"I still enjoy hairdressing as much as I did in 1993, when I started as a Saturday boy. The relationships you build with both colleagues and clients along with the creativity and ability to make people feel like a million dollars is what sets hairdressing as a career apart from many others, and i love this! In my spare time I enjoy varied activities including Pilates, socialising, films and travelling and seeing new places".

"I have been a hairdresser for 25 years, I always wanted to be a hairdresser because I have a great eye for what suits my clients - especially to suit their personalities and lifestyle. I have taken part in many advanced cutting and colouring courses as well as many photoshoots, however my clients give me a much bigger challenge, which I thrive upon and this is where I feel I can produce the best.

Carol
Receptionist
I started at gorgeous in August 2018 & my role is salon support. My day is spent helping clients to feel comfortable and relaxed in a friendly atmosphere. I will also be heard laughing and joking with my team members, particularly Adam :)
brooke
I've now started my apprenticeship here at gorgeous after initially starting a full time college course and realising that wasn't for me. I hope to earn my level 1 and 2 NVQ while gaining as much salon experience as I can.
Charlotte
My apprenticeship is mainly salon based with 1 day a week based at West Herts College. I have always had a very keen interest in all things beauty and fashion related and although I took on my first position to fund my charity exhibition to Cambodia I have fallen in love with hairdressing.
