Additional Information
After changing careers 8 years ago, I would love the opportunity to work in the hair industry again. Having gained over a decade of knowledge and on going training, including the Toni and Guy vardering process, my skills and industry knowledge are vast. Having continued to work from home doing hair services on friends and family, I am still very familiar with precision cutting and styling skills. High pressure and fast moving walk in style services have been ongoing throughout my tattoo career. Customer service is paramount to maintaining good client relationships and has been transferrable through both professions. Previous salon training means I'm well versed in product recommendations and sale techniques.
Iam well presented and work well in team environments.
