About Vicki Ogden-O’Fee
From a young age, Vicki always wanted to be a hairdresser, getting her first professional hairdryer at the age of seven. She used to sit for hours in her Aunties salon, dreaming of one day becoming a hairdresser and owning a salon of her own. She worked for free at a salon after school for two years to gain experience in the industry, which paid off when she secured an apprenticeship in ladies hairdressing.
After completing her lady’s hairdressing apprenticeship she set up her own business at the age of 18 as “Dial-a-Style” – a mobile hairdresser, going to people’s homes to do their hair for them. After two years she sold the business, which gave her enough money to get started in her first salon. She set up Headmasters Hair Design in Belfast, Christchurch, which quickly expanded to a larger site, with the addition of beauty services as well. Vicki worked on the floor along with a team of eight, until 2001 when she sold Headmasters Hair and Beauty to move on to a new challenge.
Vicki then bought into an existing franchise, starting with one salon. Over the next three years she opened five more stores and built the company up to more than 70 staff members. This was an exciting and challenging time, one where many friendships and new skills were established and developed. In 2007 she sold out of the franchise and started the V For Hair Group.
