It’s one thing to find a job that you’re good at. It’s another thing when you find something you’re passionate about that you can do for the rest of your life. At nearly 100 years old, Callie Terrell has literally done both.
She is a hairstylist and beautician who has been doing this for almost her whole life and yes, she still has clients. You would think at 99-years-old she would just sit down somewhere and enjoy grandchildren like many her age, but nope, not Mrs. Terrell. She simply loves what she does.
That’s right. On any given day you can find Mrs. Terrell doing a roller set, maybe doing a bob or a cut-and-style. Oh, and she still drives to work too
“I work because this is what I’ve enjoyed doing all my life from a little girl,” says Terrell. “I always loved messing with my sister’s hair. They had beautiful hair and I always enjoyed doing this.”
Mrs. Terrell now only works to keep busy and to satisfy a few longtime customers, like her daughter Inez. Terrell is still sharp with her mind and her scissors as she awaits her 100th birthday in November 2018.
“Whenever I give out my birthday to people, you have to pay for it. November 26th, how old will I be? One hundred, how about that?” says the Tennessee native.
