Meet Sami
My passion for hair started at a young age. I was always fascinated with the way Hair styles could transform a person’s appearance & boost their confidence.
​
After completing high school, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a hairdresser & enrolled in a reputable cosmetology school. During my training, I learned various cutting and coloring techniques as well as how to work with different hair type and textures.
​
Once I graduated, I started working at a busy salon where I gained valuable experience & built a loyal clientele. I continued to attend workshops and seminars to stay up-to-date with the latest hair trends and new techniques, and I eventually became a senior Hair Stylist at the salon. After several years, I decided to take the leap of faith and open my own salon. It has been challenging but rewarding experience, & I am proud to say that my salon will become a go-to destination in Ponsonby for clients looking for high quality hair services.
​
I’m truly grateful for the opportunities and the experiences that have shaped my career as a hairdresser, beautician and I look forward to continuing to grow & learn in this exciting industry.
