we have exciting news from the salon! 🥳

our two assistants & .jpeg have started their colour training! whilst both technically level 2 qualified, the girls are doing extended sessions in order to prepare for the transition into junior stylists 🎉

training takes place on a monday and they are offering discounted rates whilst they build their portfolio! at this time, unfortunately no current colour clients of the salon please and you must have a valid patch test and consultation with the girls to book.

here are some pics of their latest work!

DM them on their instagram’s to enquire and help out the next gen of the SANO team 👀⭐️
