我是不是已经错过了最佳的时机？这个问题 lately often pops up in my mind whenever I think about pursuing a career as a hairstylist. You see, 40 is not old by any means, but it's also not young. It's that awkward age where people start questioning their life choices and wondering if they've missed the boat.

The thought of becoming a hairstylist had always fascinated me. I love the idea of transforming someone's look with just a few snips and styling products. But every time I consider enrolling in a course or applying for an apprenticeship, doubt creeps in. Is it too late for me to start?

I know many successful hairstylists who started their careers much later than 40. They were once like me – hesitant and unsure – but they took the leap and now they're thriving in their field. They tell me that age is just a number and that passion, dedication, and hard work are what truly matter.

But there are also those who say that starting late can be disadvantageous. The industry is constantly evolving, with new trends emerging every season. If you don't get into it early enough, you might struggle to keep up.

Despite these concerns, I'm determined to pursue my dream of becoming a hairstylist at 40. I've already enrolled in an online course to learn the basics of haircutting and coloring techniques from home before committing to an apprenticeship or formal training program.

It won't be easy; there will be long hours spent practicing on friends' hair (and occasionally on myself), endless trial-and-error attempts until I perfect my craft, all while juggling work commitments as well as family responsibilities (if applicable). But hey! Life isn't easy anyway!

So here goes nothing! Wish me luck as I embark on this journey towards realizing my lifelong ambition at this pivotal moment when many would say "it's never too late."
