Amy
Say hello to Amy, an Advanced Senior Stylist at Strands Hairdressing in Hillhead. Amy has been in the industry for 10 years and says hairdressing is the best thing she has ever done. “I have done many jobs in the past and being a stylist is the only job I have had where I actually love what I do and love coming into work every day!”
Which styles or colours do you absolutely love doing? I love creative colouring – balayages and blonding. I love customising each colour to each client. I love doing extensions, giving clients their dream hair is amazing.
What do you love about being a hairdresser? I love being able to create bespoke colours/styles depending on each client. Especially after extension & colour clients. Watching them see the result of their new hair is an incredible feeling.
Who or what inspires you to create fabulous hair? I am inspired by my need to give clients an unforgettable experience. I am inspired to perform at my best because I love what I do and people pay a lot of money to see me, and I see it as a privilege to have the opportunity to exceed their expectations.
What is your ultimate ambition? My ultimate ambition is to make sure my family are well looked after. I would love to have my own space one day – maybe one day in the future!
How would you describe yourself in three words? Friendly, honest & caring.
Tell us something about you that would surprise others. I am a fully qualified cocktail bartender! And I did turn down a career working on a cruise ship to pursue my hairdressing career!
