F.A.M.E. Team Blog
I can’t believe it but it’s true! Following a glitzy awards
ceremony at the famous Dorchester Hotel in London, I am now one of four F.A.M.E.
team members! For the next 12 months – myself, Rosie, Zoe and Jamie will now
feature in a series of styling shows, workshops and photoshoots with some of our
industry icons.
I am a Creative Stylist at Sassoon Salon Manchester. Being part of the F.A.M.E team (Fellowship Academy of Merit and Excellence) in this fantastic industry provides an
incredible platform for further recognition. It is also an opportunity to work
with renowned experts as they provide their expertise in mentoring days to
encourage creative skills and professional advice. It’s a chance of a lifetime and I’ve decided
to capture the best moments every month in a short blog of what promises to be
a roller-coaster journey in the company of three great teammates. Here goes…
Well,
what a tremendous kick-start to our F.A.M.E. Team year with Neil Atkinson from
Mahogany in the heart of London. The four of us loved his stories charting the
highlights of his exciting career. Not only that, Neil took the time to
share some of his stage presentation tips and tricks to create a passionate and
engaging stage presence – things that we will really need to put into action in
the months ahead. We all came away with the feeling that we had learned a lot
and were really energised by it all.
The second session was a cutting workshop with two of the
fabulous Creative Directors at Mahogany, Anthony Licata and Colin Greaney. For us
cutting geeks it was really inspiring to see a different take on a short fitted
shape; and fascinating to see how hairlines, disconnection and fringes can
create an unusual element to an otherwise classic crop. A masterclass indeed!
Next up, wig making with Tina Farey. Can’t wait!
A big thank you to Samuel Thurgood-Buss for taking the photos from the day as we were so busy working I didn't get time!!
