Dedicated to refining her skills and staying current with trends and techniques, Vera brings creativity and energy to her work each day. Outside the salon, she recharges by spending quality time with loved ones and keeping active, fostering the positivity she brings to her team and clients.
What inspired you to pursue a career in your field, and how did you get started?
As a student at school, I always enjoyed taking those classes where I learned how to create and make things that I could be proud of. Hairdressing is like that in way, where you create a new cut for your client or completely transform their image and give them confidence in themselves to get that new job or have that first date or just be able to walk out feeling amazing.
What advice do you have for young people looking to enter the working world?
If they are unsure, try and find an opportunity to work in that area for at least a couple of weeks. That way, you will get a bit of a feel as to how things run and what is expected of you in that work environment.
What drives you to continuously enhance your professional skills?
I do love to challenge myself in learning the new haircut or the new colour style that is currently doing the rounds as it is important that I can apply those skills with my staff and then our clients.
Outside of work, what activities or passions keep you energised?
Spending time with my loved ones and also exercising as much as possible, which helps with making a positive start to every morning and sustaining my energy and enthusiasm all day long.
What are your top tips for creating a healthy work-life balance?
Still figuring that out! Make time for your friends and things you love to do that make you happy.
