Kim

Meet our Hairdressing Apprentice and Salon Assistant Kim who started her hairdressing career at Strands in 2004.

Tell us about your hairdressing experience so far. I have been at Fareham collage for a year doing Level 2 Hairdressing, and have worked part time at Strands, so I am looking forward to starting my apprenticeship.

Which styles or colours do you absolutely love doing? I’ve really enjoyed meeting different people and being challenged with different hair types. ⁠I love doing foiling and toners as I think it really paints some people’s personality.

What do you love about being a hairdresser? ⁠I love making customers feel good about themselves and hearing different stories.

Who or what inspires you to create fabulous hair? Seeing how much it can change how someone feels about themselves and looks.

What is your ultimate ambition? ⁠I hope to move abroad and create a big clientele either from my own salon or mobile.

How would you describe yourself in three words?  Bubbly, loyal, ambitious.

Tell us something about you that would surprise others?  I have 7 cats called Tiddles, Mavis, George, Winnie, Tux, Sabrina and Nova.
