How we work
Trained together, every month
On the first Monday of each month the salon is closed for training. We practise new techniques on models, review each other's work and keep our colour plans consistent, so whoever you see, the standard is the same.
Mara spent ten minutes watching how my curls fall before she cut a single strand. First cut I have not had to fix at home.
