  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • On a day to day basis I am cleaning the salon and helping the stylists by passing up to them. I also get to have my own clients and do blowdrys and colours on them.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • During my apprenticeship I have learnt many new skills. One of which is confidence in speaking to clients. This was a very big thing for me as I couldn’t even answer the phone at the start.
