| Introduction
Meet hairstylist Joanne Goh. Beneath that
quiet, shy demeanor is a woman determined to make you as beautiful as she
possibly can. The best part about this is that this determination and
intensity is tempered by her understanding of hair and her clients’
needs, their comfort In The Beginning
“I have worked in a hair salon for
eight years,” she announces confidently. Having trained as a
hairstylist, she worked her way up the ranks – from doing
straightforward tasks like shampooing to coloring, cutting and of course,
styling.
“There are no simple tasks in the
salon, especially not at THE salon,” says Joanne. She takes her work
very seriously, even the small things. For every task to her is geared
towards making the customer beautiful, and making them happy. “Some
aspects of hairstyling may seem simple and become overlooked, but for me,
it is the ‘little things’ that make up the details, and these are
things that a person going to a hairstylist would appreciate and
remember,” she adds.
Style
As a child, Joanne had always been
fascinated with hair. Her opportunity to train as a hairstylist was a
dream come true for her, which perhaps goes a bit into explaining the
passion she has for the profession.
“Cutting, blowing, coloring … these
are all part of the work of a hairstylist. I can’t say which I like
best, I’m just very happy to be doing all of them. But the greatest
pleasure I get is from seeing a face becoming very happy after I have done
my work on the hair!”
Modest Approach
Having worked her way from being a
shampoo girl to a stylist, Joanne has gained much needed experience to
deal with customers at every level. Very importantly too, Joanne, while
displaying an impressive knowledge in matters pertaining to beauty, color and style, remains humble and extremely modest about her abilities.
“I get pleasure in what I do. I also enjoy the company and camaraderie
of my colleagues at THE salon. I feel it’s a wonderful place to work,
and I feel our clients realize that this is a very good hair salon.” |
