Summary

Stylist extensively trained at upscale salons in proper styling, cutting and colouring techniques. Innate communication and relationship-building skills aid customer satisfaction and retention rates.


As stated above although I would be new to the retail market in a different setting I believe I currently posses a number of transferable skills from my chosen profession.

I still work from home but am keen to learn new skills which will fit with my current lifestyle as a busy mum to a seven year old girl. I am extremely reliable, honest and hard working and would if required be able to provide pervious employer recommendations
