Question 1

Why Choose a freelance hairdresser?

Accepted Answer

For many people having a freelance hairdresser who will come to you is much more convenient, it offers you a lot more flexibility, not worrying about childcare or pets, no parking or travel problems (let’s be honest we all know how long it takes for a colour, cut and finish). I have a daughter myself, so I know how hard it is to get some “you time”. Being a freelance hairdresser enables me to provide a more personal experience as you will only ever be booked in with me rather then being passed from stylist to stylist in a salon. After working in salons for 15 years I am so pleased to finally be able to dedicate all my time and attention on one client at a time.

Question 9

Do i need to shampoo my hair before my appointment?

Accepted Answer

If you are a new client then please leave your hair dry for when I arrive , this will allow me to see your hair in its natural state and analyse the condition, texture and thickness before I start. Then either you can shampoo and condition your hair or I can do it for you, what ever you feel more comfortable with. Once I have got to know your hair, you can then shampoo and condition your hair ready for when I arrive. For all colour treatments hair must be washed and dryed at least 48 hours prior to your appointment, this allows the colour process to work to its full capacity.

Question 10

Do you cut and style mens hair too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I am qualified and experienced in men’s hair and children/toddlers too, however I only carry out this service when accompanied by a ladies existing appointment.
