We have our two most senior staff ready to manage the new shop. Both the ladies have been with us for over 4 Years. We have a Junior Stylist who we will be coming with us. This will release vacancies in St. Andrews.
They will not have to deal with the retail or Internet side of the shop
Born at home in Townend Farm in Sunderland. My schooling and up-bringing was also in Sunderland,where my Father
was a miner and my Mother was a housewife. After school i started hairdressing by working in a salon on a YTS
training scheme and continued to work in that salon for 13 years. I completed a barbering course at Southshields
Marine College. In July 2000, i moved to Scotland and found work at The Barber's Pole with the proprietor Stephen Cooke.
Born and brought up in Pittenweem and attended local schooling. After school i carried out an apprenticeship
in Helen Allan, the hairdressers in Anstruther and remained working there for 9 years.I secured SCOTVEC
qualifications and Hairdressing qualifications.I moved down to Southampton for 4 years and worked in Michael's
Hair Design. I moved back to Pittenweem and returned to work at Helen's again for 2 years.I met my boyfriend
and we moved to Southend for 3 years, in which time I worked in a Barber's there. However i returned back to
Pittenweem after this relationship broke up and I went to work for Stiener of London establishment (hairdressing)
on cruise ships for 2 years. After leaving the cruisers, I went to work for Stephen Cooke at The Barber's Pole.
I am excited and enthusiastic about the prospect of a new shop and new challenges, and would love to manage a large shop
Our wages system shows a MASSIVE wage rise for hairdressers, and a reward for the countless hours they stand on their feet .

£9 for 180 haircuts
£10 for 210 haircuts
£11 for 240 haircuts
£12 for 270 haircuts
INCENTIVES
Top cutter of the week receives £100 extra
Hairdressers will not need to handle money, as we will employ a receptionist, who will be a trained salesperson also.
Cutter of the year wins a Holiday!
We do not promote tips, in this new era, our staff are well paid and the old tradition of 'making up your wages' isn't required.
We have an ex manager of a massive Computer High Street Store coming to work for us. Her expertise in this field will be invaluable. She also happens to be familiar with the centre and its trends, not only that ,she is an already well known face. Her input and advice so far has been invaluable.
We will be running Morale and team building excercises
We aim to reach out into the heart of the comminity as we already do in St. Andrews
We aim to employ 12 full/ part time Staff on the Hair Cutting Side to judge response, but within a short period of time, we expect this to rise based on our research
We would employ 5 people in the Sales department, all with an interest in the Company and all with Sales skills. We will also be addressing what areas of the Business could be improved, from day one.
We have an experienced web designer on standby ready to give this project his full attention and with Scotsmuir on the fine tuning of the software they are creating for us.
