In 2009 i closed my salon to become freelance ,in doing this i have bean able to travel around Europe the UK and parts of America to do weddings, photo shoot magazine and touring with artists. Working in television I advise and demonstrate makeup, makeovers and tips for hair, nails and skin.

  • In the Begining

    My College Days | Completed a two year course in hair and beauty

    This course prepared me for all industries involving hair and beauty. At the end of my second year I secured a position with Vidal Sasoon Hair Salon in Knightsbridge. I stayed for three months however, because I was not from their school of teaching I was not considered a priority student and their students needed to be placed within Vidal Sasoon. Vidal Sasoon was kind enough to offer me a position once I became a stylist.

  • First Job

    Fabulious Fingers Nail Studio | All About Nails

    I learnt the art of nail sculpturing. I learnt all the nail sculpturing systems such as gel, acrylic, silk wrap and fibreglass. I built myself a reputation and won several nail competitions in the meantime

  • Experience

    Understanding | Learning the trade | @THIRD COMPANY

    After a year I left Fabulous Fingers and joined Alan D’s in the West End. Mr Alan had several businesses but I was based in the West End. Because I was an all rounder and able to work with Afro and European hair I was frequently seconded to the other salons particularly when they were short staffed. Four years later I felt I had learnt all I could to endeavour running my own salon.

  • Time Out

    Family | Motherhood | Working from Home

    At this point I wanted to have a baby and so I took some time away from the industry and gave birth to my son, Jahmal. For three and a half years I worked from home.

  • Opening My Own Salon

    Entrepreneur | Eclectic

    My reputation has continued to grow and I had the privilege to work at many events including The Brits and M.O.B.O award shows. I have worked at the Brits twice, working for Beyonce, the Black Eye Peas and 50 cent. The following year I worked with Snoop Dogg and Pharell. For the M.O.B.O debut awards show I did the makeup at the nominations. The following year I did hair and makeup for various artists, dancers and presenters.
