance Hair & Make-up Artist
In 2011 Juliëtte decided to listen to her heart and became a freelance Hair & Make-up Artist. She worked backstage for shoots and started her own hair and make-up school in 2013, named Visious Academy. In 2017 she changed the name of the school to JDO Academy. Also, Juliëtte can be booked nationally and internationally as educator for custom-made education, masterclasses and private courses by (hairdressing) salons, schools and entrepreneurs.
