| - Creative Director / Senior Stylist | | |
I started hairdressing as a Saturday girl in Leigh-on-sea and was there for a year and a half. I finished school and went straight to London, Oxford Circus, working at Burlingtons and completed my NVQ level 2. Whilst at Burlingtons I was part of the Young Artistic Team as the youngest member and did hair shows and seminars around England. I took part in salon international and best of all London fashion week where I helped style hair for the Elizabeth Wakely Catwalk. It was then time to move on and explore so I decided to come to WOO. October 2005 we entered Schwarzkopf's creative team show which was held at Cafe Paris in London and won Creative Team of the Year award after presenting our latest collection from the salon. In 2006 I was very happy to be apart of Schwarzkopf’s YATS team which involved me to travel around England doing shows and seminars. I fill that I learnt and achieved a great deal whilst being on the YATS.
I'm Creative Director for woo which involves managing Woo's creative team, also producing Woo's essential looks from month to month. I also organise certain events like Model Searches which I and a few other team members pick the very best models.
Over all I'm very passionate about my work and my role that i have at Woo, I enjoy cutting and styling hair differently and giving customers what they want!

I hope I can continue my creative career for aslong as she has and continue to help people feel and look great with their style.

| - Colour Technician | | |
Woo is the first salon I've worked in and I love it. I started here in 2005 as an assistant working my way through my NVQ’s, however in 2008 I decided that colour was my passion. I have been trained to the highest level with goldwelI, I am a colour master and there is not anything that I do not know.
Here at Woo I am the head colour technician. All technical colour work is carried out by me and my team of exceptionally educated technicians. My knowledge, expertise and love of colour will assist you in looking and feeling fantastic. I will work together with your stylist during your consultation, enabling you to have a perfect colour to show off your fabulous haircut. Professional home care is essential to help maintain your colour. I will prescribe the correct home care treatments for you to use once you leave the salon.
Every day is different for me at Woo and that’s what I love. I enjoy working with different clients and creating new ideas.
