About

My Background

My name is Kayleigh Kent, I am 24 years old and I live in Witham, Essex.

I have been interested in hairdressing for as long as i can recall and been working in hairdressing salons from 13 years of age working as a saturday girl.

I used to do friends hair at lunch time in school many used to ask me to french plait their hair or put it up if they were going out. From here this developed into me helping out Witham Twirlettes doing all their troupes hair at weekends for their competitions and carnivals.

Where I Am Now

I am now a mobile hairdresser concentrating in and around Witham, Essex, travelling up to 10 miles, or further with an agreed travel expense.

I enjoy doing all ranges of hair styling, cuts, colours etc, I particularly enjoy and specialise in wedding hair and special occasions, I thrive on the pressure to make that special day perfect!

Qualifications & Experience

I left school with 11 GCSE passes, which got me into an apprenticeship with Essex hairdressing academy in a salon called Lox in Boreham, Chelmsford, Essex.

During my 2 years working as an apprentice i learnt the following skills; shampooing, blowdrying, setting, cutting, tinting, highlighting perming, styling, and hair extentions. I completed my appreticeship in June 2007 and went on to become a full time stylist in Lox. Having worked here for 2 and 1/2 years I decided to leave to pursue my career as a mobile hairdresser.

I recently underwent a course to gain a qualificatoin in brazilian blowdrying in wood green, London and can now add this to the services I can offer my clients.
