We had the good fortune of connecting with Teddy Mason (Princeofhair) and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Teddy, what is the most important factor behind your success?

The most important factor behind my success was my determination to prove doubters wrong and my desire to give back to my parents. Despite facing many naysayers who said I couldn’t or wouldn’t succeed, their doubts fueled my growth and drive. Also Working with partners that have filled me with pipe dreams , being asked to leave salons because I have to many clients etc .. Above all, my goal was to retire my parents and take care of them the way they took care of me.
