Getting started
I have always been keen on fashion, but did not want to work with clothes. As I loved experimenting on my own hair, one day I had to visit a salon with my mother to fix one of my miscalculated efforts! The whole buzz and atmosphere was amazing and I guess, it all started from there. My first job was with Clipso at the Watford salon.
Courses undertaken
I have not done any formal course, however, I have been a part of iconic teams, such as Wella Generation NOW and the F.A.M.E team that has given me training and inspirated me to continue working with the industry icons. We learn everyday from the people we work with and from research on social media platforms and fashion websites.
