Some of my most memorable moments in my career journey and up there at the top must be having entered the L’Oréal colour trophy semi final’s for the south east, and auditioning for L’Oréal ID ARTIST. Prior to opening the salon I loved to work with local photographers and create looks for photoshoots that now take centre stage on the walls within the salon, this is where the name originated from, having a gallery of hair pictures displayed but also a sentimental story to go along with the shoots is close to my heart.

The salon has a very unique personal feel to it, I also love interior design and feel I really wanted convey this into the salon setting, creating something a little different. It is very important to me that guests feel comfortable and confident in the salon so I wanted to created a ‘quiet room’ away from the buzzy atmosphere of the busy salon day to day life, this is a great place to sit and relax whilst having your hair styled where client and stylist do not need to talk and shut off from the world.

We have an in house Wella educator that visits the salon to keep us up to date or to travel to London and attend Wella courses in the studio. You can never stop learning in this industry as it does not just stop at the NVQ qualifications, I am very enthusiastic at investing in myself and courses bring me alive by bringing back the energy into my work and salon, some fantastic courses have been barbering with Wahl, Redken, Emily Mander online education and a human kind balayage course.

I really hope you enjoy the salon experience and thank you for choosing us as a salon.
