🧡 Autumnal vibes with a copper glaze and a Dreamcoat seal…

🩷 Incase you didn’t know we are now open 7 x days a week.

Another Sunday service on a mother and daughter who traveled from Telford very early to visit us…

💐 We love it when we work on local business women who generally don’t get the time to get glammed up.

🩷 A real privilege to be asked to do these blowdrys especially for a summer wedding.

💇🏼‍♀️ Even more touching that they have been coming to us since we 1st established our business…

🩷 We pride ourselves on NO FILTER required with our photographic work.

Here is a before and after of a full head of foils after a 3 month visit…

🎨 A recent colour creation…

👩🏻‍🎓 On Monday 5th July 1993 I stepped into my 1st job role at Anthony James hairdressers in Norbury, South London. This was a two week placement from my schools work experience programme. I was fortunate enough to be asked back to work on Saturdays and late nights. Upon finishing school I started my apprenticeship which resulted in 2 x NVQ hairdressing and customer service qualifications. During the 18 x month apprenticeship I got to train at the Headmaster’s academy in Wimbledon village, this led to working alongside the teams at the Richmond, Kingston upon Thames and Croydon branches also.

💇🏻‍♀️ In 2001 I started at The cutting room in Streatham and worked alongside some very creative people. It was here that I discovered my love of hair colouring and decided that I wanted to further my career by becoming a colour educator.

🎨 January 2004 I started my colour journey at The Goldwell Academy in Mayfair. It was here that my whole career changed. I got to meet and work with celebrity stylists, participate in stage work and teach hairdressers and salon owners how to use Goldwell professional hair colour and KMS California retail products.

🏆 In 2011 after a personal move I started a job at Francescos in Newcastle under lyme. I spent 5 years there having an amazing time with great people. As a team we collaborated and got through to the finals of the 2013/ 2014 Wella Trendvision midlands category for creative colour and cutting.

💐 In 2016 after careful consideration I decided to launch my own business and thanks to a loyal customer base and team, we are now located at the Tern valley business park.

👏🏻 There are way too many people to mention but a BIG THANKS to EVERYONE that I have had the privilege of working with over the past 30 years!!

Especially to everyone that has and continues to support my business and the people that assist in making our job FUN🩷
