Friends Five Star HairDressing
SANDY
We are currently looking for a Senior Stylist, minimum experience 5 years, hours to suit and excellent pay package. Call 01767 682789 and ask for Liz.

They represent the future of hair colouring and we’re very proud to be the only salon in Sandy to be able to offer these colours now, with stylists trained to the highest levels by Redken, London. We are offering Redken Chromatics with no price increase and are sure that everyone who tries this amazing hair colour will be amazed at the results - we certainly were.’ A quick glance at my daughter tells me that all is very well indeed. One wash and special conditioning, PH balancing treatment later, she is happily ensconced in one of the salon’s deep, comfy chairs chattering away while Sharon works her magic – trimming and layering. She catches my eye and flashes me a big grin – such pampering has her in her element. ‘Of course, we continue to use all the latest award
