"The college gave me a fantastic foundation and the skills I needed to be able to progress within the industry and now to be enjoying a successful career in the local area."
Joe's former tutor, Clare Wade, said: "It was great to get in contact with Joe and to be able to invite him to come in and talk to our current students about his experiences and time in the industry since leaving college.
"The group really got a lot out of watching him in action and having the opportunity to ask questions about life in the industry."
Head of college Andrew Counsell said: "I think what Joe has achieved really highlights the way our courses prepare students for work. He has achieved a great deal of success for someone of his age and it was a pleasure to be able to invite him to Saltash to talk to our current students."

“On the contrary ODB, I did hear that one of the Wurzels is a regular in Joe's salon, and there is a rumour that once a man claiming to be a squad member at Plymouth Albion stopped in for some 'prophylactics'.”

“Has this newspaper got nothing better to report on???..an article about a hairdresser from Liskeard going back to college to talk to students!!!!!
While I wont knock his achievememts at all....he aint exactly one of the worlds top hairdressers...
No wonder this newspaper is rapidly going down the pan..wont be long before it has vanished into the mists of time ..only to be remembered for its non stories!!!....Plus what has this got to do with Plymouth anyway?”
