Poopak Parish

I was born on April 3, 1972 in Tehran, Iran. At the age of 14, I moved by myself to Germany in order to escape the political situation in Iran.

After receiving my High School diploma, I got married and my husband was the reason I started my career as a hairstylist. I completed Vocational Trade School achieving the highest level in this profession and was awarded the title: “Master of Hairstylist”. In seeking to improve my skills and credentials, I visited different academies in Munich and Stuttgart, participated in styling events such as the LʼOreal Colour Trophy as well as various other competitions.

Languages and world travel are two of my passions. I am fluent in German, English, French, Persian, Italian and I am currently learning Spanish. My preference for travel and experiences in other countries has increased so I decided to leave Germany after many years of working there. In 2009, I moved to Toronto, Canada and spent 7 months working in several salons before visiting Los Angeles and working in one salon there.

I returned to the salon in Germany that I helped to build up in March of 2010 to participate in multiple competitions, events and charities for children in other countries.

In attempt to expand my horizons on a personal level, I have participated in some extraordinary activities such as bungee jumping, deep sea diving, running competitively in a half marathon and engaging in long term meditation. To get more in life, I try to do what I have never done.

My objective is to pursue a career as a Hair Stylist or as an educator with a salon or company that offers opportunities for growth and advancement on the international level.

I want to utilize my extensive knowledge to the fullest potential. My resume highlights my professional and educational accomplishments.
