Vince Weishaus is a 11-year-old hair stylist in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Vince has his own salon in his parent’s basement. He started doing hair when he was 2 years old with braiding his mother’s hair and playing with his sister’s dolls. His favorite hairstyle to do was braiding. He gave his first haircut to his grandmother at the age of 5 under the careful supervision and assistance of his Aunt.
From there, Vince’s love for hair grew, so much so that his parents gave him his own salon for his 9th birthday. The supplies were donated from his old neighbor who moved to a different house. Vincent Charles Salon was open for appointments, all free of charge.
His Instagram has only around 2500 follower, but highlights a smiley, happy young boy living out his dream. Vince Weishaus enjoys being a stylist because he enjoys making people feel happy. While Vince is still young, he wants to become a celebrity hair colorist. The sky is the limit when you work hard and do what you love and continue to work hard. Vince figured out that is you love your work, you won’t “work” a day in your life.
This is great to see and hear. I really love when children find their passions and their parents help them at a young age.
Okay the coolest thing about this is I live less than five minutes away from Bloomfield Hills! I wonder if any of my friends or extended family members that live in BH have heard of him. What I love about this story though is how his parents are allowing him to follow what he loves most. I feel like most parents point their kids in the direction of sports or arts, but this family is embracing this boys gift and talent.
This is such a cute story! I think that it’s great how his parents gifted him a salon for his birthday and how his neighbor gave him all the equipment and supplies needed. You can clearly tell from the pictures that he is happy and loves what he does. Even as a 11 year old, Vince created something out of his passions, which we can see in a lot of entrepreneurs today.
Although I would never let an 11 year old cut my hair, it’s awesome to see how supportive people are to trust him with their styling! Way to go to the little man.
