I have no special talents, i am only passionately curious - Abert Einstein said. How true!!
Believe it or not i became a qulified Hairdresser in September 1997!!
i know where has that time gone?
I truely believe that you do indeed learn something new every day intentionally or not.
Throughout my career i've done my best to keep up with current cutting, colouring and styling techniques, products and of course social media and lets face fashion certainly has changed a bit in those years. All the certificates i can find are in the gallery let me say there are many missing too.
Hair & Beauty Professionals Against Domestic Abuse
1 in 4 women will experience abuse from a partner or ex-partner at some time in their life and 2 are killed each week. They may be our clients, colleagues – even family and friends.
Seeing the signs, offering a kind word and providing information on how to access professional support may change or save someone’s life.
It’s not about intervening or interfering, but knowing how you can truly help someone who may really need it.
What is domestic abuse?
The definition is broad and there are many variations of it.
Abuse may be psychological or emotional, physical, sexual, harassing, coercive or controlling behaviours.
It’s not easy to spot given that abuse may be more than a physical injury or injuries that may or may not be visible. With some insight, our unique relationships with clients or colleagues may reveal what’s hidden behind their mask.
Most women see a hairdresser and use the services of a beautician. Many clients go back to the same professional because of their great service, treatments and their loyal relationship. We are renowned for being experienced listeners and it’s no surprise that many people feel comfortable talking and confiding in us about things that they would never tell anyone else. We often feel like counsellors as people unburden themselves during their treatments though most of us are not professionally trained in this field! We’re being empathetic. We’re being human.
Our relationship puts us in a unique position to be able to notice signs of abuse and offer help. It may be the only opportunity someone has to be on their own whilst they are in our space where they may feel safe. We can give them a chance to reach out for help or we can suggest where help can be found, when they feel ready for it.
We are really well positioned to sensitively and safely refer clients or colleagues – even family or friends – to resources that are best placed to help them. It’s as simple as that and you can help to change or save someone’s life.
