Danielle Kennedy, Owner and Managing Director of The Collective by Lloyd's, joins Maria on The Saturday Cafe.

She has a hair salon in Waterford and Wexford.

She has 43,000 followers on Tik-Tok who love to watch her revamp her house. She is also President of the Irish Hairdressing Federation, despite having no experience being a hairdresser.

Danielle had no plans of owning her own business, but four months after being hired as a manager at Lloyd's Hair Salon, she was discussing taking over.

She tells Maria about building a good business and how your staff should not depend on you to be there in other for things to function, and about the positives of the hairdressing industry.

Her downtime is very valuable to her, even though she has a passion for DIY and gardening.

She has revamped many rooms in her house (bar the bathroom) and is currently working on a shower door.
