Hi, I’m
Olivia Milsom
Caloundra,Australia
Summary
Apprentice Hairdresser with hands-on experience at Evalyn Parsons, skilled in color application and client consultation. Adept at multitasking in high-pressure environments while delivering exceptional salon services. Strong communicator with a keen attention to detail, committed to enhancing client satisfaction and achieving team goals.
I am now looking at steering away from hair for a while and I’ve always worked in hospitality prior to hair so I’m very comfortable and confident in that environment as well as my hands on experience with dealing with people defusing intense situations and keeping customers happy and attended to.
