Does anyone know how Sophia wound up as the prison hairdresser?

I mean, she used to be a firefighter, how does that translate to, apparently, being the best hairdresser in camp? There was nothing else in her backstory that I saw which would indicate that it was a skill she was already proficient in before.

And she somehow even got her hands on the likely only salon room.

I mean, yeah, plenty of people get assigned to places like electrical that you'd think would require prior experience, but Piper was one of many workers there, others could pick up the slack. But based on what she said about the other hairdresser, there are only two hairdressers there, total.
