Photo by @yesfira Becoming a hairdresser was a natural evolution for 21-year-old Yesfira Sidorenko (@yesfira). ?In ninth grade, I got interested in doing hair from watching online tutorials, and started practicing on my little sisters,? says Yesfira, who was born in Latvia and lives in Alaska. ?After high school, I decided to go to cosmetology school, got a job as a hairdresser, and this is where I am today.? Braids were one of Yesfira?s earliest styles she worked to perfect, and she?s stuck with them through the years, adding in more complex twists, waves and updos for weddings and special occasions. ?If I were going to #prom today, I would wear my hair in a loose mermaid wave, with my hair tucked to one side with a clip.?
