MASTERS AT WORK

We had a busy evening in the salon. Staff were invited to bring along a model, to be styled and then photographed by Eamonn. Back in the day, members of the Trades Association would have to produce a 'Masterpiece' in order to become a Master of their Craft. This would then be judged by a panel of trade experts, X Factor style, and a decision made as to whether the tradesperson could join the elite of their craft. No such formality in Nori Salon. Just all the stylists mucking in, creating a happy, hard-working atmosphere and producing some great looks. All of the masterpieces created will be featured in the forthcoming publication, Masters at Work.

Rosie Philp has been on her work experience with me for a week. She is a third year high school pupil, and she is interested in working in the arts. Her contribution to the past few days has been brilliant, and she has agreed to become my apprentice for the Nine Trades Project.

Above is Rosie's drawing of Laura, who is now on maternity leave. We used the drawing for the comment of the week poster.

Calum, Rachel and Jenni are still enjoying their world tour. Jenni is working as a diving instructor in Thailand, while Calum is now in North East Australia, working on a farm.

Before leaving South-East Asia, Calum managed to find the best barber's salon ever. (see above)

Life in the slow lane is fine with Jenni. (above)

Never far from the comment of the week wall is the main man, Liam Hansen. His most recent offerings on Facebook were worthy of a poster. "Just paid £205 for trainers." was one of his gems. I must see these trainers.
