After realising her university degree was not enough for her creative heart, Ali decided to change her future direction, and train to do something she loved.
With a mother as a hairdresser, and with a keen interest in hair and make-up, she first trained as a make-up artist, and gained a vocational qualification in Cosmetic, Theatrical and Media Make-up in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
She then obtained her hairdressing qualification, with distinction, at Saks in Glasgow, and has since worked as a stylist in a number of well-established salons in Edinburgh.
Ali has always been a warm, friendly and creative person. She loves her job as a hairdresser and make-up artist, as it gives her the opportunity to show off her creative side. At the same time she also enjoys making people feel better about their appearance. It is a very rewarding career for her.
Ali hopes that clients will feel welcome, comfortable, and will essentially enjoy their experiences in her salon.
