<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Curly Hair? Time to unlock gloss and frizz control.</h2>



<p>Curly hair is bold, beautiful, and full of personality but if you are lucky enough to have naturally curly hair you’ll know it also comes with its own unique needs. Whether you have soft waves or tight coils, curly hair always needs deep nourishment and powerful frizz control to stay defined, glossy, and full of life.</p>



<span id="more-3929"></span>



<p>If you’ve been searching for a routine that provides shine and keeps the dreaded frizz at bay, then look no further. Kerastase Gloss Absolu Creme has been created especially for you!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><br>The ultimate haircare routine for curly hair</h2>



<p>If you have defined curls or a tighter coily texture or thick hair this three-step routine will deliver intense hydration, long-lasting smoothness, and a beautiful shine. And better still, unlike other products, it won’t weigh your beautiful curls down.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What are the three main products in the Kerastase Gloss Absolu Creme range?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/KER_GLOSS_26_ECOM_FLOWER_BAIN-RICHE_3474637308728_rgb_300_1x1-1024x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3934" srcset="https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/KER_GLOSS_26_ECOM_FLOWER_BAIN-RICHE_3474637308728_rgb_300_1x1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/KER_GLOSS_26_ECOM_FLOWER_BAIN-RICHE_3474637308728_rgb_300_1x1-300x300.jpg 300w, https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/KER_GLOSS_26_ECOM_FLOWER_BAIN-RICHE_3474637308728_rgb_300_1x1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/KER_GLOSS_26_ECOM_FLOWER_BAIN-RICHE_3474637308728_rgb_300_1x1-768x768.jpg 768w, https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/KER_GLOSS_26_ECOM_FLOWER_BAIN-RICHE_3474637308728_rgb_300_1x1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/KER_GLOSS_26_ECOM_FLOWER_BAIN-RICHE_3474637308728_rgb_300_1x1-2048x2048.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

<p>At our <a href="https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/">luxury hair salon in Lichfield</a>, education and expertise are at the heart of everything we do and this week marked an exciting milestone for our team.  Senior Stylist, Annabell travelled to London to begin her journey on the prestigious Kerastase Care Coach programme. Annabell was selected alongside a small group of stylists from across the UK and will be undertaking a year of training to strengthen her professional knowledge of hair health, scalp health and personalised hair care. As a leading Kerastase salon in Lichfield, this investment ensures we continue to deliver the highest standard of professional haircare for all of our guests from consultation to blow dry and from hair health to hair colour.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><br>Learning from the experts at L’Oreal in London</h2>



<p>Annabell’s first training session took place in London, where she joined fellow selected stylists to learn directly from the education team at L&#8217;Oreal and Kerastase. Over the course of the next year, she will attend a series of in-person and online training modules, working closely with Kerastase educators to develop her expertise.<br><br>These sessions focus on:<br>• How important the initial consultation experience is to meet our guests’ haircare needs;<br>• Advanced hair and scalp diagnosis;<br>• Understanding the science behind luxury haircare formulations;<br>• Creating bespoke haircare routines tailored to individual client needs.</p>

<p>Afterwards, Annabell will share her training with the rest of our stylists which will strength the expertise across our whole team at our luxury hair salon in Lichfield.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why professional hair consultation matters</h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">It’s National Apprenticeship Week this week (9th-16th February 2026) and we’re proud to celebrate the apprentice hair stylists who are such an important part of our salon team and the future of our industry.</h2>



<span id="more-3854"></span>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apprentices are a key part of our business</h2>



<p>We currently have two amazing apprentice hair stylists training with us and we’re excited to be recruiting for a third to join us very soon. Apprentices have always been a key part of our business, and after nearly 40 years in the industry, we’re passionate about giving back to the local Lichfield community by supporting young adults at the very start of their careers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><br>Our apprenticeship programme</h2>



<p>Our apprenticeship programme is hands-on, supportive and designed to build confidence as well as technical skill. Apprentice hair stylists study at college alongside working on the salon floor, learning in real-life situations with real clients. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Always looking for models for our apprentices</h2>



<p>.We’re always on the look-out for models for cuts, colours, hair-ups or gents hair so if you’re interested, please give us a call on 01543 254137 and ask to be added to our model book. All of our apprentices are overseen and mentored by Kerry, our Creative Director, who ensures our Apprentices practice what they learn at college in a structured way.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">L&#8217;oreal training for all apprentices</h2>



<p>As a L’Oréal salon, all apprentices also have access to the L’Oréal online education portal and we regularly host in-salon training days with L’Oréal educators demonstrating the latest products and techniques to the whole team. Once qualified, apprentices progress to Graduate Stylist and begin building their own client column so this is a genuinely exciting and well-supported career path.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Current apprentices</h2>



<p>One of our apprentices, Shelly, joined us with previous salon experience and has already her Level 2 qualification. She’s now working towards her Level 3, developing her technical skills and customer care skills in our busy salon. Our Obsession customer care programme consistently earns us 5-star reviews, so we’re incredibly proud to share this with our apprentices.</p>



<p>Alongside Shelly, we’re delighted to have Lena, another dedicated apprentice who is eager to learn and full of ambition. Lena dreams of opening her own salon one day, and we love supporting her as she builds the skills, confidence and industry knowledge to help make that dream a reality.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Currently recruiting for new apprentices</h2>



<p>We’re currently recruiting for a school leaver to start their apprenticeship journey with us. It’s a fantastic opportunity for someone who’s passionate about hairdressing, keen to learn, and excited to be part of a supportive, professional salon environment.<br><br>We’re incredibly proud of our apprentice hair stylists and the role we play in shaping the next generation of hair professionals. Supporting local talent has always been at the heart of what we do and we can’t wait to see where their journeys take them </p>



<p>If you’re interested in becoming our next apprentice or know someone who would love this opportunity, here’s some more details:</p>



<p>We’re looking for an enthusiastic and reliable Hair Apprentice to join us at our salon in the centre of Lichfield. You will work towards your Level 1 or Level 2 qualification with one day at college and the remainder of your week in salon receiving training from our experienced L’Oreal trained team of Stylists and Colourists.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Softer Shades, Personalised Tones &amp; Healthy Winter Hair</h2>



<p>As we move toward 2026, hair colouring in Lichfield is taking a more refined, wearable, and personalised direction.</p>



<span id="more-3820"></span>



<p>We’re finding that guests are still wanting luxurious colours but want a low-maintenance approach. There’s a definite move towards hair health and keeping hair colour looking good for as long as possible. Brunette colours and blonde colours are still popular but it’s more about enhancing natural beauty rather than overpowering it.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1000" height="700" src="https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Katie-hair-colour-2026-blog-graphic-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3812" srcset="https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Katie-hair-colour-2026-blog-graphic-1.png 1000w, https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Katie-hair-colour-2026-blog-graphic-1-300x210.png 300w, https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Katie-hair-colour-2026-blog-graphic-1-768x538.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><br>The biggest hair colour trends for 2026</h2>



<p>Many guests are wanting to subdue their colour for winter or go a bit darker. Two trends we’re seeing in hair colouring at the moment are suede blonde and cherry cola. </p>



<p>Suede blonde is a softer, more subdued blonde that blends neutral and warm tones for a creamy look, perfect for guests who want brightness without harsh contrast. </p>



<p>Cherry cola, on the other hand, is a deep brunette infused with subtle red and burgundy undertones, resulting in a beautiful rich colour that looks incredible in winter light.<br><br>As temperatures drop, many guests are choosing to go slightly darker for winter, opting for tones that feel warmer, glossier, and easier to maintain. It’s not about dramatic changes but more about refining your existing colour to suit the season and your lifestyle.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1000" height="700" src="https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Katie-hair-colour-2026-blog-graphic-2.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3811" srcset="https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Katie-hair-colour-2026-blog-graphic-2.png 1000w, https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Katie-hair-colour-2026-blog-graphic-2-300x210.png 300w, https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Katie-hair-colour-2026-blog-graphic-2-768x538.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><br>Why consultation is key for a successful hair colour change</h2>



<p>If you’re considering a hair colour change in 2026, definitely book in for a consultation with your hairdresser. Changing colour can take more time than your usual appointment, so it’s important that your appointment provides enough time without rushing.</p>



<p><br>Before you arrive for your consultation have a think about:<br>• What you love (and don’t love) about certain shades<br>• How much maintenance you are prepared for<br>• Any images you have are great as they can be a good starting point for our discussion</p>



<p><br>You’ll also need a skin test at least 48 hours before you have your hair colour appointment if you haven’t had a colour treatment with us at the Lichfield salon in the past 6 months so we normally do this at the same time as your consultation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><br>Looking for solutions to cover the grey?</h2>



<p>It’s a priority for many of our guests. The good news there’s lots of options, depending on the percentage of coverage you’re looking for.</p>



<p>• Majirel: Offers full, highly pigmented grey coverage, ideal for those who want a strong, classic result.<br>• INOA: A full-coverage, ammonia-free option that delivers a lovely luminous colour while being gentler on the scalp.<br>• Dia Colour: Provides up to 75% coverage with a softer, more blended finish, perfect for a natural look.<br>As experts in hair colouring in Lichfield we’re happy to help you choose the best option for your hair type, lifestyle, and the result you want.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><br>Personalised hair colour for every individual</h2>



<p>One of the biggest hair colour trends for 2026 is individuality. Colour is deeply personal, and no two guests ever receive the same formula. Regardless of hair length, texture, or density, every shade is tailored specifically to you. That’s why the consultation stage is so important so we can work with you to create a colour that complements your skin tone, the natural base-colour of your hair and your lifestyle.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1000" height="700" src="https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Katie-hair-colour-2026-blog-graphic-4.png" alt="Kerastase hair treatments" class="wp-image-3809" srcset="https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Katie-hair-colour-2026-blog-graphic-4.png 1000w, https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Katie-hair-colour-2026-blog-graphic-4-300x210.png 300w, https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Katie-hair-colour-2026-blog-graphic-4-768x538.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><br>Winter hair care: protecting your colour and reducing frizz</h2>



<p>Winter can be really harsh on your hair colour, just as much as summer can. That’s why it’s just as important to moisturise your hair regularly in the winter just as you would in the summer. Things like cold air, central heating, and damp weather all contribute to dryness and dehydration and dehydrated hair is frizzy hair.</p>



<p><br>Use an at home treatment mask such ask Kerastase Nutritive Masqueintense weekly or biweekly to ensure your lengths and ends stay hydrated.</p>



<p><br>This time of year lots of guests will be frustrated with frizz due to the damp air. For at home styling try the new L&#8217;Oréal Professionnel TECNI.ART all-in-one performer for anti-frizz, added shine, heat protection and 24hr style control.</p>

<p>For instant hair transformation, it look no further than Kerastase’s Fusio Dose hair treatment. Our Kerastase Luxury Ritual not only includes this amazing Fusio Dose treatment but also our signature head massage &#8211; the perfect welcome to our hair salon in Lichfield.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is Kerastase Fusio Dose?</h2>



<p>A customised approach is what sets Fusio Dose apart. Each treatment is custom-mixed for the individual based on their unique hair needs. Your stylist will mix together a base dose and a booster dose, based specifically on your hair needs. A base dose targets your primary hair concern (such as dryness, frizz, or damage). The booster dose targets a secondary concern (like lack of volume or split ends). With over 30 different combinations available, the treatment can be tailored to your exact requirements to nurse your hair back to health.<br><br>This unique two-step system blending a targeted concentrate with a conditioning booster means you no longer have to decide on just one hair concern to combat. Have hair that’s both curly and blonde? Dry and thinning? Flat and damaged? Fusio-Dose allows you to address a duo of concerns in just a single treatment.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What makes the Kerastase Treatment Ritual so good?</h2>



<p>Fusio Dose contains ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, amino acids, glycerin, antioxidants, vitamin E and natural plant oils, ingredients you’d normally associate with skincare. And that’s exactly it. This hair treatment implements that same level of care and attention to hair health as we’d normally reserve for our skin. It’s part of a growing trend, pegged as the &#8216;skinification of hair&#8217;, where hair products and treatments borrow the technologies and ingredients once reserved for our faces.</p>



<p>The potent active ingredients mean Fusio Dose isn’t available to use at home, so ensure you add a Kerastase Treatment Rital onto your next appointment as it’s only available in salon.<br><br>In just a few minutes at the backwash, Fusio-Dose works its magic. It’s a hair treatment that can be slotted into pretty much any hair service. So do you fancy giving your blow-dry extra bounce? Want to amp up the shine on your freshly-coloured hair? Or want to make your hair look even healthier after your cut? Simply add in a Fusio-Dose hair treatment.<br><br>Your unique prescription is applied to your hair after cleansing and delivers instant results. So you can enjoy from the moment you walk out of the salon and the effects will last up to 5 washes!<br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">There’s a Fusio Dose combination for you!</h2>



<p>Dull and lacking shine?<br>Frizzy?<br>Weak?<br>Damaged?</p>



<p>Whatever your haircare needs, there&#8217;s a Fusio Dose combination for you. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The benefits:</h2>



<p>• Instant results. Kerastase Treatment Ritual works in just a few minutes, and will give you visible results that can last up to five washes.<br><br>• Skinification of hair. Fusio Dose is inspired by luxury skincare ranges. It includes powerful ingredients like hyaluronic acid, amino acids, vitamin E, and plant oils, offering the same high-quality care you’d expect for your skin.<br><br>• Multi-level Treatment. Whether your hair is frizzy, dry, thin, or damaged, Fusio Dose can treat two different problems with one single treatment. So save time and still get the results you want.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Book in advance and save</h2>



<p>If you book your Kerastase Treatment Ritual in advance with your cut &amp; blow dry appointment, you will pay just £16 (RRP: £21), saving £5!</p>

<p>The shift to colder weather isn’t just hard on your skin, your hair feels it too. But with a bit of TLC and some winter hair care tips from us you can get your gloss back in time for the festive season.</p>



<span id="more-3739"></span>



<p><br>Winter hair care is just as important as caring for your hair during the scorching summer months. Central heating and cold winds can zap moisture from your hair and make your scalp more sensitive.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Which hair treatment is best for winter?</h3>



<p>A professional salon treatment, nourishing new colour or a healthy cut will restore shine, strength, and health to your hair this winter but which hair treatment is right for you?<br><br>We offer a selection of winter hair care treatments. And from 24th November for two weeks you can enjoy many of our treatments at half price* as we celebrate Glow Up Fortnight for Black Friday. Your hair stylist is best placed to advise you which one is best for your hair type as each offers slightly different benefits but to get you started here&#8217;s a little more information about what each treatment can offer for you.<br><br><strong>Kerastase Premiere Treatment</strong><br>Over time our hair can accumulate excessive levels of calcium from calcium naturally found in water. This build-up can make your hair dull and brittle and lead to scalp sensitivities. Kerastase Premiere is hair treatment that has been designed to strip out the calcium build-up and take your hair back to its natural state. Used at each salon visit your hair is cleansed from root to tip and left feeling super silky and vibrant again.<br><br><strong>Kerastase Treatment Ritual</strong><br>We absolutely love this treatment in the salon. Why? Oh so many reasons. Because it’s totally personalised to you Because it takes only 5 minutes to apply but yet it lasts for up to 5 washes. Because there’s over 30 different combinations available depending on your hair concerns. We could go on!<br><br>The Kerastase Treatment Ritual uses Fusio Dose, a powerful hair treatment that combines a base dose (addressing your primary hair concerns) with a booster dose (which supports your secondary hair concerns). How often have you wondered which hair concern to address first? Now you don’t have to. If your hair is dry and thinning you can deal with both concerns together. Flat and damaged? Itchy scalp and brittle hair? Fusio Dose will help with both.<br><br>Each dose contains ingredients you’d normally associate with skincare &#8211; hyaluronic acid, amino acids, glycerin, antioxidants, vitamin E and natural plant oils, leaving your hair 3x more nourished, 5x shinier, and up to 92% stronger.<br><br>This hair treatment isn’t available as a retail product; it’s only available in salon so take advantage and get your hair looking and feeling great for the festive period.</p>



<p><strong>Olaplex</strong><br>Olaplex is a hair treatment you may have heard about. A lot of celebrities talk about it as it works at a molecular level which means instead of sitting on top of the hair strands, it goes deep into the hair structure and gets to work on repairing broken bonds in the hair shaft. It works really well on coloured hair, damaged hair or hair that is prone to frizz restoring hair quickly back to a healthy beautiful state.<br></p>



<p><strong>L’Oreal Metal Detox</strong><br>Perfect for coloured hair, this treatment will keep your colour brighter for longer. L’Oreal Metal Detox removes metal particles that can cause breakage and dullness, leaving your hair healthier, shinier, and more vibrant. <br><br><strong>Kerastase Scalp Scrub</strong><br>If your scalp is sensitive you may find you’re more prone to itchiness and irritations during the winter months when the colder weather and central heating exacerbate it. Our Kérastase Scalp Scrub is a soothing treatment that will cleanse your scalp, remove any product build-up or excess oil or pollution and ultimately reset your scalp leaving you feeling calmer and more confident. <br><br><strong>Hair care prep for the festive season</strong><br>Now is the perfect time to start your Christmas party hair prep.<br>But book your appointments early, especially for colour or styling and plan your timings so that your hair will stay glossy right through the season:<br>• 4 weeks before Christmas: Refresh your colour or add subtle highlights for extra depth and glow.<br>• 2 weeks before: Book in for your hair treatment to add gloss and shine<br>• The week before: Schedule your cut, blow-dry, or updo to ensure you are party ready!<br><br><strong>Short on time?</strong><br>Some of our hair treatments are as short as five minutes. Ask your stylist or Front of House when you book and they can advise which ones will give you maximum results for minimum time.<br><br><strong>Keep shining at home</strong><br>Luxury winter hair care doesn’t just belong in our salon. Here’s our stylists top tips to keep your hair soft, shiny and healthy during the winter in between salon visits:<br>• Use a quality sulphate-free shampoo – Kerastase or Serie Expert shampoos are gentle yet effective ensuring your hair is cleansed and healthy at all times<br>• Hair masks are a must-have in the winter – Kerastase have a take-home range that targets different hair concerns so it’s well worth asking your stylist which one would best suit your hair type next time you’re in salon. Use it once or twice a week during the winter to keep your hair nourished and in optimal condition.<br>• Minimise heat styling and always use a thermal protector before using any styling tools.<br>Your stylist can recommend the perfect products to match your hair type and colour, so your at-home routine feels as pampering as your in-salon experience.<br><br><a href="https://obsessionsalonspa.co.uk/hair-treatments/">Hair Treatments menu </a><br><br><strong>Call 01543 254137 to book your appointment.</strong></p>

<p>We are so pleased to announce that we are working with the Stan Bowley Trust to help raise funds and build awareness incredible charity.</p>

<p><br>Read on to learn more about what they do and how you can help. We are planning to support in a number of different ways and we’ll be sharing details throughout the coming months.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">About the Stan Bowley Trust</h3>



<p>The Stan Bowley Trust was set up to raise awareness and funds for CyberKnife—a pioneering robotic radiotherapy treatment for cancer patients.</p>



<p>A former Staffordshire police officer, Alan ‘Stan’ Bowley was approaching his five-year all-clear milestone after battling cancer when he received the devasting news that he had a secondary tumour. He and his wife, Janet, conducted extensive research to find a way forward and discovered that the ground-breaking treatment, CyberKnife, was available in various locations worldwide, predominantly in the United States. With much support from family and friends they raised £40,000 to fund Stan’s treatment in the States which granted Stan precious time with his family. Tragically, Stan was later diagnosed with a third tumour in his liver, from which he eventually passed away. However, his family has always emphasised that this was unrelated to the CyberKnife treatment, which had been hugely successful in eliminating the nerve sheath tumour. It gave Stan invaluable extra time and the opportunity to create cherished memories with his family.</p>



<p>Before his passing, Alan “Stan” Bowley, together with his family and friends, established the Stan Bowley Trust to raise awareness and funds for CyberKnife technology. This groundbreaking radiotherapy treatment delivers high doses of radiation with sub-millimetre precision, enabling the targeting of previously untreatable tumours. The trust has played a crucial role in expanding access to CyberKnife treatment in the UK, particularly at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, where over 3,000 patients have received life-changing care.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What does the Trust do?</h3>



<p>Today, the trust continues to organise fundraising initiatives and events, striving to support CyberKnife technology while providing vital information to patients and their families. Its mission remains steadfast: to raise awareness of this innovative treatment and ensure more individuals have access to life-changing cancer care.</p>

<p>We’re delighted to announce that Shelly has joined our salon team as our new Hair Apprentice.</p>



<span id="more-3517"></span>



<p>Shelly already brings a lot of valuable experience, having previously worked in another salon and has already successfully completed her Level 2 qualification. With her passion for hairdressing and her positive attitude, we know she’ll fit right in! When Creative Director / Operations Director, Dan, met her, he was impressed by her enthusiasm and knowledge. “She’s keen to learn” says Dan “and she’ll make a fantastic addition to our growing team”.</p>



<p>As she continues her journey towards achieving her Level 3 qualification, Shelly is excited to build on her skills and knowledge in all aspects of hairdressing. She’s particularly looking forward to learning in a busy, professional salon environment and having access to invaluable Kerastase and L’Oreal training.</p>



<p>But as well as learning new technical skills Shelly is looking forward to learning about the Obsession customer care, something we’re all really passionate and proud about and something which consistently delivers us 5* reviews.</p>



<p>Supporting her development will be our talented Creative Stylist, Kerry, who has years of experience across all areas of hairdressing, including styling and colouring. With Kerry’s guidance and mentoring, Shelly will be able to build confidence and master new techniques, ensuring she has the very best training and support as she progresses. This is also a great opportunity for Kerry, as mentoring Shelly will help her continue to develop her own skills in coaching and leadership, something she is very passionate about.</p>



<p>We’re really excited to watch Shelly flourish and develop her career with us. Be sure to say hello when you see her in the salon. She can’t wait to meet all of our lovely clients and become part of your salon experience!</p>
