Taking over 6 months to pluck up the courage to tell his dad that he wanted to go in to hairdressing, Joey has never looked back since that day.<br> <br> Today we're going to hear how one to one mentoring with leading mens hairdresser, Dale Ted Watkins was in part responsible for Joey going on to work with a former guest of How To Cut It, Johnny Shanahan at BarberBarberUK, Spitalfields, London as senior barber & head of the show team.
