tell us about your career journey then so like over the 25 years and how you have kind of ended up with great limbs

okay so i started off in a salon in nottingham city center where i did my training i was a little bit old when i did my training so i feel like i was definitely ready for what was kind of to come and then i moved from there after completing my apprenticeship to go freelance at a salon just outside of Nottingham and then from there kind of kept on that journey for a little bit which led me to open my own salon which I've had now for 12 years so and after I've been there for obviously I'd probably say for about eight nine years I just decided to venture out into something a little bit different I hate to say this and my girls will probably shout at me for this but the salon is better without me being there I can focus a lot more on kind of growing the business rather than kind of you know being there and being hands-on Plus, my focus did change and kind of went into education with a previous role that I had before with a competitor, not with a competitor, with a different brand, which led me to where I am now.

You have to take that bit out.

yeah so don't get me wrong hair extensions are great for adding length but there are so many different things that you can do with hair extensions thickness and fullness is one of them um if you've got particularly fine hair also um chemical free color yeah that's another good one because obviously these days people are kind of wanting to do those big color transformations um You don't want to damage your hair.
17:31
It's all about keeping the integrity of your hair.
17:33
So the best way to do it really would be through hair extensions, especially if you wanted something like a balayage or some kind of bright fashion pieces in there.
17:42
We can definitely achieve that with hair extensions.
