Sheridan Rose West, the founder of MamaWest, a hairdressing and beauty salon in Maidstone that was started during the pandemic, in late 2021, is extraordinary! Her life story is rich with experience; leaving school at 14 to learn about makeup and hair, falling into drug addiction and her heroic effort to come clean involving 18 months in rehab, her passion for helping others and her drive to succeed. This makes it an interview you won't want to miss! As soon as you walk in the door of MamaWest, you can feel the positive vibe. The decor is gorgeous with pastels and quirky fittings and it just feels cool and really warm and friendly.

Sheridan is really open about her life, and her experiences before she arrived in the inner west. She is so passionate about the community and making a safe space for women to hang out, as well as providing luxury, high-end cutting and colouring services. During the interview, she talks about the three other women who form the co-op, and how much she loves her new business. She has learned the value of a dollar over the years and explains why she is a hanger-oner when it comes to money and how it came in handy when opening the salon during the pandemic. There is just so much gold in this interview with Sheridan.
