The End and New Beginnings

Our year as F.A.M.E. Team 16 has come to an end and I am now starting an exciting new adventure - find out more below...

We ended our year with a beautiful dinner at the Dorchester Hotel and of course an after party!

The F.A.M.E. Team has been the best year of my life.  A year of opportunities and inspiration by our industry greats.  It has been a once in a life time opportunity to gain experience and knowledge which I know will help my future career. 

I feel so lucky and privileged to have become such good friends with Rosie, Jamie, Zoe and Antony, we've supported each other throughout the year and I know we will carry on supporting each other in our next adventures. 

Speaking of next adventures, I have some exciting news... I have resigned from Sassoon and will be taking on a new challenge of running my own salon in Manchester's Northern Quarter.  I am so excited to see where this can take me and I can't wait to share it with all of my friends and family.

F.A.M.E. Team Final Workshop and British Hairdressing Awards

Well we have had our final F.A.M.E. Team 16 day... I feel emotional but we don't officially give up our title until the 5th December. Definitely milking it until the last day!


Our final day was with Akin Konizi at the Hob Academy.  I was really excited to have a 'cutting' workshop day- it's always interesting to see how other companies work and educate their own cutting techniques.  Akin has won many hairdressing awards so it was a great experience to meet the man himself.

The big event of the month was a trip to the glamorous Grosvenor Hotel for the British Hairdressing Awards otherwise known as the 'Oscars of Hairdressing'. I have never been before and was absolutely blown away by the whole event. Myself and my friend (also my genius photographer) Sarah Brown were finalists for Newcomer of the Year category and although we didn't win the title we had a great evening and enjoyed every second.

Congratulations to all the winners! The collections were very inspiring and we can't wait to start shooting for our next year's entry.

I will be doing one final F.A.M.E. Team blog post after the 5th December to show our final pictures as a team so please keep supporting me in reading my blog.

Just a final thank you to everyone who has helped make this possible.
