I love the variety of creative work, there are so many different avenues to use our craft, and by combining The Pop Up Salon location work with salon work it keeps things exciting and ever changing. In Base I'm proud to have created an environment where we as hairstylists can excel as individuals breaking stereotypical hairdressing moulds. We don't wear Uniform we don't wear black, we dress to suit our individual styles- we are in the fashion industry after all! We sit down and have a cup of tea with our guests, we sing and dance if we want to..we really, really enjoy our work, the environment being a relaxed, happy and creative place with really caring stylists is my priority.
