Catherine Rivière-Seguin will be at the Saint-Quay-Portrieux press house, Friday, December 27, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., for the signing of her book “Les coiffureres… Mes bellesaventures”. Hairdresser by profession, Catherine Rivière-Seguin is the 4th generation of hairdressers in her family. “I was practically born in my mother's hairdressing salon,” emphasizes the woman whose ancestor had opened a hairdressing salon under the arcades of the Palais Royal in Paris. “And whose storefront has been preserved,” explains Catherine Rivière-Seguin, well known to many Quinoceans since she ran the “Manoë Around the Earth” store for several years, opposite the convention center and which presented, in addition to crafts, a small hairdressing corner with objects from different family salons.
Far from clichés
Passionate about human nature, and about her job as a hairdresser, which she has practiced for many years, Catherine Rivière-Seguin could not not write about her two passions. “In my book, I trace the history of my family, the profession and its evolution.” A work which is a true humanist journey and which shows hairstyle “as you have never imagined it, far from the clichés that we can have of it”. A work that Catherine Rivière-Seguin did not feel capable of writing at first. “But by dint of drafts and thanks to the help of Hélène Blockelet, public writer, I overcame the ordeal. And then it would have been a shame not to leave a trace.”
