2023 will see me 30 years in the hairdressing industry. I have been dedicated to the hairdressing profession my whole life. To me it has always been a skill, a profession, a true love never just a job. I strive to hit the hair goals I set for myself every year. I make sure that my standards never drop and I learn new things when ever I get the chance every year. I now realise all the things that I have learnt over the last 30years that it is time for me to share instead of leaving it behind. My next true love as I have discovered since owing my salons is teaching my young apprentices coming through and watching there passion grow and knowing my job now is to learn how to teach them properly with guidelines and structure. This I now look forward to achieving.
