Guildford Cathedral Abseil
Guildford Cathedral Abseil
Alison, our Business Manager is bravely taking on the Guildford Cathedral Abseil in aid of Parkinson’s UK on Saturday 18th May. It is a charity very close to her heart and to many others too and wishes to raise awareness and funding for this very worthy cause.
Alison will need to climb up the 249 steps to get to the top before she abseils down the 160ft drop of this beautiful iconic local building.
Parkinson's is a progressive neurological condition. This means that it causes problems in the brain and gets worse over time. The number of people diagnosed with Parkinson's in the UK is about 145,000. That's around 1 adult in every 350.
Parkinson's UK's work totally depends on the money raised and donated. It's only with all of our help that they can find a cure and improve the life for everyone affected by Parkinson’s.
As many of you will know already, Charlotte is going travelling for 3 months but is coming back in time to see all her regular clients for Christmas. Her first day back is Wednesday 11th December.

What a day! First day at the Aveda Academy. The most jam packed day I've ever had before in the academy. We practiced our basic styling techniques on mannequin heads that will creat solid foundations for out looks, these include smoothing and curling with brushes, ponytails, pinning and plaits. I learnt lots of new variations of each which I'm looking forward to trying again

It gave her the opportunity to share her knowledge and expertise with Aveda and we were delighted that she passed the certification process. We could tell that Alice had thrown herself into the project.After attending workshops and training over 18 months at the Aveda Advanced Training Academy in London it was evident that the experience has helped develop Alice into a strong technical hairdresser. It was amazing to see all the hard work and dedication that was put into preparing for the Certification day. Well Done Alice"
