Ivy MacNeill says getting her hair done was a painful and uncomfortable experience.
She says that in the 1980s there were no salons in Glasgow where a black girl could have her hair braided so it was mostly done by a family member - or sometimes behind the counter of the local African food store.
Ivy recalls having to stay home to get her hair braided at the weekend while all her friends were out playing.Years later when she had her own daughter, Ivy realised that Afro-Scots were still not getting the kind of specialist hair treatment she been travelling as far as London to receive.''Doing her hair and mine, with 40 hours a week at my IT job became stressful and frustrating.
''I was shocked to learn that no college in Scotland offered protective hair styling or a course on black hair," she says. The boot-camp will also train the students on salon etiquette, floor management and business relations.
