Georgia

My name is Georgia, and I am a stylist at Mirror Mirror.

I’ve been a stylist for six years, but I’ve worked in the industry since I was 14. I started out doing work experience and completely fell in love with hairdressing. Once I left school, I began my apprenticeship at 16 and got stuck into the world of hair — and I’ve never looked back.

My favourite thing about being a hairdresser is getting creative and creating amazing looks for clients, then seeing them leave the salon with a big smile on their face. I also love meeting incredible people and being there for clients through different journeys in their lives — it’s such a privilege to share those moments with them.

I come from a family of hairdressers. My uncle, who’s been in the industry for over 30 years, is my biggest inspiration. He’s had an amazing career — from working on Gucci fashion shows and adverts to owning his own salon. Ever since I was young, I’ve wanted to follow in his footsteps, and one day, that dream might just become a reality.

My ambition is to have my own salon one day. Watching others run salons gives me a real buzz — I find it so interesting to learn about what goes on behind the scenes and to think about creating my own little hair space where people can relax and feel at home.

I would describe myself as caring, inquisitive, and approachable.

I’ve always loved history — it was my favourite subject at school, and even now I’m constantly reading and researching. Once I get interested in something, I want to learn everything I can about it.

My idea of bliss would be being by the sea. I love the seaside or being on a beach on holiday — it instantly reconnects me and makes me feel mentally refreshed and so happy.

It sounds too good to be true, but I’ve always wanted to be a hairdresser. I’ve had a fascination with hair from a very young age. I was obsessed with dolls and would always make sure mine had the best or the longest hair, because I would sit for hours playing with them. My family always said they knew I’d become a hairdresser — and they were right!
