"I’ve always wanted to do hairdressing and like that we do a variety of things each week, and particularly enjoy hair ups as this is something I’d like to do in the future.
I work at Niche Hair and Beauty. It is a lovely salon, everyone if friendly and I am doing lots of training for colouring and cutting. In the future I’d like to do hair ups for proms, weddings and special occasions."
