How long have been with mcIntyres?

I’ve been a stylist for 11 years and with mcIntyres for 13 years.

I was still at school when I started at mcIntyres as a Saturday girl, I literally finished school on the Friday and started working full time on the Monday. 

What’s your specialism?

I wouldn’t say I have a specific speciality. I love doing it all! With that said, I enjoy doing gents hair and cutting in general and I love doing extensions.

What’s your greatest achievement while at mcIntyres?

Becoming a Principal stylist and working with my wonderful clients is my greatest achievement and pleasure, I was chosen to go to Berlin on a Sebastian trip to represent the salon, where we did workshops, hands-on training with others stylists from all over the UK, that was amazing! I really wish I could work more on stage and competitions but fear public speaking, but you never know…. mcIntyres has enabled me to go on so many courses/trips away, learning constantly, which I’m very grateful for.

What are your hairdressing ambitions? 

To continually develop professionally ,I’d like to further my skills as there’s ALWAYS room for learning . 

Who are your hairdressing heroes?

My hairdressing heroes are my team of course!!! Without them and their help over the years I wouldn’t be where I am now.

What’s your party trick/secret talent?

A talent I do have that many people may not know is that I can also groom dogs as well as humans!
