At 16 I told my parents I wanted to leave school to do hairdressing. I was quite academic and my parents were not happy with me leaving school and so encourged me to continue with my studies and go to university. I did a business studies degree, tried various office jobs (which I hated!) and was even a wedding planner for a while but I never stopped wanting to work in the hair industry. After the birth of my two children I took the leap to train and have never looked back! The business studies didn’t do any harm either as 15 years ago I was able to fulfill my dream of having my own salon and The Players Lounge was born. I love working as part of a team, looking out for each other and watching the team blossom and grow. At the end of 2021, I took the decision to no longer be on the salon floor cutting hair to spend more time on my product business @mooandyoo but I am still very involved in the salon, training and helping the team reach their best potential.
