"I still enjoy hairdressing as much as I did in 1993, when I started as a Saturday boy. The relationships you build with both colleagues and clients along with the creativity and ability to make people feel like a million dollars is what sets hairdressing as a career apart from many others, and i love this! In my spare time I enjoy varied activities including Pilates, socialising, films and travelling and seeing new places".

"I have been a hairdresser for 30 years, I always wanted to be a hairdresser because I have a great eye for what suits my clients - especially to suit their personalities and lifestyle.

• L'Oreal Colour Trophy Semi Finalist
I have worked at Gorgeous now for over 13 years and I am thoroughly enjoying my time here. I have qualified in Level 2 hairdressing and now run a busy column within the salon. I became a hairdresser because I was inspired by the different styles that can be created and taken from the fashion world, and enjoy taking part in photoshoots.
Charlotte- Stylist
I have been working at Gorgeous for over 3 years and I love being a part of an amazing and vibrant team. After completing my NVQ level 2 with a distinction I am excited to have now also completed my NVQ Level 3. I enjoy running a busy column and growing my confidence as a stylist. Since leaving school and beginning an apprenticeship I have fallen in love with hairdressing and cannot imagine doing anything else. I am passionate about what I do and strive to being the best I can be. My favourite part of hairdressing is seeing the happiness on guests faces once I have done their hair; hair can change a person’s whole mood and I take great pleasure in being able to create that feeling for guest’s multiple times a day!
