Blast from the past - 1990's

Hayley Millington, now ART DIRECTOR at 'K2 the salon' and more recently reached the finals of the Wella Trend Vision Awards 2009, talks about her modern apprenticeship in an information pack created by the careers service and distributed to year 11s in the 1990s .

cameo owned by Philip Minton is now known as K2 the Salon

"When I was about 13 -14 I knew that hairdressing was what i wanted to do, and got a saturday job at Cameo.
I first heard about Modern Apprenterships on school work experience. Someone from the careers branch came to the school and checked what we needed and i went from there.
I left school, Cameo took me on and I started going to college one day a week. I'd recommend the Modern Apprenticeship - if you ever want to get your own salon and be able to train apprentices and assess them, or work in college, training to be a beautician next."

Hayley Millington, art director at K2 Salon in the Darwin Shopping Centre, was put through to the regional stages of the colour category of the Wella Trend Vision completion 2009 after her make up and hair combinations were seen by judges earlier this year.

Hayley has works at the salon for around 19 years and said she was delighted to make it to the regional heats where she has to recreate her original look on a mode in front of judges, as well as having to perform in an evening fashion show.

SIAN HOPING TO BE A CUT ABOVE IN TV SHOW.

A hairdresser from Shrewsbury is hoping to make it through to the finals of a TV talent show to compete against some of the most gifted young people in the country.
Sian Castree has made it through to the auditions for the BBC Young Talent of the Year award after submitting an entry form to competition organisers.
The 18 year old, of Castlefields Shrewsbury, works in K2 salon in Shrewsbury’s Darwin Centre.
She will travel to Manchester on Sunday as she battles it out with other young people to make it through to the next stage of the contest.
The competition is open to Hairdressers, chefs, mechanics and butchers from across the UK. Sian said she would be delighted if she made it through to the TV stage of the competition.
The former Wakeman School pupil said: “I have worked for K2 since I was 13 working at weekends and I did a one-year apprenticeship after leaving school before becoming a fully qualified stylist.
“A lot of us between 16 and 25 years of age who work at the salon applied for the competition and I got through to the auditions.”
“ I described how I really enjoyed hairdressing and said that I thought I could be an inspiration to other young hairdressers if I won.”
Sian said she was nervous ahead of the auditions but said she was also looking forward to the experience.
Staff at the K2 salon have also given the teenager their support with boss Jo Stephens set to accompany Sian on Sunday.”"

Good Luck Sian!
