SINGLE! And we’d defi nitely put a ring on it
start working towards moving up and becoming a junior stylist. What advice can you give me?
CAMILLA: Try and watch the senior members of your salon as much as possible and take advantage of any training on offer. Training is a brilliant way to pick up the skills you need but you can learn so much from watching someone in action. When you have the chance, use your team and watch how they do specifi c cuts, colours and always make the most of any time people give you. If a senior stylist is letting you watch them work then appreciate it, concentrate and you’ll really feel the benefi t. Also, be confi dent; when other people perceive you in that way it makes them see you are capable and ready for that next step.
Hi Camilla, I just want to know if you had to do any extra training to move up a
position at your salon? How can I ask my manager for it if I need to fi t it in around my working hours?

CAMILLA: First of all, you have to be prepared to sometimes stay late or skip a break because you have to make the most of any training as and when it’s on offer. It can often be outside of working hours but I think if you ask for specifi c help, most people will be happy to put some time aside during a quiet period or at the end of their day. At my salon, fi rst of all I had training once a week but that quickly moved on to several months of really intensive work – I was working on a model every single day! There were tears and tantrums but it was worth it. If you don’t feel as though you are getting the training you need to progress – if you’ve just been cleaning up and making teas and coffees – then tell your manager how you feel. They should defi nitely give you the support you need to move up.
Camilla, I’ve just started training at a brilliant salon, where it looks like I might
