London Calling




I have just a little over a month before I make one of the biggest moves in my life! I am off to work for Hob Salons in their Camden Salon. I have been preparing for this for over 8 months and I can't believe it is going to happen. When I arrive in London I will be blogging a little more often so all my followers can keep an eye on all the exciting adventures I will be having.

Our team traveled to Sydney last weekend and attended the annual Hair Expo at Darling Harbor. As usual we had a action packed three days and had very little sleep, trying to fit everything in! I spent most of my time while in the trade hall at the Expo stage as there were some great shows by the Australian and British FAME teams.

The judging for the new Australian FAME Team took place on the Monday and I was fortunate enough to be part of the judging panel. We choose a dynamic team for 2010/11 and I am very excited to see their progression on stage at Salon International, London in October.

We were invited to attend the Hair Expo Awards and Nick, Nella and I had a great time! We got to socialise with many of the industry greats, and was a great chance to dress up and enjoy Sydney. It was such a large dinner with over 1200 people in attendance.

The team also was very excited about the workshop we did with Sassoon's from London. Mark Hayes and his creative team put on such a wonderful and inspiring show. Nick was telling me that after attending the workshop, he is even more excited about going to London at the end of the year and training in the Sassoon academy. That is what I love about education, it inspires everyone at every level. This week Nella was tweaking her cuts in the salon due to what she saw at Sassoon.

I will put up more images this week of the inspiration we gained from the weekend.
