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!

Salon Support
Carol
I started at gorgeous in August 2018 & my role is salon support. My day is spent helping clients to feel comfortable and relaxed in a friendly atmosphere. I will also be heard laughing and joking with my team members, particularly Adam :)
Claire
I joined the team in September 2021 as their receptionist. I love working with the team, even if it only for a few hours each week, such a fun atmosphere to work in. Meeting all the clients and getting to know them all individually is a highlight of my day.
Emilia
I joined Gorgeous in October 2023 as salon support. My role involves keeping the salon organised and ensuring both my coworkers and the clients have what they need. You'll often find me washing hair and tidying up, all whilst maintaining a welcoming environment.
